Cinoi drank Almond Oolong by Adagio Teas

Good tea: very fragrant leaves, aromatic brew, great tasting tea. The oolong is rich in flavor with a hint of almond as the final note. Drank hot with no additives. This is my first Adagio flavored oolong, but I must admit, I am intrigued and interested in getting more.

They’re all good! I like this one more than their flavored black. But if you’re looking for a peach oolong, compare their’s to their Dancong Aria- it’s technically unflavored, but I describe it as “peachy keen” lol.

My favorite caramel tea is actually a caramel oolong from www.botanicalindulgence.com although I’m looking for a good caramel green. I’m not a black tea fan and I hate that there are so many more flavored blacks than green, white, oolong, yellow (have yet to find a flavored yellow), pu erhs.

you’re right… I have never seen a flavored yellow…

Bio

I am a sarcastic perfectionist, a computer nerd, a game geek, an avid reader, a gadget guru, a wine (and tea) enthusiast, and (in my spare time) a chemist.

As I mentioned, I am a chemist, research and development to be exact, so when evaluating tea, it is much like evaluating my products: I will find the flaws and do my very best to fix them because it is what I love to do. Along those lines, nothing is perfect, but can have perfect qualities, I will highlight those also.

I made a preliminary guide to my rating scale:
0-19 – Did not like anything about the tea, feel it cannot be saved without being reformulated.
20-40 – Did not like the tea, it can be saved with extreme amounts of tweaking (i.e., sugar, milk, honey and or blending with another tea)
41-60 – Neutral about the tea, it can be helped or hurt by additives or blends, varied temperatures and steep times
61-70 – Decent tea, needs a little bit of help to get it in the place I like it, but definitely not out of reach
71-80 – Quality tea, liked it, will try again
81-90 – Really enjoyed the tea, high quality, will continue to drink the tea, not looking for something better
91-100 – Loved the tea, will continue to brew and drink and spread the word about the tea to everyone
