Adagio Teas

Had this hot today!

I made another huge pitcher of this iced so I’ve been drinking it almost everyday. Yum! I’ll try this next time with the regular earl grey.

I cold-brewed this decaf earl grey and added limes to it! So delicious! Why I didn’t try this before, I don’t know. But this is a great fix to these hot days especially since I don’t use A/C! Delicious! No need for any sugar as this is already sweet and fruity/lime-y! The flavors that are normally very strong when hot, are not as pronounced when its cold brewed.

Had this one again tonight since I had a craving for something strong and citrus! This did it for me. It smells and tastes strong. I didn’t add any sugar or honey to it!

I drink this one a lot! I love the citrus tones in this one. It might be strong for some, but I like it. Steeped around 3 minutes, it doesn’t taste bitter to me. I added a dab of honey and it has made my night! :)

used this to make earl grey hot cocoa! it was really good! :) This time I did it right!

The only tea I drank all day. I couldn’t drink any beverages with caffeine today. single tear Regardless, I enjoyed this tea 2x and added a little honey and lemon.

I have a huge bag of this! My fav at night _

My mouth is slightly tingling from the spicy peppers I just had. I drizzled them with a tiny bit of rosemary sencha tea oil http://market.bonteavant.com/rosemary-sencha-tea-oil-AretteRosemarySenchaOil.htm which I got thanks to the promotion here. “Rosemary sencha tea oil” sounds so fancy and evokes so many images in my mind. It tastes really good and you need just a tiny bit. Finishing it all of with some jasmine tea which seems just a perfect match.

Just had a nice, fresh pasta from the farmers market + maitake mushrooms finished with a cup of Jasmine #9.
I’m quite addicted to jasmine teas. I think it’s just the perfect after dinner tea and I like the smell too. Very uplifting.

Update on the tea related design. These will be available for free to download and print on a t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie or whatever. This is a preview:

I’m always in the mood for jasmine tea :)

Not much left in the tin … Will re-order Jasmine #12 to support Adagio’s Roots Campaign helping farmers behind the tea.

Lin Chui Feng, the farmer making Jasmine #12, says: “the hardest part for jasmine pearl is jasmine flower blending. In order to get the best flower time, we must do this job in the midnight in Jul and Aug when the best time for flower blooming comes. Meanwhile we must control the temperture and time. A good quality jasmine pearl requests several time of blending so as to absorb the richest flower flavor”.
