Adagio Teas

In a rush this morning (though I highly advocate sleeping in every so often), so I went with Yunnan Noir to start my morning once more. Sample’s almost gone.

Another disugstingly cold day in Chicago means another day of Yunnan Noir, an old favorite.

Was a long night last night, so I’m feeling kind of zombiefied this morning, and I have to go out in the -15 wind chill to run a bunch of errands. So yeah, I needed this.

Going to pick up my sister from the airport. Yay! And yum.

This one couldn’t brew fast enough. It is 2 degrees here in Chicago with -15 degree wind chills, so as soon as I got to work I pretty much ran to the water dispenser. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite teas. I love all Yunnan blacks for their peppery taste, but I love the red wine and sweet cocoa qualities in this one. I could drink it everyday.

Ugh, keep forgetting to log.. from yesterday..

One of my favorites from Adagio. Love.

A wonderful tea for breakfast!

A re-re-steep!

A re-steep. :)

This is such a smooth, mellow, pleasant tea. Nice in the afternoon.

Subtle, slightly sweet green. My favorite of the greens I’ve had.

Consumed in a giant mug that looks like it should hold beer!

I’m finishing up my stash of this now. I oversteeped the amount of loose leaf only because I don’t think I had enough for a 2nd helping. Either way – it wasn’t bad. Still find it pleasant.

Started my day with this one – not sure why. Regardless it’s still an interesting cuppa. I also enjoy this because there isn’t a funky aftertaste like some have. I’m getting low on this one…but not quite out yet

This one is great for this afternoon! Still LOVE the coloring in it – would LOVE to try Crafting with Tea-Dye or something!

Nice!

Steeped longer and more of the Loose Leaf while steeping. I am thinking that is the key…more and longer for better – more intense taste. YUM!

I still think this is a great blend of flavors. One isn’t more overpowering then the other, really. Thumbs Up!

Resteep

I can really taste the Chamomile in this today…hum…still good…

Another cup – just because

Steeped longer today. Still a good cuppa. I can really pick out the Rooibos today! YAY!

There are so many different things going on with this smell prior to steeping…afterwards it smells like a light, even blend of orange and Chamomile. The coloring is very dark with a reddish tint to it. All the flavors mix well and it’s quite smooth.
