I’m having this at the local coffee shop! I’m not certain that it’s Adagio, but it tastes a lot like it!

Mint Rooibos Iced Tea from Rishi Tea
15

I’m normally not a fan of iced mint tea, but this is a nice blend. Quite refreshing!

I had a glass of this tea, iced, last night. It was very good, and didn’t require any sweetener. I might have a new favorite evening iced tea!

a sip without doctoring was about what you’d expect, but stronger bergamot than I was ready for. adding agave nectar and soymilk brings out the rooibos more. I’m going to stick with it plain in the future.

Rooibos Jasmine from Adagio Teas
55

I’ve been experimenting with steeping times for this tea. A 2-3 minute steep is more like a green jasmine tea than a rooibos. A 5-10 minute steep is more of a rooibos with a hint of jasmine. Both good, but different.

Just what I needed this evening. I only have the sample size, and I’m not far through it, but I’m ready to place an order for a large tin!

I’m not a huge fan of rooibos tea, but I do love a good green jasmine. This tea is a lot more like green jasmine than red, and I’m a big fan of that!

Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte from Tazo

Glad to have a decaf latte option, though I prefer the London Fog one.

Profile

Bio

a tea drinking geek librarian

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

I went on a (near) tea fast in 2009 when I was pregnant, and am only now really reintroducing tea at the levels I was drinking it before. I’ve lost some of my tasting edge, but that just gives me an excuse to drink even more. :)

tea rating guide
(updated 12/2010)

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.

90-99: will definitely get more of this tea

80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time

70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season

60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard

30-39: okay, will try again, maybe

20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available

10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup

0-9: didn’t even finish the cup
