I can’t believe I haven’t written anything about this in a while. This tea is perfect for this season! This is one of my favorite Adagio custom blends. It is perfect for the fall. It has a nice spicy scent and flavor to it. I will attempt to make this over the stove!

This was so delicious! I steeped it 2 times before I got bored. But this is one of my favorite oolongs. It is milky and not bitter. The floral tones mixed with sweetness is amazing. Delicious!

This is a nice, hearty black tea that is just perfect for the morning! It has a strong taste and scent to it. It goes great with milk and sugar. I love that it has a smokey, toasty taste to it which becomes more like a chocolate taste. The smokey and toasty flavors are not very strong and are only there initially. good tea overall! I wish I could have bought this before they ran out. I received this in a swap :)

The scent and flavor has gone. I had to throw this one away. I didn’t reach for it often enough since it is too bitter and the flavors didn’t go well with my spices. SIGH I have never thrown tea away before :(

This is a pretty decent tea. I think that momo goes better with green or white teas. The black teas I think overpower the peach flavor just a little bit. Good tea overall!

No Thank You… This was awful. It taste so bad I spit it out.

I had this in my 30 pyramid bag sampler from Lupicia. This one was in Japanese, and when I looked in the booklet that it came in, it was called Happiness. It smells fruity, and there are nice green tea leaves. Possibly sencha? This brewed up a nice yellow liquid. The scent was fruity… like peaches. I love peaches! When I tasted it, the first thought was “OMG Buttery goodness!” This was so delicious! I love the lack of astringency and how smooth it went down my throat. Wow! I don’t always have flavored green teas in my cupboard, so the once in a while surprise is nice. I do get tired of drinking flavored teas quickly if I have a large amount of it.

This one is just fabulous. It made me feel happy, and it reminds me of the first time I tried a fruit flavored green tea, which I remember buying from Whole Foods… It was pineapple sencha by serendipitea. That was happiness! This one is great. MAN! I am on a tea binge this weekend! :)

I opened this tea up finally. I was a little disappointed to be honest. I saw the beautiful whole spices in there, such as cloves, cinnamon bits, and cardamom pods. However, all I smelled was some sort of cinnamon spice oils. It smells too strong, and I was worried it would overpower the blend. The chai blends that I have tried never had this scent. I usually make my own blend or buy blends that are natural. This one is not natural.

Anyway, I brewed this up Western style. The blend was not bitter, which is a plus. I needed to add sugar and milk to this though. The oil is overwhelming :( I don’t recall the sample being this way. The milk and sugar did temper the oil, so I was a bit glad about that. Overall, this isn’t one of my favorites, but it seems as if it would be a great tea during the cold winter months. I will try this again but brewed over the stove top.

I don’t think I wrote a review for the first time I tried this nice tea from Teavivre. Anyhow I cleaned the first steep for about 30 seconds to a minute. Then i steeped the second time for 30 seconds! The brew was a thick, black tea. The scent is earthy and like wet fall leaves. There was a hint of fish to the scent… However, I burnt my tongue drinking this! I was too excited. _

Anyhow the taste was surprisingly light and airy, which I wasn’t expecting due to the liquid’s consistency. The taste was like wet fall leaves mixed in with some sweetness. There is a lot of depth to this tea. There is more lingering in the back of my mouth when I taste this tea. I can’t seem to describe it though. I used a large mug for this tea, and will try another steep of this later. I am sure more flavors will pop up. I didn’t taste any bitterness in this tea.

I’m in heaven with teas today! I decided to open this tea up since I have managed to finish a lot of tea recently. Oh my goodness! I now remember why I bought this tea! The scent is intoxicatingly delicious.

First off, I love oolong. This one has nice, wiry but thick black/brown dry leaves. The scent is like I just made some coconut milk from a ripe coconut. As for color of the brewed tea, I can’t really comment on this as I was using my green colored tea cup! The scent and flavor of the brewed tea is amazing. It tastes like coconut water… not like the ones you buy from the store (all of them do not taste natural… they taste like there were additives put in there). This one is pure, buttery, and smooth. There was no astringency or bitterness at all. The one thing I noticed is that the taste is not as strong as the scent, which is a good thing.

Wow! Overall, this is a great tea! This is getting excited about my upcoming wedding celebration in the Philippines in January.

This tastes wonderful. It is like taking a bite of a caramel, sugar cookie! It is so smooth and there is a hint of nutty taste to it. Absolutely delicious! This is even better with milk and sugar! WOW! Dessert in a cup!
