13 Tasting Notes

Dream by the Fire from The Republic of Tea
74

Very well matched flavors that make for a wonderful rooibos. The Cinnamon and vanilla go great together but surprisingly lack the amount of flavor I would expect. Perhaps a longer steeping time would remedy this but I still enjoyed this tea very much. The vanilla provides a very faint sweetness while the cinnamon is the slightly more dominant taste. I’d prefer stronger flavors but it’s still a tea I’d have again.

Pumpkin Spice from Adagio Teas
60

The aroma is fantastic but the flavor doesn’t live up to it. Not nearly as sweet as I would expect but the taste is unique enough for me to really like. The best flavor comes out when warm and not too hot. The taste is mostly of black tea with pumpkin pie flavors to it. Enjoyable but don’t set your expectations too high.

Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
95

One of my favorite teas from Adagio. Great by itself or with a little sugar and milk. The cinnamon, cardamon, and ginger flavors make this tea really stand out. One tablespoon can give you 4 very good cups of tea. Recommended for anyone who likes flavorful black tea. :)

Birthday Tea from Adagio Teas
90

Nice and sweet. The vanilla tea being one of my favorites, this blend is great when I want something sweeter. It smells great and the flavors aren’t overpowering.

White Monkey from Adagio Teas
70

Very light green tea with a sweet flavor that reminds me of honey. Not at all grassy like some green teas can be but not as flavorful as I would’ve liked.

Jasmine #12 from Adagio Teas
90

An enjoyable and refreshing tea. It has a wonderful aroma with an excellent light, floral flavor. My first jasmine tea and it’s a great change from herbals, black and green teas I’m more used to. Lots of flavor even on a third steeping.

White Peach from Adagio Teas
75

Very refreshing. A light tea with a nice peach flavor that’s almost sweet but not overpowering. Well balanced fruity and grassy flavors make it a wonderful white tea with a lovely peach aroma.

Formosa Oolong #8 from Adagio Teas
75

My first loose leaf oolong and it’s better than expected! The dried tea is very earthy and musky. However, it came out tasting a lot lighter and smoother than I would have guessed. The flavors are earthy, woody and a bit grassy. If you’re not too familiar with oolongs (like me), you should give this a try. I enjoyed it.

Thai Chai from Adagio Teas
100

An excellent chai. Perfect with sugar and a little bit of milk. Not as strong as Adagio’s Masala Chai (one of my favorites) but the coconut and lemon flavors make this stand out beautifully. A new favorite I’ll want to keep around.

Paradise Tropical Tea from Paradise Tropical Tea
90

Easily my favorite iced tea ever. I drink tall glasses of it at a time, it is so delicious. I try to have a pitcher full of this in my refridgerator all the time. The flavor is very fruity and smooth. Highly recommended.

Decaf Mango from Adagio Teas
80

This tea has a wonderful mango aroma with a lighter mango taste. A great anytime tea but especially good cool or iced. Add a little sugar to make it a perfect sweet tea.

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
75

My first tea from the Yunnan region of China and I’m liking it. It took a bit of getting used to because of it’s strong flavor but it is very enjoyable. It has the dark color of coffee, the immediate taste of black tea but is smokey with a bit of a nutty and almost fruity flavor. A full bodied tea that I’d say is worth a try.

Red Bloom from Adagio Teas
75

This was a light, pleasant tea that was fun to watch open up as it steeped. Good both hot and cold, I got plenty of flavor out of it even on a fourth steeping. The taste was of a slightly sweet black tea with a bold flowery flavor.
