Thor from Custom-Adagio Teas

I got a Breville tea maker with my money for Christmas! Good news about it is I’m making a lot more tea! Bad news is it’s very sad watching all my teas dwindle down, especially since I was used to only making one cups worth before. I still love it though.

ON TO THE TEA THOUGH! I recieved this as Christmas present and admittedly was VERY intimidated to crack into it since it is described as a strong flavored blend. I love black teas, but I usually add milk and sweetener to them. Keeping that in mind I was very aprehensive to just try this without any addatives.

After brewing it the tea smelled almost fruity, but nutty at the same time. Maybe fruity isn’t the correct way to describe it.. It smelled sweet in any case. This was reassuring for me, and taking my first sip did not disappoint at all. The apricot is pleasant, and like the smell, this tea has a natural sweetness about it that makes not not require to add anything at all!

To sum it up, I thought this was going to be an overpowering, strong, black tea but it was not the case at all, and I love it.

I’m pretty new to the tea drinking world, only started drinking it regularly about a year ago.

I like green, white, and herbal, fruity teas. I haven’t gone out of my comfort zone a lot. I’m open to trying new things though! Oolongs are what I’ve been getting into recently.

It’s a rare thing for me to actually finish my tea. Reason being I like to take a couple sips over a long period of time, and for some reason those last 2 sips I always forget about until they are gross and cold. Aww. D:

I’d love to tea trade with anyone interested!
