The black tea chocolate and strawberries. Do not steep more then two minutes because I’t gets bitter. Its good a black tea with a medium chocolate taste with a hint of strawberry. I’ts good.

This is the tea that sucked me into Adagio with full force- it’s a true delight. The strawberry and chocolate flavors mix beautifully. Before this tea, I would never have seen myself drinking a tea flavored like dessert, but this made me a believer.

I think it could use a touch more strawberry flavor to it, but it’s just a wonderfully rich tea.

I love this tea. Fruity and chocolatey! It make a wonderful guilt free dessert.

One of my absolute favorites. This is the best of the chocolate/strawberry combinations.

This morning’s tea – I didn’t make it and the leaves sat in the pot for too long so it was a little bitter, but it was mixed with cream tea to make it smoother and I put some sugar and milk in to take away the bitter so it ended up pretty okay.

Upon first sniff it’s true “chocolate covered strawberries” as described. During/After Steeping the “chocolate” scent is subtracted quite a bit. Strawberry scent is more prominent. But when you taste it with the taste and smell combined it’s like a “smoked” chocolate with a hint of strawberry. I really like it, tho. A good blend. Closer to a black tea than a flavored blast which I like. Worth a try, indeed!

I chatted for an hour (or more) with my SororiTEA Sista tonight! :) Thanks for the chat, Anne!

This one used to be one of my faves when I first started ordering online but it really isn’t anymore…it’s a bit more bitter than I remember and The chocolate has faded…bummer…I wonder if they have changed it from my first purchase like 2 or 3 years ago to my last purchase about a year ago…oh well…

SIPDOWN ALERT!!!! It’s gone from my stash!!!

Understeeped – just for kicks…still fairly good…not as chocolatey tho

It appears I am getting low on this as well and owe it to some of the swaps I have going out. Last time I bought it I the medium sized tin! Gotta LOVE those tins from Adagio!

Enjoying a day off…so I might not post much until later today. This one started my day. YAY!

I needed to start today with a black tea…seems I am running low on good loose leaf black teas…hummm…oh well…this one will certainly fit the bill! Still LOVE it!!!

backlogging…

3 cups/infusions – all great! I ran out of this at work…need to refill my tin from my larger stash at home and bring back in to work!

Had 2 cups this morning and having more now. Has become a good-ole-standbye!

Another Backlog

Backlogging and loving it!

backlogging…2 cups

backlogging…both hot and iced today…very nice

Started my morning with this today. I’ve had a sweet tooth lately. This seems to help! LOL

Resteep – YUM

WHOA…Oversteeped A LOT…but still good tastes more like DARK Black Tea with DARK Semi-bitter Chocolate…just a heads up.

Resteep 2 and 3 – Very Good! So glad I reordered this!

Ordered! YAY! LOVE IT!

Re-steeps 2, 3, and 4 have been successful thus far!

OMG! This is my last bunch of this! Ek! Must re-order! Anyhow…I added a tad more loose leaf because I didn’t have quite enough for another stand-alone cup. I am going to see how many re-steeps I can get out of it. I think I am going to go thru withdraw if I don’t reorder…it’s that good folks!

Forgot to log yesterday. Had 2 cups! LOVE IT! Almost out of it…need to reorder a bigger size!

Resteep…twice…

I wanted a Hersey’s Bar…for a change…but this is healthier! :) LOVE the smell! It’s so Dark Chocolate smelling…just what I was craving!

Resteep

I’m already half done with this from my shipment! Ek! Totally WORTH IT! Re-order a MUST

Just a warm up…

For the hell of it I tried a 2nd steep on this one. Prior to steeping the 2nd time you can smell a little strawberry…afterwards…nuttin’. The black tea is still very strong but the flavoring not so much. Still have to give it a thumbs up tho…

Nibbling on some dark chocolate and I decided to pair it with this…yum…I have officially decided to reorder this one next time I put in an Adagio order…a nice change but still a great black tea, too!

Yup! I will certainly be reordering this one. It’s wonderful!

This was my 2nd time having this and I must say I like it even better the 2nd time…yes, this is a good black tea with a nice smell and a little extra somethin’, somethin’…what a treat!

Probably my favorite black flavored tea from Adagio. This stuff just hits the spot.

Strawberries + chocolate + tea = yes please.

This one is really hitting the spot today. I didn’t have any tea yesterday because I was.. hurting from the previous night’s celebrations, so it feels good to have a cup. Valentines is one of the first teas I really loved from Adagio, or anywhere. Not too sweet but definitely has that taste of chocolate-covered strawberries.

An old standby for a Saturday morning.

This one tastes kind of off today.. but still good.

Still one of my favorite teas of all time. I’m just about through my third sample size of this.. I should probably just suck it up and order a 4 oz.
