From Adagio Custom Blends

Dark, strong, and a little bit dangerous, this blend of black teas with notes of chocolate and spice fuels Garrus for a day of sniping and sarcasm. He’d make some for you now, but he’s in the middle of some calibrations.

Created by: Jessica S.

Ingredients: black tea, cocoa nibs, natural chocolate flavor, natural hazelnut flavor, natural spice flavor, orange peels, cinnamon bark, ginger root, cloves, cardamom pods, chocolate chips

Steeping Instructions: Steep at 212° for 3 minutes.

I’ve been doing crazy sipdowns of everything that various people have sent me, & although many of them are teas I’ve reviewed before, this one isn’t! Thanks to Cavo for the opportunity to sample this. It’s pretty potent with a mix of black tea, orange, chocolate, chai…who knows what else. Kind of feels like one of those ‘kitchen sink’ type blends.
But I’m kind of enjoying it, although it isn’t something I’d want to drink more than once, & definitely not something that I’d want to have around. And now it’s gone!

Poof! And just like that, it was gone. :) Glad you enjoyed it, but yes, I understand how it’s a kitchen sink blend.

I drank a bunch of tea lately and didn’t log it, so now I’ve got some half assed catching up to do.

I actually enjoyed this one! Yeah it tasted like a typical Adagio black tea, but the flavours worked for me. I didn’t even mind the chai, though I still feel like Adagio’s chai is overused in these blends. Possibly because I don’t LOVE chai.

But yeah, a decent chocolatey tea! I still have enough for a cup left, thanks to Cavocorax! :)

This is actually one of the fandom samplers than I’m really interested in trying. I’m glad Garrus is at least somewhat tasty, considering he’s the best. :P

I have no clue who that is, haha

Cameron B.

Oh, sorry. It’s from a video game called Mass Effect. :)

So many fandoms out there!

Yay Cameron! We can be Mass Effect besties, mumbling incoherently about calibrations.

I was hoping/thinking this would be a chocolate chai blend, or at least that’s how I imagined it would turn out in my head. It does have a strong chocolate flavor to it (although more of a… burnt chocolate spice than chocolate itself), and there are elements of chai in it as well, along with a hint of orange. It’s also a bit of lingering dryness, which I’m learning is the nut flavoring that Adagio uses. If it weren’t for this last bit, I’d give this a strong recommendation, however the dry factor is really ruining drinking anything else for me, as it’s sticking round well past the sip.

Thank you Cavocorax for sharing this with me! This was on my list to try for some time now, so I’m glad I finally got the opportunity thanks to our swap.
