MOVE OVER Adagio’s Fuijan Baroque and Adagio’s Yunnan Jig…Mama’s gotta new bag!!! :) This seems to taste a little bit like both of Adagio’s Teas but better and together…It strange but lovely how it seems to be but it is! This is truly MARVY!

It’s bready/cakey sweetness with a certainly chewiness to it that I can’t get past! YUM. It’s Malty and the warmth lingers well after the sip. This is truly terrific!

LOVE this but SIPDOWN!!!! Rest to LiberTEAs!!!
Chewy and YUMMY!!!

A little bakey and a little cigar-likeness but in a good way…bold cup!
