Erin drank Birthday Tea by Adagio Teas

I finally got the chance to try this one thanks to Ricky!

I took this with milk and sugar. I can mostly taste the awful Ceylon base that Adagio uses, but I’ll put that aside and concentrate on other things. I can taste a lot of caramel and some vanilla. The aftertaste is really nice caramel. Also, I’m noticing that it reminds me of a cappuccino.

There’s some weird oil-like stuff floating on the surface of this tea. Maybe it’s from the sprinkles, which were a really nice, really cute touch.

I really like the idea of this tea, but honestly, the Ceylon ruins it. C’mon Adagio! Get your act together!

EDIT: Now that it’s starting to cool off, I can taste more of the vanilla. I’m liking this more now; it’s not as bitter.

There’s normally a small amount from the tea, but additives can definitely add to it. Cappuccino??? YUM!!! Get their act together? Ha. Won’t happen:(

Yep, ceylon base kills it, otherwise it’s decent.
