This is probably my favorite flavored black tea from Adagio. Most of their flavored blacks are kind of artificial tasting, with the smell being overwhelming in comparison to the rather weak taste. However, this is wonderful. The smell was divine and the taste was subtle without being weak. It actually tastes like real strawberries, too. I’ll add this to my list of things to re-order once my sample runs out.
Also, I’m drinking this with my new glass tumbler from Teavana. The leaves look gorgeous floating around!

This is very soothing to drink before bed.

To be honest, I can’t really tell a difference between the teas I received in my White Sampler from Adagio. I’ve liked all of them equally.

This tea is really floral, perhaps a bit too much for my liking, because the aftertaste is pretty strong. Next time I make it I’m only going to steep it for 4 minutes. It smells wonderful both before and after steeping, and it is definitely going to be one of my favorites.
EDIT: I just finished my cup. As the tea began to cool down, the jasmine flavor wasn’t so overpowering anymore. By the time I finished the cup, I liked it better.

The texture is very creamy, with just the smallest hint of grassy taste. It leaves my mouth feeling very smooth, almost like it’s coated in something. Aside from Adagio’s Peppermint tea, this is the most curious sensation my mouth has ever had after tasting a tea. I definitely like this, but I don’t think I’ll drink it too often.

This was the first white tea (not counting Jasmine Silver Needle) that I had ever tasted. I really liked it a lot. It was smooth and light, without being grassy. I bought Adagio’s white tea sampler, and I hope I like the other teas as much as I liked this one.

When I received my order from Adagio, I noticed that my sample tin of Jasmine Silver Needle seemed to be slightly deformed. This resulted in the lid being extremely difficult to remove. I was so excited to open the tin that I didn’t take the time to think things through, and realize that opening a tin of tea over a long shag carpet probably wasn’t the best idea. So finally the lid flew off, and the most expensive tea I have ordered to date went FLYING. It all landed in the shag carpet. What a nightmare. It took me forever to pick it all out, and my first sample cup most likely was an infusion of Jasmine Silver Needle and Carpet Fibers. Tasty.
Despite this nightmare, however, the tea really did taste wonderful. It was so light and flowery, and the smell was AMAZING as well. I have around $15 in frequent cup points built up, so guess what tea I’m going to spend them on?!

This was the first time I had ever tried a Honeybush tea, and I’m pretty impressed. The apricot was lightly sweet and not artificial-tasting at all. The fact that it doesn’t have caffeine is just an added bonus!

This tea was very interesting. First off, it smelled great. The smell was so strong I could smell it before I even opened the tin. It had a typical peppermint flavor, which makes your mouth feel cold after you drink it. It’s such a curious sensation coming from a hot drink. Overall, I loved it. It tasted great on this winter day, which was cold, even for Texas.

The smell of this was really amazing! I opened the tin and didn’t even need to lift it to my face to smell the sweet, savory aroma. With a smell as good as that, I really expected something spectacular. It certainly tasted good, it just wasn’t as good as the smell led me to believe. I’ll order this again, because I really did enjoy it.

This was the first tea I sampled from a large (for me) shipment I received today. I’m so excited to try the rest, so I’ll probably be logging pretty frequently, especially since I have 4 days in a row without class. Maybe I’ll taste something that will replace Golden Monkey as my favorite!

Every time I drink this, I am reminded that it is my favorite. I absolutely love it.

I really like this tea. It tastes a bit like Golden Monkey, but without the chocolate.

Full-bodied, slightly tart. Really great to bring to morning classes because the taste alone keeps you alert.

This is not at all what I was expecting, but I love it. It tastes better than it smells. It is so smooth and light, yet creamy at the same time. I can barely taste the chocolate that other people are talking about, it’s more of an after taste. It’s delicious.

I’m liking this more and more every time I drink it!

So delicious in the morning!

I drank this to sweeten up my day, which has been ruined by a terrible haircut. I might have to drink this every day until it grows back out.

Nutty, full-bodied, goodness.

The smell was strong and pleasant, but once again I had a hard time tasting the flavor. What I could taste was nice, but only if I held it in my mouth for a while. I’m going to give it another chance though, but next time I’ll steep it longer.
