The first few sips of this one didn’t excite me. I thought it a fairly weak black, and the flavor profile vague and not at all what I expected. Too fruity? But by the time I had finished my mug, I changed my mind. The flavor seemed to grow on me, gaining strength and definition. I was now picking up a lot of the chocolate and caramel advertised, and enjoying it thoroughly.

I tried a second steeping with some added Chestnut. This is turning into my go-to strategy for all the Adagio blacks, and it hasn’t let me down yet. The combination was fantastic. Is there anything that doesn’t pair well with Chestnut? If so, I haven’t found it yet!

I love flavored teas, especially black “dessert-like” teas, or teas I can make dessert-like with the addition of almond milk and truvia. Yes, I’m that girl that never orders her coffee black, and instead gets the double mocha on ice with whipped soy cream and almond shavings. Hey, that’s what I love, and I’m not afraid to embrace it! I’m on the warpath to sample as many new teas as my budget (and husband) will allow, and am pretty much working my way through the entire Adagio catalog at the moment.

I almost always hate chamomile or any blend with chamomile in it, and have detested every single Earl Grey I’ve tried (sorry…I’ve tried quite a few!).

I am lucky to live and work in the fantastic city of Portland, and I’m vegan.
