Adagio Teas

Perfect tea to just power through the day with – doesn’t distract you with scent. Pure and refreshing.

Just a really great, drinkable tea – light and perfect.

Love this – one of my favorite teas.

Had two cups of this tonight. Actually, these cups were the best cups of Earl Grey I’ve made. The first cup I steeped for about 4 minutes and then the second for a full 5. I still got a bit of the dry taste to it, but no bitter taste, which is something I wrestle with often when it comes to Earl. Good times all around.

Decent cup today, brewed 4 minutes and added honey in for good measure. Oddly enough, didn’t get much of a sweet taste from the honey.

Just a resteep. I’m never sure of how long I should let the second cup of Earl steep. I kept it going for 8 minutes, and it tasted fine.

I’m crazy for drinking this at midnight, but I’m an addict.

The tea that turned me on to greens… I’m almost out!

I was surprised by how potent the mint was in this tea. Still made for a great cuppa though.

Good.

50/50 blend with Apricot flavored black tea from Adagio.

Good nighttime tea.

Confession: after I’ve had my several steeps of these exquisite leaves, I will pick out and eat the buds and smaller leaves. Yes, it’s that good and tender, like the best buttered asparagus or artichoke with a vase of sweet flowers on the table. Enjoying Tea has a good price for Ali Shan, and it seems to me to be the same batch as Adagio has right now. Enjoy!

2 min in the ingenuiTea device, boiling water. First pass on this 3 gm of leaves. I weighed them because i love this tea and it’s pricey for my budget. But worth every cent! Ahhhhh! Honeysuckle flowers and buttered spinach. Each further steep of these leaves will reveal new scents and flavors. Smiling!

Good with a bit of honey and lemon juice.

Finished off my sample tin, will probably make it into the cart next time I make an order. I still have ~60 sample tins left though.

One of my favorite teas ever, almost out though.

This turns into a chalky, acidic mess when iced. Ick.

This is the first of Adagio’s flavored teas that hasn’t bowled me over. While it is as fragrant as any of the others (seriously, my kitchen smells faintly of oranges a few hours later, even though I only brewed a cup), the actual taste is of mediocre black tea with a faint touch of citrus in the background.

Savoring my last cup.

Very delicate and slightly sweet. Next time I’ll use more leaves, but it was good.

This tea is great on its own, but I usually mix it with Adagio’s black coconut. I did that today and it is gooo-ooo-ooood!

This was the end of sample tin – I think that’s the second or third sample tin of this that I’ve gone through, so I probably need to suck it up and buy the 4oz.
