This is one of the privately labeled samples I picked up at Chabon Tea & Spice; but a double-check of ingredients confirms it’s an Adagio.

We got caught in a chilly downpour, so a little warmth and a little spice are welcome this afternoon. In this particular blend, the spice is cinnamon, which overwhelms the maple and cream flavors just a little. It’s still tasty and toothsome; just mislabeled. A more accurate title would be Cinnamon Apple Pancakes. (I did get a kick out of the review that said this would make better potpourri than tea.)

Speaking of mislabeled, I’ll throw in a story for free so you can have a laugh at my expense: lunch this afternoon was at the Lucky J; half steak and barbecue; half rodeo arena (you can sit out at the high-tops and watch ‘em barrel race). However, today, we chose a quiet, dimly-lit booth. Our server brought out my pulled pork sandwich and a hickory barbecue sauce bottle, which I applied liberally. I was halfway through the sandwich, thinking "hmm…this isn’t their usual sauce; it’s awfully sweet." And thus, I ate my first-ever pulled pork with hot fudge. (My lunch was comped and I walked out with a fresh one for later.)
