Adagio Teas has become one of the most popular destinations for tea online. Its products are available online at www.adagio.com and in many gourmet and health food stores.
I couldn’t help but place an order for some Adagio favorites. I did pretty well the rest of the year with not buying much tea. First, Adagio could NOT have shipped this faster, especially around the holidays, especially due to the weather, especially due to two of these blends being custom blends, so they obviously had to make it fresh. A++ for that.
Here we have one of my custom blends, that I created AGES ago, and never tried it, because I never ordered it. And now I get to try it! I will say right now, the flavoring here has EXCEEDED my expectations. There is a ton of flavoring here. It is delicious. It’s vanilla and it’s apricot. I have loved both of these flavors from adagio before. The only thing better would be if actual vanilla bean was included. Also in this blend is a bit of Assam Melody, which I love to boost the black tea a bit. I really could have included maybe 10% more Assam Melody, but then that would diminish the existing flavor bomb. Of course, I could probably use 1 1/4 teaspoons of this and then add 1/4 teaspoon of my own assam melody… The best comparison I could make is Bird & Blend’s Peach Cobbler. It tastes very similar to that, but on that one I think the base is stronger. Sure, apricot does not equal peach, but I think both teas use a fluid flavoring. I love this blend. Some might say the base is a bit astringent and harsh… but I used 1 1/2 teaspoons here and possibly I should try one. Some might also say the flavor is TOO much, so possibly I could fit an extra 10% of Assam Melody in the recipe anyway. I’m very happy with it! Especially when I created it very early in my tea drinking days.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep
This sounds delightful!
