I was surprised I enjoyed this – I typically hate ginger. But luckily, this is truly peach tea with a bit of ginger. If you want something with strong ginger taste, this won’t be the one for you. But for me, it was very tasty iced.

I almost wouldn’t have believed this was an oolong, it was so full bodied. It was like a lighter black tea, and looked like a black tea in the dry leaves actually. It was delicious, which did not surprise me in the least given my love for peach tea. I took a few sips when it was still hot, but I prefer it cool I think because it gets even peachier.

I enjoy this iced but actually think I would like it better hot. The basil and lemon are both present, but are mild. The lemon is artificial but because it is more of a background note, it isn’t bad at all. Overall, I’d say nothing to write home about, but a solid choice.

I enjoy this a lot – the white tea base is very flavorful. That said, I have never had guava I don’t think. I have had artificially flavored stuff that is supposed to be guava, but I can’t fully assess how guava-y this tastes. It does have a strong but not overpowering fruit flavor I like. I think it is much better iced than hot, but that is how I prefer fruity tea.

I really enjoyed this – I drank it iced, and I think it is summer in liquid form. It is mostly fruity but the floral notes are definitely there too – I think I would prefer it a bit more if it even had a hair more floral.

Blackberries are probably my favorite fruit. That might be part of why this disappointed me so much. I cold steeped it, like the rest of Adagio’s flavored blacks (trust me, it is the cure for the black base bitterness problem), and it was STILL leaning on bitter, and the blackberry was faint. Kind of meh.

Wow, this is actually very reminiscent of deep red wine! The flavors are unexpected but work together very very well. The cherry gives it the fruity taste, and vanilla rounds it out. I think puerh is perfect for this because the aged flavor gives it the earthy flavor that barrel aging would for wine. Most excellent!

This was pretty good. I drank it as iced tea, and it definitely had blueberry taste that played well with the freshness of the green rooibos. I find this kind of tea to be best for icing because it is so naturally crisp tasting and refreshing. However, I feel like next time I will need to brew it a bit stronger for fuller flavor.

I really liked this iced best of all – it isn’t sour or tart, but has a very refreshing white tea taste with a present but not overwhelming strawberry flavor. The hint of vanilla is truly a hint, and just gives it a bit of sweetness

I really enjoyed this – whereas many of the other gemaichas I have tried tasted like kettle corn a bit, this was a lot more subtle and in a good way. I could clearly taste the tea which was delicious as it was, and very smooth which I love. Then the toasted rice just added in a bit of nuttiness and foodiness to make it just right. Very good, but not too heavy for a warm summer night either.
