Adagio Custom Blends, Lilly T.

Adagio CommuniTEA – April 23rd, 2023

So this is a puerh-black blend with spices and cream flavor and anise seeds. A bit confusingly, it’s not actually meant to emulate tea with sugar or specifically to be drunk with sugar. It’s actually named after a cat named Sugar…

Anyway, it’s okay. The puerh isn’t super noticeable, as it gets covered up a bit by the cinnamon. I can tell it’s there if I search for it. The cinnamon here reminds me of the smell of those cinnamon pinecones and cinnamon brooms that grocery stores tend to carry in the fall and winter. Or maybe potpourri sort of cinnamon. I assume there’s some clove in the “spice flavor” as well. I don’t actually get a ton of anise, though it’s mentioned several times in the description.

Mostly it’s a cinnamon black tea with a bit of clove. Not a favorite for me.
