Adagio Teas

Had it this morning. I’m almost out! It reminds me of the holidays. I love how it has the bits of chestnut in there.

i love this tea. it’s dark, rich and smoky, like drinking incense! i did not get beef jerky or any meaty flavor from it, as some have suggested… i think it really is a love it/hate it sort of thing. i like it plain, or with a bit of milk and brown sugar.

i didn’t really notice a lot of caramel flavor… a little sweet. just ok.

light chocolatey flavor, not too rich (not sure if this is good or bad) but overall enjoyable. i think steeping it in the ingenuitea helps as the chips have a chance to melt and mix with all of the water, not seep out of a little strainer/tea ball. good with milk and sugar.

I love this chai. I love chais in general, but this one really hits the spot. The green and the cloves together are a perfect blend. Soymilk, as always, makes it a little thicker and delicious-er.

Tasteless. Not worth it.

A good, if not distinguished, sencha. Definitely worth a try. Go easy on the temp and time, and it will turn out right.

Great! This has been my go-to tea for a few years, although I’ve since moved on to sencha.

Superb, but expensive.

As a Roobios junkie, I just knew I would LOVE this tea. Wrong. This blend tastes nothing of Roobios and is super overpowering with the cinnamon. Maybe it would be better iced or mixed into a cider of sorts…I don’t know. Not a fan.

Another Rooibos morning. This tea is great in any ratio…I used a heaping spoonful today it is just great. This Rooibos has never tasted too strong…only richer. Off to get another cup.

A perfect tea for a rainy and cold day.

Still in love with this tea. I used half a package of Splenda. Nothing beats the plain ole Roobios…all of the flavors I’ve tried are pretty gross.

The first sip I did not love but after a full cup, I quickly made another. Now, I’m totally hooked and drink it all the time. Roobios has a rich, earthy and woody flavor. Drink a cup while reading The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and you’ll enjoy it all the more.

Steeped this one for a minute or two less than yesterday, and the smokey flavor didn’t come through as strongly. Gave it a much smoother taste, though I think I liked the smokey flavor a little more.

A very smokey flavor that I love, though I wish it had a smokey aroma as well. Nice, dark color when brewed right, making this a great tea to drink by itself.

Single cup, 1 Truvia

Backlogging this mornings doings…I went all out with Ceylon Sonata this morning. about a teaspoon in a large mesh ball (plenty of room) and HOT water at a full roiling boil! 4 minutes and I had a perfect cup of tea. As I’ve noted in the past, this is a good tea, not an outstanding tea…I’ve had better “Kenilworth’s”, but all things considered, I’m talking about the difference between really good and really, really good…not between trash and good.

Finally got this one right today and it is particularly good. I like the fact that the tea leaves are in large pieces, leaves no fines the cup.

tried this again in my 2 cup teapot. Don’t know what the issue was a few days ago, but this is fine today. Not as noteable as some other “estate” ceylon’s I’ve had. I wonder if this is a blend….

Didn’t care for this too much…not enough to thumbs-down, but its not a thumb’s up either. I like my tea very plain…nothing added…and this tea has a very “flowery” taste. Sort of like the sweet you get smelling a fresh bloom of honeysuckle. Not unpleasant..but distracting from the flavor of the tea.

Very interesting tea. It is very dark in color and almost reminds me of coffee. It definitely has a cocoa smell and flavor to it. What sticks out to me is the smoky flavor.

It’s hard to over steep this tea, as I let it steep for about 10 minutes and it didn’t get bitter. In fact, I liked the longer steep a little more as the flavors come through a bit better.
