Adagio Teas

My absolute favorite tea. I re-steep it all day.

drinks this tea every day as an iced tea and really likes it!

Tasty, but a little too everyday. I’ll drink it if it’s there, but I do not prefer it.

As they say, “you’ll either love it or hate it.” I pretty much hated it. I will try it again in the cooler autumn months, but until then, I’m staying away from the creosote flavored lapsang souchong.

It’s just good.

getting ready to do some work.. perfect wake up and go tea

Very light but very tasty. I could definitely drink this daily.

Oh god its so good! A great blend of one of my all time favorite teas. Very much like drinking down a bowl of popcorn ;)

Whee! So many little slides and settings! So fun! Yay upgrades!

Ahem, anyway. This tea just didn’t do it for me today. It wasn’t bad. It was just… there. Maybe a little burnt tasting towards the end? Mostly, I’m just sad that this doesn’t taste orange to me. It’s boring and plain. I want oranges, dangit!!! The most I get out if it, if I try really hard and squint my eyes and turn my head juuuuuust right, I can kind of taste something similar to licking the outside of an orange.

Yeah, that’s not enough orange. The last bit of this tea will be blended into something. It’s too meh on its own for me.

I’m out of this now. And I’m okay with that.

Earl Grey Bravo, nice to taste it again. I had a cup of this the day before yesterday at a friend’s house. I haven’t had it in a very long time. Maybe around a year or two.

Anyway, it was just how I remembered it. Strong bergamot, lemony zest, and a decent amount of caffeine. The black tea itself could be a little stronger. It reminds me that I should try more Earl greys. Also, I’m inspired to make some of my own one day. I’m already growing my own tea… I could grow the bergamot easily, too.

This is the best Earl Grey I’ve ever had. The bergamot isn’t too strong like in a lot I’ve tried. I served it on my balcony to a few friends and they drank every last bit of it.

resteep…weaker but still tasty. Won’t get a third from it.

Earthy flavor that lasts along time. A very plain, clean black tea…no fruity or sweet overtones.

yummm

Feeling a little under the weather. Genmai Cha is fabulous for clearing your head and a sore throat. mmm…

I’ve taken to brewing this tea in Gong Fu style, using a very hot water and leaving the leaves in contact with the water only for 15-30 seconds. This method keeps the tea from becoming seriously over brewed and bitter, which happens VERY FAST with this tea. Latest batch is a bit light on the bergamot.
