New Tasting Notes
This is the first of Adagio’s flavored teas that hasn’t bowled me over. While it is as fragrant as any of the others (seriously, my kitchen smells faintly of oranges a few hours later, even though I only brewed a cup), the actual taste is of mediocre black tea with a faint touch of citrus in the background.
Aroma before steeping – the spices. Aroma While/After Steeping – Fruity and Spicy. Has a Reddish-Purple Color to it. Not too sure if I am in to it or not. I remember buying this before but it’s been a while. It’s VERY fruity…which I don’t usually like…but the spice also cut it a tad…but not enough. Might be really good cold…but not hot.
We spoiled ourselves by starting our day with a sample of this very green high-mountain oolong, a terrificly rich, smooth, buttery, and complex tea. One can just let the liquor run across the tongue and savor the many different flavors as they’re triggered. Nice!
