355 Tasting Notes
This tea will never not be delicious.
Where do you get your Stash Tea? Every store in my area carries only 2 or 3 flavors and never the ones I want :(
I get mine at Jewel, a local grocery store chain.
As a student of language I feel it is my duty to mention that there is a word which simplifies the phrase "never not" and that word is "always". If your phrasing is intentional and rhetorical, and this comment is seen as annoying/pedantic please disregard and have a nice day! :)
It is intentional and rhetorical. :)

Another one from the “drink it up” pile. I didn’t go to bed til almost 2am and was up at 7, so I wanted something strong. I wish I had looked at the description of this before I picked it up. It’s a light Darjeeling, erring more on the floral and fruity side. Not what I’m in the mood for. This cup is more bitter than I expected it would be, and I’m not a Darjeeling fan anyway.
1 bag left in my first box, and a full second box. Still think that will not be nearly enough to last me until next Christmas. My grocery store, which had a full display a few weeks ago, is down to a few Sugar Plum Spices and Nutcracker Sweets, aka the teas no one likes in the holiday collection. And they weren’t even on deep discount yet! Blergh.
Let me know if, in a few months, you need more of this. SInce the CS factory is in Colorado, I am sometimes able to find this tea partway into the year. They never discount them much around here either! I do like Nutcracker Sweet, but it’s gone down in quality over the years.
Left the bag in the entire time I’ve been drinking, and it never gets bitter, just sweeter and sweeter. And with more matcha taste!
The only thing w/ mangosteen I’ve seen is that ubber expensive scam “health” drink. Now this is something I’d actually drink. Although loose leaf would be even better.
wow…a 97? I might have to try this out!
Definitely try it, ladies! I think it was $3 for 30 bags at my grocery store. Stash also sells a loose leaf version online-only, which I think I’m gonna have to order based on my love of this.
Oh yes! I was gonna ask for this in our tea swap, but never mind. I’ll wait to get it loose:)
This is a little too tart to have a true raspberry flavor; I was hoping for something a bit thicker and more jammy, something with the sweetness of a real red raspberry. It’s not a fake raspberry taste, but it’s not great, either. I’d like to try combining this with Adagio’s Cream and see what happens.
If that doesn’t work, this is going in the “to swap” pile.
By the way, Cofftea, I have a running list going of whole or near-whole 1 oz Adagio samples I’d like to swap – I’ll type up and send tonight!
Bethany, I’d love to do a swap but since I have 1400 points banked, I really need to stop obtaining Adagio teas.:)
Haha, understood. I’ll see if I have any non-Adagio stuff I’d like to get rid of.
LOL
Can you tell I give people a lot of gifts from Adagio Jillian? lol:)
Haha, or it’s all those bags of White Cucumbers, you’ve been stocking up :D
lol Ricky. Actually I just have 2. My 8oz and the 1oz my aunt got me for Christmas not knowing I already had it. And my large tin is empty enough that I could combine the 2 so I only have one now:)
I was just thinking this morning how I’ve yet to find an Adagio tea that I like, but the only ones I’ve tried are flavoured blacks. Maybe I should try some greens or whites.
The only flavored black I really love is Valentines; the rest are really hit or miss. If you like straight black tea, their Yunnan Noir and Fujian Black Pearls are both great. For whites, I love their Silver Needle.
Have you tried understeeping it!?
