The incredibly generous QuiltGuppy sent me some from her custom blend…and I just added it to my always ongoing shopping cart at Adagio! This blend is bold and strong, and utterly delicious. Now I should say that vanilla and coconut are two of my favorite flavors, and hazelnut is another I love, so of course I would love this blend! :) In each sip I taste a perfect medley of all three flavors. It brews up sweet as well – no sweetener added (not even I did, and I’m the Queen of Sweet). I think folks making the (right!) choice to switch from coffee to tea would like this as it is hearty and bold with a coffee flavor. But anyone who enjoys black tea would love this AM wakeup cuppa. Thanks QG! I am officially hooked!

NOTE: I just realized this was decaf! Had a placebo effect on me, then, waking me up – but still love it just the same!

Just like QG, helping us all get hooked on teas we have not tried… :)

This sounds great aside from the coconut. :(

A fellow Steepster-ite called her a tea pusher. It’s so true! Don’t worry, QG, we still like you. ;)

LOL, now that you mention it… :) I accused her of getting kickbacks from the companies, I hope they appreciate the incredible promotion work she does.
She is a TRUE tea person.

I have to admit that I was surprised at how much I liked this tea, being the self-proclaimed vanilla-hater that I am. I think it comes down to flavoring and how sweetened it is. The three flavors in this one mesh together really well and it’s hard to discern one from the other. I’m glad you liked it! :) It’s decaf because I’ve been having some issues with too much caffeine. I wouldn’t have thought it was decaf either from the flavor. Adagio did a great job in pulling it together.

Bio

Hello fellow tea fans!
I’ve been a tea enthusiast for years but just recently started brewing my own. I’ve created some blends, and enjoy researching about new teas. I combined my love of tea and writing to create a tea-devoted blog, Keen Tea Thyme. I have been writing for most of my life and am a former journalist with a degree in Communications and Social Psychology, and a minor in Writing. Journalism is in my blood, so that means I’m inquisitive by nature, will double-check sources and/or get a second opinion as needed, but also fair and balanced in my reviews. If my reviews seem more positive, energetic and have high ratings, it’s because I love tea. :)

If you are a tea company, I’d love to review some your tea! Free samples are always welcome so I can fully enjoy the freshest selections. I’m also open to tea swaps as I always have too many teas on hand to drink & would love to share with other tea enthusiasts! :)

My Simple Rating Scale (as of Feb. 2011)
>50: I’m NOT a fan. I could barely finish the cup, if I even did. I wouldn’t even recommend this to my worst enemy. Not worth my time nor yours.

51-65: Good aroma, good flavor. Just nothing pops to give the tea that special kick. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

66-79: Yes, finally, tea – unique flavor profiles, great aroma & flavor. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

80-99: These are cupboard essentials – delicious, aromatic and perfect everyday teas. Re-steepable (beyond at least one steeping). Highly recommended, fun for all ages.

100: These are my favorites, the ones I would take with me if stranded on a desert island. Beyond Highly Recommended.
