hey guys…guess what?! I found a tea i like from Adagio. Clearly it’s not a black base tea hahahahaha KallieBoo! sent this my way and i am glad that she did. I really like how the blueberry and orange blend together. I think the only thing that would make this even more tasty yummy for me would be the addition of a teeeeny bit of vanilla :) thanks a bunch kallie!

I was super excited to get this gift set. This one smells the best and actually tastes pretty good for being a herbal. It’s sweet with blueberry and orange. The flavors aren’t too strong and blend quite well.

I’ll split the difference on this – my daughter loved it and I thought it was blah. She got a blueberry muffin flavor from it, whereas to me, it just tasted like vaguely fruity boiled water.

Well, I officially have a cold. Just in time for my interview on Thursday, when I’ll doubtless be unattractively snotty and hopelessly croaky. Is it self-sabotage? Sometimes I wonder. I’m not drinking much tea, anyway, simply because I can’t taste it. I made up another cold-brew for my parents, though, and I sneaked a glass after lunch just to see whether my taste buds really are on holiday or not.

I can taste this, and I actually think the blueberry comes out more cold than it does hot. That’s always a bonus in my book, because I love blueberry. The orange is there, but it’s not as tangy as I remember from my hot cup, and it’s a lot more muted – more of a background flavour than anything.

I’m back at work next week (I’m always ill when I’m on leave, just in case anyone hadn’t noticed before now), so I’ll probably make up some more of this and take it with me.

I also bought more tea, because I’m bad, and also because I just had a shock (that really shouldn’t have been a shock, if I was being honest with myself). It made me feel better for a bit, and then I went back to worrying about my interview again. While unrelated to the shock, it’s equally unpleasant to dwell on.

Ever had one of those weeks you wish would just end?

Thank you Cavocorax for sharing with me. I am getting a lot of the berry flavors from this, specifically the raspberry, and it pairs wonderfully with the green rooibos base. Plus, there is a nice sweetness from the apple. I would actually consider stocking this one as its a pleasant caffeine-free choice for the evenings/night.
