Currently sipping on this at work! It’s super subtle with the banana which I do enjoy. I wish there was a bit more of the french toast element but with a touch of maple skinny syrup and made into a latte it was super yummy!

Flavors: Banana, Bread, Malt, Vanilla

Hi everyone! It’s been a while, I know. School was really crazy last semester and I didn’t have much time for tea. Right now I’m indulging in some swapped teas and such lately because I’m procrastinating with sipdowns.

I’m so excited about this tea, I always saw it online and I never grabbed it because I was worried it was too similar to pumpkin chai which isn’t my favorite. However, I tried this blend this morning and I am very happy o say that’s not at all what it tastes like. It tastes like a slightly spiced creme brulee which is super nice in this rainy weather in NY today. I definitely will be grabbing more when it comes back around this winter!

Flavors: Caramel, Cream, Spices, Vanilla

I have not browsed the Adagio lineup for way too long. This sounds wonderful.

I REALLY loved this blend, my friend sent it to me in a lovely friend /care package which was super sweet and so so so appreciated. I liked the subtle sweetness, I tend to use a bit less than recommended but I can see where other people are coming from when they’re finding it a bit sweet. I think that it’s super cozy and lovely and it reminds me of Remus Lupin oddly enough. I think he’d love this blend.

Flavors: Apple, Bread, Cinnamon, Cookie, Cream, Creamy, Icing, Maple, Pastries, Spices, Sugar, Vanilla

This tastes like you added a bit of ginger and butterfly pea flowers to Glazed Lemon Loaf by Tazo. It has that lemon cream cakiness with a little bite. The blue color is perfect for Hades too! It was super yummy, I definitely recommend it, the pea flowers don’t leave an after taste with this one it’s all lemon cake with a touch of ginger icing.

Flavors: Cake, Cream, Frosting, Ginger, Lemon, Sugar

Profile

Bio

My name is Gabriella but everyone calls me Gabby! I am a 20-year-old college student living in NY, majoring in History and Elementary Education. In my spare time, I post reviews and little pieces of writing on my blog, read books, play video games, write poetry, and love to cuddle up with my two-year-old hound dog Buddy.
I have interesting tea preferences, to say the least:
Definitely a mood drinker, and I tend to change my preferences often, if I have a bad experience with a specific flavor or tea type I end up avoiding it for a while, then dive back in later. I also prefer my teas plain but will sometimes make lattes.

Flavor Preferences:

Fruit: mainly melon, berry, and apple flavors are my favorites. I’m allergic to pineapple, passionfruit, and kiwi.
Dessert: Almost all flavors dessert-wise are welcome I especially love warm and comforting flavors like caramels, chocolates, cookies/biscuits, crumbles, and muffin.
Floral: I prefer violets, lavender, roses, and mallow flowers. Open to all florals, allergic to dandelions.
Spices: I love lightly spiced blends but some like the infamous Hot Cinnamon Spice is too much for me.
Herbs: My favorites are mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, and sometimes basil.
Favorite Companies:
Harney and Sons
Simpson and Vail
White 2 Tea
Plum Deluxe
Trader Nicks
Friday Afternoon

I love doing swaps and if you’re interested in anything in my cupboard let me know!
