"Consistently good samples of each - my favority is ceylon sonata by far. Recommend this rather than buying large quantities of black."

"It's wonderful to be able to have a selection of black teas to compare, especially for those like me who are new to loose teas."

"I thought I was a lover of black teas because I do love English tea and make quite an effort to drink all the tea I can when in Canada. I was therefore quite surprised to find that I did not find any teas in this sampler that made me sit up and say "howdy" (as my mama used to say). I don't think there's anything wrong with any of them, they just weren't very interesting. I have however found a number of green and oolong teas that I really like. And a I love Adago and the fact that you can get small containers of all kinds of teas to try. "

"Great way to see if you like Adagio's selection of black teas. All of them had a unique edge to them."

"My husband enjoys his Assam and I got this sampler to broaden his taste for black tea. So far he really loves it and he's having fun trying all the varieties of black tea that he never knew about. This is a great sampler for anyone who is new to black tea."
