Le Voyage de La Lune is a 1902 film by Georges Méliès. One of the first science fiction films that follows a group of astronomers who visit the moon, where they encounter several strange sights and unfriendly aliens before returning home. It also features the iconic shot of the Man in the Moon with a rocket in his eye. Méliès is known for his pioneering special effects in film and was featured in the award-winning book and novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret. We think our tea is out of this world too, but no promises on the aliens.

This might be a ridiculous question, but the 'natural creme flavor' makes this non-vegan, correct? This was my favorite black tea, but I've gone vegan so I think I'll have to find a different Earl Grey!

I just brewed the first cup from a new bag (received 4/2017), and... it's different. It's got a coconut flavor, I think? Something like that. This has been my daily tea for years now, and this batch is not the same as usual. Has anyone else noticed this?
Asked by Ann Scranton
on May 7th, 2017
“ Might you have accidentally gotten the Earl Grey Bella Luna instead of the Moonlight? You should be able to see the difference, in that the former has pieces of coconut in it, while the latter has the small bits of orange peel. ”

I'm fairly new to tea, but every time I brew this is turns bitter. I like to steep mine 3 to 5 minutes, but am I steeping it too long? Is the temperature (212) too high? How can I keep it from becoming too bitter without adding sugar?
Asked by scathach ASW
on May 2nd, 2018
“ Adding a bit of milk will help with the bitterness. The tannins in tea are responsible for its astringency, but, if you add milk, the tannins will bind to the milk proteins, making the tea less bitter. ”
Answered by Sarah Immel
on May 16th, 2018
“ You may wish to try using slightly less tea, or shortening your steep time. Many black teas have the astringency you describe! Honey is the recommended sweetener should you wish! ”

“ You can steep black teas more than once and I find the second and third brews to be less astringent than the first, and much more palatable! ”
Answered by Sarah Ferguson
on February 16th, 2020
“ You can also perfume the tea a bit before hand. Let it sit in a small bit of brew water for ~20 seconds, pour that out then steep it. Helps wake up the leaves and I find it helps reduce the astringency. ”

How many steepings can you get with this for a 16-oz steeper. 2 teaspoons. We have just found this company and are trying to figure out the number of steepings compared to our old tea company.

Is there a way to find out how much caffeine is in one cup of this tea if brewed according to directions? I love strong black tea but have to watch my caffeine intake for health reasons.
Asked by George Castro
on March 7th, 2018
“ Hi George - an 8oz serving of this tea will have about 60-75 mg of caffeine. For reference, the same serving size of black coffee contains 125-150mg. ”
Answered by Adagio Teas
on March 9th, 2018
“ Thank you for asking, George, and to Adagio Customer Support for answering! To add on to that, is there anywhere on the site where caffeine mg/8oz serving is listed for each blend? I'd love to be able to look this up for other teas as needed! ”
