Adagio's ceylon is my go-to plain black tea for when I just want something simple. The flavor of the decaf is very close to the original.

Adagio's apricot tea is one of my favorites, and the flavor of the decaf version is very close to the original.

This is my favorite 'plain' black tea. I keep it in stock for days when I just want something simple.

One of my favorite green teas! Perfect with a hint of honey.

I often think the jasmine flavor in jasmine teas is a little overpowering, but this is very well-balanced.

This is DELICIOUS. I'm a big chocolate tea fan, and this is one of my all-time favorites. It's like a dessert all on its own!
Sep 2nd '20
This variety is great for delicate teas if you want the sweetness of honey without the flavor overpowering the tea.
Sep 2nd '20
Very fun flavor! Almost doesn't need sweetener, but a tiny bit of maple syrup is a fun addition.

I love spiced ice teas, and this might be my favorite. It's perfect for the start of fall, when it's still fairly warm out. I think the flavors come out a bit flat with the overnight steeping method, so I make it as sun tea (steeped in cold water in the sun for 4 hrs).
Sep 2nd '20
A nice, basic tea. However, it is easy to over steep. I recommend steeping no longer than 3.5 min.

The candle itself has a nice chai smell, but the scent doesn't really expand throughout the room as it burns. You have to get very close to be able to smell it.

Love this mug! Good quality ceramic and the design is beautiful. The lid doesn't quite fit snugly with the strainer in place, but that's not a big deal for me. I also like that the strainer is quite large, giving the tea plenty of room to expand without being squeezed.

This is hands down my favorite decaf tea. It tastes just like a full caf blend.

The white berry tea cookies are fantastic. I've ordered them several times, and they never disappoint.

Good quality material and nice color (I ordered green). However, they do run a little small.

I've found my opinion of this tea changes depending on what I blend it with. I don't like it with chocolate tea (there's a cloying aftertaste I don't like), but I love it with raspberry black tea.
Aug 1st '17
A warm, inviting tea. The flavored versions of this are amazing too (I've loved every single one I've tried).
Aug 1st '17
Good, but very mild. It's easy for it to get lost in blends if the other flavors are too strong.
Aug 1st '17
Good, but not as spicy as I thought it would be. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (especially if you're not looking for a lot of spicy heat from your chai). I just find myself needing to REALLY amp up the spice levels if I want to use it to create a spicy blend (extra cinnamon, ginger, added peppercorns, etc.).
Aug 1st '17
One of my favorite teas to use for blending. It's a sure-fire way to make any blend rich and warm tasting with just a hint of sweetness.
Aug 1st '17
Better than I anticipated! I was afraid it would be too sweet and cloying, but it wasn't like that at all. It blends well with the cherry black tea.
Aug 1st '17
Delicious! Juicy and sweet---just like a real mango!
Aug 1st '17
This one is good but can be easily overpowered if you blend it with others, so you may have to use a lot.
Aug 1st '17
Very good. More of a rich flavor than a spicy flavor. Blends well with the chocolate or nut flavored teas.
Aug 1st '17
A wonderful dessert tea and a solid base for complex tea blends. I recommend combining it with strawberry and cream teas---delicious! :)
Aug 1st '17
One of my favorites. Almond-y in a natural way (not like you just poured a bunch of almond extract in your tea). Blends well with other flavors too!
Aug 1st '17
This is a great, basic tea. Not too bitter. Perfect with sugar and milk! :)
Apr 24th '17
One of the better Earl Greys I've had, though it can get bitter if over steeped.
Apr 24th '17
A great, basic vanilla tea. Very natural tasting and easy to use in blends.
Apr 24th '17
Adagios white and black strawberry teas are great for blending. I've used them in several signature blends with great success.
Apr 24th '17
Fun when mixed with other floral teas or even fruit teas.
Apr 24th '17
Delicious on its own or blended with other teas. I like it best with lavender Earl Grey!

As someone who's not super into green teas, I was pleasantly surprised by this blend. I love the smokiness, but it's also light enough that the smoke isn't overpowering.
Jun 4th '16
This is AMAZING. It tastes just like roasted chestnuts. Perfect with cream and a little sugar.
May 31st '16
Super delicious. You can really taste the coconut!
