Our Rooibos Vanilla combines the rich and warm dark sugar aroma of vanilla with mellow and grounding Rooibos herb from South Africa. Soothing, sweet and very 'beany' vanilla fragrance (like warm sugar cookies made with fresh vanilla beans). Naturally caffeine-free!
New semester starts today! Always a bit nerve wracking - fresh start but never know how the class melds.
12:00 am
It's exciting and scary at the same time. Dynamics are so influential on the function of the entire semester. I wish you luck. My semester, after 2.5 days, is shaping up positively. Only one group seems to need some behavior guidance.
07:05 am
Good luck, Bambi!

Good night
12:06 am
This is a fun tea to blend with, but I cannot drink it straight
12:08 am
It would most likely curdle any cream then I guess.
01:10 am
I don't think so, hibiscus is the cream-curdling culprit.
02:40 am
Happy spicy Monday, tea friends! This chai will clear the fog.
12:22 am
Happy Birthday, Ariel and Francesca! Hope it's a wonderful day for you!

It's a beautiful end to a day that I wish could have lasted longer. Both my favorite NFL teams won, Yay Buffalo Bills, yay Washington Commanders. Tea with my SIL, chat time and learning more about Adagio and the page information. Sampling some great tea. Homemade soup makes winter days feel warm. I am waiting for my raging wood stove to settle down so I can rest my head for the night. Sleep well CT.It truly was a lovely day.
01:16 am
Sweet dreams, CT!
01:56 am
Good morning everyone. Today's tea is wayyy too spicy for me 😂
02:06 am
Turn it into a latte. That really helps!
08:41 am
I think it might be really good mixed with sweet cinnamon spice tea but haven't gotten around to trying it that way yet. I don't mind the spice though.

Good night, tea pals! ☕️
02:24 am
Good night~ 😊
02:39 am
Good morning tea pals. Whew Monday already? Better start off the week with a cup of Scottish breakfast. I’ll have today’s tea next.
04:36 am
I made a 4-tea black blend this morning. Yum! Only 3 of the teas are Adagio offerings. The fourth was a Kenyan tea. I do wish all the great teas could be purchased from one place. ;) Spoiled much? I am!!! :)
09:04 am
Almost all of the teas in my stash are from Adagio except some medicinal herbs and Yaupon. Now I'll have to get the Yu Chi Taiwan Assam elsewhere though too.
11:50 am
PS
Good morning! Happy Monday!🫖❄️
05:42 am
Good morning, everyone! This medicine has completely messed up my eating and sleeping schedules. Thankfully, I'm almost done with it so, with any luck, I'll get a normal amount of sleep Wednesday night so I can be ready for our trip. And hopefully I won't need to devour all of New York City before I'm full. 😯
06:05 am
Prednisone?
08:41 am
Yes. 😅 Methylprednisolone to be exact, which is prednisone, but stronger and faster-acting supposedly. They only gave me 4mg so I'm not sure why it's hitting me so hard. 🤣
10:07 am
Have a happy day 😎🫖

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Monday! May your day be the start of a week that brings you every kind of blessing and good thing. God bless and have a super day!😇🙏🫖🍵🎶...
07:12 am
Good morning, Marlicia
08:59 am
Hi, Jean! I hope you're having a terrific day! God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵...
11:12 am
Good morning! Hoping today's tea wakes me up without too much spicy kick. Thinking it's calling to be a tea latte with some oat milk 🤔
07:23 am
Maybe.... I love spice (cinnamon, clove cardamon) but not spice (black pepper and chili peppers) but oat milk may tame it a bit, if I get brave I will try too, after you let me know your results. I ended up not drinking this one last time, after two sips
07:43 am
I almost said no to this blend but then I left it to the chilled room air and as it got cooler it was acceptable. I added some creamer then it was good to go.
08:32 pm
Good morning! I have today's tea in my stash so I'll have to have some later this morning.
07:29 am
Happy Monday!
07:30 am
Happy rubber ducky day! Or rubber duckie day! Either way 😜
07:31 am
Rubber duckies are so adorable.
09:27 am
Happy Monday morning
07:37 am
Good morning! All right, question for you tea latte makers. When you make your lattes, do you add the tea to the frothed milk or the milk to the tea?
08:07 am
For a latte I froth my oatmilk (heat in a pan and whisk) for a tea with cream, I just add milk :)
08:13 am
So, do you pour that frothed milk into a prepared mug of tea? Or add it to the mug first and pour the tea over it?
08:54 am
I add the milk to the tea.
09:13 am
Thank you!
09:51 am
I pour the frothed milk over the tea.
09:23 am
Thank you!
09:51 am
I add the frothed milk to the tea, and it is great if the tea is over steeped as well, as the 'milk' balances it out
10:08 am
Frothed milk over the tea for sure!
10:15 am
Good morning 😊
08:25 am
Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a great start to their week!
08:27 am
Oh Sandra, dear Sandra, it’s your birthday today! With steaming-hot teacups, let us sip-hooray! With a frizzle and frazzle, in seussical way! #
08:43 am
Was able to make it out to Cape Cod National Seashore yesterday. I forgot how nice and peaceful it is in the off-season. Might have to go back this next weekend.
08:57 am
Your photo is beautiful so I'm sure the real thing is even more awesome! :)
09:00 am
Beautiful
09:06 am
Thank you both
08:23 pm
The view is so relaxing. There's nothing like a quiet shoreline to bring my soul such peace.
08:35 pm
Good morning. Love this tea, but then I like all the teas with a bit of a heat kick......I did however add a bit of cream....
09:00 am
Good morning - welcome to the day!
09:03 am
Don't forget to look for the full moon tonight. Moon rise is at 5:13 pm today here in NC
09:06 am
Thanks, Jean. Have a great day!
09:09 am
My hope is clear sky’s here!
09:12 am
Thanks Jean. It was beautiful last night.
09:23 am
I have today's tea in my stash and will have some later.
09:11 am
There are few Adagio and Masters teas I haven't tried. So, for Christmas, I had requested and received some tea samplers offered by other companies. I've found some keepers! As much as I like Adagio and so many of its teas, no one company has a monopoly on great sips. In some cases, I'll drink the new ones on their own but I'll create combos with Adagio teas too. To quote my older nephew when he was younger, "I like new and exciting." LOL
09:15 am
Good morning fellow Adagians. Today’s tea is one spicy chai. I broke open the cardamom pods because I love the taste of cardamom but I don’t think I can taste any. The pepper spice is predominant in this. I’m glad to have it in my stash for every now and then, but I’m looking forward to something else next. I think it will be Vamp, a gift from EBeth. https://www.adagio.com/231177 It is complex and tasty in a completely different way!
09:31 am
Good morning
09:42 am
This is unexpected. Cardamom comes through first and then the peppers make their presence known. I don’t think I’ll be ordering this one but if I try a blend someday this has a bit of inspiration in it.
09:49 am
Just a couple more sleeps until I'm officially 40. Doesn't seem real.
09:49 am
Allyson, don't fear 40, it's a beautiful stage of life. Don't fear 50 either. Agitation and change settles not long after so try and enjoy all you can and then ride it out as so many of us are already doing. It's not so bad.
08:39 pm
Well, I sipped today's tea first as a latte. Now, I've moved on to a more subtle chai. Next up will be some teas to celebrate today's Wolf Moon, including Twyla's Wolf Moon of January blend, later today. https://www.adagio.com/223327
09:51 am
Fantastic Anneke...Thank you flr sipping !!! I hope you enjoy!!!!
09:59 am
Twyla's AstroWeatherVane for the FULL Wolf Moon...🌬🐺🌙🎑 Today, we have a Full Moon in the cardinal water sign Cancer. This sign is ruled by the Moon! With this Full Moon, we have come full circle when it applies to an area of our lives where we have learned lessons via or relations to others ...or understood our own needs, what we require to feel grounded, supported, appreciated & nurtured. This Full Moon time can be about finding stability among the ups and downs of life, in general too. This may include realizing some people can't be in our friendship sphere, on the Path going forward, due to current disparate resonance. This time can be about making boundaries of any type--wherst applicable. Maybe you need some solitude time. https://youtu.be/omQtnkUJzuQ?si=wlxx1p2wgBtdVx5Q ......... ~ If you have found yourself, yesterday and today- with big expansive feels, little nostalgia glimmers, or even your dream time which brings forth echoes & imagery from many moons ago...its all indicitive of this full circle moment of nourishing Cancerian energy!!! ~~~~~~~🌊🌛🌝🌜🌊 ~~~~~Ride the Cosmic Wave, Heal, Feel filled with Remembrance of Joyous times, Spirit UP! & No Fear!
09:53 am
Good morning, tea friends. Our beloved Laddie was disoriented this morning when we got up and did not seem to be able to see. Hubby and I were frantic with worry. I held Laddie on my lap for a good while and he would look in every direction, turning his head a bit constantly. He is okay now. This has never happened before. I don't know if he was having a senior moment that passed or what. We were going to take him to see his vet but since he is doing fine now we will wait until his upcoming appointment the first week in February. It was so upsetting...I had tears streaming down my face and could not talk to my hubby as my throat was closing. He ate his breakfast as usual and went out to do his business as usual and is having no lingering problems. Have any of you ever had anything similar happen with one of your fur babies?
09:58 am
All Love to Laddie, Mary!! Here for Emotional support for you!!!
10:00 am
Twyla, thank you so much. He has been fine the rest of the morning, although he has been sleeping a lot. However, he has been sleeping a lot more now that he is getting older so that is nothing unusual. He is currently sleeping on my lap. Even though I need to get up to wash dishes I am not going to do so until he gets up on his own. I was so scared for him this morning. He is such a big part of our life and we love him so much. Such a funny little fellow.
11:58 am
Yikes, that does seem upsetting! Does his vet take callbacks? Maybe you could at least call the vet in the meantime to see if Laddie should be seen sooner and/or get some kind of input on this incident?
10:14 am
Anneke, we have put in a call to his vet and will take him in if she recommends it.
11:59 am
Oh that must have been frightening. I'm glad he recovered. Can you email or call his vet and ask them if it's something he should be seen for?
11:55 am
Nancy, we called and left a message. We will take him in to see her if she recommends it.
12:00 pm
PM
I’m glad you have a call into the vet, in case you shouldn’t wait to go in❤️🩹
02:12 pm
Paula, our vet is not in until Wednesday but the assistant of another vet at the same facility called us and we told her all the details. She is going to discuss Laddie's situation with the other vet and will get back with us as to what we should do.
03:06 pm
Oh no, I’m so sorry Mary! That sounds so scary. I’d be so upset too. I’m sending you and Laddie lots of love, and praying for a swift vet call and an easy solution.
06:03 pm
Mary, our one dog used to do that after waking suddenly from a deep dream. Often it took him time to focus back on us. We used to just call out his name, almost song like and peaceful until we got his attention. Most times he would slightly sigh and lay there for about 10 minutes, then he'd hit the water bowl hard drinking a lot. Maybe too warm? I never knew.
08:44 pm
I haven't, but can only imagine your concern! Will keep Laddie in my prayers, Mary.
10:21 pm
What a scare Mary! I hope he settles and you don’t see this again.
11:08 pm
Good morning stuck at home because my car wont start. I hope its just a dead battery. I hope to have the battery replace in a couple of days
09:59 am
I haven't had my own car on the road since Dec 11th. Thank goodness for family loaners.
08:45 pm
Good morning!
10:05 am
Good morning, my day has started with some excitement. I returned from a short grocery trip, and upon putting my car in park on my drive I started sliding downhill! Fortunately no traffic coming so I was quickly able to back it onto the road and ease it off onto the yard. Can't wait for the sun to come out and melt some of this ice off later in the day!
10:10 am
More excitement than I would want. Glad you were able to keep everything safe Tee.
11:10 am

10:52 am
9 for me! I do love a good nature walk :)
12:40 pm
Double 9's here!!! I was "3!"
03:14 pm
I picked 2. Interesting, as I'm slowly working on professional development courses to maintain my teaching certificate.
04:24 pm
Sync! How cool!!!!
07:10 pm
I picked 5, I see below that it is "Dancer/Self Expression" I don't think I'm a good dancer but I think adding movement would be very good for me right now. I'm having less joint pain since stopping one of my medications. Now my mind often works as a #2.
06:49 pm
That's right...Some nice movement & music!!!
07:11 pm
Oops, forgot to rate the tea yesterday.
10:53 am
Been working on my cookbook and blanked
10:53 am
been working on mine too!
10:55 am
Good morning! I had Chocolate Truffle again this morning and I'm hoping it's enough to power me through some more studying. This week's readings have inspired me on how to address a certain issue with the high school class. I'm just praying Fr is receptive to my idea in handling it.
10:55 am
Good luck!

Had a lovely bowl of matcha this morning. 😊🍵 it’s been a long time since I’ve had matcha, it was like meeting up with an old friend.
11:11 am
I'm not a match fan, but you inspired me to try one of my teas which has a little matcha in it (although I think the other green tea has the stronger presence). Anyway, it hit the spot, so thanks, Anne. Glad you enjoyed your bowl too! :)
12:21 pm

I’m so glad you had a good tea day! 😊

Sure is! 😍

Nice and spicy, love having peppercorn in chai!
01:00 pm
It’s Bella Luna day! I look forward to having some since I first tried it. I decided to make it a monthly thing and have only missed one or two months since I bought a bag. Today’s tea will be passed along to someone who likes spicy tea. Have a good day everyone!
01:03 pm
Have a good full moon :]
02:52 pm
if you haven't already, be sure to catch the butterfly on the home page! It's magical!
03:12 pm
Do you know the magical word?
03:59 pm
AY
I added rock sugar and half and half.
03:24 pm
Why hello there CommuniTEA!! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! I've never tried Bella Luna, but I'm tempted to add it to my cart. I've got a cart of goodies to order soon utilizing my birthday discount. Very excited to celebrate a milestone birthday in roughly 3 weeks! 🤗 🥳
03:41 pm
I loooooove Bella Luna!!!!
03:46 pm
Bella Luna is so tasty, unless you don't like coconut!
04:57 pm
You won’t regret it Angelica. It’s a wonderful tea.

Good afternoon, friends. I’m afraid today’s tea is not in my stash because I just don’t care for it. I wasn’t able to drink one cup when I tried it the last time it was in a CT box. I have thought about it since and have wondered if it would work as a seasoning when cooking chicken. Has anyone tried that? If so, did you steep the tea. Discard the leaves, and then add it to the pot or pan?
04:10 pm
Jan, I brine my chicken with the tea for overnight. To do that, you need a lot of salt and other brining ingredients. but in that instance, I would brew the tea and let it chill so you don't actually start cooking the chicken in hot liquid. However, I do season without brewing too. Grind it up and use it as a dry ingredient in the breadcrumbs if you intend to bread it.
05:51 pm
JS
Thanks, Khrissi
06:20 pm
Good idea!
10:20 pm
Hope everyone has a good week this week!
04:22 pm
Got some paintings done last night. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.
04:31 pm
Spicy tea today
06:11 pm
I generally like chais, but this is a bit too spicy for me. Not bad, but while I could probably drink others straight (though I prefer chais sweet), I feel like this one really needs the sweetener to cut the spiciness a bit.
06:17 pm
AD
The moon is beautiful tonight!! 🌕✨
07:01 pm
Hey everyone :) Late again! My job is being extra lately. Hope everyone had a great day! I have decided I'm taking Feb off from the CT box...cutting back on the budget a bit. I will be back when I can. I will still post and say hello though. :)
07:16 pm
please keep in touch sweetie.....But I know what you mean. many hugs!
07:21 pm
Totally understandable! We will miss you!
10:20 pm
Understood! I may never drink down the stash even outside of communiTEA proper but still pop in each day too. 🥰
11:59 pm
Well, howdy! I hope everyone had a great day on this special chilly day on this happy Monday, Monday...Monday! LOl When it's cold outside Tea cocoa and spiced teas are soooooooo darn gooooooood...and I just don't stop with one cuppa of tea-enjoyment. big big hugs communiTea!
07:20 pm
TRADE: I have a Maple Creme Oolong card to trade, if anyone is looking for one. I prefer plain black, oolong or Pu'erh teas. Make me an offer!
07:34 pm
Offer made!
08:48 pm
I couldn’t do the heat. If that makes me a wimp then so be it.
07:36 pm

This afternoon I thoroughly enjoyed a cup of Julie’s Saint Nicholas Day. Oh my goodness but the flavors are all expertly blended. I love the chocolate in it which is delicious without covering up the other flavors. If you haven’t tried it, I strongly recommend it. It’s on my list of teas to keep in stock always - that’s how highly I recommend it!
07:41 pm
Started with CAndy Apple today, not really a fan of today's tea
08:34 pm
That’s a great one!
08:36 pm
I'm not either
09:03 pm
Good evening! I've been sipping EG Bella Luna gifted to me by Darnesha. It's now a favorite.
09:07 pm
I'm glad you're enjoying it, Henni!
10:10 pm
The moon is gorgeous tonight! Can't wait for all the planets to line up!
10:30 pm
~18 more sleeps til I’m back in the CT
11:02 pm
Hi all!
11:06 pm
Hi!
11:22 pm
Good bright moon tonight!
11:09 pm
Beautiful moon and Mars was close to it earlier this evening. I will enjoy some Bella Luna in the morning!
11:12 pm
I know I started typing a message a few times today, but never hit enter....happy Wolf moon! 🐺 🌝 I like the pepper spice over ginger spice of a chai, good tea today
11:24 pm
It wasn't very spicy. I was kind of disappointed.
11:26 pm
Putting in my pic at the last possible minute
11:27 pm
