Imagine being whisked away to a perfumy, fresh apricot orchard... That's the sensation you'll get with your first sip of our delectable Apricot Black tea. Combining the sweet flavor of ripe summer apricots with the tangy bright taste of Ceylon black tea, you can experience it year-round. Soft, mellow mouthfeel, succulent flavor, and balanced astringency.
John McKenna shared that his mushroom kit, featuring pink oysters, is on day 12 and should be ready in a few days.
Others responded positively about mushroom cultivation, with Michelle McGill and Khrissi Satterfield sharing fond memories of pets who enjoyed mushrooms.

Happy birthday to all those celebrating today. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
02:14 am
Got up early to take doggo outside. And, of course, it's raining. :) So, staying up for a few minutes to sip some tea, warm up and dry off before going back to bed. :) Doggo dried off by having zoomies, crunched his breakfast kibble, and is already back in bed. I'm just not as fast as GusGus :) He can see my desk from the bed, so he's under all the blankets starting at me like "Aren't you coming back?" He does not understand that tea can't be rushed :)
03:18 am
Tea rules this household too. I tell my PCA to make herself a tea just as soon as she arrives, and to stop whatever she's doing when it's ready so she can sip it hot. She tells me, hold on, give me a sec. I tell her, nope, tea rules. Go get your tea, whatever else can wait. :D She loves me, but she isn't sure about the tea first rule.
03:37 am
Good morning, everyone! I can't believe it's my last day of Communitea. 😭 My streak of over 1,000 days will soon become 0. I am so blessed to have found this wonderful community and I will miss sipping along with you all so, so much. 🫂❤️ Thank you for being the most amazing and awesome people!
04:31 am
You can keep your chat and visit streaks intact if you pop in and say hello...
05:06 am
That's what I do when I decide it's time for a break.
07:43 am
You can keep your chat and visit streaks alive!
08:08 am
We will miss you Cassidy.
08:13 am
Good morning tea friends. Hope your Monday is the start of a great week.
Alarm set on my phone to remind me to vote daily. You can do this Khrissi! I have shared this to my family and some Non Adagio friends,?
09:07 am
Mary, I misread, i thought you were asking how you could share...i see you already did share! THANK YOU!!! YOU ROCK!
09:15 am
I will vote as soon as it opens up

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Monday! I hope you are all having a great start to your day. I'm so excited to begin a new week...and tomorrow, a new month! But first I'll enjoy the last day of March. God bless and may your day be filled with sunshine and joy! 😇🙏🫖🍪🍵📚🎶😇
07:09 am
Last day of March....how quickly it went.
07:18 am
Won't be able to try it today. I won't be home until late.
07:27 am
Good morning, CommuniTEA! It is also my last day of posting pics, at least for a while. I will still visit and chat, of course! I also would like to try creating more blends in the future. We shall see. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!
07:29 am
Creating blends is fun and addictive....I hope you do so, and I hope you enjoy it even half as much as i do, cuz you'll love it if ya do.
07:32 am
Keep up your blending Angelica. I had a wonderful cup of your Glimmers of San Gimignano https://www.adagio.com/236714 last night and it’s a great mild bedtime chai! I’ll be reviewing it today.
09:03 am
So you're the one, Janet! Thank you!! You're so kind and I'm glad you liked it. I have yet to try it myself, but knowing you approve of it makes me happy.
06:13 pm
Warm, spring-like weather today; time for tea.
07:30 am
Definitely!
08:36 am
It is dance marathon day! I don't have any dance marathons going on around me.... Do you love to dance? I do! I enjoy belly dancing (YouTube taught me) in my pj's as part of my morning routine everyday, and will often shimmy or add sass to my stretching across the day with belly dance moves :) do you practice a certain style of dance, just love to move, or have the coordination of a drunken monkey?
07:37 am
a drunken monkey is probably better coordinated than I.
07:50 am
When I was 4 I danced all the time, so much so my mom enrolled me at a dance studio. I did tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, and some hip hop. My teachers were impressed to see how well I kept up with class and showed willingness to learn so i was then bumped into competitions at age 6. I won quite a few times as first or second place. I excelled at lyrical and contemporary dances, i was ok as a tapper, but horrible as a hip hopper lol. I thrived being the pretty ballerina I always saw as figurines. Until i got older and saw the feet of a pointe type ballerina. Their beauty and grace comes at a price, disfigured and painful feet. As time as gone on there have been improvements in the shoes for pointe but nearly every person ive talked to that had done pointe says they have some kind of pain or numbness with their toes. I haven’t danced since I was in highschool….goodness Id throw my back out trying now 🤣. However, once a dancer always a dancer. I do bob, shimmy and sway when i hear a favorite song, but no full body rock lol.
08:12 am
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss this tea tomorrow! It has been our April Fool's tea for a few years... https://www.adagio.com/189776
08:11 am
Maybe we can make up our own concoction!
09:02 am
I might have a couple of packets tucked away somewhere
11:19 am
I can’t reach the link Ruth, but I think you mean Cursed Tea. https://www.adagio.com/189776 I happen to have a portion packet I must have gotten in a mystery box. I debated sending it to Mary A in the spring card because she said “surprise me!” I decided against it so I will be able to join the CT in enjoying it, if that’s the right word for it!
09:08 am
Thanks! I corrected the link
11:18 am
G'morn all... Enjoyed Apricot iced & blended it with Gemini for Apricot-y & Peach-y yummy vibes! My morning brew, today, is RAJA chai!!
08:32 am
Good morning all. I don’t have today’s tea but I love the Decaf Apricot which is in my stash, so maybe I will close my day with that. I am drinking Like a Rolling Stonefruit https://www.adagio.com/213048 EBeth’s Friend Blend. I absolutely love this coconut forward chai. I have a writing assignment to do before my writing class (focusing on the memoir) in the afternoon. I’m enjoying the class and have been getting positive feedback so far.
09:14 am
I've always wanted to write a memoir...no clue where to start. Perhaps the beginning...but, where is that? Birth? lol. Gosh my earliest memories are of 6 mos old. Very few at that age that I still remember, so I should probably start around age 4? My goodness...maybe a class is in my future.
09:23 am
6 months? I think my earliest might be closer to 6 yrs or older
04:23 pm
I would think the important part would be the purpose of the writing, are you writing to entertain then I would focus on a short period of your life and specific happenings and learnings from that time, but if it's for your family or yourself definitely hitting on all those key points would be matter. Interesting topic and class ideas :)
06:43 pm
Have a great week CommuniTEA 🫖🍵🍃
09:33 am
Love this tea. Not a huge fan of flavored tea but apricot blends well with the natural tea flavor.
Good morning! I hope everyone has a wonderful day ahead!
09:54 am
I would like to try apricot assam black tea. Just to confirm that I think my tea-tastebuds are developing.
10:07 am
Happy Monday tea friends! I hope everyone has a lovely day.
10:31 am
Hello, and a very special happy tuesday morning my dear sweet tea friends. I'm feeling really great and I feel incredible since I did a big time green tea therapy and I have plenty of it. Thanks a million to the friends that inspired me to cheer up and not be a sour puss. (old expression) Ha-ha Being on adagio communiTea is very therapeutic and passes the time when the woodster is doing errands or just being very busy outside or around the house,
10:38 am
Hello, tea-mates: My photo today is a fun way making a single cup of tea with my my infuser island dunker. (that's what it is called) Ha-ha It is just a simple infusers to go inside big glass cups and just sit and then pull it out by the handle. Now it is a sparking silver and shinny but in the photo it is rather pitiful dark color. Ha-ha. enjoy the photo tea friends.
10:45 am
That looks like a great infuser for large mugs. Does the handle get hot?
07:32 pm
it's great and no does not get hot.
09:12 pm
Good morning! I'm sipping today's tea while I finish up planning a surprise family party for my mom on Saturday.
11:01 am
Happy birthday to everyone celebrating today! 🎉🎉🎉
11:04 am
🫖🍵👭👬👫 FRIEND BLEND CORNER: Whilst enjoying our April SPOTlight Winners (as well as the other submissions that you may be trying)... Let's think about our MAY blends! I have a few submissions for MAY already....If you have a blend in mind that you'd like to submit for May, if you haven't already, feel free to comment below!! ⤵️💯🌟
Sorry I’ve been absent from communitea for the past few months. 2025 has not been kind to our families, but there was at least something nice this past weekend. A lot of my longtime communitea friends were gracious about giving me advice on dresses during tea talk when we began on this journey three years ago (😱) and you’ve been waiting for news since then. So…I’m happy to announce that Brian and I FINALLY did a thing! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X60jXaMTV7sLtC0PzuwI0i-fhYHL_Qty/view?usp=drivesdk 😁
12:06 pm
Many Blessings to you both! What a wondrous photo ...glorious dress!
12:22 pm
Thank you Twyla! I agonized over choosing one but the lovely people of communitea helped me to make a decision!
12:44 pm
Dang!...Christine! I'm so Happy and got the fussies...I'm truly Happy for you. Congrats, Girl! Yaaahhoooo! The photo is so sweet and fun and your stunning.
12:23 pm
Thank you so much Woodie! What is yours and Irishman’s secret for a long marriage? I could use the advice!
12:45 pm
Yay! Congratulations! I hope you get a chance to get away and take some time with each other to celebrate soon.
12:30 pm
Thank you Anneke! We decided to wait until it’s warmer for a honeymoon, but I did take a few days off to at least decompress
12:46 pm
Beautiful and elegant!! You both look amazing! Congratulations!
12:58 pm
Thank you Tenise!

Congratulations - that was a lovely dress (and a beautiful bride!).
10:23 pm
To my dear sweet tea friend, Congratulations Christine & Brian..
12:16 pm
Thank you Irishman! I am now officially a part of your clan! Brian is predominantly Irish but the German part of his lineage’s name carried down, so you’d never know it.
12:48 pm
Congratulations, Christine!
12:17 pm
Thank you so much Rebecca!
12:48 pm
Hello, CommuniTEA. If you saw last week, I had been offered a position as a building sub at my favorite school to substitute at. I decided to take it, and today is my "first day."
12:32 pm
Yaaay, How wondrous!! 🌟👍🏼
12:35 pm
Hooray!! I’d put the celebration teamoji but I broke all my streaks lol! I hope you have a wonderful first day and even more wonderful days to come!
12:43 pm
Congratulations!
02:42 pm
Anneke, I hope it all works out well for you.
04:26 pm
Congratulations!!😄
08:02 pm
Congrats on your new job. So exciting!
09:15 pm

Have a great day! 😎
12:39 pm
👫👬👭🍵🫖🌟FRIEND BLEND INQUIRY: What do you guys think of doing MAY's friend blend PICK-A-CARD choosings on Sunday?
12:52 pm
Sure and the woodster and I both will give our votes on Sunday after work. I think we both sent you our nominations for blends.
01:15 pm
i thought you were gonna have us select two and the two highest picked would be the winners...but your way is cool too
01:50 pm
Nay, Khrissi, not this round..as a good amt of people seemed amped for a Pick-A-Card. However, to mix it up and keep it fresh..Perhaps if people wanna vote for blends in June, let's, mayhaps do it that way, then.
01:53 pm
Yes indeed, Irishman & Woodie.. I got your both blends on the list for May ~ Hooray!
01:54 pm
Sundays are my knitting group, so if you wait until 6 or 7 pm your time, so I can vote, then that would work...or maybe Saturday as I have nothing conflicting that day.
01:39 pm
Ok way cool!! Thank you, y`allz, for input. So, this round will also be random. ~ ....Thus, no votes needed. This round is a Pick-A-Card for fun, but no pressure to buy the one you randomly pick-- if its not something you'd fancy. (No pressure to choose or purchase, any at all, really.) Therefore, choose any of the blends submitted that ya want. So, technically...all of our submitted blends will be in the spotlight, this month!! Totally open to suggestions. Maybe for JUNE we can VOTE on two blends to spotlight.
01:48 pm
Sunday sounds good for me.
02:41 pm
Sounds good!
07:10 pm
Sunday is good for me.
10:25 pm
Today's tea was a meh from me. Normally I like fruit flavored teas, but the apricot just didn't do anything for me. Unfortunately due to allergies and headaches I fell off the wagon in terms of drinking the TotD for the past week. So I have an entire week's backlog to work through at some point, several of which I am looking forward to trying.
01:15 pm
The First Flush and Golden Flower are superb, imo!!!
01:51 pm
Apricot fresh and as a jam was usually always a part of the household growing up. My grandmother put apricot jam in her vanilla sandwich cookies. I was the kid that ate peanut butter and apricot jam sandwiches. Fresh apricots in season are a real treat. Crepes with apricot jam are an Austrian tradition for lunch. Apricots stuffed with a sugar cube, breaded with a potato dough and fried are a sweet treat. They are another Austrian dish. Today’s tea is another way to enjoy the delicious apricot flavor.
01:29 pm
I have a sudden craving to try all of these delicious apricot treats!
07:24 pm
Hi, all! Happy Monday! I finally broke down and got a month of CommuniTEA! 🥳 So I will be joining you in April for first time in trying the daily packets. Seemed like a lot of fun.
Apricot sounds wonderful- I didn’t get this months so I’ll have to try it later. I got next month’s so I’ll be able to join you tomorrow😀
02:39 pm
Hello Monday. Time for a nap.
03:21 pm
Debating if I want more caffeine this late in the day or if just a snack will suffice?
03:22 pm
Happy Monday!🫖🌧️
03:58 pm
hello everyone, thank you for the trades yesterday, I do still have 2 more golden flowers if anyone is looking for any, also a maple oolong. Question, I may have asked before but I tried to trade someone months ago and those cards are tagged for trade but I don't know if the person comes on anymore, is there a way for me to cancel, or for me to make those available for trade?
04:14 pm
You can cancel a trade and you can also offer a card in trade to more than one person.
04:43 pm
thank you, its good to know that you can still trade the card to someone else, I dont see a way to cancel, at least not months later.
04:44 pm
actually 1 only see one card now, a samurai mate, the other cards must have been traded.
04:46 pm
I sent you an offer.
04:49 pm
I sent a counter trade, see if that works for you.
I love and adore green tea but help this old man, but I NEED a break from green tea. Ha-Ha Please Trade with me. lol
06:21 pm
My hubby loves green tea as well, I have a few cards if you would like. I made an offer feel free to accept or decline. If there is something out of mine you’d rather prefer (not locked of course) you’re welcome to it. Hubby LOVES gunpowder tea.
06:26 pm
Thank you for the wonderful trade. I sent an offer for you. :) thank again.
06:32 pm
Thank you 😊, enjoy!
06:37 pm
I sent you an offer, feel free to counter or decline.
08:28 pm
I sent you you a couple of offers.
08:42 pm
I 'm sorry, I have to decline on the Lapsang ( I already have one)and anything earl grey. In the near future will love to trade anytime.
09:16 pm
Thanks for the trade. Feel free to look through my cards and see if there are any others you would like to trade your greens for.
08:43 pm
anytime my dear tea friend.
09:05 pm
I sent an offer, feel free to counter or decline of course
I spun and got Vanilla LaVader, but it's not available. I spun again and got Darkside Cookies. Thanks!
08:41 pm
I got Lukewarm 🥰 he is my favorite next to Mara Jade 😉 Thanks!
11:23 pm
Still raining 🌧 😑
07:02 pm
The usual for today's tea: nice enough, not really my thing, but maybe better sweetened. :)
07:08 pm
We tend to agree. 😊
11:34 pm
Anyone else miss the White Tea Of Kings blend after snowbud was discontinued? If so, I think I finally settled on the tea ratio I liked to make a dupe blend! https://www.adagio.com/237063
07:12 pm
Added to WL.

09:25 pm
ATTENTION: All my cards I get will be going out to the spring tea cards friend letters. I will need a variety of tea cards to Trade: I'm still trading and NOW the door is open for everything to trade. I'm kinda new and rusty at trading.. Still trading. and I will even, just now I decided to have some kind of Earl grey and most of you know I will not be drinking Earl grey. lol. LINK:https://www.adagio.com/cards/index.html
09:31 pm
The apricot was great! Loved the smell to it
09:34 pm
We seem to have only one crocus left in the garden but it was blooming today! I gave away some Adagio tea packets at my writing class today. Everyone was happy except a woman who only drinks breakfast teas. I will try to find one for her for next time.
10:04 pm
These early to bed days are killing me - I almost forgot to chat today!
