The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

🌞

Welcoming July and Summer Vibes

The Adagio Teas communiTEA page was bustling with welcome messages for July, excitement about the start of a new month, and summer energy. Many members, including Bambi Hora, Mikayla D, and Debbie, greeted the group with cheerful wishes. Several commented on how quickly the year is passing and discussed activities like painting and favorite teas to start the day.

🎉

Celebrations, Milestones, and Birthdays

A major event was Alyssa's announcement of her first day as an assistant principal, which was met with enthusiastic congratulations and encouragement from many, including Tanya, Anneke Mikulski, and Julie W. The community expressed pride and encouragement for her new role, showcasing the supportive spirit of the group.

Multiple members also wished happy birthdays to Christina and Stephanie, with a flurry of kind messages and celebratory puns. The group enjoyed playful jokes and word games, especially around tea themes.

🍵

Tea Talks and Tasting Notes

Much of the conversation focused on the day’s featured tea, Citrus Mint Green, with members sharing their impressions, cold brew methods, and pairing ideas. Twyla MoonBeam and Anneke Mikulski shared recipes and flavor suggestions, and CJ Carlisle, Rita Gerstheimer, and others offered tasting notes. Some enjoyed the citrus mint blend, while others noted a preference for iced rather than hot tea.

🎁

Rewards, Gifts, and Blends

There was excitement about new items on the rewards page, such as a milk frother and organizer tray, which sparked a discussion about redeeming points. Anneke Mikulski, Ruth Perkins, and others discussed their wishlists and choices, and several mentioned enjoying surprise gifts or blends from fellow communiTEA members, like Mary B’s delight at receiving a custom blend from Twyla MoonBeam.

📝

Participation, Community, and Miscellaneous Fun

Several members discussed their participation in or breaks from the communiTEA box. Farrah K, ArtyJen, and Kathryn McCutchan shared plans to skip one or more months to manage their tea collections, and others chimed in with advice about earning accolades and staying engaged without a subscription.

Meanwhile,age gave updates about her cat Sabby's new clubhouse, delighting others with cute stories. The chat also included shout-outs to international days (Canada Day, International Joke Day, etc.), exchanges about creative ice cream flavors, and ongoing support for community members having both good and challenging days.

💬

Evening Reflections and Community Support

The conversation concluded with nighttime farewells, people sharing their evening tea routines, and continued warmth and encouragement for those not feeling well, like Ottum Raabe. Overall, the group’s supportive, playful, and welcoming atmosphere was clear throughout the day’s lively conversation.

Welcome to July!

How did we get here already??

08:38 am

I keep thinking the same thing!! Wasn't it just like....CHristmas? And now it's July 4th already....yikes!

11:46 pm

Those fawns are beautiful John!

12:05 am

Very beautiful. A treat to see.

Shark time

12:05 am

happy new fiscal year (for anyone else starting a new fiscal year)!

12:16 am

The same to you! I just found out we left $5.03 on the table last year - hope they don’t cut me that this year.

12:20 am

Kathryn, I have a smaller frog like yours. I love it.

12:19 am

I like how each size has its own croaking sound.

12:26 am

Two fawns in my front yard enjoying the day, saw them shortly after I got home from work, they love the tall wet grass.

12:25 am

Happy July 1st!

12:30 am

Just checked out the rewards page. 3 new things I hadn't noticed before - a milk frother, an organizer tray and a sweet tooth staples bundle pack. Happy July. 1 and sweet dreams, tea friends!

12:38 am

Oh neat! I'm gonna have to check that out!

03:01 am

I've been eyeing that organizer tray on Selefina for nearly a year now, so it's very tempting to cash in some points for it. On the flip side, I'm also tempted to save points so I can try the sweet tooth staples bundle!

09:24 am

That organizer tray has been in my cart for a long time...

06:09 am

Good morning! I'm going to try today's tea iced.

06:12 am

Way 2 go! Such a good iced tea! I love to add Fennel or Tarragon to it, too...

10:09 am

Morning

06:33 am

It's July! 🥳

06:36 am

Holy Moley we had some wicked storms last night! Better make some tea

06:40 am

Happy international joke day, American zoo day, Blink 182 day, Canada day, Early Bird day, Chicken wing day, International Reggae day, Creative Ice cream flavor day, Gingersnap day, Postal workers day, second half the year day, zip code day, and postage stamp day!

06:49 am

I happen to be going to the zoo today and purchasing an annual family and friends membership, so I’ll be celebrating!

07:16 am

Mmm, gingersnap and wing day. Yummy.

07:24 am

I guess we're going to have to go get wings tonight!

08:22 am

Yes, hmm, maybe I should be rethinking my dinner plan tonight. 😅

08:26 am

Creative Ice Cream flavor, huh? What's the most creative ice cream flavor you've ever had?

08:27 am

I have not had it, but I have seen maple bacon ice cream :)

09:37 am

That's a tough one, I love ice cream and will try just about any flavor. I went to the Gilroy garlic festival years ago and tried garlic ice cream, it was pretty good. I've made caramel corn ice cream that was really good. I also tried a wasabi ice cream that didn't have enough wasabi in it, so it tasted like vanilla.

09:55 am

Sweet corn - it was delicious!

01:31 pm

Diner shake. It had French fries. French fries cold and non-crispy are no good.

04:41 pm

I think I will choose postal workers day. I have such a wonderful mail carrier. She and I have bonded over books and have become good friends. She is so good to hubby and me.

09:40 am

How about combine two and have ginger snap ice cream?

04:41 pm

Don’t be chai all you tea-rrific teaople! In honor of joke day share your best tea jokes and puns! Punchlines can overlap, so don’t think oolong about it! Let’s get the par-tea started!

06:52 am

This is a word game of which I don't have master-tea. 😉

08:28 am

It didn't take me oolong to figure out the pun there! ;)

10:21 am

I am going to leaf it to others...

09:41 am

#groan! That was Tea-rrible!

10:20 am

Good morning! I can’t believe it’s July already

07:11 am

A nice green to honor the greens of Wimbledon?

07:43 am

Happy July! ❤️🤍💙

08:17 am

Already???? Lol Have a great TEA day, Karen. :)

08:25 am

You too Woodie 🫖

09:15 pm

Oh, Christina, oh my, on this birthday, in tea / With a sip and a cheer, happy birthday from me / In a mug or a cup, watch the leaves twirl and play / It's your tea-day, hooray, sip and hooray! #

08:23 am

Hard to believe June flew by so quickly. I missed a few specials that ended June 30th. Oops. 😬

08:24 am

Yyaaaahhhooooo!!!!! Hi-Ya, Tee-Peeps! How in the name of some bright and minty tea on this Happy Tuesday! I'm Living the Tea Dream dear Tea Pals. YYYYyaaaaaaahhhhhhhooooooo! :)

08:29 am

Goooooood Morning!

08:33 am

Welcome July!

08:40 am

Good morning! I have half a pitcher of peppermint and white peony iced tea in the refrigerator, so I'll sip that in solidarity with you today. Right now, it's a cup of Ruth's Creamy British Dawn, one of my June/July Friend Blends.

08:41 am

Peppermint white peony?? Ooh. What ratio of peppermint to white do you use, and how is it?

08:58 am

I tend to use about a 50/50 mix. In one of Adagio's iced tea pitchers (https://www.adagio.com/teaware/airtight_pitcher_sky.html), I mix 4 rounded to heaping teaspoons (https://www.adagio.com/teaware/tea_spoon.html) each of white peony and peppermint. It's a little strong on the peppermint, but the white peony cuts it nicely. Others might prefer more white peony and less peppermint.

09:22 am

I too had Creamy British Dawn and agree it was delightful! Great job Ruth.

10:32 am

Good morning everyone! I'm currently drinking one of the first fandom blends I ever tried: The Cat Returns!

08:43 am

Good morning!! I can't believe it's July already! :) I can finally post photos again! Yay!! Having coffee first...then will sip today's tea. My photo today is a paint by number project I started at a library class. The librarian didn't realize the canvases were going to be 16 x 20 when she bought them so we all took them home to complete them. Took me a month of painting here and there after work. So much fun -- and really really has me looking forward to Halloween!! Hmmm....I might just start spooky season reading extra early this year! :)

08:57 am

JULIE!!!! I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!!!💜👻💜 Please tell me you named your new friend!!!

11:49 pm

hi-ya Diamond Gurhl! Gooooood morning my dear friend from good ole Pennsylvania. Sent message.! :)

09:13 am

Messaged ye back! ....G'morn from Thunderstorm-y NEPA, on this JULY day!!

09:51 am

Good morning, all! I'm hoping today's tea gives me the energy to tackle some tasks I'm not looking forward to today. It is always tough when you want to wake up with a "can-do" attitude but instead wake up with executive dysfunction!

09:14 am

Rabbit Rabbit!

Michelle M, your artwork today takes me back to my childhood in Illinois. We had dandelions in our yard (our house was on an acre), and when I was a wee lass my Dad would give me a penny for every dandelion head I would gather. Such a lovely memory. We don't have dandelions in Florida, or at least not around where I live, so it was great to revisit my childhood home through your beautiful painting. Thank you.

09:36 am

Mary, I'm so glad it brought back happy memories. We used to have dandelions in the yard when we actually had grass. We haven't had that in years now thanks to the seemingly never-ending California drought and the cost of water. I rather miss them along with the little Toadstool rings that we'd have sometimes too. Or is my mother referred to them fairy rings. It's nice to have things bring back happy memories. Have a wonderful day my friend.

07:41 pm

I hope your day has gone well, Michelle. Your beautiful artwork makes me smile each and every day.

07:46 pm

July already! Where has this year gone?

09:43 am

Happy birthday, Christina!

I Finished the 3oz bag (that I had for awhile...its not something that I always reach for, but I go on kicks with it.).... And I love today's Citrus Mint Green. Especially ICED..omgee..Its so good! I will be brewing & icing today's packet, later on in the week.

Oh my gosh!! It is Christmas in July. I just received a package from Adagio...and not one I ordered. Twyla crafted a blend especially for me...Mary B's Woodland Stroll...and sent some to me. It has a divine scent and is gorgeous! I can hardly wait until lunch to sip my first cup. I know I am going to love it. I mean Assam Melody, Forest Berries and Decaf Blueberry with apricots, blueberries and strawberries...my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Hugs, hugs and hugs to Twyla. I will tell you all about it after my first cuppa. Here is the link. https://www.adagio.com/236254

10:23 am

What a sweet, thoughtful gift, Twyla. Enjoy, Mary. Sweet surprise.

10:38 am

Paula, Twyla is such an amazing tea friend. I need to mention the glorious artwork on the tin too...she knows I love to walk and has captured the blue sky shining through all of the beautiful trees in our neighborhood.

11:27 am

Looking forward to hear how you like it, brewed up!!!!

11:09 am

I am in love!

07:47 pm

Oh that sounds delicious!

07:42 pm

Michelle, it is a lovely blend.

07:47 pm

Happy Canada Day if it applies to anyone, I do have a tiny bit of Canada in my ancestry

10:24 am

I spy a party hat! Wishing you a very special day Christina as you celebrate your birthday. Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Ok, tea gang. If you love a deep, rich base upon which fruit can play, I encourage you to try Mary B's Forest Stroll. Twyla has made so many blends that I love. However, I do believe she outdid herself on this one, and I am so honored to have my name on it. Hubby is going nutso over it too. It is tea perfection...fruity and yet not so much that it overpowers that deep, rich flavor of the tea. This tea is going to be a staple here and will be enjoyed often. YUMMY! Christmas in July. https://www.adagio.com/236254

11:31 am

Forest Berry Besties!!! Cheers!!!! 🫐🌳🫖🍵

11:35 am

Forest Berry Buddies Forever!

04:17 pm

It sounds delicious and I added it to my wishlist.

02:03 pm

Tanya, I am so excited you are going to try it. I don't think you will be disappointed. It is a lovely balance between the rich flavor of tea and the bright taste of the fruit.

04:19 pm

Cool card, just flipped a sample of Faruzan by Ainajiya look forward to trying it https://www.adagio.com/210335

11:43 am

That looks unique! I love flipping Blend cards! Its so rare!

12:52 pm

I did notice it had your old buddy hibiscus in there though.

05:15 pm

True that John, but it's worth a try, sometimes it's not overpowering

09:10 pm

Today is starting out rough, hoping it turns around.

11:52 am

Hope the rest of your day is good.

12:11 pm

Keep your chin up Cas!

01:54 pm

Well I hate to say it, but I have decided to take July, maybe August, off from the CommuniTea box. I really need to DDTS and want to be ready for all the yummy fall, Halloween and Holiday tea. Plus my family hasn't been drinking as much tea to help me out so I really need to take at least a 1 month break before my cupboard (and backup cupboard) runneth over. Curious, will I still be able to post pics and get accolades if I didn't buy the box? Whelp, hit refresh and answered my own question. I no longer have the ability to post a pic or write a review. But it seems that I still have access to chat so I will pop in and say hi to keep up with everyone!

12:13 pm

I think the photo part is contingent on buying the box unfortunately.

12:17 pm

Yes, Bummertown.

12:51 pm

you can like photos and still get points. And you get points for a daily post to chat. But can't post photos or do the daily tea review without a box. :) I learned this when I took a break to DDTS this spring :)

12:31 pm

I'm the same, taking the July and August box off and hopefully coming back in for Fall flavors! :)

12:44 pm

Yummy Fall Flavzzzz!!! Aug looks good.. I am still going strong!

12:52 pm

I’m taking August off. I need to DDTS also. Tea has a sneaky way hopping in the cart. (Especially when they put samples at 1/2 price)

01:28 pm

You can earn up to 5 accolades a day if you don’t have the box. Chat, like a photo, login all get something. You also can turn a new card every week.

01:56 pm

Good afternoon everyone! Time for a tea break ☕️🫖

01:45 pm

This is a nice green tea. The aroma is pleasant with some citrus notes coming through. A really nice flavor rolls across the tongue. This is one green tea I could do again for sure.

01:58 pm

Today’s tea makes a refreshing summer cold brew.

02:05 pm

BTW... tomorrow's tea is really good with White Blueberry or Blueberry tea, decaf or non...

03:09 pm

It is a toasty Tuesday

04:26 pm

Happy birthday, Stephanie! 🎊🫖☕️🥳

04:37 pm

Saw a cardinal in the garden today but my phone was charging. Today's tea is one of my sister's favorites.

05:25 pm

Happy birthday, Christine!

05:28 pm

Today's tea seems OK. I think I get much more mint than citrus though. I'm not that big on greens either. Nice for a change, but not really my thing.

06:53 pm

Twyla, your blend, Mary B's Woodland Stroll, is such a hit here. Hubby makes tea in the evening and can drink caffeine before bed (I cannot). He headed right for the Woodland Stroll tonight. I am glad Laddie doesn't drink tea or it might be gone before I can get a second cup!

07:50 pm

Oh is that right, Mary! That is too great! I too cannot have caffeinated hot tea, late in the day....

08:52 pm

Mint isn't my favorite, but I'm excited for a month of a bunch of teas, ideal for cold brew

08:05 pm

Most def! 🧊

08:51 pm

I got a sample of this one of the mystery boxes I ordered once. Lovely!

08:41 pm

Love a good mystery box! What else did you get?

09:03 pm

I usually like citrus with mint quite a bit, but I think I will need to try this one iced to like it. When drinking it hot I felt like it hit too many flavor notes that reminded me of sleepytime teas which I am just not a fan of. Though I do think maybe I am coming around a little as some friend blends that have included chamomile have been pretty good.

09:11 pm

Lots of tea I'm looking forward to in this month's box!

09:40 pm

So Happy that Zhejiang Green is in this box. My fav Green!

10:09 pm

Good evening all! I’m trying not to lose my chat streak. I just had a delicious cup of Chicoriccino. I’m so happy I restocked my stash with some.

10:08 pm

Today’s Citrus Mint Green iced hits the spot on a hot summer day.

10:49 pm

Still feeling icky, now my lymph nodes are swollen on the left side of my neck…dr appointment tomorrow. Today’s tea went to hubby, as Im not a fan of most green teas ( there are exceptions though ). He sipped it down to the last drop. Hope y’all have a good night.

10:54 pm

Hope you're feeling better soon, Ottum!

11:56 pm

Good tea today

10:57 pm

Just beat one of my favorite games again after losing my 3DS for some years

11:04 pm

I hope everyone has a great night! 💤

11:05 pm

I forgot my tea strainer!

11:21 pm

I never did get to sip today's tea. I have today's and tomorrow's tea cold brewing in the fridge (separately) :) I will sip both tomorrow! Tomorrow is my last work day this week -- so glad....I need a break! Long weekend! yay!

11:50 pm

Happy Birthday Christina!💜
