In recent years, blueberries have garnered much attention as a nutrient powerhouse. This may be so, but to us, they are delicious little jewels that shine in our lightly fruity, caffeine-free green rooibos. We've added blueberries, cranberries, rosehips, hibiscus and raspberry leaves for a tasty, berry-licious treat.
Made it through another long day. Now for dinner and crashing. Have to get up early tomorrow for a meeting. Bleh.

Thank you, Rebecca, for posting that article yesterday. I just finished reading it and found it very enjoyable. 🫖
12:15 am
You're welcome. I enjoyed knowing that someone else thinks our little CommuniTea is special too. Perhaps we'll gain a few more tea friends as well. If anyone else wants to read it...https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/best-tea-subscription-box/
07:31 am
Rebecca, thank you for reposting. I missed it yesterday. An article like that, is how I found Adagio originally. And at one time I had subscriptions to all five of the services listed there plus a couple more. Currently, I still have three different subscriptions for tea and a couple for art supplies so I guess I'm a subscription addict. It's a great way to try new products that you might not otherwise buy. And our CommuniTea is a very special place, it's really my first foray into social media, and what I loved about it the most is how kind and lovely everyone is. None of the snarkiness often found on the general purpose platforms. I suppose it depends upon a person's interest but I found that tea lovers and artists are really wonderful people.
10:58 am
This is great. I accidentally stumbled onto adagio and am extremely thrilled I did. The fact they have a daily offering is something that really sold this company for me. I looked online to see if there were others like it and found none. This community has been great and the ability to taste so many different teas is sublime. The only con I have is that I have no self control and I have at least 2000 savings of tea in my home because I love the teas so much. It's also been really fun sharing boxes with others and seeing what they think. So far I've shared the monthly boxes with my mom, physical therapist, and a friend going through a difficult time. It's a blessing to see all the joy that they have felt with their teas.
02:06 pm
Oh that’s so neat. Thanks for reposting, I missed it yesterday too. I feel so seen! lol

Wonderful, Dorothy! So exciting to watch your children grow and experience the same things we did at their same age.
01:40 am
How sweet! Have a great time together before she goes. Would love to see a picture of you two.
06:02 am
I'm sure that's exciting and probably somewhat saddening, too.

Oh my! How fast they grow up. I hope she makes some glorious memories.

Have a good Friday, tea friends! It's starting to feel like the weekend already.

Why do aliens always spill their tea? Because they have flying saucers 👽
08:54 am
It is also Audubon day, so go watch, sketch, or photograph some of those birds we love! After that you can learn about hairballs, for hairball awareness day OR plant a tree for arbor day!
05:56 am
Is it really Audubon day? I didn't know there was such a thing. I love birds and we've got a lot around us. I'll try to take special note of them when I'm out and about. I think I'll pass on learning about hairballs, LOL...we don't have any cats. God bless....😇😇😇

Happy Friday, oh ye lovers of tea. I hope you are hanging in there and ready for weekend frolics. Hubby and I will be staying in today as he still needs to keep out of the sun, so it will be a bit of cooking and cleaning for me. Our day will start with Autumn Darjeeling for hubby and Apricot with a bit of Fiery Cinnamon Spice for me. Laddie says he will have his usual...a lovely bowl of fresh water and his special Aging Brain kibbles. He would like to know...what's in your bowl?
06:58 am
Good morning, Mary. Happy Friday. Every once in a while it's nice to have a stay-in day, although I'm sorry if it's not completely voluntary. I hope your husband is able to get out soon. In the meantime, it sounds like you have a nice, productive, day planned, with delicious tea to kick it off. Tell Laddie I have Ginger Pumpkin bread in my bowl (and Chocolate Mocha Tea for Ze Little Grey Cells in my cup, LOL). https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=93116 God bless and have a super day. 🫖🍵📖🎶🙏🌞😇
07:26 am
Laddie says the Ginger Pumpkin Bread sounds fantastic, and he's all for increasing ze little grey cells (hence his aging brain kibbles). He sends puppy kisses and tail wags.

Autumn Mist Green in my cup. My bowl is empty until after my first shift.
08:13 am
Paula, Laddie loves to sniff Autumn Mist Green, but he is very concerned about your empty bowl. He hopes it is filled soon.
09:13 am
PM
Mary, tell Laddie not to worry. I never eat before my first shift. During my break between shifts I ate an egg and enjoyed two cups of Casablanca Mint tea with it. Now, back to work. I have more cold-brewed Autumn Mist Green waiting for me there. I brought it in this morning. All is well, Laddie. Good boy 🐕
02:18 pm
He's so glad you had more Autumn Mist Green. It is one of his favorites!

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Friday! I hope your day and weekend are off to a great start. Today's tea seemed familiar, so I checked the reviews. Apparently, I enjoyed it. 😇 I hope you do also. God bless and have a super day! 😇🌞🙏🎶📖🍵🫖😇
07:19 am
Good morning Marlicia. I really like today’s tea also. Green rooibos is a great base for fruity flavors.
07:39 am
I've only had it once, but I agree that it is quite good and Green Rooibos does seem to be a good base for fruity flavors. God bless and have a wonderful day, Nancy...😇🫖🍵📖🎶🙏🌞😇

It is sublime. If you add cream it tastes like blueberry pie a la mode. Yum!!!

Good morning everyone!!!

I am going to hold today's tea until late afternoon and go with cocoamint green this morning as it's been an interesting am! The cat we adopted last week is starting to show his personality. And his personality is to go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at 5 am if his plate is empty. He was in a foster home before for a while and had been hand fed with his siblings at the vet as they were found bagged up at like 3 weeks on the side of the road. Thankfully, someone stopped! The stories these rescues have are astounding to me. I worry when I don't feed them on time and you have people shoving them in bags. UGh.
08:44 am
Happy Friday!! Really enjoy today’s tea for a non-caffeinated sip in the evenings.
09:21 am
Good morning! In honor of allergy season, it seems appropriate to share today's calendar fact: "You can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run."
09:29 am
Yep this time of year is awful 😪 I just saw my allergist on Tuesday and he sent me in prescriptions for a ton of meds and strongly encouraged me to get shots again. They sound like such a pain for the first 3-5 years, but I wonder if they are as good as he says they are after. Here goes the research. He sent me home with 11 full pages of research on them so I could get correct information on them.
02:19 pm
Oh, I've been meaning to ask. What's your favorite Tea Talk countdown gif? I think I'm partial to the David Tennent one, though I like the Beatles one, too.
09:33 am

12:03 pm
Good morning! Sitting at my desk straining milk kefir and sipping a cuppa Yunnan Jig with lemon (used up the very last of my YJ stash and added it to the reorder list). I think this is a great time for a State of the Stash post! My fellow Tealovers -- DDTS (Drink Down the Stash) is working!! Several of my PBTs (plain black teas) need to be reordered: Assam Harmony, Keemun Rhapsody, and Yunnan Jig are all gone. And I have like 2 tsp of Tie Quan Yin Black left....but only sample packets available on the master's site. Hope it comes back in stock soon!! On the flavored side, I have used up about half of my ponderous stash of chestnut tea. Going to keep cold brewing chestnut as it's delicious and will use up that older tea so I can restock with new. I am continuing to sip down my Christmas season tins of Cranberry, Candy Cane and Gingerbread to refill tins with fresh tea. I need to reorder Pu'erh Tahiti and decaf blueberry....all gone! And, alas, due to a Tea Mishap (don't you hate those!!!), I need to reorder Campfire S'mores. I dropped my tin and it spilled on the floor....luckily there wasn't much left. For Herbals, I have Berry Cream Compote on my next order. The tin is getting sparse! Next phase of DDTS is to sip down my fandom tins and start refilling them with fresh tea. I order the big tins of my favs.....but I forget to rotate my tins and forget I have some great teas in my tea cabinet! Some I have been putting off drinking because the fandom was discontinued for one reason or another.....trying out replacement blends of my own to refill those tins. That's the State of the Stash -- July will make the start of Year 3 on my efforts to keep my tea stash in order and fresh :) When I moved to CO in 2022, I had so much tea it filled up a shelf, my tea cabinet and my two large desk drawers, plus part of a kitchen cabinet. All my tea now fits on the tea shelf and my tea/coffee bar cabinet. It's sorted by type, and I keep track of what I have and what needs to be re-ordered. I have a lot of tea, and I will always have a lot of tea. :) But the large stash is SO much better when I know what I have, where it is, and how old the tea is. So much better! Progress has been made!! More to come!
09:42 am
Brilliant, Julie! Well done!
10:27 am
I'm working on it! :) Been a work in progress for a long time! ha ha :)
03:54 pm
I love the feeling of emptying one tin and refilling it with tea in bags. I need to do more DDTS of the Christmas small tins.
11:42 am
Your DDTS updates are always an inspiration to go through my own tea cabinet for anything that might be neglected. I always look forward to them!
11:48 am
Ufff. I don't dare try to list the teas I have. Noone would want to spend the crazy amount of time reading them. For the sake of prosperity I'll count them quick. I have 7 of the 1# bags, 27 of the 3 Oz bags, 70 sample bags 116 single serves, 6 sampletins, 3 april boxes, 4 may boxes, 8 of the 2 Oz whole bean coffee, 1 pour over coffee, 17 selifina. I have a problem
02:37 pm
oh my....no way I'm counting mine. I want to be able to self enable myself so that I can buy new tea when I want to. :) If I counted, I might have to rethink my choices. :) I will just say I have a full herd of tea :)
03:49 pm
Not counting the single serve that come in the Communitea, I have 168 bags/tins of tea! Yikes!
04:11 pm
At least you’re not alone Rissa! I have slightly over 200 different kinds of tea in small to large tins or envelopes, and I’m definitely not counting the single serving packets. I take them when I travel.

Happy Friday! I like blueberry and will be adding today's tea to my cart for iced tea this summer. I like green rooibos and I hope Adagio keeps coming up with more delicious options. Which green rooibos blend is your favorite? I haven't tried them all, but Cranberry Cream from Frosty's Faves was delicious and needs to be available again! Cheers 🫖🍵🍃
10:15 am
Today's tea is amazing 🤗
02:40 pm
Agreed! So good!

Citron green rooibos is a fav too!

Twyla, there is just something so appealing and heartwarming about your photo today. Perhaps I can almost relate to that sweet little old lady at the stove, except you'd never catch me in a dress. 👖🩳👕It's a wonderful image, thank you for sharing!
10:53 am
Thanks for sharing, Michelle. ((I, too, have stopped wearing dresses--over the past 4 or so years.)) Yes... I felt such a connection and such comfort to that artwork. It seems such home-y and inviting scene...
10:58 am
Twyla, in spite of my rubenesque figure, I just can't beat the comfort of yoga pants. It's funny, my mom never wore pants in her life, she'd even putter out in her garden in dresses, and they were always pretty things no mumus for her. Even in our mild climate I don't think I'd like having cold air blowing around my legs. Yes that artwork is very homey and inviting, I wish I could pop over for a bowl of whatever she has cooking.
11:06 am
I wear dresses in the winter. I like to throw on leggings under them. I even have fleece lined leggings for those extra cold days!
06:23 pm
I love it, too! I also love that the kitchen looks like an actual kitchen, where real people live and cook. I see all these spotless kitchens with empty counters online and sometimes forget the beauty of my own homey kitchen, with spices on the back of the stove and mismatched towels, just like the painting.
11:47 am
a few years ago I had an FBI agent come to my house to ask me a few questions about a friend that was applying for a job that required a security clearance. Our house is a modest house built in the 1950's. He came in and sat down at the table and said that he loved our house. It reminded him of his grandmothers house and her house always felt 'homey'. That was the best way someone could describe our little home.
12:56 pm
You guys have me wanting to move sooo bad!!! We are looking at a 3 bedroom 3.5 bath (one of which has a jacuzzi, beautiful new kitchen with new appliances, new washer and dryer, new cabinets, new roof as of September last year, outdoor heated shed, large deck and spacious and open kitchen and livingroom home on Thursday. I'm so excited!!! I have only seen the outside. It's light blue and pictures of every room so far. It's beautiful.
02:48 pm
I love the photo too! I love the crow perched on the pot on the stove with the sprig of wheat in its beak and the honey bear bottle filled with honey. But most of all, doesn’t that dog in the painting remind you of Nancy’s dog Harley?
04:16 pm
He does!
04:22 pm
It's a cold and rainy morning here. Started with a cup of pumpkin spice with pumpkin spice honey. Now sipping Alyssa's GD Delight https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=214457
Delicious!
11:47 am
That looks really good. I'm going to have to put that on my wish list for after I drink down some of my stash. I have a 3 once bag of honeybush pumpkin chai that I've been enjoying lately. Yum yum
02:51 pm

Tea Talk time! :)
12:05 pm
Good morning! Wish I could get on the tea talk today! Just hopping in for a moment. Fortifying with Mango black this morning. So yummy! Going to try today’s tea later. Have an amazing day, y’all.
12:09 pm
Yum!!! I missed it today 2. I got busy packing and it slipped my mind. I just ordered a bag of mango black that is supposed to get here tomorrow myself. I loved it the other day when we had it for ct and I'm excited to try it iced as well as hot this time.

Happy Friday tea friends! I drank up the bag of today’s tea that I had a while ago. I have it on the list for when the stash is lower. I will have the tea this evening. I feel like Lady Raspberry for lunch.
12:22 pm
Haven't tried today's tea yet, will try it when I get home- needed the caffeine for work! But to mention something from yesterday, yes! Purple tea is delicious, I had a purple oolong the other week and it was amazing.
01:00 pm
That sounds truly awesome
01:17 pm
What is purple tea?
06:41 pm
Sorry I missed Tea Talk, it was a busy morning. ❤️
01:34 pm
Same here. I got 2 busy packing I completely forgot about it
02:55 pm
Relaxing day for a good tea.
02:19 pm
I missed tea talk too.....our silly smoke/carbon monoxide detector started beeping and we didn't have any 9 Volt batteries in the house. Every other silly kind....but not the right ones to stop the horrible beep.....30 seconds....beep....30 seconds....beep. And it was scaring poor GusGus silly.....he was hiding under my desk shaking. So we made a quick list of errands, leashed up the doggo and left the house. Got a lot done -- renewed my apartment lease, took Josh to the bank to open an account, had lunch, and bought batteries!!! Finally......SILENCE. :) But...on a good note....we know the beeping is loud enough to wake us up in an emergency!! And the main fire alarm (speakers in both bedrooms) are incredibly loud. Very thankful those don't work on batteries - way way loud! We definitely would NOT sleep through a fire, gas leak, etc.
04:03 pm
Ugh, annoying (and poor puppy!) but very reassuring that the sound is noticeable. ❤️
05:16 pm
He was so scared. I really felt sorry for him. Glad we took him out of the house and let him have a nice car ride. :) He's back to himself. And he got treats when we got home. :) Hopefully he's forgotten about it :)
05:52 pm
Poor puppo, glad he does well on rides.
06:20 pm
Those alarms are so loud! When we change the smoke alarm batteries, we test them, which beeps all throughout the house. I started leading Zen into the pantry so I can close the door and protect his ears for those tests. The pantry is farthest from all the noise makers.

Hello CommuniTEA! I'm getting settled in at work. Starting my afternoon off with some ginger peach tea iced, will be trying today's tea iced later. (need caffeine now. Had to get up early for a meeting.) I hope you are all doing well. I may be able to join the Tea talk next week. My husband will be at a work conference so we won't be having our usual lunch date. =)
04:29 pm
I love today's blend. So glad I've been able to brew it on time.
04:50 pm
So I tried the new Blueberry Peach Cobbler Green tea cold brewed. The Blueberry flavor was nice and the green tea was too, but the Peach element got lost for me. I prefer today's tea to that one - clearer and stronger Blueberry tea flavor
05:30 pm
Woody, Peanut looks so cozy! Give him a good belly rub for me!

Good evening all. I love today’s tea and look forward to having some later this evening. This morning I enjoyed Irishman’s Shamrock Shake, a delicious creamy mint tea. https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=106211 Later today I kept the mint vibes going with Mindful Mint Chai. I hope you all had a lovely Friday and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today has been overcast since this morning. We even had a light drizzle. It wasn’t enough to need an umbrella or a jacket, and it even felt refreshing. It was also a fantastic tea day! My first cup was Steve’s Syracuse Breakfast Tea. Oh my goodness, is it ever an excellent brew! Steve has combined blueberry, maple, and orange flavors to make a great representation of his Alma mater. If you haven’t tried it yet, you really should. https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=203929. My second cup was Earl Grey Lavender. That is another great tea to have on a cool and overcast day. I like most Earl Greys but even if you don’t, I think it’s still worth trying because the bergamot is not overdone but it just hovers just a tad in the background. https://www.adagio.com/black/earl_grey_lavender.html Soon enough we will have some very hot weather so I’m enjoying the cool weather now.
06:56 pm
I had a cup of Dad's Tropical Almond Bark earlier today. So delicious. I was gifted a sample of Green Rooibos Blueberry for my birthday and haven’t had a chance to try it yet. A perfect day to do so while you all are sipping it as well but I will do it later, towards evening, since it is an herbal tea.
