The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

🥳

Birthday Celebrations

The Adagio Teas CommuniTEA page was especially festive yesterday, with many members sending warm birthday greetings to both Khrissi Satterfield and Debbie. The celebratory messages included poems, well wishes, and even creative limericks from users like Mary B, Ottum Raabe, Michelle McGill, and Ruth Perkins. Khrissi and Debbie expressed their heartfelt gratitude in response.

☕

Tea Tasting & Friendly Banter

Alongside the birthday excitement, members chatted about the tea of the day, sharing their impressions and favorite ways to prepare it. Rebecca M, John McKenna, and others debated the merits of hibiscus and how cold brewing can affect flavor. Paula M lightheartedly teased John, sparking a friendly exchange about their wildly different tastes in hibiscus teas.

🍃

Morning Tea & Daily Greetings

Many users updated the group on their morning routines and teas, posting greetings and sharing what they were brewing, like Julie W cold-brewing Earl Grey Moonlight and Mary B starting her day with Formosa Bai Hao. Twyla MoonBeam and Kathryn McCutchan discussed berry-themed teas and summer activities, sometimes tying in the celebration of 'Watermelon Day' and other fun daily holidays.

🥒

Recipe Sharing & Food Chat

The conversation frequently veered into cooking, with Nancy, Marlicia Fernandez, Kate B, and Kathryn McCutchan exchanging recipes for using summer produce like zucchini and squash. Suggestions included zucchini bread, creamy soups, quiche, and Calabacitas, highlighting the community's love of good food alongside good tea.

🌎

Earthquake Chat & Community Support

Members also discussed a minor earthquake in New Jersey, with Twyla MoonBeam sharing her friend's experience and the coincidental sounds she heard. Others chimed in about previous quakes and their unusual impacts, reminding everyone of the importance of friendship and support within the community.

💬

Other Conversations & Community Spirit

Other topics included tea stains on quartz countertops (with cleaning tips exchanged between Ellen and Michele C), book recommendations from John, and nostalgic talk about drinks like Fruitopia and Snapple Elements. Many members stopped in to wish everyone a happy Sunday, reflect on weekend activities, and, as always, end the day with warm goodnight wishes.

Happy birthday Debbie🎈

12:00 am

I hope the september boxes are available soon

12:01 am

Good night

12:02 am

I really enjoyed this tea the last time I had it. It’s probably because of the awesome hibiscus 🌺

12:07 am

Paula, I feel like you were trying to get a rise out of John with this comment.

07:40 am

Anneke, mostly I was looking for something positive to say. I love how wonderfully tart hibiscus flowers are and I buy it by the XL bagful. John and I are polar opposites in our hibiscus tastes. I would gladly drink all of his hibiscus for him—just to be helpful🤣 There definitely was some gentle teasing, though, with the hibiscus emojis under his post🤣

12:13 pm

Happy birthday, Debbie. 🎈🎉🎁🎂🎈

12:21 am

I’m gonna try the tea, but I know where it will end up, see today’s picture

07:44 am

Such a beautiful flower, such a yucky tea. 🌺

08:28 am

Have you tried cold brewing it? That really helps with the bitterness

09:21 am

I have, still don’t like it!

Last night, a bestie in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ was shaken with quite the fright of being in the epicenter of an earthquake, 3.0. ~ Which is more unusual there. He said..everyone ran out into the street, thinking a car had hit their houses or something. He said it less so rattled and more so was LOUD... like an explosion. What was strange is..at the exact time of the earthquake...I was hearing strange sounds that got me out of bed. I wondered if the Catten boys were playing, but no, they were calmly laying about. I don't know exactly what I was hearing..it sounds like unusual creaking & shifting noises. & Hey, Adagio headquarters is in that Earthquake zone ...Has anyone checked on the Tea?! 🔍🧐🔬💭

07:42 am

Oh my... Mystery tea blends if the tea got all shook up!

07:47 am

He probably projected what he was experiencing to you

09:17 am

We are indeed friends for two decades & quite psychically connected.

09:47 am

You know it is bad when you can start coming close the the measure when they hit. Been about a year since our last one above 2.5 but they are loud (and unnerving). Hope they are all calming down.

02:32 pm

The pigeon letters/Peggy Dean is doing her summer creative camp right now, free to watch while open (August 1st to 6th). You can paint a nebula or felines in a garden! Check it out!

07:52 am

I’m at work right now and will chat later….Love you all!

07:57 am

08:02 am

Sipping upon a pantry / infuser self-blend... Huckleberry / Forest Berries / Currant❣️ ~~~~🫐🌳🏞 Magnifique! 😋 Mary.. My Forest Berry Bestie..You'd love this! Where are our other Forest Berry Besties?! Holla, "Berry Squad!"

08:02 am

Twyla, you bet! Huckleberry, Forest Berries and Currant...what could possibly be better?

08:46 am

I love Forest Berries. The tea is wonderful. A bonus, yesterday I went to meet my family in the mountains (they were camping) and we got to pick black raspberries.

11:15 am

Absolutely wonderful!!!

06:46 pm

Happy Birthday Khrissi! 🎈🎂🎈

08:03 am

Thank you, Samantha

10:07 am

Good morning! It's actually cool out this morning. I had my breakfast on our back porch, and I was almost chilly. I love when these pleasant summer days come in August. It's a nice reminder that fall will come.

08:18 am

Same here, in NEPA. I had tea outside with long sleeves and socks on! Chilly, wonderful. GOLDEN light morn!

08:51 am

Happy Birthday Khrissi! I hope your day is TEAlightful.

08:19 am

Thank you, Anneke! It's my Knitting Group day, i think they have plans for me

10:08 am

by Ruth Perkins

I like Sleeping Dragon, but would prefer more English Breakfast at the moment. Anyone want to trade me? I have a new favorite green tea from a different company, so as great as Sleeping Dragon is, my green tea needs are provided for at the moment. ;)

08:40 am

Good morning tea buddies. Formosa Bai Hao was the tea of the morning here. I will be doing some cooking this morning and will check back in later. I hope your day is going well.

08:48 am

Good morning, Mary! Happy Sunday. I'm not sure I'm familiar with Formosa Bai Hao. Is that a Master's blend? It sounds intriguing. Have fun cooking. I'll be doing a bit of that today as well. 😇 God bless and have a super day. 😇🫖🙏🍵🍪🎶📚😇

08:52 am

Zucchini bread is a good idea Marlicia. I can freeze it too for later. I love soups year round so will make a soup of some sort for the week. The summer squash makes soups creamy without dairy, so I might experiment with that. Thanks for the ideas!

09:10 am

Marlicia, it sounds like it should be but it is actually an Adagio tea. Here is the link: https://www.adagio.com/oolong/formosa_fancy.html?searchTerm=formosa

12:19 pm

Good morning Mary. I made a pot of Formosa Fancy Bai Hao yesterday and swooned over every sip. I'm cooking today too using up my share of veggies for the week. Can't decide what to make yet though. Definitely some cucumber salad, but can't decide what to do with all the zucchini and summer squash.

08:53 am

Ooohh...zucchini bread, Nancy! I'm not sure what to do with the summer squash. I don't particularly like it, LOL, but maybe a cream soup? That might be good. (Yes, I know it's summer and HOT, lol...but never too hot for soup, and never the wrong season for zucchini bread. 😇) God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚😇

09:03 am

Zucchini quiche is also a delicious option. I usually put in mine 3 shredded zucchini ( I use a paper towel to soak up excess water from zucchini), 1 cup of shredded from block parm cheese, 1/2 diced onion, 2-3 cloves garlic, 3 eggs, 1 cup bisquick, Italian seasonings and maybe a little onion and garlic powder, a little salt and pepper. My kids and I are addicted to this recipe 😋

10:11 am

I love to make Calabacitas, just add onion, garlic, peppers, and corn, so good.

11:23 am

Nancy, I will have to try the Masters Formosa Fancy Bai Hao one of these days. Right now we just have the Adagio Formosa Bai Hao. Hubby loves it.

12:21 pm

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Sunday! I hope your day is off to a wonderful start. We're just back from Sunday Mass and I'm sipping Irish Stout with a homemade chocolate, banana, peanut butter breakfast muffin. Yummy! 😇 I hope you are all enjoying today's tea or beverage of choice. Thank you to all who wished my husband a happy birthday weekend. Your wishes were very much appreciated. Today is the homemade meal and pineapple upside down cupcakes (super sized, LOL), and tomorrow, his actual birthday, our older daughter, Davina is taking him out for lunch. Thus will endeth the husband's 2025 birthday celebration. God bless and have a super day. 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

08:48 am

Happy Birthday, Khrissi! I hope you're having a fantastic birthday and birthday weekend. May your special day be filled with family, friends, good food and tea, and every blessing and good thing. God bless and may you have many happy returns. 😇🙏🫖🎂🍵🧁🍵🍪🎶🎁📚🧶😇

08:50 am

Thank your, Marlicia!

10:10 am

Happy Birthday, Khrissi 🎉🎂🎈🫖🧁

08:53 am

Thank you, Shannon!

10:10 am

Upon thy birth, dear Khrissi, light doth shine In leaves of tea, sweet joy we doth entwine. At Adagio we toast, warmth divine Thy presence, like fine brew, is most benign. #

08:53 am

:) Thank you, Katie

10:10 am

Good morning, Nancy. Happy Sunday! I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful, relaxing day filled with all that makes you happy. God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚😇

Good morning Marlicia. God bless you and yours too.

Hi tea people! I used to be a regular Communitea-er, and I still vicariously check the tea of the day and the CommuniTEA reviews pretty often tho tbh. Question for the Communitea community-- I was making a cup of sencha tea at a friend's, the cup spilled over a little bit, and something happened to pull me away/distract --- the long and short is there is now a stain on her white ish quartz counter from the tea. I've been making tea at her house for a week and nothing has stained at all, but I've wiped anything up right away. Has anyone had this happen and if so any tips on removing the stains? We're trying the broader internet, but thought it was worth asking here... Thanks!

10:31 am

As I was reading your post, I was half expecting to hear you say marble, not quartz, as I know marble is quite porous. My first thought would be to try something bubbly like seltzer water and baking soda. Or maybe a let a paste of water and barkeeper’s friend sit on it for a bit? Good luck!

11:47 am

Thanks Michele!!

12:39 pm

Watermelon Day! This is probably my daughter's favorite fruit.

10:50 am

Happy birthday Khrissi and Debbie! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈

10:51 am

Thank you, Tanya!

10:57 am

Happy birthday other Debbie!

10:52 am

Interesting... This is the second pack I've had recently which listed rose hips twice in the ingredients. I like this tisane for mocktails or an iced beverage.

12:04 pm

Fruit Medley - i liked this, it has a strong fruity smell, and the cherry/strawberry taste really shines through

12:36 pm

Hello my beloved CommuniTEA and Happy Birthday to Khrissi!! 🥳🥳🥳 Have a blessed day filled with everyone and everything you love!

I hope you all have an amazing Sunday

04:54 pm

Today's tea is OK. I'm not really into herbals though, and this seems to be a touch on the tart side. Sweetening it would probably help for me.

06:14 pm

The tea today was good iced.

06:37 pm

The fruit medley of various fruits I've eaten today has included: blueberries, grapes, peaches, figs, mango and I might go for pineapple as well!

06:44 pm

Sounds like a FRUITOPIA!

06:46 pm

I remember those fruitopia machines were everywhere when I was a teenager

09:55 pm

Same, John. I really liked them!

09:57 pm

I did too, but what I really miss were the snapple elements. Specifically "Rain" which was agave flavored and I miss that drink so much. I have yet to find a decent knockoff of it that is around now.

10:26 pm

I hope you all had a great weekend!! ☕️

Late with pic today so just posted a photo of the book I have been reading late at night during tea and wind down time. It's based heavily on d&d "Curse of Strahd" campaign and I would give a heads up to any fellow players that it is chock full of spoilers both in secrets mechanically in game and in the narrative so shocked the book didn't have a spoiler note in the beginning.

10:35 pm

I was away visiting family and friends. It was a good trip, but I am glad to get home to my own bed, my own shower, and my own TEA!
