The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

💔

Streak Loss & Support

The conversation began with Bambi Hora sharing the disappointment of losing a 1200+ day visit and 1147 day chat streak, a sentiment echoed and sympathized by several members such as Andrea & Lynn, Rebecca M, and Janet R, who even suggested a special exception from Adagio. Others like Mary B and Julie W sent supportive words and virtual hugs.

🌺

Art Appreciation

There was a warm discussion about art, with compliments going to Michelle McGill for her soft pastel flowers, especially almond blossoms. Mikayla D, M, and Mary B all expressed their admiration for her artwork.

☕

Daily Greetings & Tea Talk

Morning and daily greetings from many users fostered a sense of community, with people commenting on the weather, plans, or notable 'theme' days such as traffic light and underwear day. Marlicia Fernandez, Andrea & Lynn, Katie R, Tanya, and Julie W chatted about the seasonal change, their tea choices, and personal routines.

Friendly exchanges also included stories of late-night and early-morning tea (and sleep) struggles, with users like Twyla MoonBeam and M sharing their wakeful moments.

🍵

Featured Tea: Almond Oolong & Marzipan Memories

Much of the day's conversation centered around Almond Oolong, the featured tea, with a range of opinions. Angel V. recounted fond marzipan memories in Germany, sparking a thread about marzipan and almond treats with Rita Gerstheimer and Paula M.

Others like Regina C, Cas The Monster, and Samantha S weighed in with their enjoyment of the tea, while a few, such as Jasmine Mone and Tenise L., mentioned changing tastes. Tea blending and trading were also discussed, with card trading offers and thanks for recent exchanges.

🎉

Community Celebrations & Sharing

Community celebrations included multiple birthday wishes for Tammy and chat about tea delivery excitement (such as Janet R receiving her favorite decafs). Henni's tin art on tea blends also earned compliments from Mary B.

Questions about mystery boxes, tea trading, and collections generated friendly advice and stories, keeping the conversation lively and interactive.

💬

Kindness, Pets, & Evening Reflections

Throughout the day, users exchanged support, shared pet stories (like Ruth Perkins' cat Eli recovering), thanked others for advice or trades, and sent evening farewells. From late-night tea sippers to those observing the changing seasons or simply wishing each other well, the group showed a strong sense of camaraderie and kindness.

The conversation closed with more goodnight wishes, reflections on the hazy moon and smoky air, and a final round of almond tea enjoyment.

I just lost my 1200+ day visit and 1147 day chat streak. 😢

12:05 am

😭oh no! And it looks like you only missed it by 5 minutes too!

05:09 am

That's not fun. But you have a lot more freedom now.

06:29 am

((hugs))

06:56 am

I feel for you Bambi. I think Adagio should give you a dispensation.

07:52 am

Bambi, that is rough. I am so sorry. So close...

08:02 am

It happens.

08:48 am

I'm so sorry, Bambi! That was an impressive streak indeed!

11:18 am

There should be a score board somewhere that shows who hold the top records for those.

11:21 am

I'm so sorry, Bambi. I know I'll break my 1500+ streak when I go on vacation next month.

04:12 pm

Beautiful flowers, Michelle!

12:22 am

Yes, very lovely.

04:04 am

Thank you, Mikayla and M. Soft pastels on sanded paper , trying for almond blossoms 🌸

Good morning, Nancy! Have a wonderful Tuesday. God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪😇

05:03 am

Good morning lovely denizens of Adagioland. Happy Tuesday! I hope your day is off to a fantastic start, and only gets better. This seems to be a delightful tea, at least according to my review, LOL, so I hope you all enjoy. Cooler temperatures here for the next few days, with storms later in the week. It looks like Autumn is reminding us that she's on her way. Yay! (I like all the seasons, but Autumn is my favorite.) God bless and may your day be filled with good things...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

05:02 am

Good Morning! Looks like the smoke is finally clearing from my city. Maybe I can actually get outside today!

Good morning ☀️

Good morning!

06:15 am

Happy traffic light day, green peppers day, night out day, underwear day, work like a dog day and oyster day! My dog doesn't really work that hard ... So, does this mean I can call off work, bark at people walking by, eat treats, and nap off and on all day?

06:20 am

Underwear day? Hmmmm....

08:04 am

I think so! You deserve the break.

08:49 am

Tuesday and the heat wave begins.

06:30 am

Good morning! I hope everyone has a wonderful day! This morning I’m finishing off my stash of blueberry tea.

06:32 am

Loving these cool mornings.

06:45 am

Good morning! It's going to be another day in the 60's.

06:53 am

Well a week in the 80s was nice.....August woke up yesterday though. lol AC back on..... How many days til Halloween?? That touch of cool breeze has me thinking of Fall. :)

06:54 am

Morning

06:59 am

Have a great day!

07:06 am

Love today’s tea. Mmm. Hope y’all have an excellent Tuesday.

07:18 am

Good morning all! Hope you have a tea-rrific Tuesday!

07:53 am

Good morning all. I wish I had some of today’s tea since it sounds so good. I was happy with my Dark Side of Bella Luna this morning though. I have to get ready for my yoga class this morning. I’m really looking forward to it.

07:55 am

Dark side -- yum!! Hope you have fun at your yoga class!

07:57 am

Anybody have an Irish Breakfast card to trade? I need one more to make a sample. Check out my cards and make me an offer! :)

07:57 am

Good morning tea pals. We are off to do our grocery shopping this morning. It was another hot one yesterday (101 for a high, according to our HVAC), but at least we got some rain in the evening to cool things down a bit. I hope your day is off to a great start. I do not have any Almond Oolong in my stash so will not be able to sip along today. I'll have to see what I have that is close. I am sure I have something with almond in it.

08:01 am

Nice cool morning! Great day to enjoy today's tea! 🫖

08:10 am

G'morn ~ Really enjoying today's tea with some Gaba Oolong Blended in..... Randomly woke up at 2am.. Commented Zzz💤 with the others whom also randomly happened to be up too... Was able to Zonk and Conk back out but still--Enjoying the brew to try to wake up a bit more.

08:21 am

Good morning, all! 😌☕️

08:45 am

Off to work. Sipping on Sophia Raftopoulos’s Rudolph’s Tea. Have a beautiful day.

08:48 am

One of my favorites today, looking forward to my first sip! Good morning everyone.

08:49 am

Good morning! Iwoke up yesterday with the sniffles, which turned out to be the start of a summer cold...just in time to visit my parents. That means I have no green tea to help fight it. Oh well. I hope the rest of you are taking care and healthy!

Yesterday, had a fun River-Cacao-Ceremony Meditation with a BFF and fellow Adagian imbiber... at the 11:11 forest! https://www.adagio.com/236047 ...... Made the libation with my OtherWorldy Cacao intentional blend & Cardamom Infused Ceremonial Cacao. Was Dreamy!! https://www.adagio.com/236579

08:56 am

Sounds delightful! I did a nature stop for a minute on the way home from work today, despite a bug bite, it was sweet, even just a few minutes can be great :) still living vicariously through your nature ventures! (I stopped at a creek and walked down to the water's edge)

07:39 pm

Eli hurt his paw somehow yesterday. We put him in the front bedroom, with his lunch, and went out to run some errands. When we came back and let him out, he was limping. He seems better today, but Henry chased him a lot yesterday, so Eli has chosen to hang out in the front bedroom this morning. Hopefully, he'll come out later.

09:00 am

Aww, poor kitty. Send him kisses for me. 😽❤️

09:01 pm

Ooo. Almond.

Okay, I know it is not February, and there definitely is not any snow on the ground, but I just had to have a cup of Twyla's lovely blend, February Snow Moon. Yum! https://www.adagio.com/211342

11:11 am

That’s on my wish list already. Great teas in the blend. I drink winter and Autumn teas all year long!

11:57 am

As do I. My taste buds are multi-seasonal!

02:47 pm

Thank you to everyone who traded with me yesterday!

11:15 am

Hope everyone's having a lovely day so far! Just wanted to thank the CTers who had advice about my sencha counter top stain, and the tea intel about potentially the iron in my water being responsible for the purple color! I tried to find who helped, but lost patience and you know who you are. My water does tend to be iron rich, we even have an extra water tank to remove iron, so whoever said that was totally on point! Plain hydrogen peroxide got the remaining stain out like magic, should have guessed! Happy sipping! :)

11:15 am

Ellen, I am so glad you found something that worked.

02:48 pm

Good afternoon all! Hubby will enjoy today’s tea later.

12:11 pm

This is a good flavor

12:43 pm

Almond Oolong tea offends me though I like almond flavoring a lot-- both its scent and taste. I can't help but feel that the tea isn't much of an oolong or much of a flavored tea. I'll take black Almond tea over this oolong any day! What I *REALLY* enjoy is marzipan though-- used to nibble on Marzipankartoffeln often in my early teen years because we were living in West Germany then. Johs, a department store there, had a bakery counter with all kinds of German goodies and back then we were getting 3 deutsche marks for each dollar. So, tasty treats while my brother shopped Playmobil sets and Mom explored home goods. I liked their cheap (not merely inexpensive) earrings and bangle bracelets. Hey, it WAS the 80's. ;) Queue Tears for Fears' Shout. https://www.daringgourmet.com/marzipankartoffeln-chocolate-dusted-marzipan-potatoes/

01:23 pm

My family in Germany usually sent a box of Christmas goodies and gifts every year. It always included marzipan. My son went to Leipzig while in high school and brought back a box of the Niederegger marzipan. The company was the first to market marzipan chocolates. I have a recipe for homemade marzipan. I ended up driving an hour from my house to buy rose water to add to the mix just like the recipe called for. The first bite reminded me of the marzipan sent by my relatives. My friend whose family came from Ukraine doesn’t add rose water to her marzipan. Her comment was that marzipan is so simple to make, just almond flour and sugar. The potatoes were not a tradition in northern Bavaria where my family lives, so I first saw them at the local German import shop. My mother didn’t usually buy them, I always got the marzipan foil wrapped ornaments on my presents instead.

01:38 pm

I pretty much ate any marzipan I could get my hands on. ;) Chocolate covered, cinnamon dusted, plain bars, you name it! I was 11-13 years old during the time my dad and our family was stationed there.

01:50 pm

Angel, what lovely memories. I’ve never had the opportunity to live in Germany, but have loved every visit there. I have fond memories of German marzipan, too. Lübeck has an astounding amount of marzipan. The marzipan sculptures there are amazing also. Beautiful marzipan dreams.

10:43 pm

My first time with almond oolong. It definitely has a milder taste than almond black tea.

01:40 pm

I've been eagerly awaiting the almond oolong in this month's communitea box; it's one of my favorite adagio teas

01:51 pm

Good afternoon! I have some of today's tea in my stash, so I had that this morning with an English muffin toasted and smeared with elderberry jelly (from the farmer's market). It was a very tasty combo!

02:00 pm

Hope everyone is having a good day.

02:04 pm

happy Tuesday, folks...

02:18 pm

Trying to catch up with messages and such, just got home and still gotta get the pets. Then it's the unpacking and attempting to steer the kids back into their normal schedules. Thank you to the person who picked up my "Tango's Orange Cat Energy" blend.

03:32 pm

Welcome back!

08:15 pm

Thank you, steeping this almond oolong now. I like adagios almond, but I think I can totally see why some are averse to it. It definitely reminds me of pure almond extract in the scent of it, but not so much like the but itself if that makes sense at all.

09:03 pm

Ah, today was nice and cool. Still not much growth on the melon, but hopefully it'll be big and tasty soon.

03:41 pm

I spy a birthday hat...happy birthday, Tammy! 🥳

03:52 pm

Happy birthday Tammy 🎉🎂🎉

03:56 pm

Happy birthday Tammy!

04:05 pm

Henni, the tin art of your new blends is marvelous.

04:07 pm

Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 Tammy!

04:45 pm

Happy birthday, Tammy!

04:57 pm

Rainy day definitely calls for warm cup of tea!

05:13 pm

Happy Birthday Tammy! 🎁🎂🥳🎈🎉🫖

05:25 pm

Oolongs aren't my favorite but this one is okay.

05:36 pm

I used to love almond oolong, idk if it's my taste buds changing or mastering more flavors, but I've grown away from this one.

06:14 pm

i've had oolong before from a different brand but wasn't a fan - was pleasantly surprised by this! now i'm looking forward to some of the other oolongs this month.

05:42 pm

Today's tea seems nice, but it will probably be better sweetened for me.

06:29 pm

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good day!

07:19 pm

Good evening all. I got my tea delivery today, having ordered it yesterday morning. I ordered all my favorite decafs. I’m having a wonderful cup of Decaf Hazelnut Cin Creme now and it’s so delicious!

07:41 pm

Partaaaay! Love the new Decafs!

08:13 pm

Loved this tea!

08:03 pm

This is one of my favs. It’s good for blends too. 😋

08:55 pm

Great tea!

08:08 pm

I was thinking about getting a decaf mystery box. Has anyone tried it and what did you think of it?

08:45 pm

I got one back in May and I think I'd get it again. Mine had a 3oz bag of dreamberry (which was the special then), plus 3 sample sizes and I think there were some portion packets in there as well.

09:59 pm

That sounds pretty good. Thank you.

10:05 pm

Staying with the almond vibe, rooibos almond with some oat milk creamer tonight!

08:48 pm

Bridgette, are we going to get access to the September box soon?

10:07 pm

I just spent some time hearting photos from days past. I hope I have helped some people. ❤️

10:09 pm

I do the same.

10:55 pm

Good evening all! Enjoying a late night cup of tea before bed :)

Good night CommuniTEA 🌉

Just turned another almond oolong. Only one more to make a sample.

11:32 pm

You could try trading for one.

11:42 pm

Was too busy a day for tea but I did have some Lardera coffee and some monster mash yesterday. Good night everyone.

11:39 pm

Enjoyed almond tea today. Stayed inside most of the day but did take a small walk. The hazy orange moon tonight is a good reminder of the smoky air still out there
