Good night

Enjoy this tea - it would be a hard no for me.

I need to use some butterfly pea flower powder in some lemonade!

It's a fun addition 💙

Mikayla - I have a butterfly pea flower powder portion card if you'd like to trade for it. I'm open to any tea card.

Unrelated, but - your picture for today - I love his music! 🥰 He's one of my favorites.

Thank you so much for the offer! I have a refill pouch I haven’t even opened though, so I think I should not😂

Sent an offer, feel free to counter. 🙂

Pleasant dreams CT. As for my fellow Texas tea pals to the south of us, stay safe.

I was really surprised at how blue this one was!

I'd love to try the blue mango, but didn't get it this time.

Goodnight

My pic today is of Henni's Midnight Blue! It looks sooo dark blue in the pitcher.....and then ya pour it out--And, WOW, the BEAUTY of thee sparkling hues of magenta, indigo and purple ...in the Sunlight.... is mesmerizing! 💜🌿🎑 ....July Friend Blend Fun! https://www.adagio.com/237978

Twyla, I'm so, so happy that you like my blend! And thank you for the shout out and the wonderful review. I really appreciate it.

Most definitely!! About to get a BIG tin of it, for the rest of the Summer!!!

Goodnight CT!

excited to try this cold brew that awaits me!

Good night 💤

I tried this one a few years ago, and I remember it actually being kind of okay, even though I don't usually like mango flavored stuff. I guess the lemongrass must've mostly covered it up, maybe? ...also I made it in a salad bowl because I didn't have a pitcher at the time. 😂

Nighty night folks

I don’t know about where you all live, but here in Roanoke it has been the quietest 4th of July weekend I can ever remember.

Everyone must have come to Denver metro. No festival at the park next door which was odd, but the fireworks went for hours. Until 4 am on the Fourth. And fireworks are illegal here due to wildfire risk.

I was just going to say they sent people my way, but Julie beat me to it!

This year was especially bad for poor Cici. Our neighbors on both sides of us were setting off the big loud ones that go BOOM! She dug a hole to stay cool and tried to escape by chewing off a vent near the fence thinking she could squeeze through. She also scratched off a protective piece of plastic on the door trying to get inside. We were gone visiting my very pregnant niece up in Milwaukee. I don't think we can do that again. I realize she would have been just as scared if we were home, but in hindsight I think it still would have been better to be with her. Unfortunately my niece has cats so it would not have worked to bring her along.

Good morning tea folk.

Good morning. Another night I'm up all night due to the heat.

Happy Birthday Ann! 🎉🎁🎈🎂

Happy international kissing day, national air traffic control day, National build a scarecrow day, National fried chicken day, National hand roll day (sushi), umbrella cover day, and hug a virtual assistant day!

Um...this may be obvious, but how do you hug a VIRTUAL assistant? 😉

Anneke, I am wondering that as well.

I guess you could hug your phone, kindle, tablet…????🤷🏻‍♀️

Virtually.

Where do you find all these days? 😁

Checkiday online :) https://www.checkiday.com/

Well then Ive done two activities already today. Kissed my husband, and used an umbrella to let the dogs out this morning due to rain. Suppose I could pick up some KFC after grocery shopping 😂.

Good morning

Good morning!! Up early as GusGus woke me up demanding walkies. It has finally quieted down, so he is feeling better. He is now sitting next to me giving me side eye because I'm posting and he wants his breakfast. Chiweenie attitude is back! :) I will brew some Irish Breakfast after I feed His Majesty, who is completely under the belief that he has not been fed in days. I will have to do the usual theater act when I fill his dish. It's a requirement. I look at his empty dish and say "Oh no! There is no food in your dish! Oh dear! You could have died!!" Then once filled, I have to present him his sustenance with a Vanna White hand gesture and "Enjoy!" He won't eat until I say it -- he will just look at me. I don't believe I trained GusGus to wait to eat.....I think HE trained me to be a waiter. lol I'm definitely his support staff. :)

I LOVE your daily Gus Gus adventures and stories, he is such a brave dog and you are a most excellent caretaker/servant ;)

I love the GusGus stories as well Julie. He is such a spirited dog. My grandpup Nutmeg needs a dramatic introduction to her dinner as well. During a time when she wasn’t eating I felt so special when my son said that she was eating better for me than when her other grandma came over to feed her!

Julie, your GusGus stories are the best! I always read them to hubby and he loves them too. Thank you for the smiles.

Such a cute picture of GusGus, I love the side eye.

i am in need of input. :) GusGus needs a new collar. He is deep brown brindled with white on the tip of his tail, paws/lower legs, and tummy. What color of collar would look good on him? He's got plaid red right now. He's in need of a fashion update. His leash is black. And he has a red harness (which he hates, but we're working on it) but the collar does not need to match his harness/lead. He's a chiweenie. About 14 lbs, so small size. Any suggestions?? He's in my photo today so you can see his fur colors. :)

Maybe you need to put a couple of crayons on the floor and ask him what color he likes? ;)

I’m partial to blue or teal collars myself. I do think GusGus looks good in red though.

Like Janet, I'm partial to blues and teals, also red. Having said that, I think Gus Gus will look good in most jewel tones (Such a cute little guy). God bless and good luck. 😇

I think he’d look especially handsome in an emerald green collar.

On the complimentary side of things, blues and blue greens would be nice. Deep reds with hints of purple/ blue would too, like burgundy and wine. Me…bright green almost neon lol. (But thats me.). Bellatrix has several collars mostly holiday themed. She has one for almost every holiday. Little hates collars but will allow a harness, and our oldest has collapsing trachea so he wears nothing (except a harness for outings only).

Ohhhhh, I love the idea of getting him more than one, and some holiday fashion! :) Great idea! Then I could go with all the great color suggestions as well and just switch them out. :)

Good morning! It's going to be another hot one today. Perfect day for iced tea 💙

Good morning all. I don’t have any of this tea but I will have some Mango tea with my breakfast today. Stay safe everyone in the heat and terrible weather down south.

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Sunday! Just back from Mass, the first Sunday Mass I've been to with our new priest. He gave a super good homily and speaks in pleasant, measured tones, easy to hear and understand. I'm glad he's joined our group of parish priests. He will be a great blessing, I think. I hope your day is off to a terrific start. and that it only gets better and better. I haven't had today's tea, so I look forward to seeing how you all like it. God bless, and have a super day! 😇🙏🫖🍪🍵🎶📚🧶😇

Today's tea is brewed and chilling in the fridge for some afternoon sipping. Have a great day and stay cool out there!

Morning

Good morning! This is definitely a lovely iced tea!

Good morning! I made my family a big breakfast and now we're heading out to the lake.

Have fun in the water!

Starting today with my Doonabrig blend vibes!! 🚂💭🛤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://www.adagio.com/233741

Good morning! I have today's tea in the fridge for later.

Good morning. First I apologize to each of if I have left you concerned or worried in my absence. I am stable in life and health as is my Mother although I am still hoping for a room in a different facility to relocate Momma closer to home...As for my distance from the CT, something happened with my most recent one click order ( the only way I am ordering and I have always received my orders) that left myself and the recipient of my order (another CT member) both very confused. The order wasn't much in value cost wise but everything I order I find value in anticipation of it's arrival and the impact it will have on my life. I loved tea. This came at a very bad time in my life. A lot was going on in my life and I simply did not need more stressors. I have been so upset about this situation that I am no longer able to even think about tea. As I see it, being my own personal opinion, we are publishing great reviews, creating blends, sharing tea, and helping to draw in customers as we do this. Adagio is a successful company, offers various tasty tea varieties, and has an amazing CommuniTEA that I enjoy being a part of but with that being said I truly felt let down by them once again ( I too in the past received a "short box in value" )but this time in how customer service handled this order complaint. If I hadn't sent an email expressing my concern on receiving my package prior to **realizing I might not receive it I would have better understood how things went that order.** (My CT photo submission had state initials that were not NY- I was asked to select a default address, both were my own to choose from)... I recently received an order cancellation refund and have as well received a package. For me, this could have happened when I sent my initial complaint and things may be different for me. I bought June, and had ordered July but I cannot seem to FEEL IT any longer, being proud of being an Adagio customer. I am hopeful with time this will change.I am hopeful they can regain my trust again. I do pop in to read your chats. I miss you each. You are some great friends and I appreciate each of you. Happy sipping.

You are missed Mary A - but more importantly with time I hope you get to enjoying tea again. Hugs.

I’m sorry things didn’t go well for you with your order. I do hope that you can get your mom settled in a better place closer to you. I’m sure that would go a longway to helping your life run more smoothly.

Yes, I am sorry fo hear this, Mary!!!

I am hoping the mix up was caused by Adagio's move, and isn't a sign of things to come. Sending hugs!

I definitely think the move has been an adjustment in various aspects.

I didn't realize that Adagio moved! Where are they now located? Did they move headquarters, or one of the warehouses?

Still in NJ, seemingly not too too far from where they were before. They moved everything completely. A completely new warehouse & office.

We miss seeing you here and thanks for popping on at least. Do what you feel you need to in order to feel happy with your choice. Try to remember mistakes happen and even in dealing with mistakes there is also a learning curve to resolution and we are part of that learning experience and hope that brings about a positive change in future similar situations.

Ms Mary your feelings are valid, and what you feel has every right to come through. Im sure with time once you’ve processed them and laid them to rest, you will be able to revive that love you have for tea. Life unfortunately can cause us to have the most unpleasant feelings, but deep down in those times, you find appreciation for the things that make a situation more tolerable or even getting through the worst. Dear friend we love and miss you, and I hope you find your balance again soon. We are here for you no matter what 🤗.

I’m so sorry:/ I also recently had an issue with creating a blend for my mom that I was told was copyrighted, even though it was my own fanart and the picture I did it off of is said to be out of copyright since 2014. But even if it isn’t, there’s literal blends that have movie pictures on them, and even Adagio’s own Scooby-Doo blend has an actual picture of the dog. Since that whole back and forth with emailing I’m kinda nervous to create fandom blends:/ I understand the whole copyright concern, but it is my art and they are called Fandom teas for a reason… I’m getting back to a spot where I am creating blends again, and just made two LOTR ones with my art and haven’t seen an issue. Hopefully time will heal and you can also start enjoying your experience again!

I'm glad to see you checking in. You are a special part of of the communitea. I understand the not "feeling it" it part. There is so much about life that's difficult to communicate here, but we appreciate you and we hope you enjoy your cups of tea with love and peace.

Sorry to hear about the stress in your life right now, Mary. I am well-acquainted with the added stressor of caregiving. Wouldn't trade it... but it does make one's life more full. I have also found that an unpleasant experience can be heightened by all that I'm going through. Although no longer as active in the CommuniTEA as I used to be, it is such a welcoming group--even when I only occasionally pop in to say hello. Take care of YOU, and don't worry about how often (or not) you are able to post. We understand. Sending hugs!

Hang in there, Mary. We will be here for you. The people in this CommuniTEA are the absolute best, and you can count on them to always be supportive. I have never known a group like them and Adagio makes it possible. I am so glad you are still popping in to read Chat and welcome your posts whenever you feel so moved. Hugs and much love.

Mary, sometimes circumstances can become overwhelming. Take the time you need to recharge, rearrange, remedy, and recover. Then you will be able to find your way back to joy. We all wish you the best.

There once was a lass who loved tea / Rebecca, as vibrant as can be / On her birthday's cheer / We raise up a tear / Wishing happiness steamy and free #

Happy Birthday, Rebecca! May your special day be filled with everything you enjoy and with everyone who makes you happy. God bless and may you have many happy returns. 😇🙏🫖🎂🍵🍪🎁🎶📚😇

Oh, Ann, today is your Tea-Hooray! With cups that clink and pings of hoy! So sip, sip, sip, on this grand tip-tip, Happy Birthday, tea-time joy! #

Happy birthday, Ann. 🎈🎉🎁🎂🎈

Happy Birthday Rebecca! 🎉🎁🎈🎂🫖

Happy birthday Rebecca and Ann! 🎉

Happy birthday Rebecca

Happy birthday Ann

Good morning tea pals. I am so happy to share good news...Laddie slept through the night with no digestive issues and hubby was able to get a good night's rest. We walked this morning and Laddie was as energetic as usual. When he went to potty it was normal. I am going to stick with his canned food today and if he does well will give him one meal of his dry food (it is the same prescription kidney food as his canned food) tomorrow to see if that makes a difference. I am cautiously optimistic. He is currently snoring on my lap. Since it is Sunday, and we always make Sunday special, hubby made egg in a pan and sipped Ali Shan while I just had to have more of Mary B's Woodland Stroll. Even though your name may not be Mary B, I strongly recommend you give this tea a try if you love a good, sturdy brew and berries. Forest Berries, Assam Melody and Decaf Blueberry are accented with strawberries, blueberries and apricots. It is absolutely fabulous. Here is the link to it:

Mary, I’m glad that Laddie is feeling better today.

Thank you, Paula. We are hoping it continues.

Such great news about Laddie ❤️

Karen, we are hoping it continues as he was sick one night, fine the next night and then sick the following night before. Fingers crossed!

So glad that Ladfie appears better and your husband got to sleep! Caring for fur babies is hard work!

Bambi, I love that little fellow so much! I am so hoping whatever was troubling him is in the past.

I spy with my eye a party hat! Happy Birthday Rebecca! 🎂

Happy birthday Rebecca and Ann ☕️🎈🎂🎁🎂🎈☕️

Happy birthday, Rebecca and Ann!

Good morning, all! Blue mango iced tea has been a favorite in our house for awhile. Did anyone brew it up hot?

Good morning, all! ☕️

I dont drink coffee but I know some here do. Up for trade, please no plain green (unless gunpowder I save those for hubby) or any earl grey other then that im open for anything.

Just curious Ottum have you tried zhejiang lung Ching? It is in the CT later this month and is a pretty awesome green. I need to try gunpowder as I have only had it in blends.

I got John on that Zhejiang train! I, too, of course, recommend it immensely.

As of right now, if I’ve never tried it, I will. Which in the case of Zhejiang Lung Ching, I have not had a chance to sip it yet. Im lucky hubby likes almost all green teas. He prefers plain, but gunpowder is his most favorite. I will certainly try anything once!

Ottum, I extended a trade offer. Feel free to decline or counteroffer.

Thank you so much Mary! One of my favorites 😋

Happy birthday Rebecca and Ann! 🎉🎉

Happy birthday, Ann!

Good morning!

Happy Birthday, Rebecca and Ann!

Happy birthday Rebecca and Ann🎈🎈

It sure is the perfect day for an iced tea, there’s a heat index of the mid-90’s. 🥵

Today’s looks GOOD

Happy Birthday Ann! 🎉🎁🎈🎂🫖

Good morning! Happy Birthday to those celebrating today!

Last summer I had a big bag of today’s tea and it was all gone by the end of the summer.

I might have to try this one soon, the color looks nice. Reminds me of the Bella Luna Blue blend

It does look good

TRADE: Anybody looking for a Scorpio tea card? I have one for trade....I prefer plain teas. Make me an offer!!

Drinking peach iced tea in a carafe outside with some blueberries from the farmers market. Love a peaceful Sunday

Ah, I’m not ready for the weekend to be over! 😩

Now I'm going to vent or I'm going to go gift crazy. Ha-Ha I'm a good man but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of not getting my problem solved. adagio has not gotten to me with an answer why my order was not complete by giving me 4 samples for a mystery box. I'm very upset at this moment and I 'm a very kinda low key person and I'm in pain typing with arms-hands hurting, but this upsets me. I want answers please.

Hopefully they will tomorrow- it is Sunday. I think they will make it right, but it is still super frustrating. A three day weekend makes it worse.

Remember this was a three day week-end so likely no one in customer service was working since Thursday (they deserve a holiday as well). Hopefully you’ll hear from them tomorrow.

Hello, bambi: This was a birthday gift for someone else that is very special to me. When I got the gift the way it was in the small package, I knew something wasn't right. I was going wrap the gift, but decided not to give it to the friend. It was a something from my heart and my love of tea. ( and what I could afford at the moment.) Sure and Yes , we do need off on holidays but I thought they would have a skeleton crew on. I'm not saying they don't work hard. This is were I'm coming from, so I'm here to Vent to my tea friends and NOT ever asking for anyone to take sides in any way. Not to get jump on.

Sunday funday!

how is the blue mango

I have been curious, but not curious enough to buy it. What do folks think?

It's ok. I like Bella Luna Blue more.....

Started the day with a friend blend Ebeth S The Face https://www.adagio.com/231260. It fit with a podcast I just listened to about facial recognition and face blindness (prosopagnosia).

Goooooooooooooooooood evening Tea Pals! How in the name of yummy Iced Blue tea for Sunday Tea Lovers?!?!? I'm living the ICED Tea Dream Yaaaaahhhhhooooo!

Summer concert season starts for me in two hours

TRADE,Tea Card !!!!! Looking for something good. Big hugs Tea-Loving-PEEPS :)

Woodie, take whatever you like from me. I would really like this card and have been waiting for it. God bless... Edit: Made you and offer. Please feel free to counter. 😇

Hey-ya, dear Tea Pal. Your true colors come out with your love of other and your personality is quite grand. Yes, to the choice of your Spice card of your dreams. We should all follow your loving personality.

time sure flies when there's good tea

Good evening everyone!

Trade, Tea Card! Please feel free to make me an offer (no coffee please). I'm heading offline now, but will get back to you ASAP. God bless and thank you for your consideration. Sleep well, all...😇😇😇

Safely home from the beach. Had a lot of fun but now it's time to relax and let the sunburns heal

Finishing up the body of my new crochet creature. All the complicated colorwork is done, so the rest should be smooth sailing.

I had it hot rather than iced, but today's tea was generally good. Not really my thing, and perhaps better cold, but still nice.

Enjoyed the tea today

Def got a little bit of a sunburn... 🥵 ....Its been a good few days swimming, picnicking, iced tea sipping and fireworks!

Heyyyyyyyyy there diamond girl...sent message.

Hope you all had a peaceful Sunday. Sad to see the weekend come to an end. Wishing you all a mild Monday. Goodnight CT.

Good evening all! I enjoyed a cup of Irishman’s Caffeine Free Raspberry Truffle Hot Cocoa as my last cup of the day. https://www.adagio.com/43108 It was delicious!

I may have to look into that one. My favorite hot cocoa has always been raspberry with spearmint coming in just a slight second.

Good night everyone!!

My daughter celebrated her 6th bday today. It's actually the 9th, but her party with her friends was today. She did a dragon theme even though we did it at our local discovery center and they got to wear lab coats and be mad scientists doing ice tie-dye on coffee filters, volcanoes, and making bouncy balls. It can be absolute chaos with 15 5 and 6 year olds and her 2 year old brother, but was still insanely fun. All are tired and have to take in-laws to airport at 5 in the morning. Sipping some of Irishman's "Rainy Day" to unwind. This was my last cup of it and it was one of my June friend blend picks. Super relaxing tea absolutely recommended for sipping and thinking and just mellow moods. https://www.adagio.com/105722

That party sounds amazing, John!

I will not lose my chat streak! I hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday!
