The tangy, bright and perfectly balanced flavors of Ceylon black tea are a great canvas for many flavor expressions. The very best Ceylons blend easily with flavors giving them excellent depth and complexity. Take our Almond Black, for example. Touch of raw almond aroma, plush mouthfeel reminiscent of creamy marzipan, with nutty sweetness upfront and balanced, clean astringency.
Twyla, I am so sorry to read of your loss. You are in my heart tonight.

Thank you, Charlotte. I've always loved flowering fruit trees, so a collage of blossoms was a way to frame the old tea photo.

Good morning everyone!

Good morning, tea friends. I was a sleepyhead and did not crawl out of bed until 7:00 this morning. After breakfast and a cup of Golden Flower, we headed out for our lovely morning walk. I hope your day goes well.
10:21 am
Good morning, Mary. Happy Wednesday! I'm glad you were able to sleep in a bit and also get in a morning walk. It's been raining since I got up (maybe even before), so it's doubtful if my husband and I will get one in today. We'll see. I hope you enjoyed your tea, which sounds lovely and delicious. God bless and have a super day! ๐๐๐ซ๐ต๐ช๐ถ๐๐งถ๐
10:27 am
Marlicia, I'm sorry you were not able to get out for your walk this morning...maybe tomorrow? We are fortunate here as our rains usually come in the afternoon or evening. It is already time for me to get lunch on the table...the day goes fast when you sleep late! I hope you have a wonderful day, cozy inside your home.
10:48 am
Twyla, I did not see your post until this morning and am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
10:43 am
Happy birthday, Jerika. ๐๐๐๐๐
10:46 am
Happy birthday wishes for Jerika! I do miss seeing her beautiful pictures of the sun low over the water just past the bow of the boat. I always wished to be on a boat looking at the water when I'd see them. My thanks to everyone who posts such beautiful Vistas into our daily photos. Steve, and dear Twyla in particular, you always provide such lovely virtual views.
10:51 am
Good morning, friends. I went for a nice walk with my husband and Star and we saw and spoke with my older sonโs first grade teacher! Heโs 34. It was lovely to catch up with her. Weโre getting ready for painters to come in tomorrow.

I almost forgot to tell you what Iโm drinking this morning. Itโs Fall in New England https://www.adagio.com/116596 I think this might be my favorite fall blend by Irishman. It has Almond, Gingerbread, and Cranberry teas and cranberries added as well. I just think the blend works perfectly the way Irishman blended them!
10:58 am
That one looks good, Janet! I've not tried that one by him yet so have to toss that into my cart :D
11:02 am
Sending so much love and light to our dear Twyla. I know this CommuniTEA will hold you in love during this difficult time.
11:44 am
Nice flavor today. I like Almond and it helps to smooth out the Ceylon. Enjoyable blend!

Happy Wednesday! Why couldnโt the tree get on his computer? Because he could not log on.

How do people feel about the listed brew temp for adagio's black teas? I think black tea gets way too bitter if you boil it, so I never put it in 212 water.
03:25 pm
I find the reduced time helps me with Ceylon teas. Other black options I never have that issue with.
03:26 pm
I brew around 194 degrees
03:29 pm
For me- making-brewing and steeping tea comes down to taste. I like 212 for black and herbal but because I use honey-sweetener You may not get it right the first time but what you see are peoples choice -example of how they like it. You time your tea up or back...your choice I like 2-3 minutes for non flavored black tea and for flavored black tea I like 4-5 minutes because I put milk in it with lots of sweetener. ( Lol...sweet tooth). Also for teaspoon of loose leaf little ot a lot -example one or two teaspoons per cup. Your choice , it might be an experiment but when it or you get it right your in Tea heaven. It all comes down to Your Taste. Your little taste-buds like what they like!!!!! LOL
03:31 pm
Andrea, I always brew black teas at 195 degrees rather than 212.
45 mins ago
I agree as well, Andrea & Lynn. I steep black teas between 190-200 degrees, depending on whether they're flavored and if so, with what. Two exceptions are when I steep Kentucky Bourbon flavored tea, since it seems to handle the high temp, and generally if the blender specifically suggests a high temp, I'll give it a try.
