The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

🍵

Tea Chat and Flavors

The conversation was lively on the Adagio Teas communiTEA page, with many members sharing their morning greetings and what teas they were enjoying. Flavors like honeybush, pumpkin blends, and chocolate teas were mentioned by members such as Charlotte Ellett, Mary B, and others. Several users commented on their preferences for different tea types, discussing favorites and reviewing blends.

💔

CommuniTEA Pause

A major topic was the upcoming pause of the CommuniTEA box for November and December, which disappointed many regulars including Twyla MoonBeam, Kat B, and Woodie Barnes-McWhirter. However, Twyla MoonBeam shared that photo posting and chat will remain open, allowing the community to stay connected during the break. Members expressed hope the box will return in January and discussed ways to keep the group active and positive in the meantime.

🎁

Gift Exchanges and Advent Calendars

Many discussed alternative advent calendars since the Lardera Advent calendar was canceled, with suggestions about other tea, coffee, and cheese advent calendars from stores like Aldi. Members also talked about mystery boxes and shared gift ideas, such as zodiac tins and tea trades happening within the community.

🤗

Support and Community Care

The group showed strong support for members sharing personal news. age updated everyone on Sabby's vet appointment, and many, including Paula M, Michelle McGill, and Mary B, responded with warm wishes for good health. Rita Gerstheimer shared the sad news of her mother-in-law's passing and received an outpouring of sympathy and condolences from the community.

🎉

Fun and Activities

Fun continued with tea card trades, recipe spins for free sample tins run by Khrissi Satterfield, and thanks expressed to Cassidy for numerous blend reviews, which delighted several blend creators. Members also shared weekend activities, meal plans, and experiences with events like concerts and farmers markets, fostering a caring, friendly environment.

🌙

Closing Notes and Camaraderie

Throughout the day, members wished each other good morning and good night, with many expressing gratitude for the continued daily chat even during the upcoming CommuniTEA pause. The group emphasized the importance of community, encouragement, and sharing both teas and life events among their online tea-friends.

I love honeybush, and this is a good flavor.

12:05 am

Charlotte, me, too. It may be my favorite 😍

03:41 pm

This will be a great nightcap!

12:07 am

Goodnight all, and happy sipping to those enjoying today's tea

20 days till Halloween 💜🎃💜 Happy Caturday!!! Today my picture is my lil' tacocat!! 💜🐈‍⬛💜 Jake, got me a blanket for my birthday that is a giant tortilla, Sabby is a huge fan! 😂 Super bummed about no Communitea for, November and December, the ber months are my absolute favorite months, but very happy it seems we'll still be able to chat in the time being. Sabby has a vet appointment today at 8am, wish us luck as we are testing kindney values, to see if the iv's at home are helping. Fingers crossed they are! We're sending everyone our best!! 💜🐈‍⬛💜

12:22 am

All the best for you and Sabby.

12:31 am

07:11 pm

Sending Sabby my best wishes and a hug

10:07 pm

Good tea today.

12:29 am

I'm kind of sad. I was thinking about getting my roommate a zodiac tin as a late birthday present since my mystery box had a cancer tin, and libra doesn't have one. I know they discontinued the little tins a while ago but this is sad that they also discontinued a majority of the bigger tins, cause I LOVE their design! They're so cool looking! The constellations on the inside are just awesome!

12:37 am

goodnight all! rest well!

Good morning tea pals, and happy Caturday. Hubby started the day with a cup of Brigadoon and I started it in splendor with a tasty cup of Woodie's Pumpkin Bourbon Bliss. The name says it all...Pumpkin Spice, Cream and Kentucky Bourbon blended blissfully with apple pieces, cinnamon chips and marigold flowers. Such a yummy fall blend. Woodie hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Hubby loves it...said it reminded him of pumpkin quick bread. https://www.adagio.com/238058

Dear Friends, ReShare from yesterday, if you missed it. The Nov & Dec CommuniTEA box will not be available. You can see the little message about this on the CommuniTEA purchase page. https://www.adagio.com/gifts/communiTEA.html ...... It is hopeful that the CT Box will return in January. We at Tea Talk discussed with Ilya ....and he said he could make photo posting OPEN for all...so that we can still enjoy posting photos through Nov & Dec! So we will double-check on that being a total 💯% go ...next time we talk with Ilya--that, in fact, he is able to do that for us!

08:10 am

Thank you for sharing that info.

08:29 am

I really hope so. I just found this group in September when I was sent a free week. I think marketing could be doing a better job because I usually search tea clubs every year and just did yesterday to experiment and while several blogs listed different sites, Adagio’s wasn’t on any of them and it is by far the best with new tea every day and a place to discuss it. The others send a 3 oz or more bag of 3 or 4 teas and I could just order some on my own and choose what I think I will like. I love that this gives teas that I would not ordinarily try but just enough for me to decide if I want more. I have several in my cart now and will purchase later today once I finish trying the honeybush apricot iced. And I always check out the suggestions in this chat and have some of those, like the Greek Mountain, in my cart too.

02:41 pm

Kat, Welcome.

10:34 pm

Thanks Twyla.

05:01 pm

Thank you, Twyla. I would really miss seeing everyone's photos. Even our teacups on counters are a wonderful way to share our tea blessed days!

08:32 pm

How have a I not reviewed this one? I guess I've not had it on it's own before, but that's a little hard to believe.

08:11 am

More Update: No Lardera Advent calender this year. All Tea Advent calenders are available, as usual and Selefina Advent will be available, too.

08:11 am

Oh bother. I was counting on the Lardera Advent calendar this year. Darn.

08:59 am

I was really pumped for it!!!

09:17 am

oh no! I really loved that one last year!

10:48 am

I did, too!!! Big time!!!!

11:23 am

Paige enjoyed that ((albeit very late!).

11:24 am

Boy it is just rough news back to back with holiday box news.

01:15 pm

I got myself a TeaWare Mystery Box for a Christmastime treat. I may get the December purchaseable Mystery Box.

04:29 pm

Aldi does one with Coffee, if anyone wants a coffee advent calendar. But unfortunately no Aldi stores in CO. Aldi does a cheese advent calendar as well. I used to buy one every year! Wish CO would finally get an Aldi store!

02:25 pm

Ooh, a cheese advent calendar sounds amazing

02:32 pm

We do the cheese and coffee ones and if we get lucky they have a chocolate one that lifts up each tab and becomes a little display, but they go fast and you have to be there when they show up which of course is not general knowledge at all.

03:36 pm

I may try the Aldi Coffee Advent for the first time, this year.

04:30 pm

Good morning; time for tea.

08:12 am

Good morning ☀️

08:14 am

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Saturday! I hope your day is off to a great start. I'm getting ready for breakfast and everything that comes after. I'm going out for lunch with my husband today, which is always fun. God bless and have a terrific day! 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

08:23 am

I'm very ready for a weekend after a week's worth of homecoming festivities. Starting my day with Bella Luna.

08:33 am

Starting with a cup of coffee, then moving onto tea ☕️ 🫖

08:56 am

Good morning! Sipping the last of my Ooooh Darjeeling on this chilly morning.

09:23 am

It's looking like this will be a rainy, dreary weekend. Perfect for tea, knitting, and naps!

Speaking of knitting—Khrissi made me a lovely looking blend! I haven’t tried it yet but it is sitting in my cart :D https://www.adagio.com/243617

10:56 am

Thanks for the shoutout, Mikayla!

11:26 am

Mikayla, that blend sounds fabulous. I am looking forward to your review.

12:55 pm

Good morning! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

09:58 am

Good morning, everyone! It's cold this morning...maybe too cold to work in the yard, but I need to do it before I pick up the grandkids and take them to the pumpkin patch. Have a great day!

TRADE: Well, my card now flips on Saturdays. LOL. I have a Chocolate Truffle card available if anyone is looking for one. I prefer plain black, oolong or pu'erh teas. Make me an offer :)

10:45 am

Looks like you already got your trade. ;-)

11:51 am

I did. It went fast!

02:17 pm

oops....emoji parking lot :)

02:17 pm

Good Morning CT! Im not quite in the chocolate mood at the moment and in dire need of some caffeine, so I chose Autumn Green Mist for this morning. I will have today’s tea later, most likely after dinner as it sounds like a delicious dessert 😋. Hope everyone has a spectacular Saturday!

10:50 am

Greetings, all! Sad to hear about communiTea for the next few months.

10:56 am

Yes, I was gonna get a December box for Christmas. But I think I’ll make a line up of different teas and blends to drink instead!

11:47 am

Good morning! Bought a ticket months ago to go see Paul McCartney's concert tonight in Denver :) So glad I did, as this month has been rough so far. Just about everything that could go wrong is going wrong. lol Ever had a month like that? I need a night out with a friend. Going with a friend/coworker. Will definitely be good for my soul. Sometimes you plan something ahead of time not realizing what a blessing it will be when the day arrives!! Can't wait! Will enjoy tonight....and then back to business as usual tomorrow :)

11:03 am

I am so excited for you. I would absolutely love to be going with you.

12:57 pm

That sounds great. Have fun!

02:01 pm

I can't wait! I haven't been downtown much yet, so excited to finally go to Coors Field. It may get me excited enough to go to a Rockies game next year :) And Macca!! I missed Elton John's last concert tour when I lived in NC and he played in Charlotte....almost bought tickets and then didn't do it. Still kicking myself! So when tickets to McCartney first went on sale months ago, we bought our two tickets. Going to go and just let music revive my soul. :)

02:22 pm

Good morning all!

11:25 am

Last day of the conference. And it’s raining in Phoenix.

11:37 am

It’s starting to clear. It’s typically quite hot this time of year.

02:37 pm

So long as no flooding disrupting flight home in the morning I’m good. Stuck inside anyway.

Where is the best place to buy a black light? I found out that quinine looks blue under a black light and thought that might be a fun drink for my Halloween party.

11:59 am

I'd suggest Lowe's or Home Depot, but this close to halloween you may find them at grocery stores or halloween stores too

12:23 pm

Spencer's was always my go-to for that

01:13 pm

second Spencer's!

04:50 pm

You might also find it at Walmart or Target.

01:53 pm

A Halloween Spirit shop should have black lights.

02:23 pm

I wonder if Ilya could program it so that we get a news feed notice when we can flip over a new trading card? I feel like each week I forget by a day or so and it pushes it back further and further.

01:12 pm

Philip, I'm certain he could, but I doubt that he will. I think they make it so you have to check in to get it on purpose. Set an alarm on your phone.

02:15 pm

agree. Mine was Wednesday.....now it's Saturday. It just keeps jumping around. :)

02:23 pm

I set one to go off every week a few minutes before flip time.

02:40 pm

I am glad for yesterday to be over, there was a family emergency but in Arizona, I hate being this far sometimes. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

01:39 pm

Happy Caturday

SPIN TO WIN A FREE SAMPLE TIN of one of my Cooking With Tea blends. If you've won in the past year, it won't be free. I'd love to know what you win! https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/wheel.html?group=25810

02:14 pm

I won Citrus Tea and am eager to try Winner Schnitzel. Having lived in (then) West Germany, I love a good schnitzel with pommes frites. Also, Jägerschnitzel (Schnitzel with Mushroom Gravy) sounds good now that I'm grown up (no to mushrooms as a child). I'd likely use chopped portobellos instead of white mushrooms and serve the gravy on the fries instead of the meat to keep the schnitzel coating crispy. BTW, I spun the wheel multiple times to get a tea that would work for me (deleting the others from my cart). I don't drink iced tea ever... my basement living room is too chilly for such a drink especially when the weather outdoors is hot! LOL

03:01 pm

I hope you enjoy the one you won after your several tries! Thanks for sharing :) BTW, I love Jaegerscnitzel and Weiner Schnitzel, my family is very Germanic in our ancestry. So I grew up eating a lot of German foods.

03:19 pm

I’m not a huge fried food person and it’s important that the oil is the perfect temperature in order for it to not be greasy, otherwise I do schnitzel more. My fav though is sauerbraten. My mouth waters thinking of it. Unfortunately no real German restaurants here, just some that offer wurst and a few schnitzels, but none that offer a larger variety or sauerbraten.

04:10 pm

Khrissi, I spun Chocolate Chai Caramels. It sounds delightful. Thanks for the spin.

10:49 pm

You're so welcome, Mary! I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to sip it! <3

Scottish Breakfast trading card available. Obviously interested in an unflavored black tea in exchange. Ceylon Sonata does nothing for me though. ;)

Cassidy is in serious business with all her blend reviews! I'm so impressed 😎

02:56 pm

I'm in love! Many of them were for my blends! and Twyla's and Woodies, she is just making my heart explode with her generosity!

03:23 pm

She's reviewed some of mine, too. I wonder if she was the one who bought all of the samples a few weeks ago...

04:00 pm

yes, I asked, she's the one who made our day seem like Christmas in Autumn.

04:06 pm

I’m so impressed too!

06:09 pm

Hi all

02:57 pm

Hi, Dana. New to CT or just checking in? I'm an avid tea fan but not an actual CT member. A nice place to visit with like-minded people though. :)

03:02 pm

Hello!

03:23 pm

Started day with a chai latte for caffeine and then the honeybush chocolate. It is good but chocolate tea isn’t really my thing. Much more into floral, like rose and lavender, and fruit, like blueberry and peach.

04:15 pm

Cassidy, thank you so much for the 21 purchases and reviews!! 😍

04:19 pm

Good afternoon. I'm having a slow start today. My 6 yo niece and 3 yo nephew spent the night last night and just left for the pumpkin patch. I think I need some calming chamomile. Cheers!

04:20 pm

Happy Caturday!

Watching some football today. Tonight baseball 😊

05:08 pm

05:19 pm

Did you see Twyla’s post that they aren’t going to be able to do CT boxes in Nov. and Dec? Looking at options to still post some photos.

07:48 pm

hence DIYing

11:12 pm

Decided to go all out for dinner tonight. Was craving tteokbokki

05:24 pm

It looks delicious. My mom used to make seaweed salad when we lived in Hawaii and it was so good.

05:57 pm

I'm not really into honeybush, so today's tea is just OK. It might be better for me sweetened.

06:01 pm

CommuniTEA Box for Nov???? NOT until 2026??? did I read That Correctly??? Lol Like an idiot, I didn't read Twyla's report on CT post!

06:02 pm

not until January, maybe.
