The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

🍵

Chit Chat & Tea Blends

The Adagio Teas communiTEA page was full of lively discussion as members greeted each other and settled into autumn routines. Many shared good wishes for a peaceful Monday and updated one another on tea choices, weekend activities, and personal plans. There were several morning check-ins and friendly banter, such as Mary B and Mikayla D talking about new tea blends and blends created in one another’s honor.

💌

Community Events & Swaps

Several posts encouraged members to join upcoming seasonal events, such as the Holiday Card and Tea Exchange organized by Khrissi Satterfield. She shared links to sign-up sheets and reminded new and established members alike that everyone is welcome to participate. Kathryn & Kami and others humorously shared experiences about previous card swaps and preparing contributions for group gatherings.

👩‍💻

Support & Check-Ins

Members supported each other through personal ups and downs, with Jessica Alonge and Kat B mentioning migraines due to weather changes, and others like A F sending well wishes. Philip Zendels reported a power outage, prompting suggestions from Khrissi Satterfield about charging stations at libraries. Christine Hamman mentioned preparing for a 5k run and nursing a knee injury, with Mary B offering encouragement.

🎃

Seasonal Celebrations

With Halloween approaching and fall in full swing, members exchanged ideas for fun, like making their own tea Advent calendars and giving themed tea packets to coworkers. Jasmine Mone shared about fun Halloween wine bottles, and several users discussed rainy weather and staying cozy with tea and cats. Woodie Barnes-McWhirter promoted Halloween tea giveaways and special blends in the spirit of the season.

🧶

Crafts & Hobbies

There was a creative streak in the conversation as Ruth Perkins discussed her latest mosaic knitted baby blanket, charming several other members who admired the color choices and pattern. Helpful knitting tips were exchanged, and connections were made over shared crafting interests.

🌧️

Weather & Daily Life

Many users commented on the rainy, autumnal weather and how it affected their routines—from making certain teas appropriate for gloomy days to challenges with outdoor activities. For some, this meant extra chances for cozy activities indoors, such as making soup or preparing for the week ahead.

Kat, I responded to you in your Newsfeed

12:04 am

I’ll have to make myself a cup of this tea. I kinda forgot about it, but my review said that I thought it was Christmasy—and I’m feeling Christmasy!🎄

12:02 am

John, I am with you on the streaming shows. It’s awful being partway through a show and not be able to finish it.

12:05 am

Yeah there are not many that I am willing to purchase partial seasons just to finish it and I am the type where if something isn't completed it can really nag/eat at me until I fix it

😂 I still have cards I want to send out for the ... uh ... no longer spring, card swap, lol. 😅

02:14 am

Goodnight everyone!

12:22 am

sleep sweet, Emma!

12:22 am

I got some cool Halloween wine, not sure if the wine is good but the bottles are neat

12:37 am

Late night/early morning. Time for some Sweet Slumber. Just saying...

12:43 am

Mary, me too. Sweet dreams 😴 ✨️

12:59 am

I hope you had a good rest. I am ready and energized to do some cleaning today.

07:53 am

Been fighting a migraine all night. Hoping the moringa helps

12:52 am

Hope you feel better soon, Jessica!

12:54 am

Jessica, I hope you feel better today.

07:54 am

I I enjoyed this one the last time I had it. Happy tea drinking 🫖

12:53 am

The nor'easter is here and it's windy outside. Later on a cup of Samurai mate will be a nice mid morning cuppa! Sweet dreams, tea friends!

12:58 am

Good night 😴

01:07 am

Apparently it might rain here tomorrow and probably will the day after, blah. 🌧 Days where I can't go for a walk feel bothersome from routine loss, plus it's probably the only brain downtime I have each day where my thoughts can wander without any feeling of "I should be doing x". Also I need to get a lemon from the store before Wednesday. 🤔

02:21 am

Just one lemon? 🍋

07:12 am

Just one! 😊 I go to a lesbian book club each month that has a potluck at the beginning, and I'm going to make a blueberry-lemon-oatmeal oven thing this time (my cooking abilities have grown to include "put 3-5 ingredients in a pan or bowl, mix them, and stick them in the oven without setting off the smoke alarm" 🥳), and I already have oatmeal and frozen blueberries. And I've noticed that if I get the lemon more than a day or two ahead, it gets a little softer and that makes it harder to do the "zesting" part. But, now I have the lemon too! I woke up feeling able to manage bright sunlight without hitting sensory fatigue, and the rain isn't supposed to happen until the afternoon / evening, so I went for a morning walk~ I like evening walks after the sun goes away much better, but any walk is better than no walk, and now I don't have to worry about the rain making it so I can't get a lemon. 😊

02:06 pm

Did you know if you roll the lemon on the counter before juicing it, you will get more juice out of it? I zest it first, then roll it.

08:59 pm

Hope everyone has a great week, enjoy a Monday off, if you get it off 🤪

03:39 am

Good morning tea friends... Thinking of all those in the Nor Easter path...I'm up early to paint my dining room..... Pumpkin Potion is in my cup.... I've been thinking about Halloween and wondering ❓Will I have any fun Spooky tea left if I keep Gulping Ghouls🤭...Have a beautiful Autumn day doing something you love doing.🍁☕🎃

05:34 am

Good morning

Good morning

06:23 am

Have a peaceful Monday.

06:28 am

Monday has found its way here again.

07:12 am

Good morning, all! ☕️

07:22 am

Good morning!

07:35 am

Hello! Happy indigenous people day, Good Samaritan day, Day for Disaster Risk Reduction day, (and oddly) International Day for Failure (? on the same day?), Suit up day, English language day, Plain Language Day, No bra day, train your brain day, M&M day, Yorkshire Pudding day, Silly Sayings Day, and Native American Day!

07:41 am

Do the schools in your area still give off for Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly Columbus Day)? I don't think most of the ones in my area have given this Monday off since I was in 25 years or so...

07:50 am

Michelle, hubby and I read a page from "A Cherokee Feast of Days" (Daily Meditations...Joyce Sequichie Hifler) every morning and then spend ten minutes meditating so I am going with Native American Day (every day, for that matter).

07:59 am

Happy M&M day ! How fun 😁

01:12 pm

Michelle, my brain may need training as i just read "train your bra day"🤣👙🤣. Perhaps I should celebrate silly saying this day!

07:47 am

Michelle, perhaps training bra day? Remember those?

07:56 am

Also, I want to see how AI translates this conversation!

08:46 am

Mary, Oh heavens yes. I was so proud😅🤣😂. Michelle, me, too!

10:22 pm

I thought of that too, pairing train your brain day with no brain day, perhaps train your brain instead of your boobs is apropos?

08:46 am

Michelle, now you're just messing with our poor AI bot, hehehe!!!

10:24 pm

Good morning all! I ran yesterday in preparation for an upcoming 5k and appears I hurt something behind my knee. Hoping to rest so I will be healed for the run. Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday and a great Indigenous People's day!

07:53 am

Christine, I hope you are able to compete.

07:57 am

Good morning

07:55 am

Rainy mornings are good for tea.

07:56 am

Good morning! Mate is a good choice for a Monday. I hope yours is merciful!

07:57 am

Oof. I am *not* a fan of getting up and going to work in the dark. I hope this Monday treats everyone well!

Good morning tea friends. I had a friend's blend this morning, and it started the day perfectly. Witches Brew, concocted by our very own Woodie, is a chocolate and apple lover's dream come true. Cinnamon, Chocolate Chip and Candy Apple...what more could anyone want? Oh...more chocolate and cinnamon. And it has that, with added cinnamon and chocolate chips and cacao nibs. Yum! https://www.adagio.com/8589

08:04 am

Oh, I am having Candy Apple Concoction today... Candy Apple Vibezzz for us.

08:49 am

That's a good one too. Your addition to Candy Apple of Keemun Rhapsody sounds good.

Starting my day with some Sunny's Perfect Blend. Yum! https://www.adagio.com/205907

08:11 am

Ruth - I love the colorwork on your baby blanket!

08:31 am

Thank you! My friend is Goth, so I planned to do it in black and purple. I gave her the choice of purple or pink (she's having a girl named Rosie), and she chose pink. I liked the way the charcoal gray looked with the pink better than the black.

10:05 am

The pink and darker gray look great together and the pattern is interesting, not cutesy baby.

12:45 pm

I agree! That is gorgeous! I’m new to colorwork so I hope I can knit that well someday!

11:04 am

Mosaic knitting is very easy! You work one color at a time for 2 rows. You slip stitches of the other color to keep them in the working row.

02:54 pm

G'day Friends ...Today's CT pic post is from Saturday's show of My Morning Jacket at the MET in Philly.. Here's a B-side Bop that they DEBUTED live this weeeknd... What rarity groove fun!... https://youtu.be/Tkm2ezt_9U8?si=KLTE12tbiNa8kCGf ..... And this Morn, I am having Candy Apple Concoction mixed with a little Keemun Rhapsody which makes it more malty, with a hint of Candy Apple. That was fun blending. https://www.adagio.com/130948

08:45 am

Morning

08:49 am

Today's tea is wonderous on a winter's day, to sip, before clearing snow--to give you that extra zing. But this is going into the bin to save for that. I got plenty of packets to do my own fun Advent, which I plan to .....plus gift some to coworkers for a fun 12/13 days of Christmas Advent.

09:14 am

I was thinking the same with my extra packets!

09:19 am

Good morning tea pals. Hope your week is off to a fine start. I'm quaffing Grapefruit Black tea today. Yum.

09:49 am

Good morning to you!

10:04 am

Good morning everyone! What a beautiful fall day!🍂🍁

10:07 am

Good morning everyone! I think I'll drink some green tea from Japan while I do some cleaning. I'm going to North Carolina later this week to visit my son and family. Have a great day!

10:15 am

Good morning!

10:24 am

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Monday! I hope you are all doing well. It's a grey, rather wet, awesome, Autumn day here! I'm enjoying it very much with a cup of salted caramel chocolate. The tea today is very good and I hope you enjoy it our your beverage of choice. God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🧶🎶📚😇

10:46 am

Goooooooooood morning, Tea Pals! I hope everyone has a wonderful Fall Monday tea- day. Much love and miss chatting to all. :)

Mary B—I created a new blend for you in mind! :D https://www.adagio.com/243807

11:03 am

Mikayla, before I saw this post I added it to my Wish List. You are spot on! I love the artwork on the tin too. I can hardly wait to try it when I place my next order.

11:20 am

Yay! I made a home blend first to taste it all together and thought it was delightful— I’m glad you like the art💕 ☺️

Good morning 🌞 Taking the day off work to hang out with the teenage nibblings. Going to a Japanese grill for lunch, then D&D with the boys. I'll have some green tea at the restaurant. Have a wonderful start to your week everyone!

Good morning Diamond girl. did you get something>>>>???

12:28 pm

Magickal wonderment of Halloween & Fun! Super mega grateful!!!

06:40 pm

My power has been out for over 16 hours, and they keep pushing back the repair time. 😞

12:28 pm

Libraries offer charging stations if you need a place to charge your phone/laptop.

12:43 pm

That's frustrating!

01:26 pm

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

05:25 pm

It’s a nice sunny fall day today. For anyone in the path of the nor’easter, stay safe.

12:46 pm

Just an observation: Mate works well in the ToasTEA. Since I brew it at such a low temperature it's actually drinkable as soon as I get to work, but it also doesn't cool off so quickly that it's cold before I can finish the cup like when I drink it from a mug at home.

01:46 pm

Adrian, you're not alone. I have a preferred color order when I eat M&Ms, too. Also, Skittles.

01:48 pm

Good afternoon CT. I hope Monday is being kind to you. Today will never come again. Be a blessing, a friend, encourage someone. Take time to care and let your words heal, not wound.

02:44 pm

Good afternoon, MIchele, I hope Monday is treating you well too!

03:12 pm

Today’s tea is one of my favorites for a caffeine boost for busy mornings. The cinnamon and ginger always tickles my nose, while the pineapple is a pleasant fruity sweetness.

Fun trade with tea cards my dear tea friends. A special Power tea card for all kinds of yummy teas. I would like a good card/s. dang, I will even take an e-grey moonlight sample. ha-ha

04:35 pm

I am enjoying mate more and more. Definitely need to add some to my stash.

04:48 pm

This resembles a chai to me, but lighter than I'm used to because of the mate base. Generally pretty good, but better for me sweetened.

06:38 pm

Thank you to whoever purchased my Strawberries and Cream (Lord of the Rings fanart) tea! I hope you enjoy 🥰https://www.adagio.com/239207

I need to try brewing this again longer. Milder than most chai I have tried and I like a very spicy chai

07:30 pm

Raining here. We need it but it plays havoc on my migraine brain

07:34 pm

Hello Monday.

07:56 pm

Whew it's rainy out. Nothing beats warming up with hot tea, a blanket, and a cat.

08:42 pm

cats make the best blankets!

Happy birthday Beth

What an odd day full of lots of odd people paying a visit to my store, grateful it’s over.

09:17 pm

I've got 24-quart jars of grape juice canned. And I made chicken noodle soup for the kids because they were saying they weren't feeling well.

Good night, all I enjoyed a cup of Woodie’s blend Decaf Pumpkin Spice Dream https://www.adagio.com/237999 It’s really delicious!

09:51 pm

Super late checking in. Loved today's tea and finally getting around to trying it. I really love the chai spices and yerba mate even if the mate does get a little muscled to the background by the spices and the citrus notes. I still like it quite a bit, new fav.

10:06 pm

Sipping one I think I randomly ran across when perusing Halloween teas. "Your Favorite Scary Movie" from Jenny. Smells amazing https://www.adagio.com/152903

I love almond rooibos.......seriously will be ordering this for irishmsn. Thank you John, for the positive heads up. in my cart and going to get some more fun blends.

10:37 pm

Samurai Mate was just ok. The cinnamon was too prominent for my tastes.

10:25 pm

I keep reading in reviews how good 1:1 raja oolong chai and samurai mate is and I think I may have to explore that one for myself.
