Good night

12:09 am

I can’t believe Warren Zevon has been gone 22 years now, he passed away after a battle with lung cancer. He kept his sense of humor and wit till the end. In his last appearance on David Letterman’s show he said he was reminded to enjoy every sandwich, a statement that has stuck with me for years. Never mainstream, with the exception of possibly Werewolves of London, his lyrics always told an interesting story, Excitable Boy has such dark lyrics, but the music itself was so uplifting, here’s to Warren, I salute you with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, as enjoyable as ever. https://youtu.be/IDlpETyqweE?si=ha2aETVwhoLFlws2

12:09 am

Someone I worked with had that famous quote on the wall of his office, John. He was a great fan, and helped me gain an appreciation beyond Werewolves!

08:24 am

Good night, all! 😴☕️

Happy birthday Adrian! 🎂

12:17 am

Hey, all. Unfortunately, I am very sick with the flu. Been up taking a COVID and flu tests. I keep testing negative, but the doctors really think I have the flu. I feel like I'm dying. 😭 I hope you all stay healthy! ❤️

12:18 am

i hope its just the flu and not covid. although, the flu can be brutal too! I hope you recover quickly!

12:21 am

Oh it is definitely brutal. Thanks! ❤️

06:05 am

Our family already had a pretty nasty bout with parainfluenza this year and it won't show up on flu tests so maybe that is a candidate. Hope you get some relief

12:29 am

Yikes! Yeah, this is nasty, too. Nothing nasally, but the sore throat and the vomiting make me want to perish. 😭

06:06 am

I hope you recover soon

01:00 am

Thank you so much! I hope so, too.

06:06 am

I hope you get lots of rest and recover well

01:21 am

It's been so hard to sleep. 😭 But I'm trying.

06:06 am

Whatever it is, I hope you start feeling better soon.

07:54 am

Thank you so much! I finally got some sleep and do feel a bit better with Motrin and throat lozenges. I will be enjoying hot tea with honey all day I think!

08:01 am

Feel better soon

09:28 am

Thank you very much!

10:47 am

I hope you feel better soon and you can stay hydrated.

09:34 am

Thank you so much! 😊

01:01 am

Hi. Andrea and Lynn. I checked back in too late to reply to you yesterday. There is a fandom Decaf Rose, but just decaf tea with rose petals. I made a blend with honeybush, rooibos, and rose petals. Unfortunately neither are heavy on the rose. I even mixed in more rose petals and rose hips. I think if rose flavor was an option for blends that would help more..

01:08 am

have you tried summer rose? it's in the blending room.

01:21 am

Thank you. I do have it. I was saying on yesterday’s chat that I like the amount of rose, which I think is from the rose flavor listed on the ingredients, but that I wish they had it also in a honeybush or rooibos or decaf. I limit my caffeine after noon and would love an option to drink after that. It would be nice if rose flavor was an addition as that would lend more rose flavor to the blends.

01:42 am

I think the problem would be in how Adagio adds flavoring. My best guess looking at the ingredient lists is that most flavorings are wet and can't be applied directly to the leaves without damaging them. They instead are applied to one of the inclusions (like dried fruit) which is then dried again before adding to the tea. I'd love an option to add more vanilla in a blend. Just yesterday I was talking with Lynn (this is Andrea btw) about how I'd be happy to have some vanilla soaked apple pieces to add as I like the mouth feel they give and would be fine adding them to just about any tea that needs vanilla. Overall, more rooibos flavors would be nice too though. Edit: Do you sweeten your tea? The brand I get lavender syrup from, DaVinci, also makes a rose syrup that could be helpful to your personal brews if not the blends https://a.co/d/7CtUWaJ

03:02 am

I typically don’t sweeten my teas

04:05 pm

Just plain

04:05 pm

I make a home blend with decaf vanilla (Adagio) and a metric ton of Selefina Rose Petals. It is not to Summer Rose level, but it is wonderfully rose and vanilla, which works for me! And it looks pretty in the clear glass jar, which is a perk!

07:05 am

I did add all the rose petals I had and ordered more.

04:06 pm

Happy Birthday Adrian!!!

01:27 am

Happy actors day, Guinness world records day, bread pudding day, Indian pudding day, moms and Dad's day, Sadie Hawkins day, start a rumor day, symphonic metal day, world kindness day, world quality day, and world usability day!

07:08 am

I choose World Kindness Day! I will strive to be kind today.

07:17 am

World kindness it is! Followed by some bread pudding! A little bakery nearby makes it out of day old cinnamon rolls 😋

07:21 am

Oh that excited me. I know just where to try it now. I love bread pudding.

12:02 pm

Michelle, World Kindness Day for me. I think each and every CommuniTEA member practices this all the time. I wish the rest of the world lived up to the CommuniTEA's standards. I think they need to drink more tea.

07:50 am

Lots of lovely days today - I'm at big bread pudding fan, but I think I'll have to look into Indian pudding now!

11:15 am

Oh well kindness and World quality days are always good, but something about symphonic metal just appeals to me right now. I think I'll listen to a bit of Trans-Siberian Orchestra and possibly Savatage this afternoon.

03:41 pm

I love Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

04:10 pm

Love both of those. I have taken my oldest daughter 20 to TSO multiple times and it was my other daughter's first concert last season and was their final show of the year. Such a wonderful experience. Nightwish is another band I would say fits into that category that my younger daughter also loves.

10:35 pm

World Kindness Day! I don’t care for Indian Pudding, though my grandparents from Massachusetts did and my parents do. I love a good bread pudding. Dorie Greenspan has a fabulous recipe.

04:09 pm

Thursday! On the downhill side!

07:13 am

Maple Creme is suuuuch a fav! I am sipping on down, the glorious MCOo cuppa, right now.... & A Shoutout::: A fav Maple Creme blend is John's Tempest blend.... A must try! https://www.adagio.com/236075

07:17 am

Good morning, Twyla. Happy Thursday! It sounds like you're really going to enjoy today's blend. Yay! God bless and have an amazing day. 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚😇

07:20 am

Thanks for the shout-out Twyla!

11:51 am

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Thursday purrsday! I hope your day is off to a terrific start. Today's CT blend sounds delicious. I'm not sure I've had it, but if I have, I didn't review it. I look forward to seeing what you have to say about it. It sounds like it will taste like Autumn in New England. God bless and have an amazing day! 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

07:17 am

Good morning ☀️

07:21 am

Hi, again, lovely Adagians. I'm getting ready for morning prayer with Tahlia and then Mass, but wanted to post today's reminder before I forget. I'm going on retreat this Friday. It's a weekend retreat, so if anyone would like me to take prayer intentions with me, please feel free to contact me privately, with as much or little information as you feel comfortable disclosing. I'll put them in my personal prayer list for the retreat. I'll try to remember to post this again Friday, before I leave, if I get the chance, to give anyone who wants to give me a request will have time to do so. If you send me something that I don't see, I'll still carry the unknown requests from Adagio with me. God bless and have an amazing day.😇🙏🫖😇

07:23 am

That’s so kind of you to offer. ❤️

07:27 am

It's my pleasure. God bless...😇🙏🫖🍵🍪😇

12:51 pm

Thank you, Marlicia!

07:37 am

You're very welcome, Katie. It's my pleasure. 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶😇

12:52 pm

Good morning everyone. ☕️🫖

07:26 am

Good morning! I'm much relieved to see that most people are like me and usually select their teas in the moment on a whim. There were photos posted recently where a couple people were showcasing their sips for the tea, and I wondered...Thank you for putting me at ease! 😅

07:27 am

Definitely my style, Anneke. If I have the tea of the day, I’ll try to sip it sometime. Otherwise, I am drawn to what I feel like drinking.

08:33 am

Happy birthday, Adrian!

07:37 am

07:50 am

Happy birthday Adrian. I hope you have a splendid day. 🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎁🎁🎁🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈

07:53 am

I had no trouble sipping along with the CommuniTEA calendar today. I love Maple Creme Oolong and, as such, it is a staple in my tea cuphoard. It is warming up a bit here today so I will be able to be separated from Big Purple (my wonderful, cozy, when-it-it-cold robe). We are going out for a bit today...post office and Sam's. I hope you have a beauTEAful day.

07:56 am

Hehe. I see what you did there, Mary. Cuphoard. 😂

08:12 am

Anneke, and it definitely is a hoard! Good catch!

08:23 am

Thanks Anneke. I missed it, and if I had seen a typo, I would’ve known Mary doesn’t allow them!

08:35 am

Mary - Does that make us tea dragons? LOL And yes... I have a hoard as well.

10:03 am

You betcha! I even have a wee dragon guarding my tea cuphoard. 🐉

01:05 pm

Happy Solar Return, Adrian!! 💖✨️🌅♾️🫖❣️

07:59 am

Khrissi, if you see this, I FINALLY got to have the Cat Maze tea you made for me: https://www.adagio.com/243669&searchTerm=cassidy (and thank you again for this!) It is sooo good while I'm sick with this flu, and extra good with cranberry honey. ❤️

08:02 am

Oh yay! I'm so glad you enjoy it! I hope you still like it once your cold improves (tastebuds change and all)

12:04 pm

While today's breakfast of roasted honeynut squash topped with vanilla maple Greek yogurt and homemade granola probably would have paired better with pumpkin spice, I opted for a pot of Ruth's Creamy British Dawn instead.

08:11 am

Anneke, your breakfast sounds delicious! I'll have to try adding roasted butternut squash to yogurt/granola.

12:49 pm

Happy birthday, Adrian! 🎁🎈🎂🎉🫖

08:17 am

Happy birthday Adrian 🎈

08:18 am

Good morning, tea friends. I’m drinking EG Bella Luna before this morning’s hike. I’ll have a cup of Maple Creme Oolong from my stash later in the day. I saw a great movie yesterday called “Sarah’s Oil.” My friend and I were the only people in the theater so I wanted to rave about it here in case anyone else gets a chance to see it. I hope you all have a great day. Signing off from the place on the web that most captures the spirit of World Kindness Day!

08:21 am

The preview looked great

04:13 pm

It's Adrian's big day, oh what a delight! Share a cup of hot brew, morning or night / Steep it deep or light / Happy birthday, pure delight! #

My photo is of a picture that shows what the terracotta warriors originally looked like. They were painted. The picture also shows what they used to make the colors. The information on the picture is interesting, even though I much prefer the warriors as they are now with no paint. Now, they have a more classical, timeless look—which is not a very accurate way to think of them, since many ancient, classical, unpainted statues were originally painted and wildly colorful.

Hello, all! I'm using the lack of CommuniTea box for November to drink down the stash, since I'm not always great about drinking my sample on the day it's scheduled. As a result, I have Adagio sample packets EVERYWHERE. In my purse, in my work bag, in my car, in every room of my apartment, and in every nook and cranny of my office. I took the first week of the month to gather them all up (I should have counted!) and sort them into black, oolong, white, green, and herbal, and now I blindly select one from the type of tea I'm in the mood for a few times a day. This morning's first cup is the black cherry packet I somehow missed back in September. Delicious!

10:41 am

That’s a great idea Meg! Thanks for sharing it.

11:31 am

Black cherry sounds fabulous

04:15 pm

I'm TRYING to work down the stash.. alas I just got a mystery box delivery 😂

Photo today is the list off my Door County coffee advent calendar just in case anyone is looking for a lardera substitute this year. This one also has a "Black and TanX coffee which is a favorite for me.

11:47 am

This looks really good. It also reminded me of the fun times I had as a kid visiting family in Door County. My dad liked to pick cherries and make cherry bounce.

05:14 pm

it's tempting... but looks like whole pot portions, right!? it would take me forever to get through, lol

So at my dental cleaning appointment I apologize to the hygienists for my stained teeth and tell her that I have a tea addiction that I won't give up. She says no worries, I'd never ask anyone to give up their caffeine. I tell her that I drink caffeinated and decaffeinated teas and go on to tell her about Adagio. When my cleaning was complete I pulled out my cell phone and opened my Adagio page. Clicked on the link for scan code to share with friends. She scans it and immediately the Advent calendar pops up. She's like my sister loves tea. I'm so going to buy this. Christmas gift checked off her list. There you go easy way to share. I just thought it was interesting how it came up. I will be preparing her a lovely "TEA GIFT" to expose her to ADAGIO. She's so excited.

01:55 pm

Hello! Is anyone else experiencing something glitchy with their "cards" page? - or is it just that I've been away too long? Can't unlock some, and when I tried the first time an hour (?) ago, I could unlock just one - but I had no "redeem: option displayed, but on the other hand, no "coming soon" notification either. Thanks, and Happy Thursday! P.S. - Just noticed the birthday hat! Happy Birrhday, Adrian H.!

02:27 pm

Mine is working fine. I flipped a card from an order on Monday.

04:18 pm

I know sometimes the lock doesn't want to come off for me and I have to open the little emoji bar and there will be another lock there - which I'll put up on the card and then I'll be able to take it off and unlock the card.

I went to make a pot of Yunnan Gold, but didn't have enough in the bag. I added some Yunnan Jig to it. Yum!

02:47 pm

I seem to enjoy the Yunnan Provinces terroir. Because, while I do not particularly enjoy most pu-erh, the one that came from the Yunnan Province tastes good if I hold my nose and dont smell it...haha! BUT that's HUMONGOUS because i really do not enjoy pu-erh. But all of the blacks I've encountered from Yunnan are just amazing! I prefer gold or noir but i love jig too...and others i've had. i just cannot rave enough about yunnan's.

Had a mixture Adagio sent me in October that featured one of my kitties on a tin of a mix of vanilla and pumpkin spice. Good as long as I don’t overbrew it. Today’s iced tea is Roman Provenance from another brand. One of my favorites with rooibos, blueberry, and lavender. I think the lavender is mild but I am also highly lavender tolerant.

Terrific Thanksgiving! and and may all your holidays this season be filled with love, laughter, and maybe a surprise or two! I hope you get bitten too! (by the holiday bug, not the flu bug!)
