This is such a smooth brew! It's perfect with your mid-afternoon snack or just by itself as a pick-me-up. It has all the body of a good black tea gentled with magic. Not milkly at all. But I expect milk would be good in it but I drink all my teas black.
Such a delicious tea! Enjoyed the sweet creme flavor paired with smooth decaf black tea. A sweetener add elevated the creme flavor nicely and made it extra delicious. Love, too, how the creme flavor blends well with many other teas and is so good by itself.
My CT packet had 3 grams of a fragrant and beautiful loose tea. There were lots of dark tea leaves and many white cornflowers scattered about giving off a warm creamy scent. Brewed 10 oz. at 212*F for 5 min The medium dark brown liquor had a milder scent than the very aromatic dry tea. The nice scent translated well to a very flavorful and smooth creme tea with no bitterness or noticeable astringency, thanks to Adagio's special decaf process. A 6 oz. resteep, although milder, was very tasty too. This wonderful and versatile decaf tea will always be a staple in my tea stash!
This tea is wonderfully creamy and rich. I’m so impressed with Adagio’s ability to decaffeinate black tea and have it not be bitter.
It doesn't taste like much at all to me. Incredibly neutral. Nice enough at the end of a long day, but I don't think I'll remember it
Adagio cream teas are top notch and this decaf variety is par for the course. Smooth and excellent sweetened with honey!
Both my mother and I enjoyed this blend, especially in that it is virtually identical in taste to the caffeinated variant, which allowed for her to enjoy it in the evening without worrying about her sleep.
I love this tea with a few cookies as a dessert. Smooth and sweet, a lovely treat. It being caffeine free just means I can have it any time!
Decaf cream. You can really smell the cream before brewing. After brewing, you couldn’t smell the cream but the tea required no added sugar or cream for me, which I normally do add to black teas.
Have to preface with the caveat that I mixed this with another tea-- having visitors over and wanting a pot of something decaf to share we mixed the Decaf Cream with Decaf Orange-- the resulting brew smelled delightfully of orange zest sugar cookies warm from the oven, and tasted like a smooth black tea that had been lightly stirred with a creamsicle. Not a hint of bitterness or acidity at all. It was a pleasing combination to both the sugar fiends present and those who mostly avoid sweets.
Smooth, creamy, and rich! A decaf that doesn't taste 'decaf!'
Sweet and delicious! When I opened the packet, the smell reminded me of buttercream frosting. (This is a good thing. The brewed tea has a much milder smell/taste of buttercream frosting, which no doubt is also a good thing.) I like it on its own, or with a bit of milk ... but it occurs to me that it might be very good blended with wild strawberry tea, and I'm going to try that soon. Will report.
My favorite tea! It’s very mild and cozy to drink.
Still my OG decaf tea. I love mixing it in with the decaf fruit blends as well. It has a strong, rich taste and there's nothing like it.
This tea is divine! Wonderful taste and smells delicious!
Solid decaf tea with a good cream flavor. Mixes well with other teas to add some extra depth to the flavor.
Adagio’s Decaf Cream tea is fantastic! It has a smooth, rich flavor with a hint of vanilla that makes it incredibly comforting without being too sweet. The decaf base is perfect for an evening cup, allowing you to unwind with a cozy, creamy tea. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a caffeine-free treat!
Wonderful for a chilly fall day. Strong black tea flavor softened and rounded out with subtle vanilla.
I have a cup of tea every afternoon and this Decaf Cream is an easy, light choice. I have it with some milk and I can't wait to share it with my 10 year old granddaughter, who is a young tea-drinker.
I was so excited when I saw they had a Decaf Cream! If you are looking for a decaf version of the Cream Tea, this is not that. I love the regular Cream tea...it's one of the teas I drink on a regular basis. But then I saw they added cornflowers. I decided to reserve judgement and give it a try. This does not taste like the regular cream tea. Don't get me wrong, it's still really good! I actually quite like it. It has a great finish and (sorry this sounds pretentious) a soft mouth feel. I would have given this tea 5 stars, but given it is called 'Decaf Cream,' I would expect it to be a decaf version of the Cream tea. All that said, I really love this tea, and I will definitely get it again.
Less bitter than non decaf version, flavor is super balanced
Lovely, creamy taste. And a plus because it’s decaffeinated. Delicious to drink on a cool, rainy mid-west morning.
I blended this with the decaf vanilla tea for an uncaffeinated after-dinner treat, and it did not disappoint! A little half and half added to the creaminess of the experience, but you could absolutely forego the cream and just enjoy as is.
A great tea on its own hot, but blend with a desert tea and it becomes excellent. Best yet, blend with a fruit tea and make it iced a you have a delicious summer treat. My favorite is peaches and cream!
This is a great blend, either alone or mixed with other teas. As a bonus I find this brews great as a single cup (1 heaping tsp) in my keurig reusable pod
I love this tea by itself. But also enjoy it mixed with berry flavored teas. The flavor is awesome!
This is a nice tea for the afternoon or evening being caffeine-free. I used 195 F water x 3 min and added honey for black tea and 1 tsp cream.
Lovely for afternoon tea when caffeine isn't what your body needs. The name says 'cream' but honestly the flavor for me is strongly vanilla. Very nice, just stronger than I'd anticipated.
Mild tea, excellent flavor. I also mix with other flavors for an even more delicious tea experience.
I like this as a nice basic black tea. I enjoy it mixed 50/50 with the Decaf Earl Grey to add another dimension of flavor.
Because this is a delicious decaf, I have a cup nearly every evening. The creme flavor is natural, which is very appealing to me, too. It is perfect every time I steep a cup.
I feared this tea would be bland--not at all. It's smooth--delicate yet satisfying with a splash of unsweetened soy milk.
A new black decaf favorite. A nice vanilla creme flavor without dairy. Added a 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
I needed to find more decaf tea so tried a sample of this. It is delicious, creamy, and needs no sweetener. I plan to order more.
This is just the perfect evening tea! I'm inclined to black tea, but most of my blends are caffeinated. I got this in a sample and immediately fell in love to purchase more! It needs no additives and is just a sweet, soothing blend.
Update: Steeped for 90 sec at a lower temperature to prevent bitterness and astringency. Much better, I sipped it straight.

Creamy almost caramel scented. Not a cream flavor so much as a slight creaminess in texture, along with some astringency. It was better after I added milk and sugar, but just not for me.
Nice creamy buttery flavor. Nice way to end the day. Loved this still so good
This decaf is gentle and nearly sweet. Its scent is calming. I have used it to make a half caf with other black teas, but honestly, it’s really quite nice on its own.
A very Delicious smooth creamy tea. No sweetener is needed. Wonderful creamy aroma and flavor. I added a little frothed cream. Yum. . A very relaxing cup of tea
This tea smelled amazing and tasted great. I added sweetened milk.
So creamy and delicious! It was the perfect tea to unwind with before bed.
I keep this tea in my tea cupboard all the time to blend with other teas. I love the creaminess it brings to black teas.
For a decaf tea, it was quite nice. The 'cream' flavor comes across as a tad fake, but with some milk and sugar it blends nicely and makes a nice change of pace.
I love the flavor, especially for blending, but if I had to choose between this blend and the regular caffeinated, I choose caffeinated.
Stil tasty. :)
UPDATE: drank this one weeks ago because I knew I loved it. Still good.
delicious. a little artificial but I didn't mind. love that it's decaf.
A delicious smooth cuppa tea. Love all of Adagio's decaf teas. I think this is my favorite though. Nice iced in the summer and great hot for the cooler days. Super in tea blends.
By far my favorite and go to decaf tea. It’s hard to describe the flavor but it does have a hint of sweet cream taste but it’s very subtle and the tea is very smooth. It’s perfect for a light dessert after dinner without the calories.
mmmmmm, what a lovely surprise blend. I wasn't sure what to expect but there is this underlying creaminess to the flavors that works wonderfully.
take it or leave it take it or leave it take it or leave it take it or leave it take it or leave it
I used to buy the decaf vanilla, I recommend this one better. I absolutely love the smooth flavor of this tea, the cream and the cornflower work really well with the black tea to make soften the flavor.
I really like the Decaf Cream tea as a base for other flavored teas. I like to mix it with the decaf strawberry tea or a lemon tea that reminds me of a strawberry cream or lemon cream desert. The flavor of this tea tastes very much like Tahitian vanilla to me, which is very distinctive. I don't care for it in baked goods, but it is nice in this tea.
