This tea is amazing. It’s got a great flavor and the taste is excellent. I only wish it came in decaf since I don’t drink caffeinated tea very often.
A deliciously Parisian blend of black and oolong teas, with sweet pomegranate, vanilla, and light touches of bergamot and caramel flavors.

This tea is amazing. It’s got a great flavor and the taste is excellent. I only wish it came in decaf since I don’t drink caffeinated tea very often.
Tastes a lot like Harney's Paris blend, which is also fruit + vanilla, caramel and bergamot. Like that blend it's also a little light for me. It's nice enough but I find I have to use more than a teaspoon to get decent flavor out of this.
Really nice floral fruity flavor, a nice indulgent treat. A good tea for dessert or whenever you need something sweet.
Oh this is absolutely delicious. If you want something sweet but don't want the extra sugar, the vanilla and caramel flavors will do you right, while the bergamot and pomegranate keep it from being TOO sweet. It's a very smooth and pleasant blend. If you like earl grey but want to try something new, put this in your cart now. It's fairly forgiving but I would still err on the side of a cooler temp than 212, to better let the oolong shine through.
This tea was a delicious sweet and fruity take on Earl Grey. The EG isn't as strong in this as it is in some other blends but it is distinctively there. The caramel, vanilla and pomegranate addition help to take it into something a touch sweeter and a bit fruity.
Review based solely on ingredients listed. I was excited until I hit pomegranate - that killed it for me. But it did look good. CT 12/9/23.
A very strong stout tea. Pretty good flavor. It was okay
There aren't enough expletives in the world to describe how much this tea knocked my socks off. WOW! The fruity pomegranate with the bergamot and caramel is just to die for.
A great black tea, I like earl grey, it has a fruity taste to it to and a little caramel and red cornflower.🫖☕️
A pleasant black tea with a gentle touch of pomegranate. Loved the bergamot in this - played very well with the fruity flavours!
This is a nice light tea, although it seems a little too floral for me to have on a daily basis. That makes it a good tea to have as a treat. I’m not sure where the floral taste is coming from for me. I thought there were rose petals in the tea but that was not the case. I would be happy to drink it again.
April in Paris is meh... I suppose it's just me and bergamot. We are not always friends. So, if you like bergamot this tea is for you.
I really enjoyed this tea, it did in fact conjure up images of walking through Paris in the spring. I steeped using 195 F water x 2 min 30 sec. No need for sweetener, it's lovely!
Solid but unremarkable. It smells fantastic but the pomegranate is almost completely lost under the caramel, though a bit of honey helps.
First and foremost the pomegranate in this blend is really good. The cornflower also melds well with it. It is easily one of my favorite black teas on this site.
Earl Grey is one of my favorite teas. I have loved every blend out there. I have been enjoying this tea for a while now, but I have yet to review it. This blend is an interesting twist with the pomegranate and vanilla notes smoothing out the bergamot. This could be the Earl that most may enjoy since it doesn't have that sharpness to it. I have never been to Paris, but I am sure I would enjoy it as much as this tea.
UPDATE: This is still one of my top ten Adagio faves. Oolong, vanilla and pomegranate come together splendidly. Caramel is not needed, but can hang around if it wants to. Sipping this one just makes me happy!
Very lovely tea party tea! The pomegrante and vanilla come thru nicely. I did not taste the caramel, but this tea doesn't need it anyway. I could sip on this all morning.
I always like trying Earl Greys with a twist - and I really liked this one! It was softer and smoother compared to the standard Earl Grey, and the undertones of pomegranate flavor added some nice, bright fruitiness.
A new favorite after only one cup. I really enjoyed this blend! I will definitely order this one again. It feels like a sweet and fruity indulgence, something that would be offered at a fancy tea house with macrons or other treats. A perfect dessert tea on its own.
This is a pleasant Earl Grey tea with a light bergamot flavor. It's sweet and fruity.
I've had this both straight and with milk added in and enjoyed it both ways. The main flavours I get from it are the pomegranate and oolong, which are solid flavours for a tea that ends up feeling whimsical.
Not my favorite. It's a bit flowery and astringent. If you like earl grey, give it a try. Just doesn't really fit my tastes.
This was a very enjoyable black tea. I did not think that it tasted very much like an Earl Grey tea. The bergamot was pretty light.
This is a nice twist on the usual earl grey formulas. The pomegranate gives it some tartness and the vanilla adds sweetness. Not as powerful as some other earl grey varieties I’ve had.
Such a nice and flavorful cuppa, the vanilla and caramel are what I tasted, maybe some pomegranate but not sure. I could drink this one anytime.
I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. It's not my fave, but I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up to it if offered it again. I may actually purchase some. I think the flavor could really grow on me.
I love this one! I got it as a bday gift and loved it. Still enjoying that pouch. I sampled this tea again as part of the CommuniTea December 2023 box.
Delightfully bright!
Freshly polished copper shine
Rich texture and taste
A romantic blend
Full of flowers and dessert
Fun and flirty notes!
(Haiku Review)
The dry tea leaves smell like a sweet caramel candy, but not overwhelming. I don't get any bergamot aroma. 2.5 min @ 165 Still a sweet caramel scent but much lighter. The taste is mostly black tea with a touch of sweetness and maybe a hint of the pomegranate on the aftertaste. Surprisingly I don't get any bergamot. Mild astringency but no bitterness. I would steep for a shorter time if I have it again so it's a lighter brew, but it's not for me.
You know it, I love Earl Grey teas, so I love April in Paris even in the middle of December while homebound. The aroma is sweet and floral, with hints of citrus and spice. The flavor is smooth and balanced, with a rich pomegranate sweetness and creamy vanilla. It will transport you to the City of Lights on a fine April day, even if the weather is not so sunny. C'est magnifique!
A sweet and deep bergamot flavor enveloped with vanilla and just a touch of floral and fruit notes. I enjoy black teas with interesting flavors and this has a nice balance of them.
Surprisingly delicious. I received my first taste of this after receiving a free bag. I then realized I needed to buy it. It’s not often that I find something so perfect that I’m convinced I need to buy more that same day. It’s a bit fruity, but floral, and sweet with caffeine for the go go win.
This is a tea that really benefits from half a spoonful of sugar to bring the flavors out. With sweetener, the fruitier pomegranate flavor begins to emerge, alongside the mellower caramel. Not a lot of bergamot, which is sad for me in an earl gray, but still a fine cup of tea on its own.
Visually, this is a gorgeous tea to watch brew, so if you’ve got a transparent pot or cup, i recommend using it. Tea packet has a lovely fruit- floral aroma. 3 min at 210ish F. I enjoy more subdued earl grey blends, so this is a nice one for me. Nothing really dominates over the other so it is a nice meld of flavors. I did add a bit of skim milk to this one but I could drink it right from brew.
This is a romantical, swoon-worthy, woo-ing blend! J'adore Pink Cornflowers! Not overly Bergamot, whatsoever, at all. Caramel notes, Black & Oolong, Vanilla come through. Perfectly Pomegranate--just a smidge in the background...all come together for a cup of Parisian Love. I enjoyed this prepped as a Frothy Frilly Tea Latte!
For me, this tea tasted more like an Earl Grey with some caramel flavoring. I was intrigued by the description, but the actual tea is a bit disappointing. The package said pomegranate flavor was present, and maybe I can smell it in the aroma. Taste it, though? No. I do wonder if those claiming to taste it would really know it's there if they were no told about it. The oolong tea, however much is present in the blend, is lost to the black tea, which is rather astringent here. So basically, this just tastes like an astringent Earl Grey with some caramel notes and maybe some vanilla.
Oh, la, la! This blend is tres magnifique! It was the right move to blend oolong and ceylon together as the minerality of the oolong helps contain the astringency of the black tea. Mon amour, that is always the right move! The blend flavors of caramel, pomegranate, vanilla and bergamot are compliments parfait. C’est delicieuse! I added sweetener as I always do with flavored blends. Drink this blend and dream of strolling along the Seine! Bonne Gorgee!
Read Angelic's review. It sums up my opinion of this tea.
But seriously, though I can sometimes pick up on the pomegranate, I find that there's just too much going on in this tea and the bergamot gets lost. That's hard to do with bergamot, but this blend does it. If one isn't overly fond of it, then this would be a good option. (3 minutes @ 200F)
I tried this tea when Adagio had its recipe site up and running. I wasn’t a huge fan of it.
This is a tasty black and oolong tea with floral and fruity notes. The tea itself is beautiful with red cornflowers amid the tea leaves. While there is bergamot in the mix it doesn’t overpower the cup because there’s pomegranate, vanilla, and caramel flavors included as well. I thought this tasted good without any sweetener but I ended up adding some raw honey just because I prefer a sweeter tea. This reminds me of a tea I used to drink a lot from another company called Paris, but this Adagio tea tastes better. I steeped at 200 degrees for 3 minutes.
It's too flowery and bergamot-y for me, so I gave it to my husband and he's enjoying it. If you're an EG fan, you'll probably like this tea. Steeped 3 min @ 195ª.
This tastes so much better than the ingredients predict. ( I am not a fan of Earl Grey teas). The red cornflowers add such a spark of color in the infuser. After adding ¼ teaspoon of sweetener (to 12 oz) and some cream - the flavor of this tea is fresh and spring-like. The bergamot does not make it bitter and the vanilla and caramel come through in a fresh and lively way. Delicious tea, I feel as if I am walking in Paris on a spring day. ( 3 mins at 200ºF + sweetener and cream).
This tea is nice but it tastes a bit too artificial for me. I am not a huge earl grey fan so that may be part of it.
Despite not being a big Bergamot fan, I really enjoy this tea. The vanilla and caramel soften the sharp edges of the citrus flavor, and the pomegranate adds a lovely sweet fruitiness. It’s really a delicious blend and very pretty with the little pink flowers. 🌸
Really enjoy this tea, love earls regardless, but a fruity Earl is always a special treat!! Vanilla, pomegranate, and bergamot work ever so well together!
Absolutely brilliant. Love the fruity notes on top of an extraordinary black tea. This is the perfect tea for any occasion.
This tea is pleasant, but odd. I don't think this tastes anything like pomegranate or bergamot. Mostly, it tastes like a rich caramel. Strangely, I thiink this one tastes more like caramel than the caramel tea does.
Subtle and creamy. All of the individual notes are there, but none of them really stand out more than the others.
Very sweet, but a lovely dessert tea, especially with some steamed milk. Can be a little saccharine.
Absolutely aptly named. This is one of my new favorite teas. It genuinely takes me back to springtime in Paris.
