Very good, makes me think of Christmas just with the smell! This is like a warm cup of Christmas just to drink!
Warming Ceylon black tea with fresh, cozy spices and orange. Zesty with a sweet finish.

Very good, makes me think of Christmas just with the smell! This is like a warm cup of Christmas just to drink!
This is the perfect black tea for Christmas! First tasted in the winter tea sampler. Great black or with milk and honey.
Some similar ingredients to the Oriental Spice blend but I prefer Christmas, it has more orange and less clove.
This was a great tea for the holidays. Smelled beautiful and made for a festive beverage every morning.
I found the cardamom and ginger flavors to really come through. Strong flavor in this tea but perfect for the Christmas season.
Each cup of Christmas tea is a perfect blend of spices and happiness. Relaxing you without making you sleepy. Full of flavor, a wonderful aroma to appeal to the senses as well as a beautiful blend to appeal to the tastebuds. This is one I can drink daily while on my computer, reading a book, gaming or crafting. Just a perfect blend.
This Christmas blend did evoke flavors from some of my favorite Christmas drinks, wassail, mulled wine, and apple cider. While the spices are present, they are definitely not overpowering. Overall, I enjoyed this tea and would drink again for special occasions.
The flavor is so vibrant. I love this tea in a cold day with a warm blanket. I would recommend if you like a stinger tea
Nice spiced tea for the season. I use it as part of my own blend of Adagio teas, which consists of green chai, and sleeping dragon, along with a spoonful of fresh grated ginger. It really hits the spot.
Called my sister last night and she recently received a Christmas gift from me of the sample tea packets. She loved the gift and now wants to order for her friends. Best gift ever.
I want to give this tea a higher review as I think it has so much blending potential, but despite brewing at a lower temperature for the recommend time it came out bitter. I don't know how else to word it, other than it was 'spice bitter' where it wasn't the tea leaves fault, but rather the spices. Trust me, I really wanted to like this blend, and I don't dislike it, but I think blends such as Oriental Spice are better balanced to my taste, (sadly that blend is on the chopping block as of this review). I always dislike giving bad, or meh reviews, so perhaps with some time, and different brewing/serving techniques I might find a way to enjoy this blend and give it an updated review.
Add a lot of cream to this, and it almost tastes like eggnog. It's like an orange chai sort of flavor. Sweet, citrusy, and very spicy.
This was delicious! Perfectly spiced. Felt like a holiday in a cup.
Warm, delicious, and cozy, like those mulled spices that are heated over the stove to scent and cleanse the home!
I bought this for my sister and brother in law in Oregon for Christmas. They said that they love it. I cant wait to buy more for other people as great gifts.
This smelled and tasted like Christmas. We enjoyed it on Christmas morning.
A warm spicy tea with bright orange flavor
It’s a perfect holiday blend to sip and savor.
I like to brew this on Christmas day
It seems extra special that way.
With a splash of milk and a sweetener add
This makes your taste buds oh so glad.
Carefully brew at one ninety five to avoid that dreaded steep overdrive.
Three minutes in your infuser will do
to stop any bitterness from coming through.
a second cup makes a very tasty resteep too.
My Ct packet had 3 grams with lot of orange bits.
Brewed 12 oz at 195* for 3 minutes before I called it quits.
A 6 oz. resteep with more sweetener and dairy
made another cup oh so merry.
2020 Dec. 20 This black tea is just what the doctor ordered for the holidays. It's a mellow spiced tea that is very smooth to drink and satisfying. With a bit of milk and sugar, this cuppa is a real treat. Be sure to leave some for Santa. I imagine he may leave you extra gifts for your generous spirit and good taste. Have a very Merry Christmas, tea friends!
It was a nice spicy cup of tea for Christmas Day.
Unfortunately my portion tasted of clove so strongly that I couldn't really taste much else.
Smells like spiced wassel but steeping on 204 for 3 minutes made it so bitter. Hot In the cup I smell tea, cinnamon, ginger, clove, orange, cardamom, but also apple. I added half and half & honey to bring down the harsh bitterness, came out drinkable after that. I'll try a lower tempature next time.
This tea is a festive combination of orange and spice that is perfect to drink around the holidays! This tea makes Christmas extra special!
A lovely spice tea in scent and taste. Enjoyed this morning on Christmas day.
I get the spice for a Christmas tea, but it misses for me.
Today truly does feel like Christmas in a cup! This is a wonderfully flavored black tea that feels like a Christmas kiss.
Dec 24: yeah just to much of something for me ; orange peel or cloves. Very holiday though.
update: well, I'm in the minority because I do find this very flavorful and tending toward bitter/too strong! However, this year 3 minutes was perfect (I wouldn't go longer). A friend gifted me Mariage Freres' 'epices de noel' this year which reminded me a lot of this and is also great; still had to have my Communitea on the day itself though. :)
I have this in the Winter box and I love it. I recommend lightly steeping because it gets bitter and some of the flavors are lost but it's just very very xmas-y and I will definitely be having it this morning.
This is Christmas time in a cup. Spicy and tart. Good with your family by the tree.
All the good Christmas spices in a cup! I absolutely love this tea on its own or in blends. Love the light orange notes as well
This tea was nice and cozy. It smelled great when I opened the CT packet. Once brewed, it seemed a bit heavy on the cinnamon, but I could also taste a bit of ginger and orange. Brewed for 4 minutes at 212 with a packet of splenda
Not one that I really like. I’m just not a black tea fan. Gave it 5 stars bc the favors are exactly how explained.
Smells and tastes great! I did steep for just under the recommended time
This tea is absolutely delicious and so completely the flavor of Christmas! It's like a holiday in a cup. This will be a perennial favorite for sure
Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something more Christmasy. This failed miserably. It was awful to me.
Who doesn’t love Christmas? This tea has been an absolute favorite of our family for years. We go between this and Reindeer fuel during the holidays!
this tea tastes just like constant comment which is one of my FAVORITE tea blends out there. the flavors are perfectly blended to recreate it and it makes me so happy to have a better quality version of my favorite tea
I was so happy to find Adagio had a Christmas tea and it wasn't yet Christmas. It is a tea I can drink all year around. I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas tea. I love the spices!
Oh so spicy but tasty. This tea is perfect for those who enjoy black tea with a kick!
This is one of my absolute favorites. LOVE the flavors that come through the longer you steep it. I could drink this every day all year round.
This tea is not for me. The spices overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. I prefer something with a stronger cinnamon flavor, but I just didn't get that from this tea.
My favorite tea!!! Every tea from Adagio is just amazing.
The Christmas tea from Adagio is a festive blend that captures the essence of the holiday season with its warming spices and citrus notes.
Its aroma alone will fill your home with the cozy scents of Christmas, creating a joyful and relaxing atmosphere.
The flavors in this tea were a little much for me. I have to add sugar and milk to tone it down. This makes for a heavy, fattening drink, so, I will only drink this one on occasion.
Exceeded my expectations. Good balance of flavors.
One of my favorite holiday teas…and there are so many wonderful ones.
This tea wonderful for cold afternoons; just a hint of sweetness and spice. I love it all year long.
Great tea! It tastes just like Christmas, with great seasonal flavors. It is especially good with cream and sugar.
This one tastes like it says…Christmas but in a cup! Delicious!
Delightful holiday flavors. Most enjoyable with sweetener and milk.
Love this holiday blend all year! The spices are so warm and cozy
This tea was overly spiced with all the wrong spices :( not really enjoyable unless drowned with milk and sugar
Smells very strong, but lives up to the name of Christmas.
I like having this tea at Christmas time! Last Christmas I had fun mixing this with other Adagio teas like Cozy Candy Cane, Caramel, and Chocolate Truffle.
