My favorite so far. :) Perfect mix of spices and flavor.
Warming Ceylon black tea with fresh, cozy spices and orange. Zesty with a sweet finish.

My favorite so far. :) Perfect mix of spices and flavor.
I was exited for this one, unfortunately I found the cardamom flavor a bit too strong.
Lovely and cinnamon-y! Great to warm up during the winter. :)
Bought this as a gift for a friend and.asked her how she like this tea
Here is her response: 'The.Christmas.tea was phenomenal! It tasted chai-like...thanks again!' So I would say this is a fun seasonal blend for your friends and family!!
I did not like this blend at all. It smelled ok - kinda like an old time christmas store, but it did not appeal to me at all once brewed.
Very nice, smells a lot spicier than it tasted, which was a pleasant surprise. Smells like Christmas!
Very cinnamony flavor, completely loved it especially when cold outside.
I didn't like this one at first, but that's because I drank it straight. Mix it with some heavy cream or milk and it became a fantastic, spicy latte. Great.
Not sure why I bought the sampler of this, given I'm not into Christmas-y tasting things. Still, it definitely does what it says on the tin.
Very spicy and warm. We usually drink Earl Grey Bravo, and this was a nice change for the holidays.
I have always used Constant Coment tea and enjoyed it. A friend in work told me about Adagio Teas, I ordered a sample of the Christmas tea and have been ordering it ever since. There is no comparison with the Constant Coment, I had no idea of what I was missing. Best tea, perfect blend of spices. Thanks for a great cup of tea.
I waited until Christmas to try this. Lots of spices and feels warm.
Nice festive tea! Lots of spices make it a warming tea. I found it very pleasant to drink.
Smells like Christmas! Even a sort of tree-like taste or maybe I'm imagining it. Don't skimp. I found that for a full body I needed a generous teaspoon for each teacup (not actual measuring cup) of water. Usually I just sort of eyeball the water in the kettle and press.
This is a lovely tea. perfectly spicy, completely festive. It reminds me of my how my mom's house smells during the holidays...this is not a bad thing. One of my co-workers also adores this, and drank my entire last sample pack of it. So I'm back for more for both of us.
This tea doesn't really scream Christmas at me like I hoped it would. I didn't really find the cinnamon in it, and overall it seemed too weak. I tried using more tea, steeping it longer, and using hotter water, but it just never gave the flavor I was looking for. I'll finish the sample pack, but probably won't order it again.
One of my favorite teas! The mix of the apple cider type spices plus the orange is pretty much everything I love about christmas flavors.
It was a little strong on the flavoring for my taste.
I'm told it was OK by the person who receieved it as a gift.
Smelled like Christmas. I liked it okay, but it was not my favorite. This is why samples are great!
This one smelled amazing but I am not entirely sure if it really reminded me of Christmas...I think I was expecting something else but it was still good for a spiced tea.
This tastes like Christmas should smell--cinnamon and spice. Yum!
A lot like a basic chai, so I tend to dress it like a chai. I also used it to mix with a peach tea to give me something sort of like a peach pie, which I highly recommend.
Just 'OK'. The smell of the tea in the bag was heavenly...SO yummy! Once it was brewed, it was lacking something...a kick or something. Just not anywhere near as good as the smell hinted it would be. I may try to brew the next cup stronger with more leaves. Just 'ok'
Update: I brewed it with more leaves, this helped some. What REALLY helped was squeezing a slice of orange into it while hot...this improved the flavor a good deal.
A seasonal favorite with the spice and smell of the holidays.
Tastes like Christmas, what more is there to say. A really good tea for the holidays.
I bought a large bag of this and included jars of tea in the Christmas gifts I gave to coworkers. Everyone loved the scent of the tea, and those who have tried it have very good things to say. I thought it was nice but it wouldn't be one that I order throughout the year.
This tea should be renamed 'Christmas *punch*'! It wasn't just a Christmas blend, it was a 'HEY WE HAVE SPICES AND NUTMEG AND CINNAMON AND YOU ARE IN FOR A HOLIDAY TREAT!' so good!
Yep, it's basically Christmas in a cup. Great for those cold winter mornings. I also served this to my family on Christmas with our breakfast and they liked it too :)
This is one of the first teas on Adagio that I was certain I would like and did not. The flavors did not mesh together well and I had a hard time discerning what the flavors actually were.
While I personally did not like this tea (one of the spices, not sure which one, does not agree with me), my mother and sister both loved it. I am sure this is a very tasty tea. it smells fantastic in the bag!
Drinking this right now, really nice and lighter than I expected. I'm not usually enticed by heavy herbs like clove, as it usually assaults my nose and my poor taste buds. But it surprised me and I really enjoy it. Perfect for a cold winter night reading the books I got for Christmas! :)
A decent ginger tea with notes of cinnamon. But the tea seems weak compared to the ginger, and ginger doesn't strike me as a particularly christmas-y spice. Nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom seem more seasonal. But there's nothing wrong with ginger tea, it's just not what I was expecting. I might really learn to appreciate this when fighting colds this winter and spring.
A great strong tea enhanced by the spices and aromas you associate with Christmas - not overpowered by them. My sample just arrived on Monday and it is almost gone already.
You know, I try this every winter hoping for something different. This is basically a chai, which is fine, but a little heavy on the cloves for my taste. I'm happier just getting a regular chai.
Love the spice and warmth of this tea, seriously. Love it. That's all I can really say, it's holiday in a cup!
As far as cinnamon-y teas go this is pretty good. It really does smell like Christmas. I like cinnamon but I don't like really overpowering cinnamon in my tea and that's how this tastes to me. I'm sure if you love cinnamon you'll enjoy the tea more. I am finding myself increasingly more disdainful towards this kind of tea when I used to really enjoy it. I love the smell, but vanilla oolong is more fitting to my tastes.
I love this blend! The cinnamon and orange are just perfect for the winter cold. Not too much citrus and not too spicy, perfect for Christmas.
One of my new flavored teas! And a surprising one for Christmas too. This is the orange blend I have been searching for. The orange doesn't overpower the other elements, and the cinnamon bark and cloves keep it from being too citrusy while the orange adds depth to the cinnamon. The black tea itself gives it all a very strong, full-bodied, but not at all bitter backbone. Perfect for any time of year, but especially nice during the winter. Outstanding!
I liked it, despite the fact that I'm not a huge Christmas fan. The smell is phenomenal.
My first try did not give much flavor. So, for the next batch I used more than the recommended amount per cup. This time, the flavor was good. The aroma was wonderful and I enjoyed the brew very much.
This tea surely gives you the taste of Christmas in a cup. However, a bit potpourri-ish.
Very nice cup, tastes something like a milder chai to me. The orange peel is very strong in the bag, but once brewed it falls more into the role of an undertone. Definitely something nice to sip on during the holidays.
This tea smells absolutely delicious in the bag, I love the cloves. Once steeped, the smell is much lighter and it was great without sugar.
It has a chai smell to it when you open the box, yet the flavours blend deliciously well. Sweet and a bit spicy, it is just like Christmas in a cuppa!
HOLY GINGER, BATMAN! Not refreshing ginger, either.. Powdery, bitter ginger flavor. It's like this tea tried to be a ginger snap cookie, but someone was heavy handed in the baking. Other than that, the tea itself is good and the other flavors are discernible. But. dat. ginger. It smells great in bag and brewed, but the taste is average.
Given as a gift, so I don't have a ton of advice for this tea.
I absolutely love this tea. Definitely one of my favorites. The scent reminds me of the cinnamon pine cones you can buy at Christmas time. Tastes great with a little sugar and a splash of milk.
Review update: Just ordered a second, larger bag of this. This isn't listed as a chai tea, but it really should be in my opinion. It's the best Chai tea I've ever had.
wonderful my whole family enjoys it. It is great with or without cream
A good strong tea, just not really suited to my tastes
