Smooth and pleasant, with a soft flavor that makes it very easy to drink. I liked it well enough, although it didn’t leave a particularly strong impression on me.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

I brewed this tea at many different temperatures and steep times to dial in the cream flavor without having too much bitterness. I also tried varying amounts of tea. It tasted best to me with 2 tsp at 200 degrees for 5 minutes. I wish the cream flavor was more pronounced. I might try the vanilla flavor tea to see if that's better.
I received a free sample of this tea, and it really took me by surprise - enjoyed straight, it actually tastes like it has cream in it! I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a bag.
This is a crowd pleaser for a reason! One of my top dessert teas from Adagio it is perfect with soy milk and honey.
This is absolutely fantastic!! I bought a small amount just to try. I ended up purchasing a 16oz bag. I highly recommended this tea.
Smoothing-A bit harsh but mix it with other flavors heightens its flavor. Honey is a lovely additive.
Delicious. It’s sweet, rich, with no bitter aftertaste. The flavor is strong enough that I can mix it with chocolate tea leaves, which makes something marvelous. Add a bit of honey or turbinado & you have an amazing cup of warm coziness
Wonderful! Really does taste just like black tea with about a tablespoon of cream, minus having to deal with the extra ingredients.
Update: I now keep this tea on hand as an ingredient for my personal London Fog blend, as well as add a little to teas like the one described below. It's perfect for blends!
This tea was good but I wouldn't consider buying it all the time. However, when I added it to the Earl Grey Lavender, it enhanced the flavor considerably. I've also started blending my own 'London Fog' and this tea is part of that blend. So, perhaps that will work for you as well!
Smells of vanilla. It had this wonderful, creamy mouth feel. But, it was too bitter and astringent for me. Sugar helped with the bitterness, but also covered up a bit of the cream taste. Next time (if I remember), I'm going to brew it at a lower tempature. Might come back to given it another star if it's better at the lower temp.
I am, however, quite looking forward to blending with it, as many others have suggested.
One of my favorites! The cream flavor is strong and smooth. A very decadent tea!
Nice smooth black tea. Tasted well rounded, especially with a packet of sugar substitute. Since I tend to add milk to most teas, I probably won't buy this again but it's good.
Love the fullness of flavor of the creme. This is my husband’s favorite!
This tea turned out to be exactly as described. The scent and slight flavor are very creamy. I found it to be delightful and delicious.
The perfect tea if you like something a bit creamy. This tea tastes so comforting and warm, perfect with a splash of milk.
I got this when the pu er hazel berry was unavailable. It was surprisingly good. I'm sure I will order it again. It's a good one to mix with other teas that are too strong or bitter.
I love the light vanilla hint in Cream Tea. I drink it very often. It is good with flavored honey.
A very subtle flavor difference over straight black tea. I'm really enjoying this new flavor. Glad I tried it.
This tea just tastes like black tea. I have yet to try it with milk or a sweetener but i’m holding out hope for this tea!
I love this tea! Has great flavor and body! Its delicious with or without sweetener. I love cashew milk in mine.
I was not expecting to love this so much! Coffee makes me too jittery, so this has been perfect to wake me up. The strength of the cream flavor is well balanced, almost like a diluted sweet cream coffee creamer? I haven't tried putting a smidge of milk in it yet but it we would be a great combo.
Smells warm and sugary- tastes creamy and smooth. A big hit- will order again! A favorite- both in full caffeine and the decaf version. I give this as gifts often- everyone loves it!
Love the flavor have reeoderd many time including decaf version
Like the vanilla tea, this one works well with an afternoon treat. It is so smooth and flavorful. I like to alternate with the vanilla and confess to sometimes mixing them to brew.
This is delicious. I don't take any sugar in my tea and don't usually like flavored teas at all. This, however, is a nice exception for the occasions when I want a dessert tea. It's sweet, though. I usually will blend it with a plan Irish breakfast to toe down the sweetness.
Absolutely love this tea! Smooth mellow vanilla flavor and aroma makes this tea one of my favorites. I also love to mix it with other teas to create my own special blend. Goes great with white chocolate peppermint tea or vanilla.
Next to the chocolate, this also a big favourite. I love the creaminess of it. So delicious!!
Great flavor and a very smooth taste. I will have more than 1 cup 🙂
So smooth and delicious. I add a teaspoon to other teas as well - blends well especially if I want to add a bit of caffeine.
This blend is a very subtle flavor. It was alright, but I typically look for something stronger out of my flavored teas. I could see it being good for when you want something soft and palatable though.
I enjoy how understated and versatile this tea is. I like that I can enjoy it without sugar and/or blend with what I'm drinking for the day.
This tea is a wonderful addition to any other tea I have had. It adds a sweet creamy feel to my cold brews, meanwhile I prefer to add actual creamer to my hot teas.
Almost all of my favorite blends have this cream tea as an ingredient, so I thought I'd try it by itself. DELICIOUS! The cream flavor is smooth and, well, creamy, but not overstated. It enhances the tea without calling attention to itself. I think it will become a staple in my tea cabinet.
This cream is a new favorite of mine. I tried it and immediately fell in love with the creamy richness of this tea. I will definitely buy this tea again. Best with a bit of honey. I just ordered more. Try this tea with friends.
The tea base is very tannin forward. It has a biy of a bitter taste i don't care for. The cream finish is nice. If you want a bold black tea this is a good choice.
Delicious alone or add to another for a soft cream indulgence.
I loved this tea so creamy that I mixed with my Earl Grey to create an Earl Grey creme. Now that is a good cup of tea!
I enjoy adding 1/2 tsp Cream tea to Earl Grey Supreme and Scottish Breakfast tea. Very nice in a blend.
This tea was forgettable. I hoped the flavor would be rich, in lieu of strength. I just wanted more from this tea.
I love this tea. For a 16 oz cup I just used one heaping teaspoon and a little sugar. Very smooth.
Nothing special. The "cream" flavor has a very strange after taste.
This is delicious, especially as an iced tea. I brew it in my fridge overnight, and it's delicious with a little sugar. So smooth!
My new favorite!! This is why I continue to try new Adagio flavors! I can put down the Caramel for a bit and change things up with this. Softer notes of cream soda in my nostrils and tastebuds. I really like to subtle flavor with black tea definition. A solid choice to try.
This tea is excellent alone or mixed with another flavor, like blackberry. I liked both iced and hot. Definitely will order it again.
This is really sweet and yummy, even the time when I accidentally over-steeped it. This is the type of tea that would go really well with a spicy or floral blend.
I hadn’t tried this one on its own given the other reviews on how well it pairs with other teas, so I ended up brewing it with some of the berry blast blend. I really enjoyed it! It added a nice malty depth to the otherwise sweet/tangy flavor of the berry blast, with some smoothness from the cream. An unfamiliar flavor at first, but pretty great after a few more sips.
What a lovely cuppa! Smooth, simple, and not too sweet, it's a nice twist on a classic flavor and a great pick-me-up when I'm feeling under the weather.
The packet had a sweet vanilla aroma. I brewed it according to directions then cooled it down. It has a nice toasted marshmallow taste with only a hint of bitterness.
I cold brewed this tea all day and tried it in the evening and it was excellent both hot and cold. It’s very refreshing this way and didnt seem bitter to me at all when cold brewed. I would happily have this tea again.
Steeped for 9 hours, just added room temperature water to tea and steeped in the fridge.
I overnight steeped my Cream sample as It's extremely hot and humid in my state. I found this Cream tea to be very smooth with a strong vanilla flavor and loved it. There was no bitterness or astringency at all. I did not add sweetener to my tea. It was quite a refreshing treat to sip.
