★★★☆☆
This one is better mixed with other teas than it is on its own... sometimes the smell of it is a little Play-doh like, which I don't care for. The flavor is fine, basically just a slightly more vanilla-tasting black tea.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

Love this one... Just a very nice, mellow, perfect-for-a-cool-morning tea that's in my regular rotation.
This tea is just so nice. It feels like a tea that coffee lovers would like, but I'm not a coffee drinker, so I wouldn't really know. The unsteeped tea smells divine on its own, and the flavors stand so well without any sugar or added cream, though I'm certain both would enhance it.
I've been getting this one for a while and I think Adagio might have changed the cream flavor they use? The cream flavor in the latest bag I got is very reminiscent of vanilla frosting without the vanilla flavor. It reminds me of cake. Still good, but if you've been drinking this one for a while you might be surprised with your latest batch.
Like the flavor. Smells like cream in the bag, not a super strong flavor but just enough for me
212 degrees for 5 minutes. This cream tea is good on its own, but where it really shines is when you start blending with it. It mellows and sweetens any blend you grace it with and smooths out the sometimes sharpness of Ceylon. Excellent stuff!
An unexpected hit! This tea is a perfect comfort on a cold morning by itself or blended with others.
Nice creamy flavor. Add a little sugar, and makes a nice basic cup.
This one is just mediocre. It's not bad by any means there's just so many epic teas to try from adagio and this one is just OK. The cream flavor doesn't really come through. I think this one could be a fun one to blend with other teas.
Tea smelled like fresh whipping cream prior to steeping. This is a nice, mild cup of black tea that is smooth and silky in the mouth. I may try this tea in a cold brew because I think it would work well that way.
Great way to add a milk flavor without lactose or loosing out on flavor. I've been having fun mixing it with other teas that I would have usually added milk to.
An absolute favorite of my best friends. He fell in love with it and drank the sample in two days. This tea is wonderful black or made into a latte with a bit of freshly grated nutmeg on top. Love it!
Never had a adagio tea I didnt like honestly. This cream tea is a great addition to your staple tea collection. Perfect for mixing up.
This is my favorite flavored Adagio tea. The medium bodied tea balances well with the delicious vanilla cream flavor. It is a smooth, sweet sip.
Typically, I drink a pot of breakfast tea in the morning, then Earl Grey or Vanilla in the afternoon - not necessarily a lot of flavored teas. But, I thought that I would try this one, and I really enjoyed it. Wonderful, smooth flavor that does not overwhelm the tea. This might be my new choice over Vanilla, but I would bet Vanilla and Cream would be great combined too.
My Favorite of all. Most Delicious! I Highly recommend this tea for its smooth perfect flavor
Excellent for blending with other teas or drinking alone
I don't usually like black teas, but this one is great. The cream flavoring is very subtle and delicious
Another subtle flavor that blends well with fruit black teas.
Such a lovely smooth tea. It is better than the other brands I have tried. I never want to be without this tea.
This tea is so fantastic. The smell is so good, I sometimes open my container even when I don't want a cup. The flavor doesn't disappoint either.
A nice simple tea with a smooth mellow flavor. Goes great on its own or would blend wonderfully with a variety of teas.
Very mild - just as advertised - black tea with cream
A very rich tea! It's a great treat now & then, worth trying
Wonderful and tasty in a blend, I usually pair it with vanilla and adagios chocolate chip tea.
I am obsessed with this tea. I have a dairy intolerance So the idea of having a tea that I could mix a little bit of into my other teas to make it taste like I had some cream in it was really appealing. But then I started putting it into other teas I wouldn't normally even think of putting cream in and it just tones down the intensity with a sweet and creamy flavor that's almost impossible to express. It's kind of mind-blowing!
A favorite! This is my go-to comfort tea. I like being able to brew up something with very little fuss. Great with a sweet treat, and good iced, too!
I did not detect a true cream flavor. I thought it had a hint of chemical flavor. I gave my opened bag to a friend and went back to mixing Adagio's vanilla black tea with my flavored teas.
Nice subtle flavor, it's nice when mixed with berry teas.
This wasn't my favorite. I've tried mixing it and on its own and I found it to have a very acidic undertone that I couldn't get passed. I've seen many great reviews and I recommend to try it for yourself as my tastes might be off or perhaps I need to try some different combinations
Helps to mellow out some of the more intensive teas
Smells amazing when you open the pouch. Not quite as much cream taste comes through but the aroma makes up for it. A very warming cup of tea.
By far my new favourite tea. I found steeping it with just boiled water was too much, it pulled too much of the black tea flavour and the cream is lost. But oh my steep this at a lower temp and oh is this delicious! So so soooooo good. Just truly wish they made this in a decaf version, for now I guess I’ll stick with the vanilla decaf and patiently wait for the decaf version of cream🤞. SUCH a delicious tea. It’s my go to to reach for when I want a cup of tea, hands down.
I don't really like this alone. I always fine myself adding cherry juice or jam and making a fruit tea.
Delicious! I put some cream in it and its a treat!
This is a really nice tea, and one of my favorites to drink in the winter. It's got a nice body and is a bit more interesting than drinking a standard black tea, so I reach for it quite a bit. 200, 4 minutes, black.
So delicious and perfect with a little honey and cream.
The underlying tea base here isn't my favorite but I really enjoyed the cream flavor.
I prefer this at a weak concentration as I find it potent. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for about 1.5 cups of fluid. Excellent flavour. Quality black tea with just a little something 'extra' when you want a little fun but nothing too wild. Tastes a bit like drinking a shortbread, if that makes any sense.
Update: this is currently my go-to. It's a fantastic drink to have on daily rotation, and I use it as a break from when coffee is too much for my stomach.
Nice on its own, but I also like to mix this with other flavors of black tea.
Love this tea. It's subtle but a key ingredient in many of our blends. It's perfect with vanilla or chocolate. We add it to caramel, butterscotch, almond, hazelnut, pretty much anything because it rounds out flavors really well. We found that we like our other teas better with some cream tea.
This is a very light milky flavored tea. It's incredibly relaxing. The flavor isn't overwhelmingly strong. Very relaxing.
This one missed the mark for me. It was a little bitter.
I add cream to this tea making it a delightful addition in the morning.
Nice...just a smooth black tea. I enjoyed it brewed with other teas to take advantage of that smoothness.
Awesome cream tea flavor. This cream tea has a great balance of the black kid and the sweet cream flavor
A simple but sweet tea that you can't go wrong with! Perfect for those with a sweet tooth.
Really love this one. Very mild with just the right amount of cream, a fun flavor! Aroma upon opening is fantastic.
I wish the cream flavor was more pronounced, but it smells heavenly and it's great for adding a subtle, well, creaminess, to other teas.
I was expecting more. It was slightly sweeter than anticipated. Too sweet for a breakfast tea and not enough for a dessert tea.
