Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

I got this tea as a sample to try because I was intrigued by another review who recommended combining it with Summer Rose. It is delicious blended with that floral tea. I also like it combined with Chocolate Chip for a chocolate-and-cream flavor - but it's also good on its own. Definitely has a mild creamy flavor and even more with a splash of milk. I steep it, like most of Adagio's teas, for less than recommended in order to get the flavor without all the astringency.
I like to mix this with the chestnut tea. Sweet and creamy with vanilla notes. Can brew twice, but the second infusion lacks 75% of the flavor, still the underlying leaf in this blend provides a drinkable if mild second cup. I find this is enhanced by the addition of sweetener and cashew milk but it stands on its own as well.
The dry aroma is quite pleasantly chocolate. The tea tastes very lightly of cream. I am not a fan of the bitterness at the end of the sip/aftertaste. Adding a half teaspoon of rock sugar crystals mellows this out a bit. I much prefer this in a blend.
This is my go-to right now. I love a straight Ceylon, and I love creamy/sweetness, so the combination is great. I usually put half-and-half in my tea, but I don't need it for this; just a bit of sugar to bring forward the cream flavors. The first whiff out of the bag has a bit of artificial flavoring, but I don't get it coming through in the brew.
Quite good! A great way to get a creamy hint of flavor without adding actual cream to your cup. This one is a great accent for blends as well.
It s pretty good with sugar and milk but it s not a very flavorful tea. I was expecting a little more creaminess/vanilla to show through
I don't drink this tea often on its own, but I do use it a good bit to blend with other teas and it is fantastic to soften other flavors. I especially enjoy it with berry teas and chocolate-flavored teas.
This is so good and cream without the need for dairy.
This wonderful tea is one of my favorites along with other black teas - Caramel, Summer Rose and Raspberry. A flavor of this tea has weak-medium intensity, and although I prefer teas with a more pronounced smell, I still love it.
adds alot of sweetness to any tea. i love combining it with other teas to make it sweeter
delicious. I look forward to trying it mixed with other flavors.
Definitely very good on its own. Smooth and strong, something to sip while curled up with my homework. Needs next to no sweeteners or cream.
The Ceylon base for this tea is wonderful; however, the cream flavour was almost nonexistent.
Love this tea, I add a bit to any Adagio chai teas and it's amazing!
This tea is amazing; it smells so good, and is delicious with a little milk and sugar in it.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this one as I bought it on a whim and saw actual cream was an ingredient--but it's like a strong and crisp darjeeling with notes of Cadbury Egg!
I bought this mostly to blend with other things, but it s very good on its own too! When hot, the cream flavor is a little more subtle, but as it cools down, it becomes more noticeable. It seems pretty natural tasting too - not very artificial.
This tea shines in blends though! It adds just a small bit of creaminess to whatever tea you mix it with without overpowering the other flavors. I like it with any of the berry teas - especially cherry.
The cream flavor is subtle, so not too overbearing. Overall, a nice flavor, that makes a change from traditional black teas.
Honestly, when I saw there was a tea that was flavored like cream, with no actual cream added to it, I thought it sounded weird, like weird enough for me to not want to try it, for like 8 months of me perusing this site for new teas to try...then I placed an order and thought, you know what, I might as well try a sample and see how it goes, right? Never know until you try it, all that, yeah yeah. I think in my mind I was anticipating like a watery creamer kind of thing mixed with tea, I don t know exactly, but for whatever reason I was not expecting this...a lovely scent liken to that of sweet cream ice cream, and a flavor that is reminiscent of adding a dollop of ice cream to your cup of black tea (note to self, that sounds pretty amazing too, try that at some point, yes I get weird with my tea additions)! So, I can finally see why people like this one so much, and since I *think* it is also available as a cold brew, I might just do that and try it cold as well, see if it has more of a cool, icy creamy effect that way. I plan to order more of this at some point, it may just become an add in tea for stuff that is flavored but could use a little bit of a creamy aspect or a boost in black tea.
Subtle cream flavor. Adds smoothness to the tea flavor but does not overpower the tea. Nice. I will purchase.
I basically add this to every black tea now. It's especially lovely in the afternoon with my English Breakfast. Just mellows it out in a great way!
Nice on its own and can also be mixed with other teas to create unique blends.
I got this delicious tea in my 12 days of teas this Christmas and I fell in love with it! It tastes like marshmallows but without the guilt. I loved it so much, I ordered a full bag of it. :)
Really delightful flavor, especially love that it's vegan
I love this tea! It’s a strong, solid black tea with a touch of cream flavor. It’s a perfect tea when I’m taking a break from Earl Grey.
Sweet and a slightly creamy texture. I sometimes blend this with other flavors, like vanilla.
I love this black tea, especially when I mix it with peach or vanilla. It has a mellow cream flavor and is tasty by itself too.
Just can't seem to enjoy it, having it by itself as well as adding a little to other teas to no avail
Slight cream flavor, not too overbearing. So good with a little rock sugar!
This one met my expectation and more. Has a sweet and creamy flavor that is not overpowering but not subtle. Will definitely buy again.
The smell of cream is not over powering and the black tea is smooth.
It's a good tea. I didn't get a very strong cream flavor by itself, but it does come through better with some milk added. It's a very smooth and slightly sweeter black tea. Not a must have for me, but I might get it again in place of the other standard black teas sometime.
When first opened it smells more of black tea than anything else. It's one of those middling flavors that can really complement and round out a blend, but is relatively forgettable by itself.
The cream flavor didn't come through as strongly as I would have liked and it wasn't as round/full as I would expect for a cream flavor but still not a bad tea.
I use this to blend with other flavored black teas, and although on its own it can be brewed at 212 F without issue, the teas I blend it with have an issue of bitterness at higher temperatures so I just brew it at 160 and it tastes rich and delicious, with an enchanting aroma. I'll definitely be ordering more of this soon.
On its own, I’m not a huge fan. But it’s quite good to combine with other flavors such as a chocolate, truffle, or butterscotch.
I have this on its own occasionally but I usually add it to one of the Earl Grey blends or to the Kentucky Bourbon or coconut tea. It s more for the aroma than the taste because I always add cream to all my black tea. It makes it smell like I have a double-shot of cream.
Love the subtle hints of cream. I can skip putting milk in my tea with this one.
I had gotten this in a sampler set and went through it quickly! Glad I am stocked on one of my favs!
My go to tea.. so simple and balanced. Has a great creamy finish
The cream tea is one of my favorite flavors, I will be purchasing again.
You can't go wrong with cream it mixes well with just about anything
I tried this 50/50 with blueberry for a blueberry cream flavor. Delicious!
Delicious tea. I plan to make a blend with another fruit flavored tea that I have.
Wasn't sure what to expect but it was good. Very smooth for a bold tea.
It s my current favorite. It s smooth but strong, with a comforting flavor. Love it!
This tea is smooth with a lovely cream flavor. The flavor isn't artificial tasting like similar flavored teas I've tried from other brands.
I don’t care for this tea brewed hot, however, this is a tea that is fabulous when cold-brewed. I enjoy the concentrate with oatmilk.
Smells absolutely heavenly but I wish its flavor was a strong and delightful as its smell
I'm in love with this tea. Just the right amount of cream flavor to make it comforting, without needing to add anything. A perfect cup to end a long day at work.
