Nice cream aroma in the pouch. Subtle taste of cream after steeping. Smooth black tea with an astringent finish.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

I was expecting to find this boring or to say it's best only used in blends, but I really enjoyed this cup! The dry aroma smelled of sweet cream, and reminded me of something familiar... not vanilla ice cream, but almost like a homemade birthday cake, not artificial, just a slight touch of sweetness and maybe the lightest bit of vanilla. Don't know exactly, but the flavor makes me a little nostalgic and works well with the ceylon. Nice with just honey to sweeten it up and accentuate the cream flavor. I added some vanilla almond milk halfway through, wondering if it would drown out the cream flavor, but instead the almond milk supported the cream flavor. I got two great steeps out of this! I love how CommuniTEA gives me a chance to try teas like this, that otherwise I'd only taste in blends. (3 mins @ 195º)
I love this one to help with sweet tooth so I just bought a pound of it lol.
Could not really taste any of the cream flavors. Just like a normal black tea :/
I like this as a mixer. I didn’t enjoy it at much on its own but still decent
Just as advertised. Smooth black tea with creamy notes. Good but I personally prefer the Earl Grey Moonlight.
A nice black tea that is well rounded. It can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
Ok by itself but makes a great addition to other loose teas to mellow strong flavors or boost the smoothness you're looking for.
Not a favorite! Not enough cream high notes. Bland flavor
This wasn't as strong as I was hoping it would be, but it's a nice addition to other teas.
This is great for mixing with nutty flavors or fruity black teas. I like to have this one in my tea supply always.
Continues to be my daily favorite. In fact it is time for a cup now. Thanks for offering Cream Tea.
The aroma of the tea leaves and the tea liquor are amazing, carrying a strong marshmallow sweetness. However, the taste is not really there. In my opinion, the taste is a simple, weaker black tea. I think this would possibly be liked by those who are just beginning to discover the world of tea, or like to add sugar to their teas and serve as sweet teas. (I did not add any sugar to this tea)
it does taste creamy and smooth..will order this one again
always a nice addition to some other teas for a cream addition
Love the flavor. Tea novice and it is the first that I can say that I love!
Amazing flavor. Very enjoyable. This is great hot or cool.
Great with half and half and a dollop of whipped cream.
The cream tea is wonderful blended with the blueberry, cherry and caramel teas.
I mix this with all my chocolate, hazelnut, roobios, and vanilla teas. Delicious addition especially with honey.
The smell of this tea as it's brewing is amazing. It fills the entire kitchen and smells like you're baking dessert. Wonderful!
A great everyday tea! The scent is strong when you first open the bag, but the flavor is subtle, not overpowering - smooth and creamy tasting.
I thought I was ordering Earl Grey lavender. I do not like the flavor at all; unfortunately I have enough to feed a whole school!
We had this tea a few years ago and liked it, but we were disappointed this time. It's doubtful they changed the ingredients, I guess we're just more experienced tea drinkers now, having tried a LOT of teas. If I didn't see 'Cream' on the bag, I would think it was just a plain (unflavored) black tea. Well, maybe a little better than that, but... Anyway, it's better if you put real cream in it - but doesn't that defeat the purpose? ;-)
UPDATED 2020SEP: This is our 3rd time trying. The flavor isn't real strong, but I could tell it was cream on the first steep this time. Second (4 mins) did lose all flavor, so we added real cream again. Also, needs extra sugar.
This tea is great mixed with other teas. It provides a creamy taste to the tea. I mixed it with Earl Grey Bravo and it tasted great!
it s not my first choice, but it was fine. Probably better mixed with other teas.
One of my favorite teas to blend with. It is very smooth. I’ve mixed it with other flavored black teas, as well as tisanes, which create some awesome berries n cream/ peaches n cream flavors. Being dairy free makes this an excellent alternative to adding milk to teas!
Haven't tried this on its own yet but it makes an excellent addition to other black teas.
Has a palpable vanilla flavor and smooth body that makes this a fantastic morning tea with a bit of milk and honey--or a bit of sweetened condensed milk on a day where you need a serious pick-me-up.
One of my favorites to add to other black teas! A must have if you like that creamy flavor and caffeine!
This is perfect! I love b?ack tea, especially in the morning, and I use less added cream since this already has the taste of cream added! A morning favorite!
Delicious and even better with a dash of cream or milk
Delicious, smooth, creamy black tea--great on a cold morning!
This tea is thoroughly addictive - I've been drinking it nonstop with milk and honey.
I really like this cream tea. If you are a vanilliaa person then you will really enjoy this cream tea. Added flavor would include french vanilla creamer. Yes, I love vanilla that much.
Great cream flavor. I like to mix this with other black teas to add a hint of cream. It is great with chocolate and coconut!
What a light an smooth tea! After having the tea 'Badgers Blend' I ordered some of the individual ingredients as teas. This particular one is a very light black tea (tastewise) and I love it! An easy desert or stand alone tea for sure.
You can do a lot with it. It’s nice plain, lovely sweetened. Unsweetened with cream is just right for a nice continental breakfast. Sweetened, with cream added is by no means overkill...it’s a sumptuous dessert. I also plan to blend it with other flavours. I can see this becoming my new staple.
Fragrant & bold , yet smooth and creamy .
A tuneful melody to your palate.
exactly what you want in black tea. the creamy flavor balances out the bitterness of the black tea making it very smooth
This is my favorite of all the teas I've tried from Adagio.
Simple, soft and creamy! It adds a touch of warm sweetness when added in a blend, but it is also lovely on its own.
You can't go wrong with Cream tea. It's the perfect additive to any sweet blend. It has the caffeine punch and aftertaste of a black tea but the smoothness of an oolong. Naturally creamy and enjoyable. Adding a bit of sugar helps invite more of the delicate sweetness to your taste buds.
The tea is decent, but the 'cream' tastes a little artificial. Black tea with real milk would probably taste better.
I love this brewed with other teas to add that hint of milk without needing to keep milk in my house. Perfection.
I didn't expect for it to taste so simple, just black tea and cream. I thought it'd have a hint of vanilla. But that's fine I won't have to add my own cream separately now.
Creamy flavor blends well to black teas, very nice
A really delicious go-to tea with breakfast! One of my favorites!
Mix this with your Earl Grey Moonlight 1 part cream and 2 parts Earl Grey Moonlight
It's good, It's cream flavor not much more to say. I use this to add cream flavor to my other teas that say cream and I feel they should have more cream.
