I adore the cream tea, especially when combined with the Earl Grey Moonlight, since I love an extra boost of cream flavor.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

Very good tea. Similar to the vanilla in many ways (which I also love)
This te is okay on its own. I can see really liking it that way if you enjoy black tea with milk/cream. But I *LOVE* this mixed with another flowered to. It adds a huge amount of depth to the tea. My current favorites are Raspberries and Cream hot (2parts Raspberry. 1 part Cream) and Coconut Cream (equal parts Coconut and Cream). Both of these are like dessert. Even my 2 year old daughter enjoys them when she steals some of Mommy's tea!
This is one of my favorite teas to blend with other teas.
Wonderful hot or cold. Creamy with hints of vanilla. Sweet and beautiful. Definitely reordering
This is a wonderful tea. I originally purchased this as part of the 'Sweet Tooth' sampler set, and immediately knew I had to have a larger bag! It's delicious on its own, but like the other teas from the 'Sweet Tooth' sampler, I love it even more when used in combination with other teas! I like to brew up a little of this with my other favorite blacks, like Irish Breakfast, Peach, etc. Absolutely wonderful. This is going to be a staple in my tea cabinet!
This tea is a perfect base for adding other flavorings and creamers. The smell and taste remind me a bit of cream soda. Such a good tea to have in your pantry!
One of my favorites for a simple hot cup of tea - it has a soft and smooth mouth feel which is a nice contrast to the spicier teas we often drink.
This tea is 'good,' but not really what I had expected. I thought it would have more of a cream flavor. I didn't find that this tea stood well on it's own. Mixed in with other teas, it's fine. But I could just add a little of the real stuff if I want to do that. Still, it won't be wasted, as I have a many ideas for it. But I won't be ordering this one again.
Love this tea! It is just right for any time of the day. Mixes well with other teas but I've found I like it best just brewed for the 3 minutes on its own and nothing added in. The aroma brings in memories of tea with my Nana. Can't beat that combo!
I'm still working on really 'getting into' tea and this tea is just delicious.
I love the richness and depth of flavor this adds to my earl grey bravo that I blend it with. Great recommendation by an Adagio associate!
I used 1.5 teaspoons in 14 oz of water. I added just a little stevia. The result was a wonderful smooth, creamy, sweet black tea. I really enjoy this in the morning. The cream comes through with just the right bit of intensity. The underlying black tea is not superdyanamic but mellow and predictable.
Nice light black tea with an amazing creamy scent. Would be great to mix in with other black teas to mix up flavors.
Very heavy cream flavor, best mixed with other teas. BUT, with a shorter brew time, it is pretty awesome.
Sadly, my husband is allergic to something in the flavoring. He has an allergy to honey and anything derived from such. As such, I CAN NOT in good conscious keep it in the house.
Love this tea. A taste of sweet cream, but not too sweet. Yummy mixed with other teas too!
love it, I also purchased the almond oolong and love it too
I was hoping this would be creamy but I guess I was expecting something that it was not going to do.
My absolute FAVORITE Black Tea it's very smooth. Love it with a couple of tablespoons of sugar and very hot water. It doesn't need milk
A nice tea. Not quite as flavorful as I had hoped for, although I am not quite sure what it was I was hoping for it to taste like.
Not a bad tea. Good if you don't like adding milk, sugar, or honey to your teas but want something sweet once in a while.
I really enjoy this in the morning. It is very smooth with a subtle cream taste. Only bought the sample but will definitely add this to my list of favorites.
I don't know why, it's probably me, but I get a medicinal taste from the flavoring in this tea. First I mixed it with with a strawberry tea and thought the mix clashed, but then I tried it by itself and found it's just the way this tea tastes. My husband doesn't think it tastes medicinal though. He said it just tastes like black tea.
I wasn't a fan. It't just generic black tea and when I order from Adagio I usually get amazing tea.
I decided to start Whole 30 for the new year, which has been ROUGH on this tea drinker because I have always used sugar and half and half in my tea. Everything I've tried has been SO bitter and completely undrinkable. This is the first tea (I think this was number 9?) I've tried that I can actually drink plain. Very smooth, not bitter. I'd still love some sugar, but this is going to help me survive Whole 30!
I'm not really a fan of the cream flavor by itself, but this was great with eggnog and I expect it would combine well with other flavors too!
Great by itself and great for mixing! Super light and calming.
Super delicious. The cream is mellow and adds a very delightful underlying taste.
As promised, this tea is very creamy and pleasant! It has the flavor of a nice, homemade whipped cream, and is noticeable and comforting without being overwhelming or heavy. Very nice!
My caffeinated favorite tea - I keep ordering it! The smell is creamy (!), sweet, and earthy. It's a wonderful dark tea that tastes wonderful with a bit of milk and honey. This tea is comfort in a cup.
Found this to be a very nice flavor, enjoyed it more than the vanilla flavor. I only ordered a sample but will be ordering a larger bag. It's a nice addition to any 'Earl Grey'
This is one of my favorite basic, every day teas. It has just enough cream flavor to be noticeable, but not so much as to be overwhelming. You can still taste the actual tea. This isn't something I would prepare to sit down with and really pay attention to the subtleties of the flavor, but if you want an enjoyable tea to absent-mindedly sip on while reading a book, this is one of the best.
I use this tea as a blend with many other teas. It's very smooth and takes the bitterness out of some of my black teas. I like it best with fruity teas to create the mix of flavors.
I gave this tea to a friend as a gift so I have not tried it myself. She says 'it is wonderful'.
This tastes like the extra milk poured on top of a bowl of farina (cream of wheat) to cool it off, after the farina has been slightly burned and mixed with sugar. It's like a tiny bit sweet, scalded milk for me. I also get a slight nuttiness sometimes. This tea is probably best in a blend, but it's tasty on its own, too.
This is delicious. I have enjoyed it by itself and blended with stronger teas. Very smooth
This has a great taste. I would buy this again. It will be a regular staple.
I wasn't sure about the flavoring at first, but it's started to grow on me.
It has a mellow flavor that does not really need cream or milk as I usually add that to black teas.
Delicious! It's great by itself or mixed with other flavors!
this has been a favorite of mine, for years...milk and sugar make it perfect dessert tea
It's not bad but is not what I expected. I'm drinking it and it's OK but I won't buy it again.
A great tea for blending to add a creaminess, but not so much for drinking straight. Just a nice creamy breakfast blend.
This tea is wonderful. Very simple and comforting, but with a smoky sweetness that almost reminds me of the smell of good pipe tobacco. I feel like I'm at Grandpa's house.
I'm not a fan of the smell but once I sipped it I found that it was ok. I usually don't add any sweetener or milk to my tea but this one kinda needs it IMO.
My sister came over and asked for a cup of plain black tea. This was the closest thing. Poured it for her, she LOVED it. Best endorsement I've heard! I love the way this smells.
This tea is very mellow and pleasant and has just the right amount of sweetness. It's good on its own, but it's also very nice when blended with stronger teas. It has a lovely aroma.
Similar to the black Vanilla - I really like mixing this tea with other flavors, like Orange.
Love it!!! Balanced taste with no need of sweetener or milk.
This was a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law, who is impossible to shop for. She loved it! She gave it two thumbs up.
