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

Sweet and creamy. Stronger flavor than I expected.
This tastes like a light black tea with maybe a slight sweetness. I don't really get cream.
Hot, I was not impressed. Could taste the cream with some bitterness following it. I added oat milk and the taste improved a little. Cold, I loved it. Good cream flavor with no bitterness. While this won't be a staple in my house, I would drink again cold.
I was out of clean cups today. And my infuser was dirty. I had to brew like my grandpa used to back in the day. A good clean sock in a cereal bowl with some piping hot water right from the tap.
Long story short, the tea was good, mild cream flavor with the standard black tea. And my one foot is cold.
Has a delicious cream flavor without being too in your face. This is a great blend to add to other blends as well.
I smell vanilla from the dry tea leaves. 2 min @ 165. There is medium astringency and faint bitterness. Not for me but probably much better with milk and sugar.
'what does cream taste like', i asked myself as i looked at this listing when deciding to pick up this month's communitea box.
Vanilla, apparently
Unlike some other flavored teas, this tea allows you to taste the black tea. The cream flavor smells stronger than it tastes, and I believe it accentuates the bitterness of the Ceylon black tea. A little sweetener can bring out the cream flavor more, but I do not recommend making it too sweet.
Elegant and comforting! The decaf version of this one is one that has a home on my shelf year-round. This one is a little bit more astringent, but it’s great too. You get the rich and robust flavor of Ceylon black tea with a touch of creaminess. The result is a decadent and satisfying cup of tea that is perfect for any occasion. The Ceylon has a full-bodied and malty flavor, with hints of citrus and spice. The creme adds a touch of sweetness and richness to the tea, creating a smooth and velvety texture. The creme flavor complements the Ceylon black tea, enhancing its aroma and taste. The flavor is subtle and balanced, not overpowering or artificial. This blend is a great choice for any time of the day, whether you need a morning boost, an afternoon break, or a relaxing evening.
The cream flavor really mellows out the astringency of the black tea. Smooth and easy drinking.
Totally unexpected this is yummy!! I thought I didn’t like black tea but this is the second one I really do like. Very mellow and smooth and not at all bitter. A new favorite!
Pretty darn smooth, and it's a great supporting character in a blend. I enjoy this tea in every iteration. Steeped 3 min @ 195ª.
UPDATED from 2/28/22: Yummy tea. There is such a creamy, caramel-y sweet smell as the CommuniTea packet is opened. I steep this at 200ºF to let the party begin. The black tea bitterness hits my nose. Adding ¼ teaspoon sweetener to 10 oz helps remove the bitterness. Adding heavy whipping cream allows the tea to be sweet in the mouth, with a soft, full bodied mouthfeel, and slight astringency on the tongue. However the finish is clean. (3 mins @ 200º F + sweetener and cream).
I love this tea! I’ll be using this tea from my stash so that I can give my packet away for someone else to enjoy
A very nice black tea, smooth with a flavor profile of marshmallow more so than cream, (according to my taste buds!). I love blending this tea, it's a dream to blend with, but on its own it's not a tea I would reach for very often.
CommuniTEA packet tasting, this black tea has a creaminess that adds a bit of depth and warmth to your cup. Sweetens up nicely. Adding milk or cream elevates the flavor. This one blends well with other teas. Happy sipping!
Edited review on Nov. 30 second time around I really liked this much more than originally, It really is smooth, creamy, and delicious.
Original Review:
I was not the biggest fan of this as a solo tea, I think t is much better suited as a mix but it was still ok.
This is a tea to add to other teas than one to have on it's own. I like the fact I can get the taste without using real milk which might curdle in the wrong stuff
An amazing addition to any flavored tea. Vanilla and Cream? Delicious. Hazelnut and Cream? Always a winner. Kentucky Bourbon and Cream? How can you go wrong? Truly a staple in my house.
Wonderful afternoon treat, also great as a cold brew iced tea
I love cream and a smidgen of sugar in my tea and this black cream tea gives me a double shot! I love mixing this with black, white and green teas!
My absolute favorite of all Adagio teas. Very smooth and satisfying.
This tea is ok. I typically use it to mix with other teas to add a bit of cream flavor and some more caffeine.
a very smooth rich flavor. I enjoy the after taste. I have a cup in the evening,very relaxing. I find I let sit for a bit before drinking. it seems to taste fuller
I love the cream tea. Nice flavor. Neutral and I sometimes mix with another flavor. I love the smell.
Not one I drink solo, but I use it frequently in blends, a small bit goes a long way. Very nice blending tea.
I like having Cream on hand to enjoy by its self, or add it to another to make a custom blend. I like to add it to Oriental Spice, Vanilla, and Honeybush.
Exquisite tea that elevates my tea time to an art form. Sublime taste and unmatched quality. Recommend!
I've loved the smoothness of so many blends with cream in them that I decided to try a sample of the cream on its own and it's just as lovely as I expected on its own or added to other teas for a quick custom blend.
I love how this reminds me of Coffee Mate's French Vanilla creamer. Only 4 stars because it is a fussy tea: too long a steep and it is ruined. Brews ok on 2nd steep.
This is my go-to breakfast tea in the winter months. It is subtly vanilla flavored and rich tasting.
I have tried probably a dozen different cream teas from a dozen different vendors, and this is my absolute favorite. My morning cup is a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon of the vanilla tea and 16oz water. I sweeten with a touch of honey. This is so stinking good.
I generally don't add sweetener to my teas, so when I do want something that tastes more sweet, I really like this tea as an option.
Cream is in my top 5 favorites. Rich, indulgent. I add a wee bit of milk. I brew this tea when I have time to sit, relax and savor every sip.
This has a nice smooth flavor that both works well as a supporting ingredient for blends and as a stand alone flavored black tea. Adding a bit of raw honey for black teas made this a heavenly dessert!
I love this one! I love mixing it with a fruit flavor to get a 'raspberry cream' type flavor. It's also delicious on it's own
We have been drinking this tea for more than 10 years every night. Adagio teas are quality teas no mater what tea you order. Their shipping is fast and very reasonable. If you are a tea lover adagio teas is where to go. If it is tea related they have it and their website is very easy to use.
I would highly recommend adagio teas to anyone.
Hands down my favorite tea on Adagio. Everyone I’ve give a sample of this tea to has loved it. It’s creamy, slightly sweet and damn near perfect. I honestly sigh and relax every time I have a cup.
I tried the decaf version of this tea and loved it. The caffeinated version is just a tick stronger and just a s delicious. A perfect cup of tea when you are feeling indulgent.
A delicious light tea, I like adding this to other black teas to add move sweet flavor
Enjoyable if not a bit basic, but I usually add a bit of milk to my black teas so perhaps it was not as noticeable to me, however it definitely was a bit smoother/creamier than my usual cup
This tea is absolutely tasty! I enjoy it in the mornings due to the high caffeine content. I discovered through a sampler and had to order it!
This is the tea that turned me on to Adagio teas. I got it as a part of a sampler set and I just couldn't get enough of it. Tastes just like cream and is supremely satisfying for people like me that normally can't have much dairy.
As others have suggested, this tea isn't the most exciting on its own. It IS lovely, and if you prefer tea with less complex notes this cream tea is perfect. But it is particularly well suited to mixing with other black teas, where it mellows strong flavors and adds a creamy richness. (You may wish to be cautious of over-steeping this one, otherwise it makes a STRONG cup of tea.)
I like this cream flavor. I has a soft vanilla like flavor that can easily be blended with just about anything. Kind of reminds me of a sugar cookie without any extra frosting or sugar on top.
I have yet to have this on its own, but I've been adding it to other flavors and I'm in love. I don't add cream or sweetener to my teas, and this just adds something extra that really makes some adagio teas incredible. So far my favorite combination is Tiger Eye and Cream!
Can’t get enough of this tea. I’m hooked on keeping a big bag of it in stock, especially for use in blending with other scraps of tea I may have.
I use this as to blend with other teas, and it adds great depth & sweetness. I'm about to order it in iced tea portions as well.
This is a little plain on its own, but I adore it mixed with all my other favorite teas!
The cream flavor is alright but definitively artificial in my opinion.
