Very sweet and mild, beautiful scent, tasty with some milk and sugar.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

Very sweet and mild, beautiful scent, tasty with some milk and sugar.
Nice and light, though the cream only appeared as an aftertaste. Not really a tea I'd drink on its own but it'd be good with a spicy tea.
This is a very smooth tea and does taste very much like tea with cream. It's a bit bland to drink straight, though.
Smells very butterscothy- the smell is stronger than the taste though. It was good with cream and sugar, but I'm not sure the name 'Cream' is quite fitting.
Oh goodness, the SMELL of this tea should be illegal! I find myself just opening the package and taking a whiff when I need a little pick-me-up. It smells amazing while it's steeping and the tea itself has that creamy sweet taste, but just enough to not be overwhelming. I enjoy this tea by itself and it is marvelous blended with other teas as well.
This tea smells delicious! My shipment just came in, along with a cream sample and a vanilla sample. I mixed 1tsp cream with 1tsp decaf vanilla and 1tsp chocolate and steeped it in a paper filter in just boiled water. The smell was great, but it was a little bitter- I had to add 2 packets of sugar. I have yet to try it on its own, though.
Very soft and light smelling. Sweet and lovely, I really enjoyed it.
It just got delivered here about fifteen minutes ago. Made a cup right away, and it's one of the smoothest teas I have got. In the bag, it smells of whipped cream, and keeps that sent after brewing. I hope to mix it with other teas to bend its lightly sweet flavor. No milk needed.
as per most teas i've tried from adagio, the smell is amazing. however, once it is ready to sip it is not that sweet - leaving you room to add a sweetner or not (my preference). good dessert tea.
A slightly sweet, good, tea. Nothing too special, but would be a nice change to your usual vanilla favorites.
This tea is really, really sweet. I love it for a dessert tea and the flavor does not taste artificial. I like to blend this tea with some other teas to mellow the flavor, if I drink it in the morning.
It was pretty good and I didn't find anything offensive about it. I personally prefer a standard black tea like fujian baroque. The light cream flavor came more as a scent and doesn't compete with a pure black tea for me.
This tea did not disappoint with its wonderfully smooth, rich, and comforting flavor. It's perfectly sweet for dessert or just a simple treat.
The cream flavor was pleasant, but not overwhelming. I usually steep for about 5 minutes and add milk - it's a pleasant dessert alternative, and it's a nice base for other flavors as well (I've mixed this tea with a Celestial Seasonings peach tea bag, and it was quite tasty!)
This has an excellent smell in the pouch, but isn't as sweet as I'd expect from the scent. It does kind of remind me of sugar cookies. I bet it can probably be made sweeter with some additions, so I will keep experimenting with that!
The cream tea is soft and sweet and goes great blended with other teas as well.
This is my favorite tea at Adagio. Smooth and slightly sweet. A perfect compliment to an afternoon scone or lemon cookie.
Tried this tea with a bit of sweetner. Very nice taste, and certainly does taste of cream. Not as smooth as when actual cream/milk is added, but a good alternative.
Very smooth tea. It's amazing with a bit of sugar if you like sweet teas. I'm not usually one to blend but found this was very good with a bit of adagio's black vanilla tea.
Maybe not an all day, every day tea, but definitely delicious if you're in the mood for a treat. I have a feeling I'll be drinking a lot of this over the winter.
Pairs very nicely with the vanilla and the almond.
Not as good as I expected it to be. it tasted a bit watered-down on its own. Not bad, but underwhelming nonetheless. However, mixing it with the Black Dragon Pearls is delicious! I will continue to buy this tea for that reason
This tea is great blended with different teas such as the hazelnut rooibos and any fruit tea. Very light tea by itself which is great!
It was pretty good. The smell and aroma had this overwhelming sweet cream smell but when I tasted it, to me it needed one packet of stevia sweetener for it to replace dessert.
I would pick vanilla over cream, but it's still a nice tea to mix with maybe an earl gray for a creamy feel rather than flavor
This tea is not as good on its own, but it is great when paired with other teas as a base. I'm going to try something fruity to pair it with next.
I love to mix this with my other black teas for a creamy taste! Lovely~
I liked the way this tea smelled, but it reminded me that I don't usually like black tea all that much.
This is a great base tea that mixes wonderfully with just about any flavor. It tastes good alone as well.
A great, smooth black tea. Goes well blended with many different teas.
I bought this to blend with other teas, like earl grey (for my own earl grey cream) and chai (perfect for the lactose intolerant). Love it!
The cream adds a nice balance to an otherwise basic black tea.
I had high hopes for this tea, but I don't really taste the 'cream' part of it at all. It does smell nice though, and is not a bad black tea, just nothing special.
I'm completely in love with this tea! The flavor is sweet, soft, and creamy without overpowering the flavor of the black tea. It makes a very gentle and relaxing cup! It is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
This is a great blending tea. I've tried it with vanilla green, a couple diff earl greys, chai, and hazelnut. I've enjoyed them all.
Loved this! When it was hot it was strong and smooth. However, it got very bitter as it cooled.
This tea screams 'I'M CREAMY'. Less than half a teaspoon of this tea goes a long way. That being said, the cream tea can easily overpower other teas in a blend. I've also noticed that this tea can become bitter VERY easily. Paying attention to how long it steeps is a must. Other than that, it's delicious with milk and combos well with other teas for an extra creamy kick.
Oh my God... This tea is so amazing. The smell is nothing short of heavenly.
It really does smell creamy - and despite my reservations, it is quite distinct from vanilla. It smells like super-sweetened whipped cream or perhaps cream soda in the bag. Brewed it is soft, sweet, and smooth. Not a fan of it by itself but it makes for wonderful blending.
Like other reviews on here, a great tea for mixing. I will say it doesn't work as well with fruity teas, but blends really nicely with chais and strong blacks.
I love how smooth the cream tastes. It's definitely a favorite -- a great way to make black tea easier to the taste. It's also incredibly fragrant and soothing.
I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. I generally do not care for black teas but this one was great. It smelled rich and creamy and had a nice full bodied taste that was smooth and rich.
I love this tea on it's own or blended. It really taste like cream :0)
This tea is so good! The name cream sounds very ambiguous but that really describes the taste of this tea well. It's smooth, creamy, warm... it's a good any time tea!
I go through this tea really quickly, although it starts to get a little sickly sweet with multiple cups. It's my go-to choice for serving friends.
Can barely taste the cream, and whatever I do taste is not very enjoyable.
Very nice cream flavor is great for blending with other teas.
This tea tastes pretty good, but I was expecting it to be a bit more complex. The cream flavor almost overshadows the black tea and adds a sweetness that is a tiny bit cloying for my palate. It's good for a cup or two, but it isn't something I could drink all day. It smells amazing though.
This tea is so much better than I expected it would be! It's light and sweet enough to drink on its own. I enjoy having it after coming in from the cold or after dinner.
This tea is fantastic when blended with other teas. By itself its not bad, though the cream does come off a bit strong. Good to keep around to blend with other flavors.
Black tea, and it's got cream flavor? I had to try it! I was a little skeptical when I smelled the leaves before I brewed, but once it was brewing, I couldn't wait for the tea to be done. I added sugar and cream like most of the reviews suggested, and it's so so sooooo delicious! Warm and comforting, it's like a hug in a cup.
