This is okay, but boring to me. It's great with blends and earl grey moonlight. I was really looking forward to this. Make me wonder how Vanilla tea will turn out.
Classic Ceylon tea touched with the flavor of fresh cream. Sweet and warm, pleasantly brisk, delicately creamy.

This is easily my new favorite tea! It’s sweet and dark and strong, and absolutely perfect
Sipping along with the CommuniTEA: honey and vanilla notes noticed from the dry ingredients and packet. Once steeped for 3 mins at 190°F, I notice a honey-ceylon notes with vanilla. When I take a sip, I detect vanilla bean cream with honey notes followed by strong mouth-drying astringent black tea tannins.
This is the first time I’ve had this tea solo and not in a blend. It’s not bad on its lonesome, but I do think it works best when combined with others. The sip has a nice velvety smoothness and slightly sweet taste that is enhanced when you add sweetener. I think some monkfruit or sugar is necessary to pull the flavors forward. It was enjoyable to finally experience this tea standing on its own. Happy Sipping!
Absolutely love this tea. The sweetness and creamy levels are just perfect. Needs nothing more added to enjoy.
CommuniTEA Sample: Very nice cream flavor for a tea that has no cream in it. I was a bit surprised by it. Brewed it at a lower/shorter temp/time to smooth it out and it was a nice start to the day.
The tea is very sweet and not bitter at all. Th aroma was delicious a nice gentle tea.
I've enjoyed this in blends, but on its own I find it a little artificial tasting... Even though the ingredients list says 'natural' flavour.
If I want cream in tea I add it. I think this is better in blends than on its own.
Great tea!
When I opened my CommuniTEA packet, I was greeted with a sweet creamy scent. This tea is delicious in blends, but can also stand on its own. It is slightly sweet, very creamy, and I now have to buy some!
this is a very nice tea that i love in many blends. this is my first time trying it solo, and i'm enjoying it's vanilla/marshmallow vibe very much. while it's excellent both hot and cold, i'm liking it best cold and sweetened.
I noted this tea's lovely sweet aroma immediately when I opened my packet. The taste is a bit like melted vanilla ice cream...but seems a bit artificial tasting. For me, this tea is just ok...and for whatever reason I don't like it in blends. For me, it just makes the taste odd. Not a tea for me...but lots of other tea peeps love it.
14 Nov 20 communiTEA review: Moderate cream and mild black tea dark chocolate aromas were noted from my communiTEA packet this morning. I decided to do a lower temperature steep to stave of any black tea bitterness. No milk products were added because I wanted the cream flavor to stand on it’s own.
When hot, a mild, but acceptable dark chocolate bitterness was noted. Cream flavors were weak. So I decided to add a little sugar to tone down the bitterness and bring cream flavors forward. When warm, moderately smooth and creamy flavors came forward and were very tasty. Mild chocolate bitterness tastes were still present at the end. This was a really nice sip, but one I wouldn’t want to drink on it’s own everyday. This is one of those flavored black teas that are better left for blending with others. (3 mins @ 190ºF, 1/4 tsp sugar)
On its own, the tea is nice as it gives off that familiar cream flavor without the need of the real thing. But I have to say I prefer it better when used in a blend as a complementing tea would enhance its flavors. That's just my personal preference, but it's definitely good however you prepare it!
This tea is good in the sense it's like vanilla or a marshmallow but I prefer it in blends, rather then solo, I just feel like I'm drinking and something is missing. It's good though, I just wouldn't choose it to drink alone.
This was a very smooth black tea blend with creme. I added frothed milk. This would be a good base tea for at home blending.
I love this tea! It is great both hot and iced. I add a touch of sweetener when hot and it makes for a nice, rich tea . When iced, I find no sweetener is needed and it is delicious. It is one of my go-to iced teas all summer long. I also enjoy blending it with other teas. Yum!!
A great add on to heighten the flavor of other teas, especially fruit and chocolate teas
This one has a very delicate flavor and definitely needs to be steeped at a lower temperature. At 195, the cream flavor is absolutely decadent. Creamy and sweet black or with a splash of cream.
This tastes like heaven! The cream flavour is perfectly balanced, and doesn’t have that awful fake taste I’ve found with other ‘cream’ teas. I highly recommend this tea to anyone who likes a bit of creamy sweetness to their black morning sip!
Not my personal favorite but the cream flavor is interesting. Taste better with some sort of sweetener. Maybe add some milk
This seemed more mild flavored black tea with just a hint of cream. I prefer some of the other black teas you sell over this one.
This Cream tea is so yum! It's sweet and deep. It also is a delicious base to mix with other teas. This mixed with Black Almond is divine. Especially with a splash of Summer Rose.
A great addition to many teas to create your own blend. Not something I would necessarily have on its own though.
I love the cream flavor in other things, so I hoped I would love it on its own. This is good but not a fall in love with it tea
Smooth as silk - it's like a hug in a mug. Very forgiving if you don't brew it just perfectly, it always makes a nice cup. It's also a really nice dessert tea if you're trying to cut down on your sweets at night! With a little creamer and sweetener, it is a good tradeoff for hot chocolate. If you are sensitive to caffeine, do not drink near bedtime - it's got a kick. I prefer it first thing in the morning!
One of my favorite finds. Delicious. Creamy taste without the calories.
Cream is creamy. Im not sure how i can expand on that aside from that's how i felt after.
This is good although a bit different than what I am used to. Overall it is quite enjoyable.
Smooth, a bit sweet, how do they make it taste like cream?
Nice tea for anytime does not need sweetener or cream in my opinion
This tea is a subtle, yet pleasing new addition to my collection! At first I couldn’t taste the cream, but adding a small bit of sugar helps boost the cream flavor.
This stands very well on it's own. You can taste the cream. I like adding more cream and sweetener to bring it out as a dessert tea. I also add this tea to many many others.
I love that it tastes like I put cream in sugar in it without actually adding any.
I recommend brewing this at a lesser temperature as it is rather bland and tastes a little bitter if steeped to hot or long.
It has a pretty good flavor. I'm not real big on black tea but I bought this to blend with other teas I have. It's really good blended!
Very good coffee substitute ❤ delicious creamy taste
Delicious on it's own or mixed with another tea, such as the hazelnut.
Delicious creamy black tea - mix with any milk for a tea latte.
This was not my favorite, the flavor is bland and the tea isn’t as strong as I normally like. It’s not bad, just not my favorite.
The taste and smell of sweet cream permeates this tea. Yummy! This tea is great on its own but I am also going to try it mixed with fruity teas.
This one is better mixed with other teas than it is on its own... sometimes the smell of it is a little Play-doh like, which I don't care for. The flavor is fine, basically just a slightly more vanilla-tasting black tea.
Love this one... Just a very nice, mellow, perfect-for-a-cool-morning tea that's in my regular rotation.
This tea is just so nice. It feels like a tea that coffee lovers would like, but I'm not a coffee drinker, so I wouldn't really know. The unsteeped tea smells divine on its own, and the flavors stand so well without any sugar or added cream, though I'm certain both would enhance it.
I've been getting this one for a while and I think Adagio might have changed the cream flavor they use? The cream flavor in the latest bag I got is very reminiscent of vanilla frosting without the vanilla flavor. It reminds me of cake. Still good, but if you've been drinking this one for a while you might be surprised with your latest batch.
Like the flavor. Smells like cream in the bag, not a super strong flavor but just enough for me
212 degrees for 5 minutes. This cream tea is good on its own, but where it really shines is when you start blending with it. It mellows and sweetens any blend you grace it with and smooths out the sometimes sharpness of Ceylon. Excellent stuff!
An unexpected hit! This tea is a perfect comfort on a cold morning by itself or blended with others.
Nice creamy flavor. Add a little sugar, and makes a nice basic cup.
