Loose Leaf Flavored Tea: Fruit & Dessert

Buy Loose Leaf Flavored Tea Online: 48 Premium Varieties

Adagio's flavored tea collection is the largest and most varied on the page — 48 loose leaf flavored teas spanning fruit teas, dessert teas, spiced teas, and floral blends, all built on a Ceylon black tea base and blended in-house using natural flavors and real botanical ingredients. Every variety is available from 15 cents a cup in loose leaf, pyramid teabags, iced tea pouches, and single-serve portions.

Flavored Tea by Category

Fruit Teas

The largest category in the collection. Adagio's loose leaf fruit teas use real fruit pieces, natural fruit flavors, and botanicals — not synthetic approximations. Peach tea, mango tea, raspberry tea, strawberry tea, blueberry tea, apricot tea, blackberry tea, grapefruit tea, passionfruit tea, cranberry tea, and coconut tea all fall here. The fruit teas brew beautifully hot or iced — several, like peach tea and mango tea, are among the most popular iced teas in the entire Adagio catalog.

Dessert Teas

For anyone who wants their cup to taste like something they'd order off a dessert menu. Chocolate Truffle tea uses actual cocoa nibs, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder. Caramel Crème Brûlée tea delivers exactly what the name promises. Butterscotch, Vanilla, Cream, Black Forest Cake, Campfire S'mores, Sweet Potato Pie, and Hazelnut round out a dessert tea collection that covers every indulgent profile imaginable — all without a single calorie from the flavoring itself.

Spiced and Holiday Teas

Sweet Cinnamon Spice, Orange Spice, Gingerbread, Pumpkin Spice, Candy Cane, Christmas Tea, and Kringles Krush make up the spiced and seasonal end of the collection. These are the flavored black teas that lean into warmth and comfort — the ones you reach for when the temperature drops and you want something that smells like the holidays before you even taste it.

Floral and Specialty Teas

Summer Rose, Hibiscus, April in Paris, and Valentines Tea bring a floral dimension to the flavored tea collection. Thai Tea — based on the classic Southeast Asian preparation — is one of the most distinctive teas in the catalog. Tiger Eye blends chocolate and caramel into something that tastes like dessert without announcing it. Kentucky Bourbon Tea is exactly as interesting as it sounds.

What Makes Adagio's Flavored Teas Different

Most flavored teas — including the majority of what you'll find in grocery stores — use artificial flavoring sprayed onto low-grade tea. The base is fannings, the flavor is synthetic, and the result is a flat cup that tastes more like flavored water than actual tea.

Adagio's loose leaf flavored teas start with whole-leaf Ceylon black tea — the same quality base used in our unflavored black tea collection — and blend it with natural flavors, real fruit pieces, botanicals, and spices. The tea base contributes its own character to the cup, which is why our Peach tea tastes like peach and black tea rather than just peach-flavored liquid. That's the difference whole-leaf flavored tea makes.

Does Flavored Tea Contain Caffeine?

Yes — Adagio's loose leaf flavored teas are built on a Ceylon black tea base, which naturally contains caffeine. Most cups deliver 40–70mg of caffeine per 8oz serving, depending on steeping time and water temperature. For caffeine-free flavored tea options, our herbal tea and rooibos collections offer many of the same flavor profiles — peach, vanilla, berry, chocolate, and more — without any caffeine.

How to Brew Loose Leaf Flavored Tea

Steep loose leaf flavored tea for 3–5 minutes in freshly boiled water at 200–212°F. Most flavored black teas handle the full 5 minutes well — the flavoring holds up to longer steeping in a way that some delicate unflavored teas don't. Use one teaspoon of loose leaf per 8oz cup. For iced flavored tea, brew slightly stronger (1.5 teaspoons per cup) to compensate for dilution over ice, or cold brew overnight in the fridge for a smoother, less bitter result.

Flavored Tea as a Gift

Loose leaf flavored tea is one of the most giftable categories in the Adagio catalog — specific enough to feel personal, universally approachable enough to land well with almost anyone. Our Flavor Trilogy sets bundle three varieties of the same flavor profile (peach, Earl Grey, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, vanilla, chai, and orange) into a single gift box starting at $14. They make excellent birthday gifts, hostess gifts, and holiday gifts for anyone who appreciates good tea.
