★★★★☆

im so conflicted. this tastes and smells so familiar but i. cant put my finger on it. i let it steep too long and im mad about it

★★★★☆

It's kinda weird. But I gotta say, I kinda like it.
Wondering if I'd like it more with a touch less cinnamon and a touch more cocoa nibs. Regardless, would fall in the 'once in a while' cuppa category for me.

Nice warm flavor that reminded me of autumn. The flavors in this blend are spectacular.

This smells like cinnamon and maybe cocoa to me. I'm not a coffee drinker and haven't really had chicory before so I steeped for 1 min @ 212. The smell was then nut like. The flavor was mild, and wasn't coffee, cinnamon, or cocoa tasting. I put it back to steep for longer and the cinnamon aroma and taste came out. This was nothing special to me and there are other tisanes/herbals in this flavor profile that I would drink instead.

8 oz, 3 mins @ 195* F, hot with chocolate cream and sweetener.

This is a very bold herbal tea. With the chocolate creamer it's almost as bold as cinnamon coffee. I’m not a huge fan of cinnamon in my coffee. I like it in some teas. My palate is rather confused. I sorta like it, I sorta don't. I think I need a few more cups for me to be more decisive.

I was plesently surprised by this tea. As a coffee lover, I was unsure what to expect. It is SO not an alternative to coffee, but an addition to my ever growing collection of teas I like.
My sample was heavy on the cinnamon and chicory bark. The chocolate nibs added a tiny hint of background flavouring.
I tasted it after a one minute steep, but in keeping with my taste buds, it needed a full three minutes to steep out all the earthy goodness. I added Demerara sugar and half and half cream to create the perfect smooth blend of a delicious cinnamon bark tea... At least with the sample I received, I think it should be renamed 'Cinnamon Bark' tea. It was yummy. Thank you for expanding my tea repertoire.

Meh? Lots of cinnamon in this cup, followed by a bitter, burnt flavor likely from the chicory. Not my favorite flavor but I suppose I need to play around a bit with steeping time and temp. I prefer Teeccino over this for an herbal coffee alternative.

Chicory ain't for this chick. Smells like cinnamon toast; tastes like BURNT cinnamon toast. May have been better if I had any hint of the cocoa nibs coming through; instead I detected dandelion root, which has its place, but not on cinnamon toast!

Warm, Roasty, Toasty Goodness. A perfect Autumnal Cup! Nutty and Cinnamon-y..a wondrous flavorful balance.

Very nice-little nutty, cinnamon, touch floral. Was skeptical when I saw the ingredients on the back but the final result was a delight

I accidentally over steeped this brew, and I wouldn’t make it any differently. It really has a healthy pinch of cinnamon, and it wouldn’t have been as bold or flavorful had I not given it the few extra minutes.

I really like this tea, I think it's going to be a regular. It is chocolatey with a pleasant cinnamon flavor. It's not as deep as a crio brew and not as plain as dandelion root.

★★★★☆

This was a rich tea that I enjoyed very much as a latte. The milk really made the flavors jump out and a bit of maple syrup to sweeten it made for a well rounded coffee-like beverage!

I really liked this one as a coffee replacement. It has earthy undertones and good with milk. I will buy more of this for sure!

★★★★★

Good flavor, very reminiscent of cinnamon toast. This is advertised as having a coffee flavor, and I don’t really get that at all. But if you’re looking for something with good cinnamon flavor and no caffeine, I highly recommend this blend.

Not enough teas have chicory in them! Love the depth of flavor and new favor profile in a tea! Definitely will reorder!

★★★★★

It smells like a cinnamon cookie! When hot, this tea has a pleasant bitterness, soft cinnamon flavors, and a bit of chocolate. When it cools the chocolate comes out more. It leaves a lingering chocolate-chicory flavor in your mouth well after drinking it. Good body and strong flavors. I didn't add sugar but would love to try it with sugar next time, I think that would make it into a very nice dessert tea. I look forward to enjoying this full-flavored tea in the winter months. This tea turns very bitter with oversteeping so err on the side of a shorter steep to start with.

I wanted to like this tea so much more than I actually did. Just bland for me. Tried both hot and iced, but nope. Definitely not a coffee doppleganger for me. Mildly spiced, but I didn't taste any of the cocoa nibs. I won't get again.

★★★★★

Es el mejor te que he probado me encantan en especial este

★★☆☆☆

I did not like the flavor of this tea. I am committed to finishing it but the it has a more earthy flavor than I was expecting.

★★★★★

This is a new staple for me. Its cinnamon is of a round non-cassia variety, and it's more complex than that. It's warm and just the ticket, lovely with vegan milk or -creamer.

★★★★★

This tastes like coffee but not nearly as strong. Goes well with milk and sugar and can be a good coffee replacement if you don't want the caffeine.

★★★★☆

This is a strong rich decaf tea! Definitely a delight!

★★★☆☆

Dark and sweet - a really lovely tea of fantastic depth. You can taste everything in it, and it has almost a dessert-ey taste to it. Reminded me of cinnamon buns, and adding a little brown sugar really boosts that. I didn't think of how coffee tastes when drinking this, however, so temper expectations if you're going in for that. I'd recommend!

Got this one for evenings and days when I can't tolerate caffeine. Smells and tastes very much like French toast! There is an odd aftertaste at times, which I'm not sure whether I like or not. Still, it's pretty good, and has nice flavor for a richer herbal.

There is just something about this tea, and I am not sure what it was but I did not react well too it. It made me sick and feel pretty crappy. Flavor wasn't bad but I will not be drinking it again

★★★★★

Unusual and earthy taste. I like it for variety in the mornings instead of my usual black tea. Definitely worth a try.

★★★★☆

While this is in the herbal category, it's a bold cup that could satisfy a chai or coffee craving. I like it as a latte, or paired with oat milk.

Chicoriccino was a random sample I received. I was hesitant to try it because it smelled like chocolate and I don't usually like cinnamon in my tea. The blend of this tea is exquisite, with a vibes of chocolate and coffee. Adagio nailed the blend. Now I keep this tea always available on my tea shelf. I steep for 10 minutes to reach an opaque, strong cup.

Wh--??? Hello???? I was so scared I would hate this and it turned out to be my favorite thing ever?!?! I wouldn't say this is a one-to-one for coffee on flavor, but it's REALLY good as its own thing, and this is a really economical option compared to the bagged equivalents you can get elsewhere. Be careful not to steep for more than 5 minutes, it gets really bitter if you do!

In its own this tea is cinnamon forward with rich, smokie, and slightly bitter notes of cocoa and roasted nuts. Add a little sugar and it turns into a decadent mexican hot chocolate. Delicious.

Morning favorite! Since giving up coffee, this is my morning go to. With a little sweetener and cream it’s almost like a cappuccino

Really enjoying this not quite chai kind of blend. Nice for an afternoon pick me up

The flavor is so light. I really wanted to like it. But it was like trying to enjoy a watered down coffee.

★★★★★

Love this blend on a chilly night! Little sugar or honey, and some cream and it’s the perfect ending to my day.

This one is not for me, and will not be replacing my coffee as promised. It is too bitter for my liking and leaves an aftertaste. However, my spouse seems to enjoy it.

★★★☆☆

This one was fine, just not for me. Seems like if it steeped for more than maybe 30 seconds it was so strong, like coffee that had sat in the office coffee pot all day long. Flavor was pretty good, it was just too much top fast.

★★★★★

A nice flavorful type of brew. Much prefer this say over decaffeinated coffee.

Tea for coffee lovers, what a great idea! For those who enjoy both tea and coffee, a treat to try!,

★☆☆☆☆

One of few teas I can honestly say I didn't like. It has some flavor components I like (cinnamon, a nice, almost chocolate-y flavor) but the aftertaste of dust and ... the chicory itself, honestly, turned me away from enjoying it. even with some brown sugar and milk it was just not good... i tried it, but it's just not my thing!

It was a little too sweet for me and reminded me more of a coffee-flavored pastry than a coffee beverage.

My daughter and I love the flavor of this tea, but it resteeps terribly. It doesn’t taste like coffee (which is perfect for me) and it makes a nice bedtime treat as it has low caffeine. It has been added to my repurchase list!

Definitely not to my taste. I tried it plain and with a variety of additons, and I just couldn't get it to make an enjoyable cuppa.

Yummy! A light chocolate flavor with a dash of cinnamon. It's rich and full bodied. This would be great mixed with a black tea for a morning "coffee" drink. I prefer it with sweetener (I personally use erythritol) and some milk/cream (I used oat milk). I taste zero bitterness, as others have said. This is a real treat. I've tried chicory and dandelion each separately, idk why I never thought to combine them. They're both better together.

Absolutely delicious, it has a full flavor and a lovely touch of chocolate flavor that comes through and makes it just a little bit sweet all on its own.

★★★☆☆

Not bad, but not quite what I was looking for. Very chicory, not a lot added from the other ingredients.

★★☆☆☆

I personally didn’t care for this one as much. It came across bitter to me unfortunately so I was not able to drink it.

★★★★☆

Really interesting tea, hard a dark caramel-ly tone, with a bit of burnt bitterness if you steep too strongly. I think this best with your favorite creamer as a latte.

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea! When I received my sample size and made a cup, it was so good, I made another cup. I love the cinnamon, chocolate and chicory and now order this in the largest size Adagio offers.
