this tea is delicious. the blackberry and sage merge beautifully
I love this one! Not too fruity and a well balanced tea. Great with milk
Has a good flavor but tastes more like a Thanksgiving turkey than tea. :)
This will be a permanent staple in my tea hoard. The blackberry is just fruity enough without being too sweet, and the sage adds a unique taste and aroma that makes you think of being in the woods as summer turns to fall. Good iced, amazing hot.
The first cup was weird, to say the least. But now it's easily one of my comfort teas. It's like (and this is weird I know) a turkey dinner in a cup, but in a good way? You get the blackberry taste right away and then it smooths into the sage flavor. I love it!
I've brewed this twice at 212F. I steeped one cup for 3 minutes and another for 4. It could be just me but this tea tastes like it would be a good mixer for lapsong souchong. I thought I was getting some smokiness from this tea (it could have just been the sage in combination with everything else too) but it is definitely herbaceous nowhere near as fruity as I expected (I detected no fruit in it's flavor but it could have been my fault). Overall, I gave this tea to my sis, who will drink it in my stead.
This tea both smells and tastes like a formal, black-gown wearing, refined date. This is a deep, sophisticated tea and does not disappoint!
When I first got this tea as a sampler, I never expected it to become my favorite. I have since ordered some to go with every other purchase I've made since that first time. This is a wonderful afternoon blend that's light and easy on the taste buds.
Such an intriguing blend! I wasn t sure about having sage in a tea before, but these flavors melt together so perfectly... I love having this on a cold, winter morning. Quite lovely!
One of my favorites, the flavors blend very nicely! Had to order more :)
Kinda has a weird raw fruity taste that I can't get over.
The blend of sweetness from the blackberry with the savory from the sage had me worried when I first tried this tea, but I absolutely love it! It's the perfect blend and underneath it all is the light oolong to hold up the flavors. My only negative is that although it's an oolong, steeping it more than once wields a much weaker tea.
I m a fan of oolong teas, they re usually the only kind I enjoy besides herbals w/ any fruit flavour added. Makes an excellent cup and the blackberry subtly shines through. I look forward to trying this as a iced tea, since peach oolong is somewhat similar and makes an excellent batch of iced tea itself.
Not my favorite. A little too strong for my taste, but very flavorful.
This is a really good tea! I love the combination of blackberry and sage with the buttery oolong. yum!
Freaking love this...beautiful balance of fruit and sage
This tea is absolutely delicious and only gets better on the second, third, and even fourth steeping! Although the fourth steeping starts to wane in flavor, I can't wait to order this again!
It tasted lighter than it smelled but still a very pleasant tea.
This my daughter’s favorite. Fruity and earthy. Not sweet. Reminds her of the forest.
I like this tea warm and cold. It's a stronger flavored tea.
This and the peach oolong are our go-to oolongs. great aroma and flavor. Good balance between tea, fruit, and herbs.
This is great both hot and iced, but I think I actually prefer it iced. The blackberry flavoring isn t very strong, I actually get more sage, but it blends perfectly with the oolong.
I wanted to they this tea because I I love the sage tea sent from my favorite cafe, and let me say it did not disappoint. It had a very present sage flavor, but is not a bitter and earthy as a normal sage tea is. I personally didn't get a strong sense of blackberry; I think the blackberry mostly balanced the sage, and therefore was a little overpowered. The scent is magnificent, and I will definitely brew this tea again just for the smell that permeates my room.
The blackberry is the most flavor in this one. The sage is there, but subtle.
So great! A very strong fruity flavor that is good iced or hot. The aroma really gives a punch to the already strong flavor.
This is great. I dont taste a strong herb flavor, but just kind of a nice rounded oolong blend
This oolong is very good. Balanced, a little fruity, and the sage adds a slight herbal touch. I was bummed seeing it was not available when I placed another order.
This one is my new favorite. The sage makes just enough of a flavor-appearance.
The aroma of this tea has a pronounced berry scent with a hint of citrus, but once it's brewed, it mellows out, and the sage notes kick in. This is forest in my cup, a woodsy get-away, and is one of my favorite teas so far.
This tea is wonderful. The sage along with oolong gives a very earthy taste.
Really enjoyed this tea. The sage enhances the blackberry flavor without being too pungent or overpowering. It is smooth and the blackberry brings a perfect amount of sweetness.
This is my favorite Adagio tea by far! Mildly caffeinated and love the earthy tones and berry taste.
I loved this tea so much that I had to reorder. I had it plain and with honey in my teapot and it was delicious.
Refreshing, even hot. I find myself reaching for this one when I'm not sure what I want to drink as my first cup of the morning.
I tried this tea for the first time this morning and loved it. I will definitely be ordering more. The sage and blackberry flavors are perfectly balanced, with a deep, rich Underlying earthy taste. I drank it hot but will try it iced as well...I am sure it will be delicious.
Right now my favorite oolong tea, my go to morning, after coffee, tea.
My favorite new tea!!! I could drink this all day, especially with honey!
This! The berries are there and are balanced with the sage. I get whiffs of sage fragrance, but the herb doesn't overwhelm the lovely blackberries, it just balances the berries perfectly.
Such a lovely tea. The sage really helps balance out the sweetness of the berry.
This is an earthy tea, mostly due to the sage. I love it as is, but my daughter likes slightly less sage, and so she picks out a few of the sage flakes before steeping. This one is good for a second steep, and is great with a teaspoon of honey for sore throats!
Fruity and herbal, this tea is a real delight! The aroma and flavor surpass my expectations!
my new favorite. such a smooth tea, beyond the flavor, this tea just feels really nice as well. The flavor is exceptional, I don t know if it s the inclusion of raspberry, but whatever the reason, it works. for me, the sweet/savory flavor combos are either hit or miss - this was definitely a hit.
I knew I would either love or hate this tea when I ordered a sample. It turns out I love it! The taste reminds me of a peaceful walk through the woods.
This one I got as a sample first and it reminded me of a Blackberry tea I had at a poetry slam in high school.
I really enjoyed this! All the flavors are there- the blackberry scent and taste comes first, the oolong is right behind it. Then the finish is a slight hint of sage. SO good! I was surprised by this because I don't normally like flavored teas. I got a sample to try and now I'm ordering more...
I am not crazy about this tea on its own but, If you were to mix it with regular cream or a vanilla creme or almond creme flavored loose tea it definitely makes it taste better. I love blackberry but not mixed with sage. It is a strange taste on its own.
This tastes like a smoothie my mom used to make when i was little. Very good!
This isn't something I thought I would like very much due to the fact I'm not a fan of sage, but I actually really enjoyed the combination of blackberry with the sage. It s not too overpowering, and everything balances nicely to make a nice oolong tea. Not something I'll keep ordering, but it was definitely worth a try!
I honestly never expected to enjoy this because non-citrus fruity teas taste weird to me, and the thought of a flavored oolong is, frankly, bizarre. But I've been on an oolong kick lately and sage is on my list of ingredients I'm liking. This is amazing - all the earthy warmth of a pot of oolong with a mildly floral-fruity punch.
This tea has a great aroma, good balance of flavors.
