I'm a bit new to oolong teas and bought a bunch to sample the flavor of the form, and this one quickly became a favorite of all the ones I tried. It reminds me a bit of a standard black like english breakfast, but it's got a subtly sweet flavor to it that rounds it out and makes it that much nicer! I might have to get a bigger bag next time I place an order!

First of all: WOW the smell that came out of this tea when I got it was unbelievable. It was incredibly pungent and smelled like medicine that persisted for an extremely long time after first opening. After a while the medicine smell started to fade and it smelled a bit more naturally like almonds, but it never fully went away. It tastes alright though, and I liked using it as a mixer with other sweet flavors like gingerbread and cinnamon spice.

I didn't get too much of a floral taste from this tea; to me it tasted more like a sort of green than anything else. Still not bad though! Was nice to use mixed with herbals and other sorts as well

It tastes about how you'd expect, like earl grey mixed with a standard green tea. The earl grey flavor is a bit stronger than the green tea flavor, but the green flavor is still very noticable. Nothing particularly special, but still very delicious.

More nut flavor than it is chocolate, which is what I was more looking for in a mocha flavored blend. I'm not a fan of coffee at all either unless it's a chocolatey and sweet mocha, so this one isn't very high on my list of favorites since it's severely lacking on the notes that I wanted. If you actually like the taste of coffee then perhaps you'll have better luck with this than I did.

Probably one of my favorite white teas available on adagio, hands down. Balanced mix of floral and fruity, the taste is very tropical, no doubt because of the pineapple and peach additions. Honestly tastes more like juice than you'd expect, especially when sweetened with some honey and/or a dash of lemon!

The herbaceous and earthy flavor of sage and the fruity flavor of blackberry I personally think work really well together! My cups always ended up being a perfect split between the blackberry and sage flavors, perhaps a bit more of the blackberry than the sage but I deeply enjoyed every cup regardless. Also paired nicely in a blend with golden monkey.

I will say I was pleasantly caught off guard by the flavor of this one, especially being my first time trying yerba mate. I usually end up using this as a mixer with my more fruity or floral teas for an extra zing of spice, but it also works well by itself. It's the spice you get first, and is definitely the star player in the mix, but it thankfully isn't too overwhelming. The fruity undertones help to cut the strength of the spice and round out the flavor before it becomes too much. I'd say be wary if you're not a huge fan of spice and cinnamon, as they're the strongest flavors on this pallet, but if that's your thing then don't hesitate to give it a shot!

Huge fan of this mix! My favorites were probably the Berry Creme Compote and the Melonberry Green, but the Lemon Meringue Green was good too, especially when mixed with others as part of a blend.
The berry creme was a perfect blend of fruit and creme, very sweet and not very tart, which works very well too when mixed with others. The melonberry I worried I wasn't going to like but was pleasantly surprised! The melon and strawberry flavors actually mix really well together and make for a very pleasant flavor. The main one I wasn't a fan of was the White Eternal Spring, which gave me a very strange aroma and flavor that simply didn't sit well with me no matter how I tried to brew it. It's not quite floral, not quite fruity, just a strange amalgamation of too many flavors that don't seem to play well together in my opinion.
Regardless, I think this pack is a great steal for spring, and all of them work well hot or cold!

Wasn't bad, but wasn't quite what I was looking for either with a peach tea. The peach flavor was there, but it was much sweeter than I anticipated, and the tartness that I usually associate with peaches was very faint, mostly lost with the flavor of the black tea. Adding some lemon helped to compensate, and it was delicious regardless, but for me it was still mildly disappointing in that department.

The basil isn't a super strong flavor in this mix, and makes for an excellent, slightly herbaceous and earthy, backdrop for the strawberry. At first the strawberry flavor was rather faint for me, but I increased the amount in my cup and it really shown through more strongly the second time around. Tastes good hot or cold, and it's really hard to oversteep it I've noticed, as the bitterness that would come about gets overpowered by the strawberry flavor. Got it as a sample, but I'm certainly going to need more next time I order!

Dragonfruit usually has a particularly subtle taste, at least to me, so I'm surprised and delighted to say that this was WAY more flavorful than I was expecting. I use an absolutely MASSIVE cup for my tea, too, so I'm surprised what looked like so little went such a long way! The flavors work very well together and is definitely going to be a new favorite for the summer. Next time I'll have to get a bigger bag!

On its own the raspberry flavor is very subtle, but if you add a bit of lemon it really helps bring out that tart, fruity flavor that you'd be hoping for with this blend. Probably one of my new favorite greens!

The lychee and rose flavors work together PERFECTLY in this cup. Very fragrant and refreshing, and I love the almost tropical flavor the lychee gives. Highly recommend either sweetened or unsweetened!

It's okay, but not really my cup of tea (pun intended). I feel like the vanilla flavor is just a bit too overpowering of the floral notes I was hoping for when buying this blend. Works well when blended with other flavors, but by itself it's just not for me. If you /really/ like vanilla then go ahead and give it a shot.

I've been making my own rose tea from blossoms we're growing at home, but I've been very eager to try a genuine 'rose tea' for a while, and let me tell you this one does not disappoint. This tea is SO aromatic it's borderline perfume. Very delicious and the perfect fix for light summer cravings.

This tea is absolutely delightful in every regard. I wasn't sure how I'd like the berries and creme flavor since creme flavor in tea feels very hit-or-miss sometimes, but it works just perfectly with this one! I enjoy blending it with a bit of black tea and mixing with honey and just a touch of lemon.

I bought this as a wedding gift for my mother, and she likes it a lot! She describes it as tasting like a blend between an irish breakfast and an english breakfast, and likes drinking it straight black while she works. I'll definitely need to invest in some more next time it comes around to keep our stock plentiful!

This is 100% one of the best teas I've tried yet. I've been searching for a tea with a nice, strong blend of spice and fruitiness and this is it! I've heard others describe it as tasting like Trader Joe's Winter Wassail tea and I'm inclined to agree, so if you've tried that you've already got a pretty good idea of how it tastes. Love mixing with a bit of honey and lemon.

The cinnamon-apple flavor isn't especially strong on this one, to me it just tastes like any other matcha which made it a bit of a disappointment when I first tried it. I do still like matcha though, and the flavor is still nice. I like to mix with a bit of honey.

I'm not really a huge fan of vanilla flavor in tea. Maybe as a hint or an undertone, but not very much as the main flavor. This one is VERY potently vanilla, far more than I was expecting. I prefer to mix it with some of my herbal teas than drinking it straight, it works better that way in my opinion.
But if you're a fan of vanilla, then go ham.

This was WAY more crème brûlée-y of a flavor than I was expecting. It works pretty well with a bit of spice added to it, and I think it actually makes it taste better doing so.

This tea is definitely my favorite out of all the autumn blends. The fruity flavor is so pronounced and it works great when mixed with a spicier blend like Bonfire or a creamier one like Autumn Mist. So many choices, and yet it still holds up perfectly on its own!
