Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 14th, 2014
The aroma of the dry tea is rich and quite sweet, with notes of cocoa, roasted peanuts, yams, honey, and a delicate finish of dried cherry. It is nothing short of mouthwatering, but I do have a great love for this kind of tea.
The first steeping is light, a creamy blend of sweet cocoa, roasted peanuts and a rich aft...
Honeybush Orange from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 11th, 2014
Sweet, with an almost creamy orange flavor that tastes balanced, not fake. I enjoyed it except that it tasted watery compared to other adagio teas I've tried--though this might have been because it was a different barista at the tea shop this time. Maybe it was made weaker. Still, the flavor it did have was lovely, and...

Keemun Concerto from Adagio Teas
Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Anhui, China57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 8th, 2014
Very interesting tea. It has a robust flavor that's hard to pin down in words. The dominant flavor is one that's savory and fruity at the same time. Perhaps akin to the flavor of sourdough bread? It tastes almost like a black tea, but without the bitterness that causes me to dislike most black teas. Of the tea I've tri...

River Song (Signature Blend) from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 1st, 2014
Method: 1.5 tsp, 8 oz, 205 degrees, 5 minutes, Forlife brew in mug steeper, Dr. Who mug (duh)
Dry Leaf Aroma: Smells like earl grey
Brewing Aroma: Bergamot and cream
Flavor: Maybe I just don't like bergamot in tea anymore. The bergamot is certainly present, but very mild. I expected to like this MORE tha...
Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 1st, 2014
The aroma may be the best part of this tea, with the flavor being a solid second. The smell is just about perfect if you're in the mood for something at once spicy and comforting.
The flavor was full and satisfying, though I'd personally prefer a tiny bit of sweetness be added to the flavor. So I ended up adding a b...
Calypso Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 26th, 2014
Now THIS is what a blended green tea should taste like! Love the fruitiness. I tried this twice, once hot and once iced, and both times it was excellent. It was prepared for me at a local coffee shop, so I can't give recommendations on steep time, but I'll be sure to ask them next time I get tea there.
Very smooth, ...
Hojicha from Adagio Teas
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 19th, 2014
Thanks E. Alex Gerster for this sample! The leaf looks dark in color, but smells greener or lighter-roasted.
Brews up a dark amber color, lighter than I expected, with a greener character. Flavor is crisp, with a little bitterness or bite. There's only a light roast evident in the aroma when drinking, and there a...
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 15th, 2014
The aroma is primarily a blend of sweet oranges and sour lemon with a nice artichoke finish. The aroma of citrus always puts me in a good mood, it is like sunshine on a cold day, I smell it and I cannot help but smile.
The taste is both light and bright, it quenches the thirst and brings a feeling of happiness. A gr...
Fruit Medley (Fruit Sangria) from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 15th, 2014
A fruity blend with strawberry as the dominant aroma. I normally don't like these blends, but I thought this one pretty exceptional. The dry leaf didn't impress me, but once it was brewed up, it was a pleasure to drink, and wonderfully aromatic.
Just like I'd expect, produces a rich, deep red color, less purplish ...

Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 9th, 2014
I greatly prefer this EG to Adagio's Earl Grey Moonlight. This is a basic EG, and that's ok by me. The tea has a good aroma and flavor, but without being overpowering. I'd call this one solid.
I had the sugar and milk out, but it didn't need either. This was great on its own and I can see this being a tea I drink a...
Artichoke Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 6th, 2014
I would love it if someone could explain how the dry tea smells like a cherry and a grape had a baby in a field of newly mown grass.
And the wet leaves smell like more of the above, plus cranberry.
And the actual tea tastes like sweet grass. I was really expecting more of a veggie broth kind of taste.
I'm f...
Cherry Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2014
I think I should have tasted this before trying Adagio's Cherry Black Tea. I drank the black tea first, so the green never stood a chance. I love the black tea, so it's now the standard against which I compare all cherry teas!
The scent is pleasant, but not as strong. Once brewed (3 min), it just tastes very (ver...
Earl Grey Moonlight from Adagio Teas
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2014
The scent of this tea is lovely, full of citrus, floral and vanilla notes; however, the flavor is mostly floral and there is an unpleasant aftertaste.
This was steeped using boiling water for about 3 minutes. The flavor was barely there, so I left it for another minute at at 4 minutes, it seemed better.
The tea...
Raspberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 3rd, 2014
I'm bummed about this one. I'm glad I bought a small sample size to try. The un brewed and brewed aromas are excellent, but the flavor is lacking.
This was brewed as directed. I used boiling water in the French press for 3 min. That seemed too short for a black tea, so I sampled and it was weak. Let it go to 4.5 mi...
White Tropics from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 2nd, 2014
This tea definitely smells of coconut and pineapple. After brewing for 3 minutes, it also tastes like coconut and pineapple.
My problem is that there's also an extra flavor I don't care for. It's kind of like a peachy floral taste, and it creates an odd aftertaste.
I wanted to like this because it seems like ...
Darjeeling #2 from Adagio Teas
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 1st, 2014
My first tea made gongfu style! This is milder than I expected and I was pleasantly surprised.
I steeped for 30 seconds to start. The tea was a very pale amber. The flavor was very light, and slightly sweet.
I did another steep of 30 seconds and the tea darkened slightly. I didn't notice much difference in t...
Cherry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 30th, 2014
This could be a new fave! The unbrewed tea aroma is amazeballs. Stepped for 5 min with boiling water, there was no bitterness here.
The cherry flavor is pleasantly noticeable, without being overpowering. The base black tea they use seems like the perfect showcase for the cherry flavor. I wish I had some of this...
Yunnan Gold (Golden Yunnan) from Adagio Teas
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
I really wish I tasted some of that pepper from the description.
This was brewed using boiling water for 6 min. The tea smells great before and after steeping, but it has a sharp taste that I don't appreciate.
I try to drink tea without sugar or milk, but it may be needed here. Toward the end of the cup, I star...
English Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Anhui, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 1st, 2014
Opened a fresh package of this wonderful loose leaf blend, and enjoyed the fresh aroma of the dry leaves: earthy, slightly smoky and a light honey scent as well. Just over three minutes as a steep with boiling water. Beautiful color and a malty aroma begins to develop.
I am not sure I would classify this as a tradit...
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 28th, 2014
A very pleasant blend that is light and soothing. Only takes two to three minutes for a very flavorful and aromatic steep. Best using water of 175 to 180 degrees to get the full aroma.
Nothing poetic to say about this tea, just a very good blend that is inexpensive, flavorful and comforting!
Yunnan Jig from Adagio Teas
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 14th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is fairly delicate with notes of muscatel, oak, and summer berries. When brewed it takes a turn for the malty and stronger oak notes.
The taste is bright and clean with notes of muscatel, sweetness, and dark chocolate. It is a great afternoon tea.
Pu Erh Chorange from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 6th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is so reminiscent of Chocolate Oranges that I think I got instantly transferred to a Christmas candy store. There is a bit of the Pu Erh Earthiness but mostly it is chocolate and oranges. Same for when the tea is steeped.
The taste is very smooth, sweet and well balanced. The chocolate and ora...
Pu Erh Hazelberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Yunnan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 3rd, 2013
The first thing I noticed about this tea's aroma is the strawberry, which immediately reminded me of Crunch Berries! I also pick up notes of cream, hazelnut, earthiness, and minerals. It is a complex tea.
The taste is also complex, first there is a blend of earthy, metallic, and mineral flavors that really pop in m...
Yunnan Gold (Golden Yunnan) from Adagio Teas
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 18th, 2013
I thought this tea was great. I really liked the roasty smell, and thought it was a great tea for a cool fall morning.
I didn't notice a peppery smell or taste at all, so I feel like the description is deceiving.
