Thai Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 20th, 2011
It's funny but I didn't even notice when ordering a sample of this that it had coconut. I noticed it as a mild taste with each sip. I'm not the biggest coconut fan but it blended smoothly with the chai and other flavorings and was a nice treat. I prefer the traditional Masali but this is a refreshing change. Fortunatel...

Vanilla from Adagio Teas
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 10th, 2011
Adagio has an awesome website and their teas are competitively priced. Alas, their flavored teas just don't float my boat. "Chemically" is how I'd describe both the vanilla and the other flavors I've tried. They're a popular brand, so maybe it's just me.

Cranberry Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 11th, 2011
For the most part, I like this tea, but there is a caramel-like quality to the aroma that I find objectionable. It's not clear what ingredient imparts this quality. Besides that, I think the tea is pretty good.
The base is a standard, full-bodied Ceylon of good quality, and in this blend, the base tea is pretty so...
Dragonwell from Adagio Teas
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 4th, 2011
I tried brewing this by the exact same method I had brewed Novus' dragonwell; both were similar portions of whole-leaf tea in pyramid sachets. Although Novus can't really compare with Adagio, as a whole, I think on this particular tea, Adagio's tea fell short.
The first infusion was very flavorful, rich, and aromat...
Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 30th, 2011
Aroma suggests sweetness, in a way I am not a huge fan of. It also suggests nutmeg, although I don't see any nutmeg in the ingredients. Overall, this one struck me as weak...not exactly offensive, but just...something I mildly dislike, very slightly unpleasant.
I continue to be underwhelmed by most of Adagio's fla...
Pumpkin Spice Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend27 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 26th, 2011
This blend did not work for me; although I love the flavor of pumpkin, and can imagine it really working well in a blend with black tea, I found that the pumpkin flavor in this tea was somewhat artificial-seeming...highly estery, and cloying, and also clashing with the other aromas and flavors. I would say the aroma w...

White Peony (Pai Mu Tan) from Adagio Teas
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 20th, 2011
This tea has a nice dusty flavor. It's a little weak for my taste, but if I brew it for long enough it's good. I added cream and sugar.

Silver Needle from Adagio Teas
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 19th, 2011
Brews a dark color for a silver needle, but the flavor profile is more like what I'd expect for a silver needle.
Aroma is mellow, mostly vegetal, slightly floral but only weakly so. Sweet, no bitterness. I used a very long steep time (>10 min.) and it had only a little astringency.
This is not my favorite style...
Wuyi Ensemble (Wuyi Oolong) from Adagio Teas
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 16th, 2011
Although this tea looks very dark in color, it had a slightly greener character among Wuyi oolongs. Aroma has a hint of smokiness, and some woody qualities, but primarily a background of honey-like smoothness that is fairly floral. The finish is clean and herbaceous, leaving a fresh taste of celery on the palate.

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 15th, 2011
This tea is really good. It tastes a lot like chai, which I like. Nice amount of ginger, but I can't really taste the bread. I added cream and sugar.

Chamomile from Adagio Teas
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: Egypt77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 15th, 2011
This is a classic chamomile, moderately fruity, but not the fruitiest I've tried. I steeped it for a very long time, but it did not become unpleasantly bitter, which is good. The differences between different batches of chamomile I've had are subtle, but I think this is among the better ones.
Sweeter and smoother ...
White Peony (Pai Mu Tan) from Adagio Teas
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 14th, 2011
Not what I expected, and actually, far exceeding any expectations I had! This is my favorite Pai Mu Tan sampled yet, and is far out ahead of any of the other contenders.
I had this as a sample in a tea sachet. The sachet contains the same tea that is sold as loose-leaf. I will note that the sachet was very large,...
Candy Apple Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 14th, 2011
This tea has a nice aroma, but the flavor is a little weak. The cinnamon doesn't blend very well with the apple flavor. It's a little too fruity for my taste, but I don't usually like fruit flavored teas. I like the caramel flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

Ti Kuan Yin (Oolong Goddess) from Adagio Teas
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 14th, 2011
This is a very balanced Tie Guan Yin. It is darker than a lot of the modern green Chinese Oolongs, but lighter than some of the traditional dark roast ones. The cup comes out a dark amber or light brown.
The aroma is slightly floral, with a hint of woody tones. Very full-bodied; slightly honey-like upon drinking....
Chestnut Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 13th, 2011
This tea is really good! It has this malty flavor that I love. It's strong and not too bitter. I think it would appeal to people who usually prefer coffee, but want to try something different. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 12th, 2011
I love chestnuts, and I could imagine them going well with black tea, so I was eager to try this one.
The aroma is very strong, a sort of caramelly, nutty quality. Although it's very nutty, it doesn't taste at all like chestnuts to me. It taste more like pecans than anything else...a buttery sort of pecan flavor, ...
Pumpkin Spice Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 12th, 2011
Mmm, this tea is good. It tastes a bit weak, though, and I don't want it to get too bitter. But I like the blend of spices. It's a little like chai, and I'm a big chai fan, but I like that this tea has much less cinnamon flavor. I can barely taste the pumpkin. I added cream and sugar.

Yunnan Gold (Golden Yunnan) from Adagio Teas
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 12th, 2011
This tea is mostly golden buds, and it is very similar to the other tea I've sampled that looks most similar to it in appearance, which was Life in Teacup's Yunnan Golden Bud. Smooth and peppery. Compared to that tea, this one has a softer peppery quality. Both teas are slightly Keemun-like.
Requires a long brewi...
Silver Needle from Adagio Teas
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 11th, 2011
I was expecting this tea to be too weak for my taste, but it actually had a good amount of flavor. I'm not the best judge of gourmet teas, though, but I've started liking white teas more. The silver needle doesn't have as much of the tangy flavor of other white teas I've tasted.

Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 24th, 2011
This is a really nice everyday black tea of moderate price and good quality. I am really picky about my Ceylon teas, like the 'Ceylon Sonata' that they use in this blend, and it is actually much improved in flavor by the 'Assam Melody' that they blend with it.
You get the typical nice robust aroma and flavor with t...
Genmai Cha from Adagio Teas
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 18th, 2011
Over the past year I have had some really mediocre genmaicha's, so I was pleasantly surprised when I recently tried Adagio Teas version of this Japanese classic. The initial sweet and nutty aroma of the dry tea transforms to a roasted rice and popcorn aroma as the tea steeps.
The translucent infusion has a nice lig...

Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China67 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 12th, 2011
This rating is when it is made as an iced tea, as I personally do not like this tea warm, but I think it makes an incredibly delicious, and refreshing iced tea in the summer.

Peach Oolong (Peachy Oolong) from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2010
Ironically, this tea is significantly less peachy in aroma than a number of pure (unflavored) oolongs I've had, including Adagio's own Dancong Aria.
The aroma is mostly of roast, and the roast is quite heavy. The base oolong really reminds me a lot more of a Chinese oolong than one from Taiwan. A hint of woody ton...
Peach Oolong (Peachy Oolong) from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 4th, 2010
With over 50 loose leaf teas in my cupboard, this is one of my consistent favorites. The peach aroma and flavoring is distinct, but not overwhelming. The nutty roasted oolong base continues to shine through. This is a solid tea at a great price.

Nov. 3rd, 2010
The initial dry smell is sublime - floral, orchid, just wonderful. It diminishes over 3 infusions, but never quite leaves.
1. 1.5 min.very floral with a veggie edge. Buttery smooth, thick and full.
2. 2 min.more vegetal, with the floral coming out as it cools. Not a green , grassy vegetal, more along a buttery squ...
