(PART 2/4 of Adagio’s Sweet tooth Sampler)
Cream
Out of the bag, it smells divine, exactly like vanilla pudding, hmmm… When brewed, it still does, but the vanilla is becomes less pronounced and smells more like an actual tea with hot cream soda, but also a bit… weird which is my only complaint about this tea. As for the taste, I was kinda disappointed that it didn’t taste more like the way it smells in the bag. however it does taste exactly like a black tea with a dash of cream ! A pleasant and a subtle everyday morning blend especially with a little sugar and/or milk/cream. Probably one of my favorites from Adagio.
Now, it is good, sure, but people expecting it to taste more like hot ice cream/pudding instead of a good old regular Ceylon base with a tiny hint of flavor will be disappointed if not a bit bored with Cream. But if you don’t, you’ll love it. It is also wonderful when blended with other teas, so I sometimes use it to soften some teas I find otherwise too strong and it goes well with almost anything.
Flavors: Cream, Custard, Milk, Tea, Vanilla
