Adagio Custom Blends, Lauren T. McCowen

I was hoping this was going to be more pavlova with candied lemons and cherries and instead I got Cherry Zebra Stripe gum. There’s some serious rooibos flavor in here, as well.

I’m hoping this is better iced.

Made this for the morning with half milk, half water and honey. My throat wasn’t feeling so good so I thought the milk and honey would help it. It tasted good but the mess it made in my finum was not even funny. It was so stuck it couldn’t even fully drain when I took it out. I hope I’ll remember to use a filter bag instead next time. I’m not sure I taste much flavor beyond it being a chai.

I’m glad I got to check out the fandom sampler sale before all the sets were gone even though I missed out on the firefly one. So I got the Pokemon one and Sherlock. Some spilled out from one of the tins but I can’t tell which one but the box smelled good and it can’t be too much. I randomly picked out this tin and it’s pretty good. At first it was too strong with ginger and spice but as it cooled it was better. The cinnamon makes it sweet and I like the vanilla in it. Seems like it would be better with milk so I’ll try that way next time hopefully.

Eevee is an adaptable Pokemon, and this tea is no different. The chocolate chai, hazelnut, and cream blend together wonderfully, making this tea a sweet treat. And while I didn’t drink this tea with milk, my SO did and said it was delicious.

Smells great in the bag and when brewed. All the flavors are there in just the right proportions. I see myself drinking it any time of day. Pika pi!

This is a sweet tea, smooth with just a little spice from the chai. None of the main flavors are overpowering, but they’re definitely detectable. It would make an excellent dessert tea and would likely be good with milk as well, though I haven’t tried that yet

I like this tea, but it can be fickle to brew at times, partly thanks to the green tea/black tea combo. Too high/long and you risk ruining the green tea. Too low/short and you don’t get the full taste of the black tea. But when you hit the right balance, the result is a fruity and grassy mix that Bulbasaur would approve of.

My friends and I all say that this tea smells like a cookie. It tastes pretty close to one too, warm and cuddly and just a little bit spicy. It is my morning tea of choice, sweet and delicious.
