Adagio Custom Blends, Rachel Spear

I got this and other teas from a buddy. This is my first cup of this today but my third cup of this tea in general. I can see all of the ingredients. Dry this smells like peach with abit of vanilla. I steeped this up. I always add sugar by the way. This taste like a good light to medium peach taste with some vanilla and I can taste the black tea. This tea is really good I like that the vanilla is not overpowering.

Thanks Rachel for the opportunity to try this one!

This was a bitter tasting black – the flavor I could taste more than the others was the rummy-type taste. I could really smell anything prior or during the infusion. And I could really taste peach or vanilla.

This wasn’t a bad taste just not what I expected at all. The black tea taste was very strong but the additional flavors were lacking.

The peach makes this sweet and tart and the vanilla is smoothing it over. All and all a decent blend.

I’m on the fence about this one. I think I need to take a break from the Signature Blends because they are starting to all taste really similar. This one tasted a little different, but still very similar to the other SBs I’ve had. Maybe the flavors and scents became all mixed together in the SB box. I liked the peach and vanilla in this, but I couldn’t taste the rum. This one was sweet yet warm at the same time. (I really need to expand my vocabulary). Decent blend, but not loving it. I’m in like not in love.

This was different. The taste was somewhat surprising. I didn’t know the blended flavors and so I tried to guess and ended up with caramel oranges. Which I’ve never had before. And don’t think I ever want to have. (On the plus side, hubby really enjoyed this a lot – so I suppose it is a personal taste thing).
