This smells deliciously of orange and vanilla. And, oh, it tastes good. The honeybush and Ceylon blend into each other for a very mild and soothing base. Happily I can’t taste any weirdness from the rooibos. Surprisingly, the gingerbread and vanilla are the most prominent of the flavors, with maybe a hint of orange here and there. The flavors are subtle, but definitely add something to the blend. This is the sort of tea I could drink every day. It’s unique enough to stand out from the crowd, but simple enough to be homey and comfortable. Defintely suits the Ponds. I do wonder where the gingerbread flavor comes from. I didn’t realize Adagio had a gingerbread flavored tea. I’ll have to check it out.

I haven’t had the gingerbread tea separately, but most people compare it to a weaker Masala Chai. Have you tried steeping it at different lengths? When I reviewed it with my friends, one of them said they wanted more bitterness, so we steeped it longer the second time which gave it more of an orange flavor. Thanks for the review. I made the teas publicly viewable on Adagio as well.
I’ll have to try that, since I’ll definitely be drinking this again. It was delightful as is, though.
