Adagio Teas has this astrological tea blend series that I really wanted to give a try. As a Pisces, I was drawn to the Pisces blend.
There’s a lot of flavors going on here — citrus, chamomile, black tea, rooibos, etc. — and sadly, the taste is more similar to what you’d find from a regular supermarket black tea. I really wanted to like this, but…nope. I’m not a fan.
Ah, chamomile — the plain jane of herbal teas. You’ve probably had it before, it’s available anywhere you can buy tea, and you probably already know about its health benefits.
It’s a nice mild tea great for bedtime. The buds smell of fresh cut apples and the brew tastes like light honey. It’s usually pretty affordable too. What more can there be to say about it?
Adagio Teas’ hazelnut black tea is a pretty stable offering when it comes to flavored black teas. Rich oaky Ceylon tea is blended with hazelnut pieces and extract to create a nice, nutty cup of tea.
This tea is great hot or iced and lends itself well to the addition of milk or cream. Don’t overbrew it or you’ll lose that hazelnut flavor!
Spearmint tea might sound a bit basic compared to most of the blends I’ve reviewed on here, but sometimes simple is best. If peppermint tea is too harsh, then spearmint tea might be right up your alley.
It’s a nice gentle mint tea — not too showy, and it’s great hot or iced. And if you have a small garden, you can grow this tea yourself!
Adagio Teas’ Pu’erh Chorange was quite a delicious surprise for me this morning! While I am not a coffee drinker, there are some mornings when I want that kind of earthy taste. This blend delivered it in spades!
Rich pu’erh is blended with orange peels and cocoa nibs to create a deeply satisfying cup of tea. All the flavors blend together nicely with no overwhelming tastes. Don’t let the odd name fool you — this is some good tea!
