Lavender Lemon
Good balance of lemon and lavender, but overall the tea is just too weak. I put double the amount in my tea now, but it's still hard to get it strong enough. And the tea is only good for one steep.
-
Summer Rose
Was not a fan of the rose flavor in this tea - this was more 'old ladies perfume meets dried roses' and less 'fresh' or rosewater-like. Maybe I just don't like rose tea. I found the flavor to be very strong, so if you like rose tea, you'll probably like this. I will probably try this mixed with rose hips and hibiscus - might be more what I was looking for.
-
Teaster Marshmallow
I expected this to be a much sweeter tea. It kind of just tastes like a nutty green tea with sugar added. Not something that I would get again.
-
Thai Tea
Interesting tea, but not what I was expecting. I can only taste coconut in this tea - no other flavors. It's okay, but not what I was expecting for Thai tea.
-
Pu-erh Chorange
I was very excited to try this tea after seeing all the highly rated reviews, but ended up disappointed. The flavor is very earthy, but not in a nice way. There is only a slight hint of orange and chocolate in the aftertaste. Not sweet at all.
-
Rooibos Orange
Not a fan. The orange flavor was very strong, but not in a good way. The fruitiness didn't go with the earthiness of the rooibos.
-
Scorpio
I really wanted to like this tea since I LOVE all its components. However, I found the tea's flavor to be somewhere between bland and muddled. I wish it tasted the same way it smells (mango + chocolate)!
-
Green Rooibos
This tea has a good balance of earthiness, nuttiness, and some sweetness. Very nice for a quiet morning or night.
-
Libra
Great tea! Both this and Valentines are very similar - taste like chocolate and strawberries. I've really been enjoying the Zodiac teas.
-
Valentines
Great full bodied, flavorful tea! The flavor is reminicent of chocolate, strawberries, and roses - and is aptly named. I still can't figure out if I like this one or the Libra tea better (they are very similar).
-
Rooibos Cinnamon Apple
The apple flavor is too light and is overshadowed with the cinnamon flavor. It's a good tea if you really like cinnamon, but I would not get this again.
-
Rooibos Mango
This is similar to the rooibos peach, but it seems less flavorful. I also can't tell that this is mango flavor - the flavor is a lot like the peach. Was hoping for something closer to a true mango flavor.
-
Honeybush Hazelnut
Strong artificial flavor and smell. I do not like this tea on its own.
-
Rooibos Vanilla
Thought the flavor was pretty artificial, not a fan. Might be good for mixing into other teas though.
-
Refresh Mint
A nice basic minty tea. This has a bit of a muted flavor - not quite as bright as some other mint teas.
-
Wild Strawberry
A nice flavor, but I mostly taste hibiscus. Quite juicy, but not very sweet.
-
White Strawberry
A nice, light, fruity tea. The flavors are quite subtle, but you have to be careful not to oversteep. Not the best if you prefer teas with bold flavors.
-
Zen
Seems like a normal green tea. I could not taste the lemongrass or other flavors. Just a nice, grassy tea.
-
EARL GREY
Very nice earl grey tea. Strong but not bitter. I prefer having this with milk or creme.
-
I LOVE LEMON HERBAL TEA BAGS
This tea would be great if it didn't have mint in it. Nice lemon and hibiscus flavors, but the mint just throws everything off.
-
CRANBERRY APPLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Very good fruity tea. Nice strong fruity flavor, although I taste more cranberry than apple. Good balance of sweetness. Not bitter.
-
RASPBERRY ROYALE
This is the perfect raspberry tea. Very flavorful and juicy, and not artificial tasting at all. Has a good balance of sweetness, and I personally don't think it needs sugar.
-
Awake English Breakfast
Very nice breakfast tea. Good flavor. I really like this with milk and some sugar.
-
Organic Darjeeling
This is a very light tea. The flavor is nice, but it really is like "champagne" in that it is light and airy, especially for a black tea.
-
Wild Sweet Orange
I found this tea to be a bit bitter and not all that flavorful. Did not remind me of oranges (or citrus for that matter).
-
Earl Grey
Like others have said, this has a great flavor. Very smooth. Although it's only good for one use, I find that it is a bit more difficult to oversteep and become bitter than some other black teas.
-
Chai Oraganic
A solid chai tea. Has that nice hint of ginger that most chai teas seem to leave out. Good on its own or with milk/cream.
-
Peach Serenity
Good peach flavor and not overly artificial tasting as some of the other fruit tisanes I have tried from Adagio. Shines the best as an iced tea, but I also like to mix with rooibos and green rooibos for a hot tea.
-
Raspberry Patch
I did not enjoy this as a hot tea. The flavor seems pretty artificial and overly strong. Did not seem particularly sweet either. This may work better as a sweetened iced tea.
-
Honeybush Apricot
Lightly fruity and not too sweet. Nicely balanced with the honeybush tea. It's really hard for me to tell this tea apart from the rooibos peach - very similar flavor. Really enjoy this tea during the summer.
-
Rooibos Nutcracker
Earthy, nutty, and sweet. This tea reminds me of the rooibos caramel turtle, but less sweet and a stronger flavor. I really like this tea during the holidays and when it is cold outside. Very good for fireside tea.
-
Green Rooibos Bonita
Very grassy with fruity overtones. Mild and well balanced. Not flavorful enough for me, but it also didn't have any off flavors. I tend to prefer sweeter teas, so this was probably not one I would get again.
-
Honeybush Banana Nut
This is probably my favorite tea! It has a wonderful smell - just like banana nut bread. The taste is more subdued, but still sweet and nutty. I was worried that it might be overly banana-y, but it isn't at all. There's just a hint of banana bread flavor - not artificial banana.
