Thai Chai Iced Tea
One of my favorite iced teas. It's got such a delicious blend of the chai spice and the coconut, so much so that I make this iced to drink indoors even when it's cold outside!
-
Masala Chai Iced Tea
This one isn't as much of a natural for the "iced" treatment as the Thai chai, but it's still tasty and has that distinctive spicy kick.
-
Decaf Mango
Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. A very distinctive but not overpowering mango flavor. I can't wait to try this one iced.
-
Teaster Marshmallow
It definitely has a sweet, fruity taste to it. I wish some of the sugary stuff came out a little bit more, but it's still delicious.
-
Almond
This is a super strong almond flavor and it's also sweet, pretty much exactly what you're looking for in a tea if you're an almond lover!
-
Berry Creme Compote
This is delicious! A very strong berry, fruity flavor, and it also makes a fantastic iced tea.
-
Pumpkin Spice
A really good blend of the various pumpkin spice tastes, with the clove and cinnamon especially standing out for me. I prefer the honeybush pumpkin chai but this one is fantastic too if you want a caffeinated option. Starbucks coffee gives me a headache, so this is a great alternative to the PSL!
-
Rooibos Pecan Turtle
I loved this one. It tasted like a caramel-y dessert, and yet it wasn't too sweet. It was just the right amount of that flavor. I received it in the Advent calendar.
-
Rooibos Nutcracker
This is a really top-notch rooibos! The spice and nuts and various flavors all come through together. Excellent for the holidays. I received it in the Winter Teas box.
-
Christmas
While I don't like it as much as some of the other holiday teas Adagio has on offer -- there is a bit too much going on -- it still has that distinct spiced, fruity flavor combo that really makes you think of the holidays. Good for when you want to feel festive!
-
White Chai
This was yummy, but I felt like the taste could have been a bit stronger. There is just enough hints of spice to still give it that "chai" taste, but it's not as strong as some of Adagio's other chais. Still enjoyable enough that I would drink it again, though.
-
Honeybush Banana Nut
This is so yummy, and it really does taste like a banana pastry that you got fresh from a bakery. It smells great, too, but thankfully the smell is also reflected in the taste of the tea. It also re-steeps well the second time!
-
Pomegranate Grove
I got this in the advent calendar and the "winter teas" set. This is delicious hot and I bet it would also be delicious iced. There is a really strong fruity flavor here, including the pomegranate but you can taste other notes there too. Deliciously wintry.
-
Cherry Marzipan Oolong
I got this in the Advent calendar and it's a definite new favorite! The cherry flavor really shines through and it has the effect of tasting a decadent dessert.
-
Gingerbread
Very distinct gingerbread taste here, it feels like you're drinking a cookie! A new holiday favorite for me.
-
Watermelon Cooler
This has a very strong, refreshing watermelon flavor. It tastes great either hot or iced!
-
Chestnut
Though the scent is a bit better than the taste, I still really enjoyed this one. Has a defined nutty taste that fits so well during the holidays. Be careful not to oversteep though.
-
Yuletide Toddy
I really love this one! I got it in the Winter teas box. It is very fruity with a really nice touch of spice. A great nighttime treat.
-
Earl Grey Bravo
This is a great strong Earl Grey, with a prominent bergamot flavor mixed with fragrant black tea.
-
Masala Chai
Sweet, creamy, very spicy....this is just the perfect chai and I want to drink it all the time.
-
Candy Apple
This tastes very much like what it claims to be, especially iced and especially if you steep it for a bit longer than recommended.
-
Thai Chai
This adds a nice coconut, citrusy (from the lemongrass) addition to the normal spiced creamy chai taste. It works well in blends too.
-
Chamomile
It's basically what it says on the tin, but a very high quality chamomile flower. It works great in tea blends too.
-
Chocolate Chai
This one improves a lot adding it to blends or drinking it with milk or cream. I like it but I feel like the chocolate flavor could be stronger.
-
Lychee Rose Green
I can definitely taste the lychee here, and it also reminds me of pear. Specifically this is very similar to the Japanese Detox tea from Palais de Thés which I already loved, but this one is less expensive. It's very Japanese.
-
Decaf Spice
This one is great if you enjoy the fiery cinnamon spice tea but would prefer something decaffeinated.
-
Spearmint
This tea goes really well in blends with other teas and still keeps a very strong, distinctive flavor. It's also great on its own.
-
Mocha Nut Mate
The caffeine on this is definitely strong and it does smell and taste quite a bit like coffee. It's great in tea blends to give it a more coffee-esque taste.
-
Maple Creme Oolong
I can definitely taste the maple here but I wish it was a bit stronger because maple is one of my favorite flavors! It especially gets lost when you combine it with other teas in blends. But it is much more distinctive on its own.
-
Foxtrot
I expected this to be a nicely scented floral blend but the vanilla definitely comes through too, and adds a nice element to the taste.
-
Honeybush Pumpkin Chai
This is such a delicious, creamy chai, with a strong pumpkin flavor combined with the chai spice. It tastes great combined with milk or cream OR on its own. A new favorite!
-
CRANBERRY APPLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Good for a bagged tea. Both the cranberry and apple flavors are very distinct and make for a nice blend. Kind of like a cranberry juice cocktail as a tea.
-
Chai Pumpkin Spice
This tastes more apple-cinnamon to me than pumpkin spice, but it's still a rich, aromatic flavor that just screams fall.
-
Green Tea with Peach
I feel like this one would be really good iced, but even hot it adds a nice fruity touch to a standard green.
-
MINT MEDLEY
My housemates used to buy this a lot, and it sure lives up to the mintiness, but the other ingredients like lemon and florals put it over the edge into something more special. Just a really good combo of flavors.
-
Nightly Calm
I like how the fruit adds to the chamomile, making it a little bit tastier than the usual nighttime tea.
-
CONSTANT COMMENT BLACK TEA BAGS
One of the first teas I really like. Great fruity, sweety flavor, just always reminds me of family gatherings where it was on offer. Drinking it feels very cozy.
-
Green Decaf
There's not much of a different from the standard green tea, which is nothing to write home about but is an okay green tea.
-
Wild Berries
Really nice with a strong berry flavor, one of my favorite fruit flavors in tea. I think I would really like to try this one iced!
-
Chai
There are better chais out there, and this would probably be better with milk or cream added, but if you want a nice expensive one it isn't bad.
-
English Breakfast Decaf
This could use a stronger flavor, but it's nice to have an English breakfast that I can drink when I can't have caffeine.
-
Green Jasmine
I am not sure this is too different for me from the organic jasmine green. Pretty solid, but nothing to write home about. The jasmine aroma gives a nice touch though
-
Assorted Herbal Teas
How much I like all of these varies more than with the black tea sample pack, but I still appreciated getting to try several different flavors.
-
Black Tea Variety Pack
I appreciated how easy Twinings makes it to sample a bunch of their teas for cheap, with these variety packs.
-
Cranberry Nut Muffin Green
While it advertises itself as a December tea, this also makes for a great autumn treat. It's kind of similar to the Autumn Mist Green but with a subtler suite of flavors, so if that was too sweet for you I would highly recommend this one. I love them both!
-
Reindeer Fuel
I love this one! Such a great combination of different flavors that I love. It also really does its job of waking you up. You can drink it other times of year as long as you are fine with its distinctively holiday, candy-cane-esque scent. An important one to make sure you don't oversteep, or it just tastes like a strong black tea, without all its nice melange of flavors.
-
Calcifier's Hearty Tea Blend
Very strong high-caffeine tea, and the raspberry adds a nice fruity touch IF you make sure not to oversteep it -- or it will just taste roasty without much flavor. Really picks you up in the morning!
-
The Picture of Earl Grey
One of my favorite Earl Greys! The rose petals add a really nice aroma and a decadent edge to the flavor. I always feel so fancy drinking this one. The caffeine is noticeable but not overpowering.
-
Chocolate Chai Supreme
Creamy, sweet and with a distinctive chocolate flavor. I definitely want to try it iced or with milk next time.
-
Fiery Cinnamon Spice
A very strong cinnamon flavor and I got a bright red tea. It can be a bit overpowering, but I like it, especially iced. Great for when you're going for something unusual!
-
Green with Jasmine Organic
The jasmine adds a nice, fragrant bonus to it. Overall, this is a solid green tea.
-
Darjeeling
Far from my favorite darjeeling (I really need to try a great loose leaf one one of these days!) but it's a nice solid, strong black tea. It hits the spot.
-
Lemon & Ginger
The ginger adds a nice "pop" to the regular lemon flavor. I feel like this would be a really nice tea when you're getting over a cold.
-
Green Tea with Mint
Mint is a great addition to green tea. Twining's isn't my favorite green but the mint really freshens it up.
-
Buttermint
This was a really nice, refreshing, pure mint flavor. That is one of my favorite herbal tea tastes, so I am definitely trying this again.
-
Pomegranate & Raspberry
This had some nice fruit flavors, but it could have been stronger. I suspect it would be better as an iced tea/cold brew.
-
Spiced Apple Chai
I've had better chais and spiced apple teas but the combo of the two was very nice, a great cozy autumn or holiday vibe for cold days.
-
Earl Grey - Lavender
I really love earl grey when it adds some floral and herbal additions, and this was no exception - lavender was a really interesting, fragrant and calming variation. Based on other reviews, I want to try it iced.
-
Pomegranate Delight
The pomegranate was an interesting addition to the standard black tea. I wish more teas would try it.
-
English Afternoon
I like this a lot more than English Breakfast. It definitely gives some afternoon tea vibes. Not too complicated, but enjoyable all the same.
-
Prince of Wales
This is a nice, solid black tea. As others have said, it's not too bitter, but it also doesn't introduce any unique flavors. Smooth and it goes down easy.
-
Pure Camomile
Chamomile is not my favorite flavor but this does the job when you need a warm sleepy tea before you go to bed
-
Green Tea
It's not on the level of a really fancy green tea, but it's pretty good as bagged varieties go
-
Organic Nightly Calm
Peppermint is an odd choice for a nighttime tea, but it made the combination of flavors here much better. I usually don't like "nighttime" teas so I appreciated the unique flavor profile.
-
Irish Breakfast
I liked this a little bit better than the regular English breakfast. It's hard to describe, but it has an extra something
-
Mixed Berry
I love black tea and I love berry taste, and this was a great combo of the two. I could taste the blackcurrant especially.
-
Camomile, Honey & Vanilla
I feel like I've had too many chamomile teas, but the honey and vanilla definitely give it a special flavor.
-
English Breakfast Extra Bold
English breakfast isn't my favorite black tea variety, but I liked how strong it was.
-
Toasted Mate
I would like to try this in a blend or with cream and sugar. I can definitely taste the toastiness, but it's not as smoky as like a lapsang souchong - and as a lover of smoky teas like that I wish it were a stronger taste. I think next time I'd steep it for longer or add more tea. It definitely has the zing I expect from a mate!
-
TOWER OF LONDON
The blackcurrant flavor is not particularly strong to me, but it's still a solid black tea - a good morning pick-me-up.
-
HOT CINNAMON SPICE
This tea is very strong on flavor! Even if you re-steep it, it keeps its cinnamon taste so well. Sometimes it can be a bit much, but overall I love it.
-
Pure White
It's true that you need to steep this for a little longer, which is tricky for a white tea.
-
Earl Grey Decaf
A good variation on their standard earl grey but without making me stay up all night
-
Blackcurrant Breeze
I felt like the blackcurrant flavor could've been stronger, but regardless this was a good strong black tea.
-
Nutcracker Sweet
I know in college I couldn't get enough of this stuff, even all year round. It has a good mix of sweet flavors and standard black tea for a bagged grocery brand.
-
Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride
It's really true that for best results you need to heavily steep it, but if you do that, it's a sweet Christmas treat. My dad loves this one!
-
Gingerbread Spice
This is a decent sweet holiday tea, that I've always enjoyed around that time of year
-
Chamomile
Could be better, but this was my first chamomile tea from my childhood so I have some nostalgia for it
-
Peppermint
There are better peppermint teas out there, but this is not a bad one in terms of stuff you'll find at the grocery store
-
Honey Vanilla Chamomile
Chamomile is not my favorite flavor, but the honey adds a little something to it. It's not quite enough, but it's not bad for a decaf tea to help you snooze
-
Sleepytime Classic
I have lots of fond memories of drinking this as a kid to help me fall asleep! It goes beyond just a simple chamomile with all the other flavor notes.
-
Earl Grey - Jasmine
Jasmine isn't my favorite tea addition, but it adds a nice twist on the earl grey
-
Green Pomegranate, Raspberry & Strawberry
The various fruits add a really satisfying twist on a green tea.
-
100% Pure Oolong
For a mass produced bagged oolong this one is solid, though it makes me long for the loose kind
-
Pure Peppermint
I'm a big fan of peppermint teas, and this is a nice straightforward one - exactly what it promises to be. Very refreshing.
-
Pumpkin Potion
You really have to make sure that you steep it for the full suggested time, because that makes all the difference in terms of a thin flavor or a strong one. Once I did this right, I loved this tea. Strong pumpkin spice flavor, very creamy and delicious. I wish they'd sell this all year round!
-
Bella Luna Blue
One of my all-time favorite teas! And not just for the fun color change, but because the taste is as unique as the color. I'm glad I bought it in bulk when it was last available. It's fantastic iced, too!
-
Ghoul Gulp
Vanilla and coconut aren't my favorite flavors in tea, but I still enjoyed this one. It's really good if you just want something sweet and creamy, and a nice nighttime decaf brew.
-
Bat Brew
This is a really good, sweet chocolate chai. I cold brewed it and enjoyed it iced as well.
-
Cat Scratch
This is a fun sweet tea, the cinnamon and chocolate parts of it making it a good combo of autumnal and candy flavors. Great for Halloween.
-
Candy Apple Concoction
I liked how creamy this one is, but I felt that compared to the other Halloween teas, the flavor on this one could have been stronger.
-
Autumn Mist Green
I really love this one. It makes for a nice, sweet, rich tea with all the comforts of being warm inside on a brisk autumn day. The smell is strong but the taste is too.
-
Lemon Delight
The lemon flavor is very notable here. It is a good relaxing tea, and probably would be nice when you are sick.
-
Berry Fusion
I love berry teas and this was a very nice one! I think it would make a great cold brew as well, but I have not tried that yet.
-
Lapsang Souchong
This was my first lapsang souchong and it caused me to fall in love with it. Very smoky and delicious! Like barbecue as a tea.
