I think this is Day 5 of my Barnes & Noble Tea advent calendar? I’ve always been quite fond of chamomile tea and this one was no exception. A smooth and velvety mouthfeel accompanies the strong fragrance and taste of the herbal florals. It almost instantly made me feel more relaxed after a very stressful workday. Something about this specific chamomile felt very luxurious and special. Would definitely recommend for those who already enjoy chamomile.

This tea has gotten me through a lot of cold winter mornings this year, and I’m a bit sad to be finishing the last of it today. There’s a slight tartness from the cranberry that pairs really well with the subtle sweetness of the hibiscus, and there’s just a hint of ginger beneath it all that brings it all home in a warm, inviting way. I thoroughly enjoyed this tea.

This is very likely the best tasting earl grey tea I’ve ever had, or at least a top 5. I love the notes of vanilla that come through, there’s such a delightful sweetness that complements the bergamot without being overpowering. Sadly today I’m finishing the last of this tea, but it’s definitely going on my list to buy more the next time I’m at Adagio. LOVE this tea and everything about it!

I’m thrilled that it finally feels like fall outside after a brutally hot start to October. The windows are open, the crisp cool air of autumn is permeating the house, I lit a candle, and as I’m working on troubleshooting SQL issues, I decide to have the rest of this lovely blend. I’m fortunate to live within driving distance of an Adagio Teas store, and last time I was there I picked up a variety pack of autumn-inspired teas. This was one of the four blends, and likely my favorite of the bunch.

I love everything about this tea. It is the quintessential blend of fall flavors that all work so well together and romanticize the entire experience. I adore the creme brulee coming through without being too strong, leaving room for the apple and cinnamon to shine. The mouthfeel is malty and smooth. It is fall in a cup, and I couldn’t really ask for anything more. Will definitely buy more of this next time I’m at Adagio.

Wow, I knew the moment I opened this bag that I would enjoy this tea, and I was not mistaken! I love basically all earl grey teas, and I was initially skeptical that this one would taste too artificial. However, the notes of vanilla and citrus are most pleasant and taste as natural as can be. I also enjoyed that there is a nice strong presence of bergamot here – though that could be because I used a tablespoon of tea instead of the recommended teaspoon per cup. In all, this was extremely enjoyable and I look forward to having more of this tea.
