drank Blood Orange by Adagio Teas
100 tasting notes

Has a barely citrus flavor. Tea steeped light pink, very thin color. Drinkable, but mostly tastes like warm orange-y water. Didn’t want to steep very long initially d/t other fruit teas becoming bitter – steeped 3 minutes.

Tried again and steeped tea 5 minutes. Tea smells like orange medicine. Taste is a stronger citrus flavor, good and drinkable. Tried 10.2018

Flavors: Citrusy

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 9 OZ / 266 ML

drank Blackberry by Adagio Teas

Very bitter after 3 min (lower end of brew time). Tried again after steeping 1 min – still very bitter. High caffeine content. Online tips: better in blends vs. on its own. Tried 09.2018

Flavors: Berry, Bitter

Preparation

Drinkable, but not necessarily enjoyable. Tastes like unsweetened berry water. Not sweet, but not bitter. Does not induce any puckering. Might be better with citrus, or a sweetener? Would require a LOT of sweetener. Soaked 2 sachets in a pitcher for 12 hours. Tried 09.2018

Flavors: Berry, Tangy

drank Peach Bellini by Adagio Teas
100 tasting notes

Doesn’t contain any tea leaves. Has a strong, solid peach smell, and doesn’t lose the peach smell as it cools. It’s like drinking flavored water but not in a diluted/gross way. Tastes great hot. Would be great mixed with other teas. Steeping less than 5 minutes = too weak. Tried 09.2018

Flavors: Peach

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 9 OZ / 266 ML

drank Full Power by Dollar Tea Club
100 tasting notes

The sheer number of ingredients made me wary, but they complemented each other nicely without being too strong or confusing with competing flavors. The peppermint might have stood out the strongest. Overall the tea was soothing and would be great with an upset stomach. [Also contains mullein]. Tried 12.2018

Flavors: Lemongrass, Peppermint

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 9 OZ / 266 ML

Flavors: Lemon, Lemongrass, Pineapple

drank #94 Ruby Amaretto by Tea Revv
100 tasting notes

It tasted strongest of rooibos with some licorice. The amaretto was detectable in the scent. It was overall a gentle rooibos tea. Less sweet than the Republic of Tea African Rooibos.
Recommends adding a dash of milk or mix with hot frothed milk for a lattea. Tried 12.2018

Flavors: Almond, Licorice, Rooibos

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 9 OZ / 266 ML
