“Adagio Teas was founded in 1999 with the aim of providing consumers with unmatched quality and variety of teas. It has become the most popular destination for tea online, and among the highest rated companies. Their goal is simple, deliver the best quality gourmet tea from around the world, straight to your cup.” I’m excited to share this wonderful blend from their zodiac series.
Ingredients: Black tea, Raspberry pieces, red safflowers, creme flavour, vanilla flavour, bergamot flavour, raspberry flavour
Steep Time: 4 minutes
First Sip Thought: “Oh, sweet Archer!”
Smell: A very sweet aroma with hints of bergamot and vanilla lingering before and after steeping this tea. I get a bit of a chocolate scent after the tea has steeped, too. Before even opening the packaging, the smell of the tea was escaping and filling the air.
Taste: I think the concept for this entire line is really neat. Of course, I’m obsessed with anything zodiac so the moment I got the chance to try my own sign’s tea I jumped on it. The zodiac tea line was created in collaboration with designer Inguna Trepsa of NYC. I was really impressed with how wonderful the tea was presented. The loose leaf tea in enclosed in a beautifully designed tin that can easily be reusable. I feel the taste does not match up to the aroma very much because while it smelled like an earl grey, the tastes tells a different story. The raspberry flavours shines and the creaminess helps soften the flavours making for an incredible cup. They subtle vanilla taste makes for a great treat at the end of each sip. Add a splash of frothed milk with a sweetener and you may just have my next favourite tea latte. Think a London Fog twist. I’m a Sagittarius, so I may be biased, but this blend was marvellous.
This sounds delicious. I too love all things Zodiac. Heck, I even have an Aries symbol tattooed on my arm. It has been some time since I have had anything from the Zodiac Series. I think it is time I revisit it.
@Rachel C – iHeartTeas Haha. If I ever had the guts to get a tattoo it would probably be of the Sagittarius symbol too 🙂 I have never tried any from the zodiac series before and I think I read the Sagittarius one I tried is a change from the original one. So I wonder what that one was like!
