• Vanilla
• Hojicha Fugue

I think I just found the perfect compliment to Hojich Fugue… Vanilla. This actually came as a bit of a suprise to me since I’m not very fond of vanilla black tea. When mixed with the rich, lightly smoky flavor of Hojicha Fugue tea however, the resulting tea has a wonderful aroma and flavor. The taste of vanilla remains light and simply compliments the great taste of Hojicha Fugue. I highly recommend this mix if you have both tea around.

Adagio’s Vanilla Tea
According to the International Ice Cream Association, Vanilla is by far the most popular flavor, getting a full 23% of all ice cream consumption. Inspired by this love of vanilla, Adagio has created Vanilla Tea. Combining the delectable flavor of sweet vanilla beans and premium Ceylon black tea, I’ll scream, you’ll scream, we’ll all scream for… Vanilla tea!
Adagio

Adagio’s Hojicha Fugue
Green tea from Japan that is rendered brown by roasting Bancha tea leaves over charcoals. The popularity of our “Hojicha Fugue” stems from its nutty and very accessible mesquite taste. The roasting process lowers its caffeine content. So if you are looking for a low-caffeine green tea, this is a wonderful alternative to our decaffeinated choices.

Wow, this was a nice way to wake up on the weekend. It reminds me of vanilla ice cream with chunks of nuts. It produces a strong, sweet aroma. The flavor is just as strong as the smell, and the caffeine is sure to wake you up when you want it.

Both Vanilla and Chestnut are fantastic teas by themselves. That great flavor follows straight to this wonderful mix.

With that minty smell that will clear your nostrils, a glass of chocolate pepperminttea is sure to please. Mixed at an 1 to ratio, this tea is very minty. For more of the chocolate flavor, use twice as much chocolate tea.

After leaving some of this tea in the refrigerator for a week. I’ve found that this makes an extremely pleasant iced tea. If you make it, make extra. Chill it, and try it later.

Optional:

1. Make it creamy. Add a splash of milk or creme for more of a hot chocolate taste.
2. Use to replace the water in a powdered hot coco mix.

Adagio continues to please with this holiday flavored tea. This chestnuttea tastes as good as it smells. Along with Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread, Chestnut will be one of my morning teas for the next several weeks. Full of flavor and caffeine, these teas are all good for waking you up when you need it.

I just may have to buy more of this for after the holidays. You should try it while it is still available.

Mild in both smell and flavor, this tea taste the average black tea with just a hint of Peach. It’s not bad, but nothing special either. It would be good for those times when your looking for a mellow black tea.

Tea

• Gingerbread

This morning I had a chance to try a nice, new, seasonal tea… Gingerbread. This is one of those teas that you can smell across the room as soon as you open the container. The taste isn’t nearly as strong as the smell, but the slightly spicy flavor of gingerbread still come through. This is a good pick for the fall season as the days grow colder.

Teas:

• Mango
• Mango Melange

6 minutes at 212°

For when a little bit of Mango in your black tea just isn’t enough. Spruce up your Mango tea with a little Mango Melange. This tea is still rich and dark, but has that nice tropical aftertaste. It’s best served hot, but it great any time of the day. It was perfect for my morning breakfast cake today.

Teas

• Pumpkin Spice

5 minutes at 212°

Just in time for the holidays, Adagio releases Pumpkin Spice. This black tea hints of pumpkin pie with a little spice and nutmeg flavor.

Personally, I think this is a great tea for the morning. It’s a wonderful substitute for your morning coffee. It has a great smell, rich flavor, and has enough caffeine to help wake you up.

While this tea is tasty by itself, you may want to try this simple mix. First, brew this tea with 1.5 teaspoons per cup. Then add a little milk, or soy milk. Now that makes a creamy tea.

Teas

• Sassafras Black Tea

5 minutes at 212 °

Sassafras tea has an extremely strong smell. I could have swore it was soda the first time I smelled it. I wouldn’t have thought of it for tea, but it works well. The taste is mild and the tea is not bitter at all.

Keep your brewing time on this one to 5.5 minutes max. Anything more and the tea becomes mildly bitter.
