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.

Tea

1-3 minutes at 180°

This is a sweet, light yellow green rea with a hint of twings. This might not sound to appatising, but it’s really quite nice. It makes what would be a fairly strong green tea, much milder without losing the wonderful flavor of the tea.

I’ve found that this tea benefits from re-steeping it several time. This helps release its full flavor as it refilters the tea.

I would recommend this tea to anyine who is new to green teas and isn’t looking for anything too strong, or to the tea conasor who is looking for something different.

Green tea from Japan that is an unusual combination of green leaves and thin white twigs. Twigs you say? Yes, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. A sweet infusion with herbal overtones and welcome hints of chestnuts. When feeling adventuresome, please give our “Kukicha Baton” tea a try. And revel in its unique, playful taste.

Jing Anui Green

Tea

1-3 minutes at 158°F (70°C)

This is a very rich green tea that is packed with flavor. It suprisingly has more of a roasted flavor than I would expect from a green tea while remaining mildly sweet. Anyone who enjoys natural green teas, is sure to enjoy this one.

Grown in Anhui Province, Eastern China at 900 meters in an area of heavy mist and cloud cover with cold temperatures and short periods of sunlight, its total annual production does not exceed 50kg. The hard environment combined with fertile soil yields very vibrant and healthy plants and, although they produce a low yield, each leaf is packed with nutrients and flavour. The tea is only harvested in early spring. After picking, it is withered until soft and then pan-fired in a wok to arrest any further oxidation. The pan-firing softens the leaves further, allowing them to be shaped by gentle hand-pressing. The tea is then very gently roasted until dry over charcoal fire.

This sweet green tea has soothing citrus flavor. When I bought this one, I thought it would taste somewhat range in flavor, but to me it has more of a lemon taste.

If you like to have a little lemon in your tea, then this one is worth a try.

Green tea from China with the delicate flavors of orange and cinnamon. A happy marriage of great taste and proven health benefits. Just the right touch of added flavors to liven up the cup. Makes a light and refreshing drink that’s popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this lightly flavored tea may be a good place to begin.

This is a wonderful light green tea with a touch of blueberries. I mix equal amounts of these two teas. Then steep it quickly for 3 minutes. This tea will have the intricate flavors of a fine green tea with just a hint of berries. It becomes a very pale purple, and is great for the evening.

This tea was a great surprise. I never expected a tea that looks like this to taste so good. I had envisioned a much earthier green tea. Instead, I was greeted with a hearty mesquite flavor. Man… this is good. I’m going to have to get a larger container of this of. My sample tin won’t last long.

Wow, this is sweet for a green tea. This green tea has a naturally sweet flavor. When combined with a light citrus flavor, you end up with an incredible green tea with a hint of lemon flavor. I usually prefer my green teas hot, but this is one of the few that I actually like cold too.

Green Pekoe BluesAdagios Green Pekoe Bliues is a great earthy green tea. It has a medium body and mild smell. The flavor isn’t extremely strong, but isnt mild either. Personally I only like this type of tea hot, but if you like a very natural, sugar free tea, this may be the tea for you.
