Tuesday is supposed to be #treetuesday and a celebration of everything tree and foliage; not having had the opportunity to see any form of tree of interest of late, however, I decided to make the executive decision to allow myself an entry into a heretofore unknown tag, #teatuesday, and present another new-to-me-tea: Adagio's Raspberry black tea.
I have really been enjoying these Adagio teas; very flavourful and with ingredients that look ... well ... look like real ingredients. Take, for instance, the ingredients for this raspberry tea:
- Black tea
- Natural raspberry flavour
- Raspberries (yes! Actual raspberries)
- Raspberry leaves
How's that for a tea? Actual tea, and actual flavours!
I had previously tried out the Adagio Orange tea, which I found to be rather bitter, more bitter than I actually enjoy. I might like that one more if I put some cream into it. This one, however, is not as bitter, and the raspberry (the actual raspberry, not an artificial flavouring) acts as a natural sweetener. This particular tea I really, really enjoyed.
If you've read any of my previous tea-entries you'll remember that I suffer a severe allergy to nickel, which precludes me from using stainless steel tea strainers, as nickel is a common ingredient. Instead I use silicon strainers, and for this tea I used my Llama strainer, making it a callama-tea (hahahaha!)
The silicon doesn't modify the flavour at all, and it looks just cute steeping in the cup.
My recommendation is on the favourable side for this particular flavour of Adagio tea. It is a black tea, so is caffienated, and is best enjoyed in the morning or early afternoon. I found it to be a very nice after lunch tea.
