Adagio Teas
It’s the first full week of January 2019. I’m still finishing up the Holiday Blend K-cups from Peets Coffee and Starbuck’s Christmas Blend. I’m on that last of both of those and I can’t wait to get into the next pound of coffee beans that I have from a company I found on Instagram called Grounds and Hounds! I’ll go into more of that when I open the bag.
But this post is is about tea.
It’s been several years since I’ve seriously bought tea from anywhere other than the grocery store shelf. I can’t even remember where the idea came from to start drinking tea again. I believe I was watching a YouTube gal or read it in a book, I honestly… I don’t know. Yet, here we are.
I used to buy from Teavana, but they don’t sell loose leaf teas anymore (this tells you how long I’ve been out of the loop), so I started looking around for companies with similar teas and found Adagio Teas and decided to give them a try.
I spent about an hour on their site browsing their offerings and reading reviews. I was able to buy three sample sizes and small fan-created tin of tea for less than I spend on a pound of coffee. Each sample envelope makes several cups (up to 5 or more) and they sent me a complimentary trial size of a fifth tea.
I like the idea of samples because if I don’t like it, I haven’t spent a fortune.
The fan tin was a spontaneous add to my cart. They have fan created blends from Doctor Who to Harry Potter and everything between. There are so many to choose from. I love this idea. You can create your own personal blend of tea as well that has nothing to do with movies or television. One day I may get brave and try to create one.
I’ve been drinking tea in the afternoons instead of coffee for the last week or so. I’m enjoying it. I haven’t bought any new paraphernalia for tea. I’m using things I already had, like my Teavana single cup teapot.
Like I said, I’m not quite sure why I’m back to drinking tea, but I’ve also been drinking a crap ton of water, too, so… Though don’t worry, coffee is still my bestest friend in whole world, especially since 4am comes really damn early every morning!
If you’re curious, I’ll list the teas I bought and link to them below…
Do you drink tea? If so, dish please…
