Which comes first, the Cream or the tea? If you're not sure, don't worry... neither are the English. However, its unanimously agreed that, whether you prefer your tea first, or Cream first, this dairy-free Cream flavored Ceylon black tea is a treat for your teacup! Sweet, inviting and warm, with a delicate Creamy consistency and aroma of fresh black tea. Pleasantly brisk and very refreshing. Teatime calls...

      The creaminess is very enjoyable; I like how it's not very sweet as some vanilla might be.

    • 

      Love, love. love and totally enjoyed this dreamy cream black tea blend. I enjoyed bot hot and iced and make a delicious tea treat. I used milk and or sweetener.

    • 

      When this tea first came out, I really didn't like it. But now that I'm better at brewing black teas correctly, I enjoy the subtle sweetness of this tea, and I love blending it with other teas to add just that touch of creamy sweetness. Nice hot or cold brewed. :)

    • 

      I don't add milk or sugar to my tea, which would probably have enhanced the overall flavor. Good quality based tea but not enough cream flavor punches through for me.

    • 

      A perfect tea to blend with other teas that need to be smoothed out a bit. Wonderful light creamy flavor.

      I love this as an everyday tea. It tastes slightly creamy without adding milk and has a mild and not overwhelming flavor. You are definitely able to drink several cups in a row.

    • 

      Cream was the dominant note, a nice vanilla creamsicle note that mixes well with other robust teas.

    • 

      This is my favorite of all the Adagio teas I've tasted. The leaves smell like ice cream, and the brewed flavor is lovely without anything added to it. The blend is well-balanced, too, so the flavor is very enjoyable without being overbearing. Love it! I'm so happy they are making a decaf of this now, too. It's also nice for mixing franken-flavors - I've mixed it with chocolate and vanilla teas, as well as a pinch of peppermint (individually) and had yummy outcomes.

      It's okay. The cream flavor is not very strong/distinct. If I hadn't known it was cream, I wouldn't have known, so to speak.

      This tea is very rich. It doesn't have a vanilla flavor per-se, but it has a definite vanilla scent.

    • 

      Delicious tea, it was perfect aroma and flavor. I use it now to add cream flavor to there teas

    • 

      Cream needs to be steeped for a shorter time at a lower temperature. 2 to 3 minutes at 190-200 degrees is best. Any longer or hotter than that and it gets unpleasantly bitter. It also makes a nice blender tea, but you have to stick to the same rule or else have a twinge of nasty bitterness.

    • 

      This is a good black tea with a sweet cream flavor. It's great mixed with other flavored black teas too.

      This was a very good tea esp with adding some additional cream. I also enjoy it with some raw sugar. This is a nice strong black tea.

    • 

      Creamy aroma and flavor. The tea needs to be brewed at a lower temperature to ward off the Ceylon's bitterness. Astringent finish. Great for adding to blends!

    • 

      Like cookies and cream without the cookie, there's a refreshing sweetness to this tea. It's best with just a touch of rock sugar, and pairs well in blends with fruity teas. Strawberry goes especially well.

    • 

      The tea has a vanilla aroma and taste to it reminiscent of a vanilla buttercream cupcake. Very good tea and great in blends as well.

      I really like the light cream flavour in this tea, which works well without milk to add a different dimension to black tea.

    • 

      This smells really good in the bag. It was bitter when I brewed it at the rec'd time and temp, I had to put stevia in it. I have started brewing black teas at a lower temp and/or for not as long, so I'm going to try that next time with this one. I think this would be a good one to blend with Adagio's fruity teas (going to do 1/2 and 1/2 peach and cream, yum).

      One of my favorite Adagio black teas, mainly because it blends so well with many of the other flavors. It's a mild taste, but definitely creamy.

    • 

      I thought I would like this more. It’s sweeter than I thought it would be.

      On it's own it has a gentle vanilla cream flavour and a great scent. I feel like mixing it with the maple oolong might be really good!

    • 

      I detected a creamy/vanilla scent while brewing, but it was nearly absent when drinking. This was slightly astringent when brewed at 212F. I did a second brewing at a slightly lower temperature for less astringency. The cream is most noticable when you forget about your tea and have to drink it at room temperature.

    • 

      Strongly black with subtle flavour. Good when you want something not exactly sweet.

    • 

      Not very creamy. It tastes like black tea. Even with added cream I didn’t notice much of a difference.

      This tea stands alone very well but also blends with other flavors beautifully. Truly a gem in the Adagio crown, especially for its price!

    • 

      Creamy caramel sweet. A very nice black tea. I added stevia and unsweetened almond milk.

    • 

      A nice black tea. In both my CommuniTea sample and my 10cup sample from the Sweet Tooth Teas box, I don't really notice the cream flavor, I would prefer if it were stronger. But then again I'm used to adding cream/milk to my teas anyway. Perhaps if I compared it side-by-side with an unflavored black tea the cream flavor would stand out more. For now, it's a decent black tea. I switch between drinking it with a bit of additional cream and sugar, and using it to cut down spicier teas.

      This tea has a simple but delicious sweet creamy flavor. I like adding honey to it because I like my tea really sweet.

      by iteself, this tea is just so-so, but it makes a wonderful mixing tea! i add it to most black tea i brew for just that hint of sweet cream

      Simple tea with a touch of cream. Very pleasant and lovely tea

      Very simple but very good. This goes really well with milk. Yummy treat for every afternoon

      I adore this tea! You can really taste the cream. It's amazing with cream and sugar

    • 

      I love this tea on its own as a breakfast tea with milk and sugar, or mixed into other blends to add a smooth sweet cream base. Will always have a bag on hand.

      A very lovely tea with the perfect amount of cream flavor to make it special and delicious.

      I enjoyed this tea. I didn't notice much creamy flavor, but it did taste pretty good. It was a smooth tea and wasn't overly bitter.

    • 

      I add this tea to almost all the teas I make. It helps smooth out some of the flavors and give it a nice fullness. Love it. Must have.

      Simple black tea with a wonderful creamy taste and mouthfeel. Great for mixing or just on it’s own.

    • 

      A very nice black tea, great for mixing with other stronger teas for a smoother flavor and creamier taste.

    • 

      A nice smooth black tea. I was hoping the black tea taste would be much stronger but definitely one of my favorite black teas.
