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...

Our natural creme flavor is vegan-friendly and doesn't contain any dairy ingredients. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

      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.

      Ugh. It tastes so fake on its own, like canned cake frosting. On top of that it gets really bitter really fast if you oversteep it. The only use I have for it is as a blender tea.

      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.
