 (45 reviews)

type: black

origin: sri lanka flavors

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

This flavor combines the full, bright taste of Ceylon black tea with the cozy creaminess of Hazelnuts. Very nutty and aromatic, slightly roasty with a rounded, sweet flavor. Toasty dryness. A mellow, very well-blended cup of tea. Great with just a touch of brown sugar. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

      The base of this tea is great and bitter at all. The hazelnut flavor comes out as a nice toasted nut taste, great with milk!

      I love hazelnut but this wasn't strong enough for me. Maybe nutty teas are just the wrong pairing for me.

      I love this tea very much with the nice roasted, toasty nice nutty comforting tea. This tea is great with cream and sweetener or honey, just a delicious treat for the autumn season.

    • 

      This tea is decent but not great. The hazelnut scent is very powerful and nice in that regard if you really enjoy hazelnut. The black tea itself is very tannin heavy and leaves your mouth feeling dry. The hazelnut flavor is barely there but the scent is strong. Good, but not great. Be careful not to steep too long on this one.

    • 

      This tea smells like hazelnut before steeping. I tried 3 min @ 170 because I don't like the bitterness of black tea. I could taste the hazelnut flavoring and the smell was muted, but the black tea bitterness is in the forefront. There's nothing wrong with the tea. It's probably delicious with milk and sugar, but that's not my style of tea drinking.

    • 

      Not a bad hazelnut, took a star off because it was a bit dry, taste was there, just not the mouthfeel

    • 

      This is definitely a decent tea. The hazelnut and black tea give it a good nutty flavor. The only reason it is not on my wishlist at this time is because with added chocolate oat milk it simply tastes like a weaker version of DT Hazelnut Chocolate. However if that gets discontinued this will replace it

      Most of the nut teas from Adagio have robust tastes that you can identify. Unfortunately, the hazelnut flavor doesn't come through in this one. Instead it's a bit more of a roasted taste.

      I did not enjoy this tea. The chestnut flavor was strong and for me, not pleasant.

    • 

      I should begin by saying that I don’t usually like hazelnut in beverages but this tea is very good. I steeped it at 190 degrees for 3 minutes and added rock sugar.

      if you like hazelnut this is really delicious and I agree - cream and sugar.

    • 

      For those who love hazelnut this must be a delightful tea. For me that is not my favorite but not the worst either. I steeped using 195 F water x 3 min and added monk fruit sweetener which made it now a nice desert tea.

    • 

      Lovely blend of black tea and hazelnut warm sweetness. One of my favorite Adagio teas. Very relaxing cuppa!

    • 

      I enjoy hazelnut teas but Black tea is so easy to oversteep. When I avoid overstepping the nut flavor is very enjoyable

      Toasty, warm, and blends really well. It's not the best of the nutty teas (that's Chestnut), but it's a close second.

      Maybe it's just me but I don't find hazelnut in tea to be a great representation of hazelnut as a flavor. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I think that's really where the flavor shines.

      I loved this tea with cream and sugar. I want to try to win over my mom who is a coffee lover with hazelnut creamer and see if she will switch to tea!

    • 

      Super yummy at 195 and 2 minutes. Anything longer and hotter (to me) was too bitter, but this was just right. I sprinkled in some brown sugar to sweeten it up, and it was very good. Would be excellent with some dark chocolate or chocolate chips!

    • 

      Very strong hazelnut aroma from the dry tea leaves. Steeped 2g per 8 oz water at 190°F x 2 min, and added a little brown sugar. The hazelnut flavor is pleasant. Great for blending with chocolate-flavored tea.

    • 

      Full-flavored tea with an aromatic hazelnut flavor. Smooth, rich and really nutty.

      

      I love the adagio hazelnut flavor. i especially love it in the honeybush. Here, the black tea kind of overpowers the hazelnut, and it's a little bitter. I always brew according to the directions on the package, so not sure what happened there. Still a good hazelnut flavor, better in the honeybush though.

    • 

      I prefer the chestnut tea when it comes to Adagio's nutty teas

      It's very similar to the chestnut tea, but just as comforting. I'd love to try mixing it with a chocolate tea or a cream tea.

    • 

      Best but free hazelnut tea in my opinion, though they could up the amount of flavoring.

    • 

      my spouse loves hazelnut flavor so we keep trying. so far not much luck but it's ok if you use double

    • 

      I loved the smell, and I love hazelnut in coffee so I was excited to try. But this had a big aftertaste of water and was disappointing. (It may have been how I made it.)

    • 

      I dislike the smell of hazelnuts, but they taste really good in this tea.

    • 

      A delicious, decadent black dessert tea - and excellent for multiple infusions!

    • 

      Just wonderful. Rich and full-bodied. Can't recommend teas that have hazelnut enough.

    • 

      Very rich hazelnut flavor. With a touch of sugar and cream it’s delightful

    • 

      Oh my! I’ve been a black “purist” for years - seldom pursuing flavored teas. After I tried a sample of this there was no turning back! I ordered more!!! I don’t care much for coffee so this gave a wonderful substitute!

    • 

      I really liked the flavor of this one. The Hazelnut gave it a nice flavor, I added a little milk and sugar to it.

    • 

      I adore the scent of hazelnuts so the aroma of this tea was amazing. Flavor wise it was rather good, a nice smooth and nutty taste that was great with the addition of some brown sugar and creamer

    • 

      This is a good tea. Not a favorite, but the hazelnut tastes great. I have a feeling this would be good mixed with a chocolate tea.

    • 

      i enjoyed this tea. has a lot of hazelnut flavor, but was a little bitter at the suggested temperature/brewing time

    • 

      Like many of adagio's flavored black teas, this is a bit astringent. I usually have to reduce the steep time. Once that's done, this is a nice, nutty tea, though it doesn't taste exactly like hazelnuts to me.

    • 

      a nice basic black tea with hazelnut flavors added

    • 

      I adore this tea. It's bold and just astringent enough to keep you on your toes. My favorite thing about it is that even if you smother it in cream and sugar it still tastes delightfully strong and nutty!

    • 

      I’m NUTS about this tea! Deliciously nutty, this goes well with a little cream and sugar

    • 

      I like it. I add cream tea to it as well to soften some of the boldness. It's pretty good.

    • 

      This tea is outstanding. I love the finish. I could even stand more hazelnut flavoring, because I love it so much!

      Super gross! Opening the bag smelled like something had died. I had high hopes, but they were dashed.

    • 

      This is a good, nutty tea. I typically drink it in the mornings and sometimes mix this one with the chocolate chip tea.

    • 

      One of my favorites! Doesn't require much sugar and the flavor is just amazing. Almost "dry" with a distinguishable flavor.
