 (25 reviews)

type: black

origin: china pu erh

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Pleasantly perky spices add warmth and sweetness to the mellow mineral notes of Pu Erh. Sweet cinnamon and anise with tingly ginger liven up the palate while soothing the soul. A great companion for a chilly day. Steep at 212°F for 5 minutes

      This is a favorite tea of mine, I drink it more often than most of my other teas. It has the murky earthy flavor of pu'erh tea while adding that spiciness to it. I like how the spice notes intermingle with the earthy flavors, it's a delightful tea to savor.

      Nice cinnamon and spice aroma from the dry tea. 2 min @ 212. Faint fishy scent but not enough to cause concern. A nice cinnamon spice flavor, not to strong, and a smooth tea.

      a great spicy cuppa with orange to sweeten it a bit. I liked the cinnamon and anise but could not detect the ginger, solid cup

      This is a fantastic spiced Pu’erh tea with notes of aniseed that I particularly liked.

      While the spice is nice, I am not a fan of most pu-erh teas and this is no different. I did do a 15 sec rinse but it did not help.

      If you Like Pu erh a nice earthy, mineral dark rich black tea, then with the most delicious mild spices...you will love this tea. I have tried this tea for years and I never grow old with this hypnotic earthy-spice blend.

      Lovely spice aroma and taste mixed with the earthy mineral flavor of pu-erh. Lovely tea!

      This is a lightly spiced, smooth tea. Adagios Pu-erh blends are all so delicious! The base is smooth and rich, lightly earthy. The spice blend is light and delicate, with no overpowering notes. Great with cream and sugar!

      I'm not really a fan of pu-erh. In fact, I usually have a hard time finishing the cup when it comes up in the CommuniTEA. This one really shook up the trend! It's spiced but not overly so and doesn't taste like barnyard. Drink up!

      This was a good chai-like tea. I can taste more of the cinnamon and orange in this.

    • 

      Really enjoyed this tea! I steeped at 195°F x 4 minutes. The spice leans more toward the cinnamon, and doesn't overwhelm the tea. I didn't taste anise, and that was a minor disappointment. I liked the tea both unsweetened and slightly sweetened, hot and cool. A great fall tea that isn't too heavily spiced.

      Smooth and rich tea with lovely spices. The cinnamon lends a nice aroma and the ginger a warming heat. The anise is light and adds a little spark.

    • 

      Simply delicious. The smoothness of this fermented tea blended with cinnamon, anise and ginger and citrus sweetness creates a very tasty cup of tea with no bitterness. Steeped 3 minutes at 185 degrees.

    • 

      Nice chai-like tea. I was afraid it would be too heavy on the anise, as I'm not crazy about that spice, but it wasn't. I prefer Chorange and Hazelberry Pu Erhs to this one...the Pu ERh flavor isn't obscured by spice.

    • 

      Maybe the cinnamon was a little strong but otherwise this one was nicely balanced.

    • 

      Very delicious, I like that I can taste the pu'erh tea without the spice being too powerful but adding enough flavour to be enjoyed. Like many of the other teas, this one has a delightful smell and the taste is just rich and wonderful.

    • 

      This was nice and mellow tasting, though I feel like this is stronger on the cinnamon than the other spices in the mix.

    • 

      The spices in this tea worked well together and I didn't think it needed any sugar. I rinsed my pu-erh before brewing, but I don't think you need to with this tea.

    • 

      I really liked this. The spice blend was nostalgic for me. This is only the second pu-erh I've tried and I've really liked them both.

      Cozy fall tea. No one ingredient stands out, they all blend together beautifully.

      Someone else used the term mellow and that’s a lovely word for this cup of tea. Not overpoweringly spicy but still nice and flavorful.

    • 

      Very mellow pu erh spice blend. I would rate this higher if I was a fan of spiced teas. This is a really good one of you like them.

    • 

      A nostalgic taste that holds up well to a second steep. It tastes like the holidays, warmth and coziness.

    • 

      A nice and spicy Pu-erh, if you generally like spices in your tea, you'll like this one.

      A very well balanced tea. The spice is not overpowering.
