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.
This tea contains a high level of caffeine | Steep at 212° for 3 minutes.

I smell vanilla from the dry tea leaves. 2 min @ 165. There is medium astringency and faint bitterness. Not for me but probably much better with milk and sugar.

This is a simple but very nice smooth black tea with vanilla notes. Cream is not quite how I would describe it, but maybe because of the vanilla and silky feel.

This tea was okay, the flavor is enhanced with milk. Unfortunately, the flavor did not come out quite as strong for me.

Nice blended with other teas, but also good by itself. Great base for lattes. I love this tea blended with a cinnamon tea -- so good! Also wonderful plain when I want a black tea with just a bit of light sweetness.

I just love adagio's creamy, silky smooth cream black tea. I used milk or cream and also Splenda sweetener. The cream black tea is great for blending Fandom blends.

A wonderful tea! The smooth, creamy flavoring really works well with the bitterness of the black tea. It's a rare black tea that I really love! This is also wonderful for blending. Better hot than cold.

A delicious cup of tea with some sugar and no cream is needed! I brewed at 205 degrees for 3 minutes.

A fine black tea with a mild cream flavor. I think it would taste better with milk or cream added, but on it's own I found it a bit lackluster.

It's main use for me is as a blender tea. Alone it's a little underwhelming, similar to the vanilla. Be careful with it, since it's got a tendency to get really bitter if brewed too long.

The cream flavor smooths out the astringency of the Ceylon. Makes a great blender tea when you want cream flavor without the cream.

This was a nice delicious flavor. I tried it on its own and also added it to other black teas to add that cream taste. It’s perfect either way

This is good, but better as part of a blend than by itself. (195/3 minutes)

I was expecting more from this but found it too sweet. It’s too sweet for breakfast tea yet not good enough to be a dessert tea.

Nice, balanced tea. The cream's a taste at the back of the palate, after you swallow. Exhale. There's your flavour. Black tea with just a little something extra.

I found this undrinkable on its own. It definitely tastes like cream. But it has an unpleasant aftertaste. I could imagine it'd go well with another tea, maybe a black chocolate tea, but on it's own it's pretty gross.

On its own, it's fine. It isn't so much cream flavored as tasting like a naturally sweet, black tea. When you add a few chunks of rock sugar it starts to taste like a toasty marshmallow. I think this tea is best blended with other teas, which is when it does bring a slight sweet cream flavor to things.

Good but not nearly enough cream flavor. You have to add milk to bring it out, which to me, defeats the purpose.

I bought this mostly to blend with other things, but it's very good on its own too! When hot, the cream flavor is a little more subtle, but as it cools down, it becomes more noticeable. It seems pretty natural tasting too - not very artificial.
This tea shines in blends though! It adds just a small bit of creaminess to whatever tea you mix it with without overpowering the other flavors. I like it with any of the berry teas - especially cherry.

This is one of the smoothest teas I've tried from Adagio. It really tastes like cream, even though it's completely vegan! As someone with that particular diet, I genuinely can't ask for more for a cheap and delicious tea.

A super tasty, simple and comforting tea. It's like a cookies and cream ice cream without the cookies, but warm. On its own or mixed with other teas, this is absolutely delicious.

I really enjoy the cream tea in the morning with milk and sugar. I need to try what other reviewers suggest and add it to other teas.

It tastes a little artificial. I have never been a huge fan of black tea with cream, so this might've just not been for me

I add this to EVERYTHING I drink. I love the creaminess it adds without the actual calories of cream. So yummy.

This cream tea is very nice and has a smooth flavor that blends well with other teas that may be a bit too overpowering or tart. The cream helps to smooth out the tart flavors of other teas.
