Loose Leaf Tea Samples: The Easiest Way to Find Your Favorite Tea

Buying a full pouch of a tea you have never tried is a gamble. Adagio's tea samples take the risk out of it. Choose as many teas as you like for $0.75 each, brew them at home, and decide which ones deserve a place on your shelf before you commit to a full-size pouch. New customers get free shipping on every product on this page.

Samples work best when you use them to compare. Brew two or three teas in one sitting, taste each one plain, and keep a short note on what you liked. Then order full-size pouches of the favorites and leave the rest behind. It is the lowest-risk way to explore loose leaf tea, whether you are brand new to it or looking to branch out.

How Much Tea Is in Each Sample?

Each sample contains about 5 grams of loose leaf tea, enough for about two cups or one pot. Samples are priced per tea, so you can add a single tea to your first order or build a large tasting set. Because every sample is its own tea, you decide exactly what you are trying and how many varieties to explore.

Browse Tea Samples by Type

The sample list is organized by tea type, so you can jump to the style you know or explore one you have never tried. Every tea shows its ingredients and a caffeine label.

Herbal Tea Samples

The herbal samples span floral, minty, fruity, and spicy cups. Chamomile, peppermint, and lemongrass are here as single-ingredient classics, alongside blends such as Lemongrass Ginger, Turmeric Bliss, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, and Peach Serenity. Fruit-forward options include Berry Blast, Wild Strawberry, Blood Orange, Dragon Fruit Dream, and Fruit Medley. Most herbal samples are labeled no caffeine. The exceptions are the mate blends: Mocha Nut Mate is labeled high caffeine and Samurai Mate moderate caffeine.

Rooibos and Honeybush Samples

Rooibos and honeybush are naturally sweet, caffeine-free alternatives to black tea. The samples include plain Rooibos and Honeybush, plus Rooibos Caramel, Rooibos Vanilla, Rooibos Earl Grey, Honeybush Banana Nut, Honeybush Hazelnut, Honeybush Vanilla, Green Rooibos Blueberry, and Green Rooibos Bonita. Rooibos Pecan Turtle is labeled trace caffeine, so check the label on each tea if you need to avoid caffeine entirely.

Black Tea Samples

Black tea samples range from everyday breakfast blends to single-origin teas. Try English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, or Scottish Breakfast for a classic morning cup. For single-origin character, sample Assam Melody, Ceylon Sonata, Spring Darjeeling, Darjeeling Sungma Summer, Yunnan Jig, or Yunnan Noir. Golden Monkey offers a rich, sweet cup, and Lapsang Souchong is the smoky choice. Earl Grey Bravo and Earl Grey Moonlight cover the bergamot lovers. All are labeled high caffeine.

Flavored Black Tea Samples

If you are used to flavored teabags, start here. The flavored samples pair black tea with dessert, fruit, nut, and spice flavors, including Chocolate Truffle, Butterscotch, Campfire S'mores, Hazelnut, Almond, Coconut, Cream, Mango, Peach, Vanilla, Sweet Cinnamon Spice, Thai Tea, Tiger Eye, and Kentucky Bourbon. They are labeled high caffeine.

Green Tea Samples

Green tea samples let you explore how much the style varies. Sample Japanese teas such as Sencha Overture, Gyokuro, Genmai Cha, Hojicha, and Kukicha, or Chinese teas such as Dragonwell, Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, Jasmine Yin Hao, and Gunpowder. Sleeping Dragon and Citrus Mint Green round out the list. They are labeled moderate caffeine.

Oolong Tea Samples

Oolong sits between green and black tea, and the samples show the range. Try Ti Kuan Yin, Formosa Oolong, Fujian Rain, Golden Flower, Jade Oolong, or Milk Oolong for traditional profiles, or Peach Oolong, Almond Oolong, Maple Creme Oolong, and Coconut Grove Pouchong for flavored versions. They are labeled moderate caffeine.

White Tea Samples

White tea is the gentlest style. The samples are White Peach, White Blueberry, and White Eternal Spring, all labeled low caffeine and well suited to a light afternoon cup.

Chai Tea Samples

The chai samples include Masala Chai, Raja Oolong Chai, and the caffeine-free Rooibos Vanilla Chai, so you can compare a classic black tea chai, an oolong chai, and a rooibos chai side by side.

Choose Tea Samples by Caffeine Level

Each sample is labeled no caffeine, trace, low, moderate, or high, so you can build a set for any time of day. For evenings, choose from the herbal, rooibos, and honeybush samples. For a gentle afternoon cup, try the white teas. Green tea and oolong samples sit in the middle, and the black, chai, and flavored black teas are the strongest for mornings. If you need decaffeinated tea, see our decaf teas.

Sample Set Ideas

A Beginner's Trio

Not sure where to start? Pick one tea from three categories: Irish Breakfast for a classic black tea, Sencha Overture for a fresh green tea, and Peppermint for a caffeine-free herbal.

A Caffeine-Free Evening Set

Try Chamomile, Peppermint, Rooibos Vanilla, and Honeybush Banana Nut to find your favorite bedtime cup.

An Earl Grey Comparison

Sample Earl Grey Bravo, Earl Grey Moonlight, and Rooibos Earl Grey to taste three takes on bergamot, one with caffeine, one creamy, and one caffeine-free.

A Green Tea Tour

Sample Dragonwell, Sencha Overture, Gyokuro, Genmai Cha, and Hojicha to see how Chinese and Japanese green teas differ.

How to Brew Your Tea Samples

You will need something to hold the leaves while they steep, such as an infuser, a teapot with a strainer, or a tea maker. See our ceramic infusers, travel infusers, and tea makers. As a general guide, black tea steeps in boiling water for about 3 to 5 minutes, green tea in water of about 165 to 175 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 to 3 minutes, oolong in water of about 185 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 4 minutes, and herbal and rooibos teas in boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes. Each sample packaging carries its own steeping instructions, making them easy to follow.
