The CommuniTEA by Adagio Teas

Goodnight CT...I am hoping your Monday be kind to you. May you see the sun shining, encouraging you to take a step outdoors. Sleep well.

12:03 am

Happy birthday Lantson, Cathy, and Ashley

12:04 am

Cannot sleep. Stress overflow. After intense rehab sessions and second and third opinions, with doctors this weekend, I need to postpone my Sweden trip...I am sooooo disappointed but I can still only manage to lift my foot three inches. Not enough for snowshoeing.. Life will get better...come on 2025...throw me a bone.

12:13 am

Ouch, that sounds like it's been an ordeal. I hope things get better for you soon, Steve.

12:43 am

I’m sorry to hear this, Steve. I hope you can reschedule once your foot gets better.

01:29 am

Nancy it is my MCL---I have a level 2 sprain. If this was a desert hiking trip I would keep it and shuffle...I cannot risk sliding on snow.

09:24 am

PS

So sorry…I’m thinking of you Steve!

06:20 am

Appreciate it Pam.

09:24 am

Sad. I'm sorry. Glad you're making a responsible decision though. Hoping you do get that bone throw from 2025!

06:55 am

Thank you Angel. I keep thinking all it takes is for me to hit another ice patch the wrong way and then my leg goes from moderate pain to being stuck in a foreign land. I had put in tons of hours with a psychologist to get past the flying thing.

09:38 am

Aww Buddy...sorry to hear it!!! Feel better soon!!!

08:52 am

Steve, I am so sorry you have to change your plans and are having physical difficulties. I wish you a speedy recovery so you can return to doing the things you enjoy the most.

09:14 am

Oh no, Steve! I know how much you were looking forward to traveling. I hope you're able to make some progress soon!

09:20 am

Sorry to hear you had to postpone a trip like that. Had MCL sprain along with torn meniscus myself and I wish you a speedy recovery.

09:41 am

So you understand John....It is awful. I like to go exercise and walk daily but if I push myself, I end up regretting it as soon as it is time to relax. Mercifully I did not mess up my meniscus.

10:15 am

I'm sorry to hear this Steve. You made the sensible decision but it sure is disappointing 😞

11:28 am

So sorry to hear this Steve.

05:08 pm

I hope you feel better soon! 2025 is still early and I hope that it gets better for you.

06:55 pm

Sorry, Steve! That sounds awful. I hope you get better soon!

12:24 am

Good night

12:39 am

Hope you all had a great weekend 🙂

I enjoyed this tea the last time I had it. Enjoy your tea, whatever you are drinking today 🫖

12:49 am

PM

Beautiful mountain scape, Michelle. I can imagine it both with and without the filter and find that both would be a beautiful, awe-inspiring view to discover on a mountain hike. And tea is waiting back at camp.

12:57 am

Thank you, Paula. I'll be by the fire preparing the steep!

03:50 pm

Very strange, my newsfeed says I earned taste maker lvl 3 badge, but I still only have lvl 2 in my profile. Badges haven’t been working for me recently!

01:07 am

you may just need to clear your cache :) Congrats!

01:08 am

Hmm, I think I did, but it hasn’t updated…

09:58 am

oopsie!

01:08 am

Somewhat relatedly, is there a leprechaun one for this year?

01:27 am

we'll find out on the 17th...

01:40 am

Also when do anniversary badges update? I see a lot of people like me who still have anniversary level 1 badges, but we’ve been here more than a couple years haha. Is it like 5 years or something?

10:00 am

Mikayla, I do think the anniversary badge levels to 2 at 5 years and then level 3 for 10 years

11:01 am

Awesome, thanks!

01:30 pm

Well the championship went down to the last bout - a true nail biter but the Cowboys pulled it out. It was also the longest finals I’ve seen. Over 3 hours.

01:46 am

Good morning, everyone! Titus was so sweet and helpful yesterday. He jumped on top of mom's laundry bin to try to help us with laundry. 🤣 Then my new hair clippers came, our old ones just died, and he helped me unbox them and get them in their storage bag. The storage bag had to be inspected a few times just to make sure it was all good. 😝 Then Titus warmed up my chair by laying in it and, um, not giving it back. Hahaha! 😂 He is so sweet and funny. We love him so much! ❤️

02:50 am

Good morning

Happy Monday!🫖❄️

Have a great day everyone! 🫖🩵

Good morning! It should be tea delivery day for me today! ☺️

Morning

06:44 am

Good morning lovely Adagians! I hope you had a great weekend. Are you ready for the new week to begin? Monday's can be so full of promise. I hope you all enjoy today's tea or beverage of choice. God bless and have a super day! 😇🙏🫖📚🍵🍪...��

07:14 am

Marlicia, I'm sitting on my deck in a folding chair absorbing this years first warming sun while I read. I did not enjoy today's tea but I am relaxing and having quiet time while I sip Elderberry Wine which I did a fridge steep. It's beautiful and delicious. Have a great day.

02:34 pm

Well, Mary, it sounds like you are having a very peaceful enjoyable day, and Elderberry Wine is an amazing tea, if I remember correctly. I have never done a fridge steep, but I'm not much of an ice tea drinker anymore. Still it sounds awesome. God bless and enjoy the remainder of your day! 😇🙏🫖📚🎶🍵...��

04:00 pm

Workplace nap day, festival of life in the cracks day, blueberry popover day, and us paper money day, as well as lime day, pack your lunch day, and Mario day! Celebrate wisely!

07:15 am

I might be unintentionally celebrating Workplace Nap Day since I'm still adjusting to the time change. 😆

07:46 am

That's great timing on celebrating workplace nap day. lol

03:21 pm

Well, when I work, I always pack my lunch, so I have that one down. Also, I suspect Gladys' approach to filling the stapler might result in a bit of a mess...😅

09:27 am

Good morning! Starting the day with some Irish Stout and will have today's tea later.

07:39 am

Good morning! That sounds like an excellent plan.

09:22 am

We are in "The Spring of Deception" this week. I'm sure our "regularly scheduled" winter will return next week!

08:11 am

Same after last week barely breaking out of 50s today says 80° for the high. I enjoy the cold though so I am one of the oddballs hoping for more winter on groundhog day.

08:28 am

This week is actually looking promising for us down here in New Jersey! The highs are all over 50, and the lows aren't too bad either. 🤩

09:47 am

My daughter asked how we knew when it was spring, and I told her when the crocuses bloomed. Well....they bloomed over the weekend. The forecast shows we will get more snow later this week...

10:58 am

Nothing prettier than blooming crocuses peeking through some snow. They probably don't appreciate it though...

01:16 pm

I love your photo today Ruth. It's a guessing game every morning this time of year. Last week we had a touch of mud season and then everything froze solid. Today is very springish with winter coming back towards the end of the week.

01:16 pm

I need it to be gorgeous in SC in two weeks. Everywhen/where else, nature can do its thing. But I’m getting my first real week-long vacation in years (the first of several this year!!!) and I want to enjoy it to the max!

06:27 pm

Ginseng Green isn't available as a green tea option anymore, correct? I don't hate it, but it's not a favorite of mine. I like real ginseng tea even less though-- the ones I've tried are a bit too "zippy" for my liking.

08:35 am

I think it'll come back, reformulated.

08:49 am

I think you're right. I tried searching for it this morning and it's totally gone from the site. I can't have it anyway (ginger allergy), but I'm sad to see so many teas get chopped. Hopefully they'll be coming out with more new teas soon.

09:47 am

I agree, ginseng is a bit to much for me. I gave todays tea to my son to enjoy!

05:18 pm

Sun is shining bright. Time for tea.

08:39 am

Love Ginseng Green! Lookin' forward to whenever it comes back!! Enjoying my Beatles blend, this morn. 💓🎵🎹🎸🎧 https://www.adagio.com/234697

08:57 am

I used to drink Arizona diet Green tea with Ginseng. This tastes really close to that. All I need to do is ice it.

09:03 am

Tea friends, you are in for a treat today. I love Ginseng Green and will sip along with you later this morning. Yunnan Noir started our day. My hubby has a fixation on the word noir and loves to say it. He loves it when we start the morning with it...not only for the tea but also for the word!

09:12 am

I can relate to your husband. It is a fun word to say.

09:29 am

it's my favorite tea, and the name is just fun.

01:38 pm

Oh that is funny! I love to say Mustachioed!

05:22 pm

Morning folks, hope this Monday is kind to everyone after the time change. I'm thrilled about the longer days, but I know the dark mornings aren't awesome for everybody.

09:20 am

I have found in our house the mornings are not near as hard as getting our kids (5 and 1) to bed at their normal time 7:30 when there is still sunlight through the windows.

09:27 am

So true!

10:41 am

I would say at least it’s easier to drive east bound in the morning (rising sun can be brutal, especially when you have a lot of glass highrises), but I had the plumber and hvac guys over this morning and went in late. So I haven’t benefited yet 🤣

06:30 pm

AD

It’s been a minute since the last time I was in Hawaii but sipping on this Ginseng Green makes me feel like I ought to be listening to gecko calls and smelling plumerias while drinking it! A very pleasant experience!

09:21 am

Ooh what a neat memory association!

09:42 am

Good morning! Ginseng Green will be my afternoon sip after work, but I'm giving my new ToasTEA it's first test drive with some Earl Grey Bravo. I wanted something traditional, and the color of the ToasTEA made me think of the cornflowers in EGB. 😇

09:48 am

Good Morning y’all. I may pass today’s tea on to hubby. Im not a big green tea drinker, but I will at least take a sip to say I tried it. Besides, I may have something more calming and soothing, as work today will have me as busy as a one eyed dog in a smokehouse.

10:10 am

Nice origami, Tanya!

10:17 am

Thank you, Charlotte.

09:55 pm

AD

Good morning, all! ☕️

10:26 am

Good morning! I'm saving this tea for the afternoon. The sun is shining today and the weather will be in the 50s! Not bad for a Monday !

10:49 am

Happy Monday, everyone! Back to the work grind for me as I'm coming back from being off 2 weeks. 341 emails to sift through...😵‍💫

11:09 am

Hope you've made a really big pot of tea....

01:08 pm

GGoooooooooood morning Tea-Land!!! How in the name of this take it or leave it Ginseng green tea but it does need green :Bees; honey...sSo what do you think ladies and Gents?!?!?

11:19 am

I love the zing-yness and earthy and greenie-ness of today's tæ!!

11:31 am

Woodie, I am not liking today's tea. Perhaps I foiled it in preparation? Perhaps I do not like ginseng? IDK, more for you boys. No can do here.

02:39 pm

Too/to/two much. All the 2s much for me, thank you.

05:24 pm

I got my first special ability card ! yay!

11:23 am

What did you get ?

11:25 am

card search! to make finding trades easier! 😊

11:32 am

The Card Search card is a great one Debbie. I will never give mine away.

05:12 pm

Love the artwork today, Twyla! Woo forest vibes :)

11:37 am

I'm starting to send out the cards for the Spring Card exchange but am not putting tea in them. Sooooo, if you are sending to us, don't feel the need to include tea in ours, we won't mind in the slightest! I'm low on stamps, and if I wait to get them, who knows when you would get these cards! Soooo, they need to be light and tea free!

11:39 am

I am so happy with my flannel sheets, see today’s pic. I think they are cute and are super comfy! I thought they would be too hot since I am prone to running hot but so far so good. I just keep the window open

12:18 pm

Those sheets are really cute. I love flannel sheets. So cozy.

01:07 pm

That's an adorable pattern! I had no idea flannel sheets were a thing until a few years after I moved to Virginia. Life-changing!

02:26 pm

Hello and a very good morning to my dear tea friends. I hope you like my photo today it a kiss of Irish flavor with today's fun and tasty tea of the day. Happy Monday with all my love tea friends.

12:29 pm

Greetings! I really like the Ginseng Green tea for today. The ginseng gives it a unique taste.

12:33 pm

I’m still dragging from the time change. I put today’s tea aside for another day, I needed more caffeine so I made myself some chocolate chip instead.

01:19 pm

Michelle, Gladys filling the stapler with tea is hilarious!😆

01:21 pm

Good afternoon! I'm enjoying today's tea with a bowl of buckwheat soba. 🍵🍜

01:24 pm

Any chance your soba is 100% buckwheat? If yes, what’s the brand? I’m trying to branch out on my GF grains and noodles and buckwheat (and buckwheat soba) is high on the list, but every. Single. Bag. I’ve. Found. Has wheat flour as the first ingredient. On the plus side, I made a super gut healthy amaranth soup for this week and cooked a greens and grains salad tonight with Job’s tears and now I’m in love

06:40 pm

Unfortunately I've already recycled the bag, but next time I go to pick up more I'll keep my eye out for it! It was a Japanese brand I got at my local Asian grocery store, they have a large selection of noodles there so I'll take a look at some of the other brands they got too. 👍

07:42 pm

Also, that soup and salad both sound really good!

07:43 pm

Hey ya'll, I have a question and I'm hoping maybe someone here might know...are there any trading cards (other than the Zodiacs) that do not combine when you collect the required four? I have 4 Candy Cane cards that won't dance for me. :(

01:33 pm

I'm assuming you have them stacked on top of each other?

05:13 pm

Maybe try realign them. Perhaps one was slightly misaligned...??

05:15 pm

I think it doesn't work in the app, so try from the website?

05:27 pm

PM

Also it doesn’t work on the phone. At least mine don’t.

09:52 pm

I have 3 candy cane cards and they aren't dancing. It might be one that we can't upgrade.

09:50 pm

I thought you had to have 4, but I am still learning stuff everyday here so I could be mistaken.

09:58 pm

Happy Monday, dear friends. I hope your day goes smoothly. The birds started coming back late afternoon yesterday after we refilled the bird feeders. This morning they are out in full force! I saw 6-7 birds on one of the feeders at a time, including a mourning dove who sat on the tray and greedily reached in. There is typically much squabbling that goes on, and some are shooed away only to be replaced immediately by others. I have taken to scattering some seed on the unplanted part of the backyard near the feeders so there is t as much competition for a spot at the feeders. I swear I have seen at least 15 on the ground at a time searching and enjoying the seeds they find there. They bring me so much joy and peace, as does tea. This morning I am drinking a cup of Henry Albero, which is one of my very favorites because of its wonderful chestnut flavor. What are you drinking?

01:41 pm

PM

Irish Stout and Greek Mountain Tea

02:09 pm

JS

Sounds great, Paula!

03:38 pm

Started with the HP Skele-Gro blend (https://www.adagio.com/39617&searchTerm=skele), then made my own blend of Candy Cane and Peppermint because my migraine was still hanging on, then had some Always Nuts after the migraine finally receded.

02:24 pm

I had English Brekkie...in later morning...

02:28 pm

JS

Gee, Alyssa, I’m so sorry you had a migraine today, and I’m glad that the tea has helped.

03:42 pm

I had today's tea, ginseng green and a cup of Irish Stout early. Then made a pot of milk oolong.

02:39 pm

JS

Those all sound like great choices, Nancy!

03:43 pm

Jan, I tried today's tea, no go. But, I am sipping a beautiful fridge steeped Elderberry Wine in a non stem wine glass while I read in the sun. First day to sit out for more than 2 minutes. C,' Mon spring. I'm ready for ya!

02:43 pm

JS

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day, Mary.

03:44 pm

I started with a cup of coffee, took some Earl Grey Bravo to work, sipped our ginseng green after work, and I think I'll probably end the day with...peppermint or rooibos pecan turtle

05:17 pm

Peach oolong iced over here!

05:29 pm

Thanks Jan! Took some meds too. Better living through tea and chemistry!

07:51 pm

Do you find there are teas that help with that? I have dealt with migraines since childhood and once they pulled midrin from the shelves the only thing that kind of works for me is nurtec.

08:53 pm

Good Morning y'all

01:55 pm

Good morning!

02:05 pm

Happy Mario day (MAR 10) everyone!

02:31 pm

Adrian, That's cool. I've never heard that one before.

02:44 pm

I was surprised today wasn't (Princess) Peach tea in honour!

07:50 pm

Alyssa, I bought some princess tea for a tea party with the girls. I hope it's yummy

11:32 pm

Good Afternoon, work is all finished for the day, now, time to relax with one of my fav teas, Tanya G's Sweater Weather........

02:56 pm

Good afternoon 🌞

03:16 pm

Good afternoon, Jen! It's a lovely day here so far, I hope the same is true for you.

03:21 pm

Thank you Khrissi! We're enjoying the sun before rain this week 🌞☔

06:38 pm

Good afternoon! Took the afternoon off for a nice walk in the sun!

04:50 pm

Sipping Irish Stout this afternoon.

05:11 pm

Can't wait to do the same!

07:50 pm

235 days till Halloween 💜🎃💜 Happy Monday 🌞 it's sunny and beautiful today! What a treat, Sabby and I have been soaking up the sun in the bay window all day!!!💜🐈‍⬛💜

05:15 pm

06:45 pm

PZ

Today is national nap day, so I figured I'd do no caffeine and see how it goes! I've made it so far!

05:17 pm

Good afternoon everyone. I’m drinking a cup of Alaine’s Chae Na White https://www.adagio.com/192183 It’s a wonderful delicate white tea blend for afternoon sipping. I hope your Monday is going well. I got positive feedback from my new writing group this afternoon. It feels good, and fascinating to hear the other women’s stories as well.

05:19 pm

Finally getting around to ginseng green. I was worried honestly as I dislike ginseng and not a fan of ginger without quite a few other spices to go with it. It was actually kind of mellow and light though. Has just enough ginger to leave that bite on the tip of my tongue.

05:40 pm

Pleasant Surprise! I quite like it!!!

07:43 pm

Evening all!

05:41 pm

Good afternoon!

05:54 pm

Thank you to whoever ordered a couple of my bourbon blends. I hope you enjoy them, cheers 🥃🫖

06:41 pm

I will be having your White Oak this week with Bourbon Honey!!!

07:42 pm

Working more on the snake plushie. This thing is massive. I'm halfway done and it's almost as long as I am tall. The colorwork is hard, but so satisfying to see come together.

06:41 pm

Not my favorite tea today

07:07 pm

Today's tea doesn't really appeal to me. It's OK, I guess, but I'm not that big on either green tea or ginseng, so the combination of both here doesn't do anything for me.

07:32 pm

Welp...this bug that I had worsened Saturday and especially yesterday. I'm taking a DM "Nightshift" cold medicine and singing..."OoOoOon The Nightshift"...🎵🎸.....n! He was a friend of mine..." Hehehe.. 💚 Ultimate 🔥🎙🙇‍♂️~ Pure Soul! ⤵️ https://youtu.be/FrkEDe6Ljqs?si=rYWvt66gHisUPOiK

07:56 pm

Time change has gotten away from me. I somehow missed this morning.

08:08 pm

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Monday and wishing for a better Tuesday.

08:25 pm

Closing the night with some Speedy Recovery. 💚

08:47 pm

Feel better soon!

09:27 pm

Thank you!!!!

10:49 pm

Tired and tuckered out, but I did what had to be done. Even had a little energy to spare to finish the second half of Spring cards for the card swap. Now Im going to brew me up a nice soothing cuppa and crash out for the night. Talk to y’all in the morning.

09:21 pm

i am ready to go back an hour

09:41 pm

I have been without Internet since this morning. 😳. We called AT&T again late this afternoon and heard the same story, except hubby had to listen to about 30 minutes of conversation first with someone in India, then with someone who is probably in a Latin American country who spoke perfect English. He kept apologizing over and over, asked if we had had bad weather recently, asked if we disconnected the power source and reconnected it again (yes, I did, many times, and yes I hit the reset button only once but apparently that’s a big no-no). So today is the 10th, right? He finally comes up with oh, there is a problem in your area, the technicians are working very hard to fix it, and it will be fixed by 3/14 around 8pm, but it could be 24-48 hours before or after that……. Oh my gosh, I wanted to scream! Thank goodness I have been reading today, although I was sad that I missed the Dodgers game at 1pm, and I’ll be missing the Leafs’ hockey game at 7pm. Oh well. I only started Call of the Wild a couple of days ago and I’m 90% through with it. This is fun, and I have enjoyed these 2 books so far. I think a trip to the library is coming up soon to see if I can check out any other Fredrik Backman books rather than to pay to download them. I think it’s time for a cup of Rooibos Nutcracker, then off to bed. Good night and pleasant dreams to all.

09:53 pm
