White tea, chai spices with lemongrass, coconut, fruit pieces and peppercorn combine for a light-bodied zesty cup. Light yellow with complex notes of lemongrass, fruit and spice that dance on the palate. A fiery kick of the peppercorn lingers in the soft sweetness of the fruit.
Happy Birthday, Anneke! Have a terrific special day today and it's Saturday too!

And good morning, everyone! Happy Caturday! I presented some issues to a regional lead yesterday morning, and suddenly found myself tasked with marking up all of the issues in all of our presentation templates. π€£ Hours later, I submitted them all to her and she was very happy. Now she is going to send them off to the legal team and marketing, etc. So that hopefully our stuff can be fixed later this year. She was very happy with my attention to detail and the fact that I brought up these issues and was so willing to help out. π Yay!

Adagios milk oolong is amazing and I got emotional trying it ( Irishman's stash) because for years I tried to find a milk oolong all over the top tea web-sites (no luck) with out the putrid, rancid milk taste and adagios is the only one that came through, but I embarrassed because adagios Milk Oolong has been around forever.

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Saturday! I hope your day and weekend are off to a great start and that you're staying warm and dry. We've had a bit of snow, with more in the forecast later today, and late tomorrow into Monday. We'll have to see if my husband's work gets called off on Monday. I don't have today's blend, so I'm sticking to my Chocolate Mocha Tea for Ze Little Grey Cells. It's perfect for today. Well, I better get going. We have a New Year's day get together that had to be postponed due to illness in the hostess' family, and there's lots to be done before then. God bless and have a super day! πππ«πΆππ΅...

Good morning everyone. I had a really good day yesterday and am hoping for another one today. I have only the White Ayurvedic Chai, which I will enjoy later in the day. This morning Iβm drinking Darneshaβs Chestnut Chocolate Chai with Chocolate Whipped Honey! Yum.

Happy Hypnotist day! I know we have discussed this before, but there are some new friends around :) Do you think you can be hypnotized or have you been?
08:36 am
I don't know that I can be, but I've watched others get hypnotized. It's entertaining.
09:58 am
As much as I can put myself in varying mental states of awareness and go into a relaxation zone, etc... I cannot be quintessentially hypnotized. ((ie., ....have tried group hypnosis and was dismissed early on. There are some cues they just can tell who isn't going to be hypnotized. I was super open-minded to it, too!))
10:21 am
I believe ANYTHING can happen. I've never been hypnotized but I would worry what I might have to relive... I believe it is possible.
10:25 am
Happy birthday, Sustainable
08:37 am
Good morning
08:44 am
Not sure if it's just me, but I find my tea tends to be weaker if I have to use a tea bag vs my mug with the strainer. Good tea though!
08:48 am
I agree Jessica. It makes sense to me that when the leaves sit freely in the water, without the paper filter compressing them in any way, that more flavor is dispersed throughout. I tend to use paper filters only when Iβm on vacation and without supplies for dealing with all the tea leaves. I probably use a little less water as well, to maximize the flavor. A little extra time might be worth trying as well.
11:58 am

If you like White Chai, try this blend... https://www.adagio.com/220058 Frankly, I'm not keen on the tin cover because I find it a bit spooky especially with my nephews and niece around. I'm not a fan of horror movies/images myself for that matter. The tea has SOOO many ingredients but they all work together and produce a lovely and flavorful white tea.

I wish FedEx would give more accurate delivery dates/times. My tea haul shipped on Thursday, and it arrived in Binghamton last night. According to FedEx, it will arrive today. How? It is over 4 hours away and hasn't even left that facility yet. I'm sure I'm going to get a notification later that the delivery is being rescheduled to tomorrow or Monday.
10:47 am
Yes, totally! FedEx delivering a tea parcel through me to Arizona friends took awhile to get to them with a lot of delivery day updates. The parcel even, "WENT back to the facility for inspection." I was nervous that the Honey that sent my friends broke or something. But apparently there was nothing wrong with the contents..so..π€·ββοΈ
12:30 pm
I know I sent out a tea package about a week ago. I got a notification that it was delivered, but my feed still says in transit. I'm not sure if the mail got ahead of itself, or there's a glitch somewhere. Hmmm...God bless...πππ

Wow. This is good. It took me by surprise. I donβt really choose chai very often. I like them well enough, but it rarely takes the place of first choice. It all began when I simply looked at the tea and saw all the fruit pieces: pineapple, coconut and apple, but what really got me was the scent. The cardamon came through first and strong. For most, cardamon links with Chai and thus India but for me Cardamon takes me back to the backed goods of my youth having grown up in an area rich in Scandinavian heritage. Fortunately for me, I had just been given a wonderful homemade fruitcake filled with bright spots of apricot and the flavors of coconut, orange and cinnamon. These two didnβt only taste well together but looked like a pair as well. While the tea is very much a Chai, and a good one at that, this morning it took me not to India but to the warm, scent-laden kitchens of my youth and for that I am grateful. Thankfully, the leaves were able to stand up to a second round of brewing- and a second slice of cake.
11:34 am
Hi Christina, this is a great review! If you are new to the CommuniTEA, you can make an official review under the "opinions" section and receive loyalty points for each review. Just go to that section and scroll down past other people's reviews to where you canbleave yours. You can give anywhere between 1 and 5 stars. Sounds like a 5 star review to me!
12:06 pm
Oops, time for a teamoji parade!
12:06 pm
Love your posts, Christina! And also get those review points, too..as Angelica shared!
12:27 pm
Christina, I just made Lebkuchen for the holidays and cardamom is one of the spices in the blend. It also reminds me of the German baked goods that I grew up with. I have been listening to a radio broadcast on movie music and the presenter mentioned that for her hearing music from the Wizard of Oz reminds her of her grandmotherβs rice pudding which was served when the family watched the movie on tv. Memories are definitely tied to sound and smell.

Christina, if you enjoy cardamom, you may enjoy my Norwegian Waffles blend! Cardamom also reminds me of my Norwegian heritage and all the cardamom spiced baked goods I grew up with, so this blend is inspired by that and all the tasty cardamom waffles I enjoyed while traveling through Norway: https://www.adagio.com/230930
It's blustery, chilly, yet oddly peaceful outside my windows. As I rock in my chair while sitting fireside sipping Earl Grey Bella Luna, I'm thinking about how I plan to utilize nature and elements to help me to remain positive, to feel healthier, and to bring more happiness into my life and in Momma's. Besides TEA π, what helps you to stay stronger in mind, body, and soul through it all? Hoping your day is peaceful and that you too are keeping warm through winter's kiss. Brrrrr
12:01 pm
Great topic! I try to talk to nature squirrels, birds, trees, the wind, the cold, and spirit. I aim to journal, sketch, dance, read. I try to play music I love and avoid that which doesn't help my mind (i.e., social media, the news). (And I drink tea of course), I focus on gratitude and whatever lesson I mAy be learning, and learn things to help me along the way from podcasts and classes (like the let them theory, setting boundaries, shamanism discussions or any topics of interest)
06:20 pm
Iβve been turning the back lights off and reveling in the night stars. Theyβre awesome this time of year. I was taught a little prayer at my last retreat day by Joyce Rupp. βBy the light of your stars, heal me.β

Happy Saturday, everyone! Surprisingly I donβt have todayβs tea in my stash so I made a up of oneof my favorite teas - Henry Albero! Audrey the blender knows very well how I feel about this delicious blend. Cheers to Audrey! Hope everyone has recovered from the holidays and are looking forward to see what 2025 will bring us all.

The fruit was a interesting choice to add to this blend; never really had pineapple in Chai but it works well!

Hello friends! I am 4 days in to dry January! Who is with me? I am filling my days with fun activities. Todayβs pic was from the Polar bear plunge at Santa Monica beach. Hundreds of us all plunged and/or swam in the ocean this morning and then came to the community pool which was heated to 95 degrees to warm up. Plus hot chocolate! Having a great first weekend of 2025!
03:21 pm
I don't know, Farrah. I seem to have missed something. What is dry January? π God bless...
08:12 pm
Itβs stopping alcohol for the entire month to see if you feel healthier. I somehow doubt that you need it Marlicia, but you do surprise me sometimes.

Good afternoon CommuniTEA π My preference in spices in my tea is usually for strong cinnamon flavor vs traditonal chai spices. This is a nice mild chai option.
03:41 pm
Can't find where I can post my opinion of today's tea-white Chai. I like this more mellow Chai. Added some nondairy creamer and it was perfect.

Woo, just came home from errands to find four deer just outside my kitchen window. So much fun to watch (won't think about the damage to shrubbery right now) !
04:53 pm
The deer will walk on the sidewalks near where I live and come right up to you!
05:17 pm
I love the majestic way they move Tee. Takes my breath away every time I see them. We just think of our front garden as the deerβs vegetable garden in the summer.

Heck of a way to start the new year lost my streak again. Sigh and sip. βοΈ least there is snow fall to watch. βοΈ
05:49 pm
Yeah, I recently lost my streaks, too. I don't remember it either, so it's disappointing.
06:01 pm
Today's tea is OK, but I'm mixed about it. I like chais, but white tea is really too light for my taste. Sweetening it will probably help since that's how I normally drink chais, but I don't think this is my thing. I prefer chais with black tea bases so they're strong.
06:02 pm
So I just got 3x Hojicha cards and they're dancing around... how do I change them into the larger sample again?
06:13 pm
You need a 4th one, then you stack them and say yes to merging! I would send you one if I had one....
