“ The Aquarius tea blend from Adagio's Zodiac series receives a mix of applause and critique, primarily for its bold hazelnut flavor. Compliments highlight the rich, smooth base of black and oolong teas accentuated with chocolate, vanilla, and vibrant blue cornflowers, aligning with the Aquarius water-bearer symbol. The presence of cocoa nibs adds depth, with some finding it perfectly balanced, while others note a potential for bitterness. Lovers of flavored teas appreciate the strong hazelnut and vanilla notes, suggesting sweetness enhances the flavors. Though not universally adored, especially by those less enthusiastic about hazelnut, many celebrate it as a delightful birthday treat or a robust daily alternative to coffee. Critics suggest moderation in brewing temperature and time to mitigate bitterness. Overall, it's a hit for its thematic charm and complex flavor profile. ”

“ This year's communiTEA sample was fantastic. A really rich, smooth base tea with no bitterness. The chocolate and hazelnut were added at just the right level for a fantastic cup.

1.20.22 Rich, strong tea. Very nice hazelnut flavor with the soothing addition of vanilla and a little chocolate. It's a little too astringent for me and is slightly bitter too. ”

“ Lucky Aquarius! You have such a tasty tea to help celebrate your birthday! A blend with a nice hazelnut flavor boosted by cocoa nibs and smoothed by vanilla. The mixed tea base of black and oolong teas pair well with this much beloved nutty flavor. The little blue cornflowers are a colorful reminder of Aqarius’ symbol, the water-bearer, with blue wavy lines.

My Ct packet had a generous 5 g/ 3 tsp of mixed black tea, oolong, flavorings, cocoa nibs and a scattering of cornflowers. I brewed 18 oz. at 205*F for 3 min. The medium brown liquor had a pleasant nutty scent and the first hot sip was hazelnut forward. A sweetner add elevated all flavors and made the tea very delicious! As the tea cooled, a warm vanilla taste blossomed more and joined the hazelnut one to finish the sip. A resteep of 8 oz.tasted milder but was enjoyable too. Chilled, the tea had a nice blended hazelnut/vanilla flavor and made a wonderful iced tea. So glad to celebrate with you my Aquarian tea friends! Happy Birthday! ”

“ Steeped at a lower temperature after reading reviews about bitterness. 3 mins@180°. The ceylon sonata,, assam melody, black tea, and oolong came together well to make a bold cup of tea. The hazelnut flavor came to the front and was delicious. Vanilla smoothed out the blend. The cocoa nibs added a bit of savory flavor and the blue cornflower gave it a peppery finish. I love the beautiful artwork on the tin too. Yummy blend! ”

“ How exciting to see Adagio's Zodiac teas in communiTEA! I am looking forward to trying more! I steeped at a lower temp...about 195º. Aquarius is a wonderfully smooth hazelnut blend. This could totally replace my daily cup of...dare I say...coffee! ”
