pu-erh coffee

“ Pu'erh teas are some of my favorite teas. I love the earthy flavor! The taste and feel is always so smooth. I also enjoy coffee, but over the past couple of years I have found myself reaching for tea much more often than coffee. I never thought that would happen, but I find the acidity of coffee is starting to bother my stomach. This tea is lovely and doesn't upset my stomach. The earthiness of pu'erh mixed with just a touch of coffee is wonderful....and the notes of vanilla are there in the background! I sweetened with just a bit of pure stevia. Many, Many pu'erh coffee lattes are in my future! Update: This tea/coffee blend mixes so well with other teas to add additional flavors. So far, adding in a bit of hazelnut black tea is my fav! And, this makes a rich lovely latte as well. Almond or coconut creamers mix in very well. I'm finding this a nice alternative to regular coffee. ”

“ Pleasant pu’erh and relaxing coffee aromas were noted in my pouch of Adagio’s new Pu’erh Coffee blend. There appeared to be an appropriate amount of whole coffee beans in this mysterious blend.

I used three grams of ingredients (included two coffee beans,) enough for a 12 ounce medium strength steep. I steeped at 185°F for five minutes.

When hot, pu’erh and coffee flavors were mild. No vanilla flavors were noted. No sugar was added, as the blend was tasty enough and didn’t need any further assistance.

When warm, both pu’erh and coffee flavors were moderate and extremely tasty. A very smooth mouthfeel was noted. No vanilla flavors were noted, but I do think it added to the overall smoothness of the blend. No bitterness was noted from either the tea or coffee.

This outstanding blend was a nice and relaxing morning pick-me-up sip! It was good to the last drop. A second steep was just as tasty as this first! Being a espresso drinker, I really appreciated the chance to partake in a blend of my two favorite caffeinated beverages.

“ I must admit I was not expecting to like this, but I do. My hubby loves it. It has the smoothness of Pu-Erh tea and the taste of chocolate and coffee. This is an interesting and successful combination. ”

“ It's good, but I was expecting a bit more coffee and vanilla. Both flavors are very light, even with the smattering of coffee beans in the dry mix. If you mix it with the Cream (or Decaf Cream) Ceylon though, it really tastes quite nice. Probably be good with actual whipped cream too.

I'm not fond of the smell, but pu erh is pu erh. I knew what I was getting into.

EDIT: I still wanted more coffee flavor, so I added some of the instant coffee powder I normally use for baking to the dry leaf, and it did the trick! ”

“ A great tasting tea! The pu-erh tea is dominant with an addition of coffee flavor. It's smooth, a bit malty, and zero bitterness. It's good plain or a splash of cream. ”

“ I'm not sure what makes this one so magical, but it just is. I can drink this all day, every day. I used to drink coffee, long ago, but had to quit due to the acid bothering my stomach. It's nice to have that hint of coffee, without the side effects. It takes the richness of the pu-erh, and kicks it up a notch. It has quickly become a favorite for me. ”
