Received a sample from Devon and somehow… I am not a fan (again!). I like EG, I don’t mind rooibos.
It tasted pretty much citrusy, but it was not bergamot. Rather lemon-orange. Rooibos was very, very woody, almost overpowering the citruses. Also some other notes, some say medicinal, decayed wood… and I am not sure. But it was a bit off.
Also, it does not last long as a aftertaste. I know I am somehow biased drinking EG by Birchall (which has got black tea base); but the flavour there lasts much longer. This was like a sip, wait five seconds, and it’s gone.
Very, very forgettable tea.

Is this one a teabag or loose leaf? I’ve never tried Adagio’s teabags.
Loose leaf sample :)
Thanks, Martin!
