Many Adagio teas have way too much cinnamon, but this one isn’t too bad. It isn’t a terrible novelty tea, but the Chocolate Latte alone is better. This first cup must not have any ginger, because I do not taste it at all.

Latte Sipdown (345)

Thank you Cameron B for sharing this tea. I am loving all the fun additions this wicked collection has. The confetti sprinkles are delightful but that’s about all this tea has going for it.

When I saw Chocolate Chai, I immediately thought latte. When this tea was steeping, I immediately thought dirt…because that is sort of what this smelled like.

As a latte, it is not horrendous and dirt-like as I thought but it is certainly weird. Similar to Cameron B, I am getting a lot of ginger but not in a good way. I like the flavor of crystalized ginger or that ginger burn but this is earthy ginger and it is almost like someone used ginger root but forgot to peel it and there was still dirt on the peel. So, I guess it is earthy and gingery and it is wasn’t a latte, I think I may not have been able to get through the mug. I think the milk tones everything down a bit.

It was definitely fun to try though so thanks again, Cameron B!

The last of my Halloween teas from the Wicked Teas sampler!

Uh oh, I see a lot of ginger. There are also a few cute brightly-colored confetti sprinkles and some mini chocolate chips.

Hm, definitely too much ginger for me. I can taste a little bit of cinnamon, but I think it’s mostly being hidden by the ginger. There’s a fair bit of cocoa here, but it’s stronger in the aroma than the taste. Overall, the tea is quite weak aside from the ginger.

Welp, this wasn’t really a good one to end on. It’s definitely one of the weaker teas from the sampler.
