Orange

Whee! So many little slides and settings! So fun! Yay upgrades!

Ahem, anyway. This tea just didn’t do it for me today. It wasn’t bad. It was just… there. Maybe a little burnt tasting towards the end? Mostly, I’m just sad that this doesn’t taste orange to me. It’s boring and plain. I want oranges, dangit!!! The most I get out if it, if I try really hard and squint my eyes and turn my head juuuuuust right, I can kind of taste something similar to licking the outside of an orange.

Yeah, that’s not enough orange. The last bit of this tea will be blended into something. It’s too meh on its own for me.

Another “okay” orange tea from Adagio. Again not a huge burst of that orange citrus taste I’m looking for. Not bad at all, just okay. Bought this for a blend anyways and it works a lot better there.

Tea: 2 tsp
Water: 16 oz, filtered
Additives: None
Brewing method: Ingenuitea

Mild black with none of the orange aroma carrying over into the taste. Maybe if there had been more than two orange pieces in the entire sample…

The tea smells like an orange creamsicle from the tin. Much like the other flavored black teas it has just the right amount of fruit flavor. Love it.

Adagio CommuniTEA – April 13th, 2023

I do like the orange flavor here, it reminds me of those orange slice gummy candies that are coated in sugar. Definitely not a natural orange, but sweet and candylike.

Not a fan of the base tea though, which I think is generally the case with me and Adagio’s flavored black teas. I feel like it has all the negative attributes of a strong, brisk black tea, without having a lot of the flavor. Maybe it would be nicer with some creamer…

Not what I was hoping for. There’s some orange here, but there is also an odd aftertaste that I can’t describe and can’t figure out what’s causing it. As the tea cools, the aftertaste is more and more unpleasant.

I’ve been wanting to try out a handful of teas from Adagio in the hopes of coming up with my own custom blend (an orange spice that doesn’t contain clove) but I don’t think this is going to be a workable base for my idea.

meh its not bad at all but also not very orangey either
there is much better orange teas out there at the super market even
it is pretty bold with a hint of citrus but just tastes so much plain I’d rather drink a cheap english breakfast tea instead of this

I’m back.
I’ve been suffering from crippling depression lately, so much so that I went almost a week and only had one cup of tea. Well, a change of scenery (I’m at the parents house again) and I seem to be doing better. So I decided to try something new this morning.
Adagio Orange is another one of it’s black tea fruit blends. The smell in the bag is SUUUPER orange. I know it won’t translate over into taste though, it never does with these.
Brewed western style, boiling water, 3:30 Minutes.
Taste is… well it’s better than I was expecting. I can taste orange in the sip, but it is unfortunately a background note. I really wish it was more prominent, as what I do taste of the orange is sweet, not tart. But mostly it’s just an ok black tea with a hint of orange. It’s sad, the smell in the bag is always so promising with these. Heck, even the brewed cup smells more of orange than it actually tastes. That’s not to say it’s bad. I don’t know if it is because I haven’t really had tea in a week, but I am enjoying it. It’s decent. I probably wouldn’t reorder it though. I’m sure there are better orange blends out there that I just haven’t found yet.

I really enjoyed this – I cold steeped it, which allowed the orange to shine and it was so refreshing. I will absolutely be repurchasing.

New to the party for flavored black teas. It’s orangey, but more like supermarket orange juice, than bright citrus peel I would have expected. Not even mellow sweet like california oranges.
