I tried a small sample tin of a tea from my local tea shop called "Nilgiri (Corsley Estate) TGFOP." I love the tea and I'm interested in purchasing a larger amount of a similar tasting tea from Adagio; my local shop's prices are a little expensive. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi Jess! I've gotten teas from Adagio before, and they do come loose. If you don't have a tea ball or an infuser or anything of the sort, I'd recommend the IngenuiTEA. A little hard to clean out if you don't have a garbage disposal, but it's soooo easy to use! My sister-in-law got me one for ...

... a lower temperature! However, as a legal note, I must insist that this is my personal suggestion, not Adagio's. Adagio specifically cannot recommend this way, because if some dumb guy forgets to compensate for the water he's added to the infuser by taking out water on the top and then burns ...

... with coffee (it usually is a french press, actually): the tea leaves are pushed to the bottom of the pot, separating them from the water. I don't recommend this, as it usually produces bitter tea. Plastic infusers may not be the best -- you have to make sure that it is good quality plastic (like ...

... note. Some of the benefits are lost, yes. If you're looking for a caffeine-free "tea" that is high in health-inducing antioxidants, I'd recommend Rooibos. Studies are showing that there are as many (if not more) antioxidants in Rooibos than in green tea. Here is the link for a great ...

Can anybody recommend a website that has a variety of airtight storage tins that can hold 2-4 oz of tea? My cabinet is becoming cluttered with a collection of various branded tea tins and I'd like to move to something more artisitic.

... in the myth. Here is the link: http://www.adagio.com/black/pu_erh_dante.html The real key is to find the tea that fits your tastes. Doctors recommend 3-4 cups daily to get full benefits. That's a lot of tea, so it should be one that you'll enjoy. This is where Adagio comes in. We sell only ...

... very similar health benefits (even those found in a supermarket). The real key is to find one that fits your individual tastes. Personally, i'd recommend the Dragonwell. For the quality and price, it is one of the best teas we offer. Here is the link: http://www.adagio.com/green/dragonwell.html ...

... directly from Japan. I would suggest http://www.teatoys.com/kmatcha.html or http://www.japanesegreenteaonline.com/. The latter is where I would recommend for those new to matcha, as you can also get a whisk and tea bowl to make and drink your matcha. There are a few places in the United States ...

Can anyone recommend a brand name for osmanthus tea in ethnic grocery stores? I am also interested in other teas available commonly in ethnic markets.

Who else out there enjoys shopping in ethnic markets?

Brandon, The tea you are looking for is not available in US. And it's likely to be too costly to import it from Italy. As a consolation, we would recommend considering making iced tea from Lemon or Peach teas. These are guaranteed to taste at lease as good, are easy to find, and easy to prepare. ...

Thanks for the post.

Please describe the flavor of the tea... we'll gladly recommend something!

Cheers,

Can anyone recommend an Adagio blend comparable to Harrod's Afternoon Blend (Blend #16)?

Thanks!

Writer, editor, irascible curmudgeon Hi Angel- I used to do a lot of work with essential oils and herbs. Based on that experience, I'd recommend that you not try to use the oils. Essential oils are extemely potent. We used to have a problem with them melting the plastic caps on bottles. Unless ...

I'd recommend that people check anything labelled Russian Caravan before purchase. I have found that some of them are blends that include just a small amount of Lapsang Souchong.
