adagio fujian red

[joelbct]

so i will admit i have my 2 or 3 regular vendors for black tea, and i've grown spoiled and finnicky in this area, but i see adagio has a couple new fujian blacks, they look decent. anyone try these?

The golden spring looks a tad like specialteas' mouth-watering golden buddha, which is awesome and of which ST is sold out... wonder how it compares, might have to place an adagio order finally...

Also, placed a black tea order from www.theteastop.com recently, including my staples- meleng assam, vithanakande ceylon, yunnan gold. slightly limited selection, but top notch stuff. Gets a thumbs up from me.

I've always been down with some Adagio blacks, I think the new ones are all pretty good.

I as well like adagio blacks.. My day starts out with Fujian black

I've had the fujian baroque and like it enough that I'm thinking of buying a bag.

Yep, that is exactly what I have.. Love the coffee and peppery notes in it.

+1 on the Fujian Baroque. The new blacks are all pretty good.

Still, the White Symphony is the best of the new lot IMHO.

I got some golden spring as a freebie from adagio (points). Not bad. Tastes like a milder yunnan gold type of thing
