Discovering Adagio loose leaf teas

Adagio loose leaf teas and a ruby red teapot

Most of you will know by now that I love tea. All of it. builders tea, green tea, matcha tea. I drink it all and I love it. That said, since we’ve been house sitting, and all of our things in storage, I’ve not had a way to drink loose tea. So, I was pretty pleased when Adagio Teas got in touch about sampling some of their teas. In fact, I have some goodies to give away to one lucky reader too!

Adagio Teas originate from the US but are now available here in the UK too.  They sell their loose leaf teas online with free delivery on all orders over £30. What sets them apart from many other loose leaf tea brands is that their hand-picked teas are sourced directly from origin. I was really impressed by the range of blends available, from the delicious raspberry matcha to the zesty apricot green tea and floral hibiscus Ceylon. Adagio Teas also sell decaf and the more usual tea varieties too, including some really wonderful Earl Grey flavours which are available in a sample pack too.


Personally, I love green tea so I was excited to try the Adagio range which is bought directly from farmers in China and Japan. My favourite has to be the hand rolled jasmine phoenix pearls from Fuding, in Fujian province, China.  The perfumed scent is delicate and flowery. A very calming and tasty cup!

For an autumnal flavour, the blood orange tea was another of my favourites. Firstly, it’s just so pretty (the blend is made up of blood orange peel, hibiscus flowers and rose hips) and secondly because it’s not too overpowering. The coconut and mango tropical blends are equally delicious too.

If you’re not used to drinking loose leaf tea, do not panic. Each package has instructions  – how much tea, water temperature and how long to brew for. These do vary by tea types, something I did not know! There is also loads of information on the website about where the tea comes from and the blends available. Reading about the teas has been as enjoyable as drinking them!

*I was sent a selection of Adagio loose leaf tea to try. I was not expected to write a review and my opinions are my own. I also ran a giveaway which has now passed.*
