Time for tea with Adagio - Review and Giveaway

I love a cuppa, last thing at night and first thing in the morning you will find me with a cup of tea somewhere close by. Over the years I have tried many different brands and had phases of drinking different types of tea. As part of my own growth in how I enjoy different foods and wine, they too have matured. There’s much more importance to me in how something tastes, what benefits it might have for me and where it has come from. No longer just a drink to have for the sake of it.

Adagio teas have a great take on how to order your tea to be delivered to your home. Their site is divided into sections which help you to make your choice simple. There are sampler packs which you can order that give you a range across the type of tea you wish to try. Loose tea is spooned into the paper filters made of taste-neutral wood and hemp fibres. You make your own little… or big tea bag, how cool is that! I liked this as even though you get the suggested amount to put in you can  adjust to your own taste.

Apparently tea is the most widely consumed drink second only to water. I can’t think of anything that is so versatile and has so many different flavours.

You can learn so much for the website such as how to make the perfect cuppa! That’s got to be high on my list of things to do. Like most things having a really good idea of how where why and how makes us all that little bit wiser.

Tea processing is five basic steps; some teas don’t utilize all of these steps, while other teas repeat them several times. Basic processing is Plucking, Withering (allowing the leaves to wilt and soften), Rolling (to shape the leaves and wring out the juices), Oxidising and Firing (ie: Drying).

I have been looking for warm drinks which my eldest son can have which don’t contain caffeine. There is lots of information on their blog which looks and explains caffeine in tea. My eldests health condition means that he has to have a chocolate, caffeine and yoghurt free diet as much as possible. A tough thing for someone reaching their teenage years. He wants to try so many new things and having a healthy warm drink after sports or a long walk are something he enjoys.

All real tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, which contains caffeine. Herbal infusions, such as Chamomile, Rooibos and Peppermint, are made from botanicals not related to Camellia sinensis, and they are naturally caffeine free. Adagio has a decaf range and a herbal range so there is a massive choice for us as a family and I can have one place to order from which is a plus point for me.

In addition to the teas you can also buy accessories such as cups, teapots, storage tins and filters.

  1. I mostly drink fruit “teas” such as rosehip, my favourite is hibiscus which is a bit hard to find in the UK.

  2. I like lot’s of flavored teas, but I’m really into lemon and ginger at the moment.

  3. Green tea with lemon is my current favourite but I do like a variety.

  4. I love camomile tea and find it helps me get a good night’s sleep.

  5. My favourite is English Breakfast tea first thing in the morning, but love lemon and ginger or jasmine after lunch or in the evening

  6. I don’t like tea, except for rosehip and hibiscus herbal infusion. My partner loves Yorkshire tea, but my daughter loves all sorts of types and flavours. Green tea, fruit flavoured teas, she loves them all. So have a guess where this would be going if I was to win?

  7. I love a camomile tea to help me to relax and get a good night’s sleep.

  8. My favourite tea has to be Rooibos Earl Grey, so aromatic! And no caffeine 😉
