Another early harvest tea. I recently tried the April 2020 harvest of the Adagio Masters Shi Feng Long Jing (Dragonwell). Grown at a lung jing farm in Zhejiang, China, this delicate but tasty green tea is picked when the buds are still tender and only 3cm long then fired twice. Our 2020 Shi Feng Long Jing, […]

Adagio Masters Rohini First Flush Review
The first harvest of the year is always a treat to try so I jumped at the chance to try Adagio Masters Rohini First Flush. This darjeeling black tea promised a lively bite and abundance of fresh flavour – and did not disappoint. This is part of the Masters Collection from Adagio which are single […]
Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin Zhen
It has been a while since I posted but I am back with some new tea posts. Starting with one I am really excited about. I mentioned Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin Zhen when I reviewed Fujian Silver Needle last year. Harvested in April 2020 from the Fuding area of China, Adagio Masters Bai Hao Yin […]
Chocolate Milk For Tea Lattes
Tea lattes don’t just have to be made with milk or a non dairy alternative. With the right tea, chocolate milk makes an amazing tea latte. You do need a tea with a fair amount of flavour. One of my fave teas to use with chocolate milk is sadly discontinued, but DAVIDsTEA Fireside Mocha is […]
Adagio Masters Collection Review
Sometimes, you just want to treat yourself to a cup of something special right? Adagio Masters teas are hand processed limited production batches to bring you the finest and freshest teas that you can get from a fairly large tea company. Can you get finer teas elsewhere, probably but the Adagio Masters are pretty affordable […]

Pure Leaf incorporates long-leaf, single-origin Indonesian gunpowder green tea coupled with real peppermint leaves to deliver a cool blast of refreshment with a lingering cooling effect. Both peppermint and green tea have a […]
The Drip Tea Royal Uva Tea Review
I picked up The Drip Tea Royal UVA tea on special at my local Asian supermarket. They always get me with the teas near the cash registers and trying a drip tea looked interesting. The store sells a milk tea in bottles from the same brand that is pretty tasty so I assumed it would […]
Is So Nice Barista Blend The Best Non Dairy Alternative For Tea Lattes?
I have a whole series of tea latte posts coming. Trying everything from skim to full fat milk and cream but also a crazy number of non-dairy alternatives. The thing with regular milk is that most of them foam ok, you can just use whatever is in the fridge. But non dairy alternatives are another […]
teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) Tea Review
A naturally caffeine free blend of ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel & licorice root, teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) tea can be served hot or iced and is great for a cold or just relaxing with a cuppa. Unlike many ginger and lemon teas, the teapigs blend is fairly mild. Enough of a kick that […]
