Review: Web Store: Adagio Tea

While I have long enjoyed Teavanna teas, there is another tea company slowly stealing my affections. That would be Adagio teas.

Two big differences are Teavanna sells there tea starting at 2 ounces and the prices range from under $5 to over $20. Adagio teas sells their blended tea in 3 ounce bags and the prices are either $9 or $10.

Now if you prefer to buy tea that isn't blended there are many more options. This type of pricing actually keeps them pretty competitive. Not to mention all of the choices.

My package arrived on a Friday so they wished me a good weekend! Aw! While personal notes aren't always included little things like this can really set a company apart. 

Why has Adagio Teas suddenly drawn my attention? I'm a nerd! While they offer a massive variety of tea they also let you blend your own teas (choosing up to three types of tea to blend together.) Then you can save your tea and also add an image. 

Fans from shows, movies, comics .... what ever you can think of, make tea blends to match up with characters or themes in the show. 

These three teas are TARDIS, Harry Potter, and Dodge.  

(I had to make this image larger just to show it off.) The website does an amazing job of letting you know what you are getting. This is an example for the TARDIS blend. They display the three teas. You may have noticed that each pouch has it's own image.

They even joke that the pouch for the Tardis is bigger on the inside so you get 4oz for just $9. (The tardis is a spaceship that is much bigger on the inside for those of you who don't watch Dr. Who)

This is another part of Adagio that I love. There is what I'm nerding out about right on the label!

That is included a little further down the page. There are reviews on the left, information and video reviews in the center.

I also appreciate how much social networking is involved.

When you decided to brew some tasty nerd tea (or what ever it is you may have found) you can get "Frequent Cup" points if you tweet or share it on facebook. You can also link your facebook to Adagio and other facebook friends can see what tea you are into and read your reviews.
