Pu Erh Spice
2.5 / 5
If there is one tea in the Adagio sample that completely hides the off-putting scent of the Pu Erh tea, this is it! It is packed with spices and orange pieces. To be honest, I forgot it was pu erh tea I was supposed to review and drank the first glass. Oops. Having said that, I’m not a huge fan of overly spiced teas, and this is definitely one of the most strongly spiced I have tried. Maybe, if spiced teas are normally your thing you might like this. To me, it just feels a but too much like drinking a cup of potpourri! There is a little bit of a pu erh undertone, but it’s all in the aftertaste. What’s the point in buying an aged tea if it’s hidden so completely?If there is one tea in the Adagio sample that completely hides the off-putting scent of the Pu Erh tea, this is it!
