Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I normally enjoy lighter teas \u2013 green being my favorite, I decided to try some black teas this month and my first pick was adagio\u2019s \u201cEnglish Breakfast.\u201d\u00a0 From first brew you can tell it is a strong black tea.\u00a0 It had a very strong aroma \u2013 not sweet at all, but still pleasant.\u00a0 It tasted a lot like what you would expect.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t sweet like the green teas I have tried, but it also didn\u2019t have quite as much \u201cbite\u201d as some other black teas.\u00a0 I found that I enjoyed it best as a pick me up in the morning.\u00a0 I also really enjoyed it in the afternoon with just a little bit of milk and sugar.\u00a0 The milk and sugar really ease out the last hint of bitterness and make for a really smooth cup.\u00a0 It actually reminded me quite a bit of coffee, and might make for a good \u201ctransition tea\u201d for anybody trying to switch.\u00a0 One note: be careful when you brew it, even a little extra time can make it very bitter very fast.<\/p>\n
