Adagio Guanabana
Name: Guanabana
Company: Adagio Tea
Type: Flavored Black, loose leaf
Cost: $6 for 4oz tin
I started off this morning running around frantically (as always) because I had to be at work earlier than normal to prepare for a big breakfast. I was in charge of muffins and no, I did not make them myself.
Picking out a tea this morning led me Guanabana from Adagio Teas. I have a ton of sample tins I’m trying to work through so I can order more and continue to have no cabinet space. This particular sample tin is at least half way gone and I hadn’t made it in a while. I remember really liking it when I first tried it out so I thought it would be a good choice for my morning travel thermos.
It has a really curious smell in that it isn’t a straight fruit smell. A lot of the flavored teas have obvious fragrance to them that you can immediately pick out. However, Guanabana is a mix of different fruity/citrusy fragrance. Adagio describes it as “exotic” and I couldn’t agree more.
The taste is also exotic and some days I like it a lot and other days I could do without it. I suppose today fell in the later catergory because I wished I had made another tea. Or perhaps I wish I had a tea that went better with breakfast since I actually had a large breakfast today which is very rare for me.
This is not a bad tea at all. I just don’t think it pairs well with other flavors. A great tea to enjoy all alone in order to experience the exotic flavors and fragrance. It is on my ‘maybe’ list of teas to purchase in a larger quantity.
