I am not sure why I buy so much tea when I don’t drink as much as I buy. But I am a sucker for interesting tea blends and even more of a sucker for Halloween. Now give me a Halloween tea sampler and I am like “sign me up”. The internet is a dangerous thing, because you google Halloween tea and all of a sudden you are buying tea left and right.

The first to arrive is Adagio tea Halloween sampler. I mean really, they come in cute tins. I could not resist.

If this was not indulgence enough, I also bought the Autumn Sampler. The box cover of golden Autumn trees was enough to get me to purchase the item.

Is there anything better than crisp air, big sweaters, and pumpkin spice everything? For lovers of all things Fall, they’ve put together a collection of teas to capture the essence of the season. This set contains four sample sizes of loose tea. This set includes:

honeybush pumpkin chai – Masala Chai spices in an herbal honeybush pumpkin base. Beautiful clear and bright cup, and crisp, tangy-sweet flavor. [No caffeine]

autumn mist green – Gently smoky gunpowder combined with bright tangy apples and rose hips, bring to mind a misty morning stroll. [Moderate caffeine]

bonfire – An Autumn medley of hazelnut, cocoa and exotic spices, with a soft note of apples and a hint of blazing hearth. [Trace caffeine]

pumpkin spice – Pumpkin Spice goodness with rich, lively spices for a perfect autumn treat. [High caffeine]

From the reviews most people do not prefer Bonfire. But it is worth doing once.

I have never ordered from Adagio before. They were kind enough to send me a great sample box of seven teas.

Each of the tea packs have a date starting October 13th thru the 19th. It is part of their CommuniTea program where you can taste different teas and rate them. How fun is that. I put a reminder on my calendar to start the tea on the 13th and check out their blog. They sell the entire month of teas for $19. I am a bit curious but may try it in December as I am sure they may be a lot of Christmasy flavors.

Their Temperature instructions are pretty clear so I am glad I bought the electric tea kettle tea kettle so I can get the correct degrees of the water. No more microwave tea.

Once the next tea shipment arrives I will do part two.

Thanks for checking out my blog.
