My tea of choice has been decaf chai for years. I love it with agave and milk, however the best part is being able to drink it any time of day including nighttime! Delicious spices and real black tea. Yum. (Note: many decaf chai blends are made with ...

What a treat of a tea! Assam-based, notes of cocoa, plus one reviewer suggested fig and tobacco notes as well. Deep, dark, and malty: it's what you love about Assam and then some.
Adagio Black Dragon Pearls Tea

The color! Wow! While I would suggest buying this to people who like to brew their own custom tea blends (imagine this as an iced green tea blend!) where one can mix it with other teas, it's also good on its own. We've been drinking Vahdam teas for y...

Love Earl Grey? If you're into a bit of variety - like London Fog - give this tea a try. The bonus ingredients should give this familiar flavor an upgrade, smoothing it out, especially with a dash of milk or cream.
Adagio Earl Grey Moonlight Tea

If you've ever ordered a London Fog at a Starbucks I bet you perked up when you saw this tea. This version contains black and oolong teas enlivened with the flavors of bergamot, lavender, and vanilla. A lovely gift for anyone who shares your love o...

My bestie swears by this tea and drinks it all the time. (Anyone who buys 50 or 100 sachets of one tea at a time is clearly devoted.) Note that Harney & Sons also has a tea called Hot Cinnamon Sunset. I have no idea what the difference is, I admi...
Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice

Yes! This comes in decaf! Harney & Sons claims Hot Cinnamon Spice as one of their most popular teas worldwide, so it also comes in decaf to suit those of us who love a cup of tea - especially in the evening - but don't want to lose sleep over it....

Hold on, we'll talk about the tea in a second, but will you look at that tin? It's gorgeous. I can't imagine someone not being completely impressed if receiving this as a present. Yes, it just says "Black Tea", but true tea lovers know a good English...

This is the current tea I covet. Sure, green tea is nice, but when I saw this included coconut and lemongrass? I was all in. Coconut sounded great, but if you've had lemongrass - even in a savory dish like soup - you know it's a unique and delicious...
