"This sampler of black teas is great. I have already tried the Keemun Encore and it rich dark smokey flavor is awesome."

"My first Adagio order has (re-)introduced me to the joys of loose tea, and the range of flavors in this sampler has ensured that I will order again in the future. I particularly enjoyed the Keemun Concerto for its light smokiness."

"Nice variety, pleasant tea, a good way to get introduced to new teas. Small tins that the teas come in are very useful"

"I have really been enjoying this sampler. The Golden Monkey just blew me away. My favorite tea of all time, closely followed by Assam Melody. I also like Yunnan Jig, Ceylon Sonata and Keemun Concerto, in that order. Darjeeling 22 was my least favorite but not totally bad either. This is a great sampler for a person wanting to try different black teas or to give someone as gift. "
