Description

Combining savory almond flavor with the bright, fruity taste of Formosa oolong tea, our Almond tea is a great stand-alone drink as well as the perfect dessert complement. In fact, it is so versatile that, if you don't like our Almond tea, you're probably the one that's nuts.

Story

Almonds are mentioned as far back in history as the Bible. They were a prized ingredient in breads served to Egypt's pharaohs. Their exact ancestry is unknown, but almonds are thought to have originated in China and Central Asia. Explorers ate almonds while traveling the Silk Road between Asia and the Mediterranean. In the 18th Century, aided by the Franciscan monks, the almond tree made a leap to California, where it found a hospitable home. A large almond industry is now based in the Sacramento area.

"Tastes a lot like Adagio's other almond-flavored teas; I'd have a hard time distinguishing between this and the almond black. A bit too strong and sweet for me."

"This tea tastes very oolongy -- that almost green bean sort of flavor that oolongs seem to have? It's ther. But so are almonds, and while I'm not sure I'd call ti a dessert tea, it's good, and when I'm out I'll order it again. It may take a while to run out, though. "

"I liked the flavor of almond with the lightness of the oolong. I let it steep a little longer to get the color and flavor I enjoy but I liked the combination. The almond isn't overpowering."
