Adagio Teas has improved the bottled-tea field with Anteadote, a line of
four unsweetened flavors with no preservatives: White Pai Mu Tan, Black
Yunnan and Chun Hao grade Jasmine are new; Green Dragonwell has been an
award-winning flavor for Adagio since it was introduced two years ago.

Experience a cup of tea like never before. Drop a Tea Blossom, by Adagio
Teas, in hot water and the hand-woven cluster slowly unfurls, exposing a
delicate flower sitting at the bottom of your mug. Watching the petals open
as you sip adds a soothing aesthetic to tea time.

The stainless utiliTEA Variable Temperature Kettle doesn't just boil water,
it has specific settings that will bring it to either 180 degrees (in 2 1/2
minutes) for green tea or 212 degrees (in 4 minutes, 23 seconds) for black
tea. An excellent kettle for the price, compact and pours well. It lacks
some of the bells and whistles of the more expensive models but is
functional and kind of cute.

Loose tea can be, well, cumbersome -- all that fussing with steeping and
disposing of the leaves. Tea bags, an American invention of the early part
of the last century, are much easier. Lucky for us, Adagio Teas is putting
out varieties such as Dragonwell green tea, Ti Kuan Yin and Jasmine Pearls
oolong teas, and Silver Needle white tea, along with Golden Yunan and
English breakfast black teas. The tea comes in mesh pouches of loose leaves,
enclosed in sealed foil packets. The mesh is triangular-shaped, making it
easy to pull out of the cup without an unattractive paper tab.

These are certainly nice enough to give as gifts, but we say treat yourself
-- you're worth it. Accessible single servings are the angle to these
specialty teas from Adagio; 15 foil-wrapped mesh bags per box, $10.

We held a blind tasting, pitting one of Adagio's bagged black teas, the
Golden Yunnan, against bagged tea from two other commercial blends, one
British and one Irish. The Adagio tea... came out on top. The majority of
the tasters liked its pronounced, complex flavor and roundness.

High-end tea is in a category of its own, said Michael Cramer, a former
investment banker who founded Adagio, based in Clifton, N.J. "It's more like the
new wine because of the new varietals," he said, adding that even though teas
(other than herbal teas) are all from the same plant, "it differs in how it is
grown and processed in the hands of an artisan, and that's how it becomes
interesting."

Coffeemakers have become more elaborate and now tea-brewing gizmos are
following suit. Adagio Teas, for instance, recently introduced ingenuiTEA, a
self-filtering transparent pot. After steeping loose leaves in boiled water,
you place the pot on a mug, and the filtering system drains brewed tea into
the cup.

That's one of the secrets behind Anteadote, a new bottled tea from Adagio that
uses Japanese technology to extract the oxygen from each bottle. "By taking the
air out, the tea can't oxidize, and without oxidation it can't spoil, so there's
no need to add any chemicals or preservatives."

I always liked the idea of brewing a pot of loose tea at the office, especially
in the afternoon after a day of hard coffee drinking. But the inconvenience has
always been a deterrent.

When Michael Cramer co-founded Adagio Teas back in 1999 together with his
mother and brother, they didn't expect to become Internet zillionaires.
They just wanted to expand the gourmet tea market to what was then an
uncaring world.

Our display teas appeal to the eye as much as the palate. Each serving is a
cluster of leaves that unfold in water, revealing a delicate flower hidden
within. The splendor of the flower "blooming" in the cup enhances the
wondrous taste of tea leaves gathered at the peak of freshness.

Our teabags join a crowded field of products all claiming to be "gourmet."
However they are one of the few products on the market containing full-leaf tea.
In fact, these are the same grades of tea we offer loose. The only
