Adagio Teas
Remember when your
choice of coffee ranged from Folgers to Sanka? And then Starbucks came along to
show how much better it can be. The same is true of tea. The varieties on offer
in your supermarket are the bottom of the barrel: low-quality bags containing
tea dust - the tiny leaf particles that break off when tea leaves are
processed. They'll add color to your cup, but not much flavor.
Once you try our teas, you will not wish to drink anything sold
in the supermarket either.
