My Honest Adagio Tea Review
I hadn't bought tea from Adagio in a while, but their card program struck me as the perfect opportunity to try new blends. I waited until I'd accumulated several cards, then added a few samples to my cart--including Thai Tea and Mocha Nut Mate--and placed my order. When the pouches of loose-leaf tea arrived, I thought I'd write a review to help you find the perfect blends for your cabinet.

Famous City for Chinese Cuisine – Nanjing, Jiangsu
Nanjing, once known as Jinling in ancient China, is the birthplace of one of China’s top four famous snacks, Jinling Snacks. Nanjing cuisine has a unique profile, characterized by a balance of sweet and salty flavors, a soft and glutinous texture, and a strong emphasis on duck dishes. In fact, the people of Nanjing have an undeniable love for duck, to the extent that it is said “a meal is incomplete without duck,” and duck cooking techniques are even listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. The three representative duck dishes in Nanjing are Salted Duck, Jinling Roast Duck, and Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup. While you may not be familiar with or willing to try Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup, I highly recommend you try Salted Duck and Jinling Roast Duck.
