I love having a good cup of tea throughout the day.

Perhaps it’s being half-British, but it is one of the most comforting parts of my day, whether it’s 8:30 a.m. or 11 p.m.

And now, thanks to Adagio, I am enjoying it even more.

One of the best tea selections and grades that I’ve enjoyed thus far, their gourmet teas cover the globe – chamomile from Egypt, Indian black Assam tea, delicate jasmine pearls (what I like to call ‘little globes of delight!’) from China and genmai cha, a green tea from Japan are just a few of the teas available at Adagio.

And you can be as particular as you want to be here – do you want loose leaf or bags? Herbal or decaf? You can even find fine iced teas!

There is a starter kit and a tea-of-the-month for everyone from the novice to the expert and tea aficionado. Whoever you need to buy for, you’ll find something exciting here at Adagio.

Extraordinary teas like golden needle and pomegranate green offer both refreshment and comfort in every cup.

But perhaps one of the most extraordinary finds here is the ingenuiTEA teapot. At first glance you might think it is just a tea infuser and is nothing more than the little stainless steel ball that you’ve been using since the Seventies.

But you’d be wrong.

The IngenuiTEA allows you to make a 16-oz. cup of loose tea anywhere. You place the tea leaves in the cup and pour in the hot water. You allow it to steep to your desired strength and then sit it on top of your own mug. Somehow, it releases the tea only when you’ve placed it over the mug and it pours the freshly brewed tea into your cup.

Not only is it so much fun to do and watch, but you don’t even need to use a kettle. You can microwave your water directly inside the teapot!! And it works with any cup so take it to work if you like.

And it keeps getting better - it is also dishwasher safe (just toss the leaves first)!!! And there is one for iced teas too.

Why stick with ordinary supermarket teabags when you can easily brew your own fresh cup each time?

I’m going to go and “put on” a cuppa Foxtrot (under “herbal” on the website) right now.

Doesn’t that sound good right about now?

I’m addicted.

But don’t worry. It’s the good kind of addiction.

There’s really nothing better than a good cuppa and it doesn’t get much better than Adagio teas.
