Well I have liked tea for a really long time but never really “got into” mainstream gourmet tea. I came across the site Adagio Teas, and let me tell you it is probably one of the coolest stores online! To get started I ordered the Ingenious Tea Pot gift set, which included the IngenuiTEA, a book about tea, and 4 sample loose leaf teas all for $19!

I couldn’t wait to try the IngenuiTEA when opened my package from UPS today. Its a great device. First you heat up some boiling water, then you put the boiling water into the IngenuiTEA and place the 1 teaspoon of the loose leaf tea right on top. After closing the lid and letting it steep for the recommended time (5 minutes for most black teas, 7 minutes for dark oolong and white, only 3 minutes for white and green teas) you just place the IngenuiTEA on top of your cup and it’ll strain right into it, leaving you with perfect tea and leaving the leafs behind!

Here is a few photos of my experience today, and let me know what you think of Adagio Teas!
