Opinion: I tried the Adagio first, it had a strong peach fruity flavor. Not cloyingly sweet. Just a tap of Stevia brought it out nicely. I then added a little bit of vanilla almond milk, which played well. Though I think this can drink alone. The SerendipiTea was spicy, I almost thought it had cloves before looking at the list of ingredients. The cardamon and cinnamon are very prominent in both scent and flavor, with a kick of ginger. The peach is there, but almost as an afterthought. Think of it as a spice peached tea. I didn't even need to add any sweetener. Bonus! And both tasted great iced.
Rating: Adagio - 4, especially with the coupon attached. Not a bad deal!
SerendipiTea - 4, worth seeking out. Especially since online would probably be a better deal. However, if you are in Austin, you can't go wrong with a scoopful to try. I will easily be drinking this well into the Fall. The peach is a nice surprise. And I like the play on one of my favorite words, serendipity.
