Looking for a gift for the tea-lover in you life? I recommend a package from Adagio Teas. A few months ago the kind folks from Adagio sent out tea samples to many food bloggers to review.

The kukicha tea was delicate, full leaf, just as I remember the highest quality teas from my time living in Japan. The rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss) tea is a red tea made from a South African shrub, has no caffeine, is low in tannins, and has lots of natural antioxidants. It has a mild spicy flavor and is a little sweet. It gets its red color from the fermentation process that the plant goes through to become tea.
