Adagio Teas – Artisan Comfort
Adagio Tea's Artisan Comfort Set
Adagio Tea’s Artisan Comfort set contains six teas. Each tea has five pyramid sachets included.
Each of these teas is considered ‘pure’ meaning it isn’t scented or blended with flavors, fruits or herbs. Though the Jasmine Pearls is produced with Jasmine petals, so there’s some argument there. This set is well matched and there’s nothing which is particularly out of place.
I found it a bit odd the sachets were tucked so nicely in envelopes but had no string or tag attached for easy removal from your cup after brewing the teas at their recommended settings. If this was not purposeful it’s merely an unfortunate oversight. If it was purposeful I’m not sure what they were thinking.
Regardless, the flavor and aroma profiles from all the included teas are as expected and should provide 30 delicious cups of tea.
Audience: This Artisan Comfort set is likely to be more popular with purists and enthusiasts than with casual tea drinkers. Mostly because I’ve found casual drinkers to prefer fruity, floral or flavored teas.
Value: This set costs $24 USD. Though the included teas are pure I felt the set was off a bit partially due to what I hope were oversights in the packaging process. In any case, I found this Artisan Comfort set from Adagio to be a good value.

Really great idea, Chris. It’s of limited value to me because I don;t live in America, but I applaud your efforts.
Thanks for the feedback. The set from Taylors of Harrogate was from the UK, but perhaps next year I could get some nice sets from all over the world!
Whoa this is pretty in depth. I’ve been buying a lot of tea gift sets to give to people for Christmas this year, and there are a few really good suggestions on this list.
Here’s a list of one’s that I’ve been buying and had good results with…but I may have to take some of your suggestions.
