Adagio Teas

Really polite service and good tea. My friend enjoyed her wild strawberry but my hazelnut was a bit too stringent. I got a really good deal on them, thanks to the Unilocal check-​in and levelup.
Cons: Not sure why majority of tea shops lack seating these days — to me tea should never be enjoyed on the go. After my visit I also got pretty heavily spammed (9 duplicate emails) by them about the point reward system.

I was walking to work when I spotted Adiago teas. The matcha green tea in the window caught my attention. I was interested in trying it (had it in a smoothie a few weeks ago). Leo helped me and offered to brew me a cup of matcha. He explained where it was from, the ceremony that traditionally goes with brewing the cup in Japan. Explained the tools used to whisk the tea into froth. He was very helpful, polite, and explained everything well. We sipped the tea and he answered my questions. I got the matcha I came in for, and the little whisk to froth up the tea at home when I make it. It was my first time in Adiago teas but it wont be my last visit. I’m a new fan.

I got a Groupon for Tea Tasting here and it was awesome!
Mike was super friendly and explained the different teas that we chose. He didn’t have the know it all nor a bland personality. He was perfect.
The teas at Adagio are not expensive at all. Anywhere else (Teavana), you’ll be paying an arm and a leg. You get high quality tea without paying an outrageous price.

This place is wonderful… just like the big tea places but half the price! The teas are delicious and they will make any of the flavors they sell for you to try before purchasing! And the service is outstanding! Definitely will continue to go back and enjoy both the high quality tea and the high quality service! A definite cut above the rest!

Iced Matcha Green Tea. Excellent. And great customer service.

Sarah provided a wonderful and informational tea tasting. We didn’t want to leave! She is studying to be a tea sommelier and it certainly shows. Stop in for a great way to pick up some delicious tea and learn about something fun!

Very friendly staff helped a non tea guy to get some great picks that my girlfriend really enjoys. Would recommend to other novices looking for guidance on great tea

While trying to make the transition from coffee to tea, I came across a Group On for a tea tasting at Adagio. Bought it, scheduled it, tasted it, and I’m so much more knowledgeable about tea. Thanks to Jessie (who was fun, enthusiastic, and so excited to share her passion of tea) I was able to experience different types of tea and narrow my taste down to two types in particular.
There was a large variety to choose from and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of tea. Take advantage of the buy 4 get 1 free! Worth the trip downtown.

Adagio tea is super special. I’m always on the hunt for a good matcha tea. The manager/​owner (not sure) was amazing explaining to us the tea selections available in the store. Each flavor had its own jar for a smell test! We even got to try the current staff blends. Apparently they blend their own special teas and whichever gets voted as the staff favorite is put on display and can be bought. Okay back to my matcha-​this was literally one of the best matcha lattes I’ve ever had thanks to his skillfulness in proportioning out the matcha to almond milk ratio. I was SO happy leaving the store. Highly recommend!

Tea tasting was such an awesome experience! What made our experience even better was our tea expert/​instructor Leo! Leo taught us so much about where the teas come from and he helped us to explore the color wheel of aromas that the teas gave off. I’d totally recommend him if you go there! You will not only feel relaxed but you will leave with a better understanding of tea culture… and a variety of samples! :) Thumbs up for adagio teas!

I tried to make this 4.5÷5, but I couldn’t, so I rounded up. :) If you’re looking for quality, flavorful tea and okay paying a little extra, Adagio’s great, but their staff is FANTASTIC.
My fiancé is an avid tea lover and wanted to go to Adagio on Saturday for their anniversary sale. I arrived earlier than him and quickly bonded with the staff. I tried the various pre-​brewed tea samples as well as the tea cookies (yum). The staff was funny and knowledgeable, so I was already having a great time. Once my fiancé got there, he wanted to try several different teas, and Jessie especially was great. She made us cup after cup of tea and chatted with us about the flavors and her favorites. We experimented with brewing and smelled (almost) all the tea it seems.
I ended up finding a couple Christmas presents, and my fiancé found a basket full of flavorful new teas and blends. Plus when we checked out, Jessie and another staff member gave us some interesting samples to try! I know that’s normal, but they let us choose and were delightful people in general. It was our 2^nd time at Adagio, and we’ll be back.

Adagio, come to Tulsa. I will give you all the business you want.
I loved this place! The selection of tea to choose from is vast, meaning I spent a solid ten minutes standing there staring at the menu and debating. In the end, I went with a sangria concoction that was so refreshing that I wished I had ordered a larger size.
Service was so, so great! The girls working were so helpful! And there were three samples available to try, which helped immensely when making a drink selection.
Seriously fantastic tea shop!

This store had a vast selection of teas and tea products. Each of the varieties of tea were available in bags or loose leaf.
Service was top-​notch! They were eager to help and offered to make me samples of any of the teas in the store!
There was a buy 4, get 1 free deal that we were able to take advantage of.
Great products and amazing service. This will definitely be my go-​to tea shop from now on!

I’ve loved Adagio Teas for nearly a decade, but always mail order. I stumbled upon this store in Chicago and was delighted to sniff everything in person! ;) The manager was kind enough to make me a sample cup of one of the teas since I’m allergic to one of the ingredients in the tea they were sampling. Prices are a little high, but on par for this quality of tea. Noticed a tea class going on while I was there, too.

Straight from the source! This tea store blows Teavana out of the water. I came across Adagio Teas as I was walking down State Street on my last visit to Chicago.
The first thing I noticed when we walked in were all the boxed tea sets (I was later told that customers can customize them online, and then they sell the buyer’s favorites). There were a ton of cute and colorful teapots, cups, and other boxed gift sets along the wall.
Before we began exploring all the different teas, the very friendly employees helped answer a few of our questions. Janelle (I believe that was her name) was very kind to serve us some free samples to try while we walked around. She helped us narrow down our choices, and before I had to fully commit to one, she offered to brew a cup of any of the teas I wanted to try. I pretty much already had my mind set on the Rooibos so that’s what I went for.
Of course, I had to come back a second time before leaving Chicago. On my second visit, I took advantage of their buy 4 get 1 free (any combo of tea bags or loose tea). I also purchased a tea tumbler (their best seller, and I can totally see why). Although my visit to Chicago had to end, my new fascination with Adagio can continue through their online store where I can also use my rewards card for future purchases.

While there are plenty of tea shops that exist these days (David’s Tea, Teavana, etc), this place is slightly different.
a) The manager is very friendly and engages his employees. He challenges his employees to brew a tea each month and picks an «employee tea of the month» and then they sell it. Great concept!
b) All the loose leaf is locally grown.
c) Unilocal check in gets you a free small tea.
I think if you are in the area and love tea, this is a great place to check out.

We stumbled upon Adagio Teas during our recent visit to Chicago. There was an Easter sale going on at the time where tea sets were 15% off and tea was buy 4 get one free.
They had such a cute collection of caffeine free storybook collection and Disney princess collection box set of teas. I loved their boxed Chicago themed tea box sets as well. They make great souvenirs.
The staff were friendly and helpful too! Wish we had a similar tea store back in California.

Come get at Adagio Teas! This store is only available in Illinois and another one in a country far far away… better than most other tea shops. Came here because I was enticed by their Unilocal offer of a free tea… and it worked! I went into the store hoping to just get a cup of tea and came out with 5 bags of new tea that I shared with a friend!
Environment — probably one of the cutest tea shops I have ever seen. It’s bright with lights and is even decorated for the holiday season! This totally beats your typical Teavana because that place is so darn dark… and no one creepy is standing outside making you try their teas.
Service — the worker who helped us was an Asian female and she was possibly one of the most attentive servers/​worker I have ever seen. She asked us which teas we wanted to try and was very diligent in making them. On top of that, she took time to ask where we were visiting from and then she proceeded on giving suggestions on where to go in the city! Seriously, someone make her employee of the year!
Products — there is a large selection of teas ranging from all over Asia, as well as some favorites from South Africa. I’m not a big tea lover, but my friend who was said that the prices are really good here compared to Teavana. They even have Holiday-​flavored teas :) yummm.
Personal Recommendations
— Rooibo Tea — fruity and light
— Jasmine Phoenix Pearl — expensive but worth the try; the Jasmine is perfect!
Currently deal… Buy 4 get 1 free which I took advantage of!
Come try their teas! There’s a large variety and you won’t regret it :)

Amazing teas, with consideration for the farmers. Really knowledgeable staff. I thought I was a tea snob, but ended up getting showed up by the nice ladies working that day. We sampled so many that day, and brought home alot with us. Glad we decided to stumble in.
PROTIP: They have online ordering.

I had a wonderful, ok… teariffic experience here. I happened to be staying within a short walk of Adagio and noticed it walking by before I planned to stop in on Sunday. With a Unilocal check-​in, I received a free cup of any tea, hot or iced, of my choice! I started talking to the tea expert about nutty teas, and he finally pulled out a secret stash of Chestnut tea, a holiday special. He made me chestnut iced tea while I browsed the store. I ended up wanting to sniff so many flavors not easily found on the sales floor, so he kindly plucked those from another floor and brought them to me. I asked a lot of questions and he and the other associate were very easy to answer and help.
I ended up buying almond oolong and hazelnut black teas, matcha mints, and matcha granola. I signed up and earned points for the loyalty program as well. I also was given a free sample of peach black iced tea. The store is very colorful and fun, and I enjoyed my time (and my tea) there. Hopefully Chestnut will return in the holiday season so I can order it online!
