I love loose leaf tea, and when Adagio was recommended to me, I gave them a try. I've bought several sampler mixes as well as larger amounts of a couple of flavors that I really enjoy. It had been a while since my last purchase, but the tea I still had from Adagio stayed fresh for quite some time! My account on the site remembers what I bought before, which helps me in choosing new flavors. I can't afford to buy this tea often, since it's a little pricey for me, but definitely worth it when I can afford it. I really like that you can make your own blends too.
