Adagio Teas

This is a jewel of a store and the staff are the diamonds! I went to pick up an order on Saturday and planned to hurry out but the staff was so friendly and Brett offered a free sample. I accepted and he mixed vanilla and pomegranate green teas together. It was fabulous! I also purchased an infuser and later, when I returned home, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful afternoon sipping tea. We plan to return to the store soon and I look forward to another positive experience.

Today had tea tasting ceremony in Naperville location.
Drue performed excellent! Tea is my passion and I read many info about it, but still many questions was asked and all of them was answered. For coffee loving country I was pleased to see many types of good quality teas in this shop. Ceremony was relaxing, informative and tasty! :)

I went to Adagio for one of their tea tastings, and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. To start, Brett was our tea instructor (?) For the tasting, and he was both informative and amiable.
Each tea tasting has room for a maximum of four people. During the tea tasting, you first receive background information on various types of tea. It is both informational for both people new to tea as well as those who have been drinking tea for a while. At the end, each participant gets to choose a tea to try –each participant getting to try four different types of tea. And when you leave, you get to take a complimentary tea pot with you as well. They are plain but handsome.
As for the rest of the store, there is a wide variety of tea to choose from as well as tea accessories. Their tea is fair trade, and there even are some postcards around the store so that you can write letters to the farmers to tell them how much you enjoy their tea. An additional fun aspect of Adagio is that they have themed series of teas ranging from Chicago to Doctor Who.
Overall, I think this is a great tea store that has quality product and unique features. As such, I highly recommend this place.

This was a five star experience. I went on a whim yesterday, my walking buddy ordered a chai, and I requested information on cleansing teas. The lady told me about matcha, and even made two samples. Really delicious.
I bought the powdered matcha and made it at home. I used a metal whisk, and I may return to buy the bamboo whisk — the results were frothier and more completely dissolved.
From my browsing, the selections were numerous, and the expertise of the employees was high. I’ll be back.

I was introduced to this lovely tea shop today after spending the afternoon shopping in downtown Naperville with my friend. Lisa was very friendly and more importantly knowledgable about the teas. I told her exactly the flavors I like and was shown many varieties. I asked about matcha because it’s been dubbed the miracle tea of our time. She made us both a cup of matcha and explained all the benefits and process of how it is cultivated. It was like two friends sharing an intelligent conversation about tea. No pressure or gimmicks, just tea time.

You can’t miss the unique experience at Adagio Teas. The tea quality in this store is unquestionably high. You get to experience warmth and care, and share your passion for tea while indulging in unlimited exotic tea samplings of your choice and intelligent conversations with the store personnel. I always feel curious, amused, inspired, and uplifted in this place. It’s like experiencing a work of art!
If you love tea, this is the place to go — it is out of the ordinary and their teas are really good!

I am just starting out to be a tea drinker, I don’t know much except what I have read on the net, when I visited adagio teas, I was greeted right away, very friendly, made me feel right at home.
Drue was very educated on the teas and there history. She showed me how to make my tea and how to take care of my utensils:) It was an amazing experience!

This was my first visit and I will definitely return. I love a place that educates the consumer and they do that here. I have been converted to include tea into my day!

Happened across this quaint store while in Naperville today. It’s a tea lover’s dream. Great staff and great tea at reasonable prices. We will be back!

Came upon Adagio yesterday and so glad I did. I love tea and am always looking for different kinds along with the cute cups, tins, etc. This place has it all. I was even able to satisfy my Matcha addiction with their ceremonial grade. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable which is always a plus. I can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend this location.

Amazing place. Our helper, Drue, was extremely knowledgeable friendly and attentive. They answered all our questions and gave us advice on how to make the best tea. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes or loves tea. And the staff there are awesome.

Thank you, Peggy, for a lovely introduction to Adagio Teas… I was looking for something that wasn’t coffee while I waited on an appointment and this was the perfect fit. Thanks for answering all my questions and for the multiple fun flavor choices! Wild strawberry hit the spot!

Today my sisters & I stopped into the store. The store manager Laura was so helpful. She was so patient with us & made sure we get everything we wanted. thanks for making today a fun sister day for us can’t wait for our next visit

I’m so sad to say, but I was heavily disappointed at the service at the Naperville location. I’m a frequent customer at another location. The lady here wasn’t very helpful and when I asked for a large iced tea, she accidentally gave me a medium. And then I asked, «Oh, is that a large?» and she just said, «Shoot, I am so sorry! This is a regular size…» and didn’t bother to offer exchanging the sizes. I asked for lightly sweetened with agave and she made it heavily sweetened. :(She seemed like a really nice person, but just really distracted.
Needless to say, I’m still a huge fan of their high quality teas.

Just found this gem. Lisa was so helpful. She answered all of our questions and educated us to the wonders of Matcha tea.
She offered us a sample of any tea in the shop and explained the benefit s of each type of tea.
They offer tea tastings. A great relaxing girls outing just waiting to happen.

I just left here and had the most pleasant experience! I was helped by Laura who is awesome! Very friendly and super helpful. I love that I can smell every tea before purchasing, unlike ordering off a website. You can try any tea you want before purchase, and they’ll even make it the way you like (sugar, honey, etc.)
They offer a loyalty membership which is free to sign up, and for every $ 1 you spend you get a point. Their rewards are quite awesome and definitely worth it!
I also got 5 bags of tea for $ 24! To me, a great deal. I am highly impressed, and definitely will be back soon for more! Thank you for the awesome visit!

This is an adorable shop that sells so many different variations of teas. A quick note, I am not sure if Unilocal has the store hours correct because I went after the hour and the store was still open. I am not sure if it is because of the holiday season but if you want to make sure, just call them before you go!
I went here specifically to get the Chicago edition tea boxes. The one I got had the Chicago skyline and did a play on word with Chai Town. I absolutely loved it and it is a great souvenir gift!
The store is lined with all the types of tea and you can pick up each one and smell it.
I got the Unilocal check in offer of 1 free tea and tried a fruity one but it only smelled great, didn’t taste that great.
My friend loves green tea and she saw that they sold green tea mints but wasn’t sure if it tasted good so we asked for samples and the store had samples for us to try! And it was delicious!

Having an hour to kill in Naperville downtown due to an unforeseen issue, I wandered around on a hot day looking for refugre and a little refreshment. Unilocal app to the rescue!!!
While I was originally searching for a Starbucks or something similar with some free wifi and shade, I settled on checking out Adagio teas, and I’m glad that I did…
Walking in, I was instantly hit with the very welcomed air conditioning, and a smile from the staff while letting me know that I was welcome to try their two free samples of the day (the mango green ice tea was quite tasty!)
Looking around, the store is done beautifully… there are jars of each and every tea they sell above each package, with an easy to open seal that allows you to smell the scents of that particular mix. The interesting thing was, there were easily 75+ teas available in the store to check out!
After skimming the store, I let the nice staff member know that this was my first time here, and that if I wanted an ice tea, can I just pick from any of the teas on the wall? She confirmed, and said they’re all available!
I finally settled on a vanilla green tea, and she set about preparing the water for steeping, cooling, and extracting the flavors from the tea. 5 minutes later, I walked out of the store with a nice cool ice tea drink with some very original flavors.
Verdict: Super friendly staff, HUGE selection of tea flavors to the point it’s almost overwhelming (in a good way), and a reasonable price point for a nice iced tea. I like it! Looking forward to coming back!

This review reflects my experience for the Groupon Tea Tasting.
These five stars are fully deserved. The decision to purchase the $ 32 Groupon for a tea tasting for 4 was purely an impulse buy, but luckily it was an impulse buy I do not regret. Originally, the deal included 3 tea tastes and 4 teapots to accommodate the 4 tea tasters. Unfortunately, I was lacking 2 friends but the Adagio was happy to provide an adjustment and offer us the opportunity to taste one extra tea and still take home 4 teapot/​tea cups.
I am not an avid tea drinker, but I do prefer unsweetened tea over most beverages. The lady who provided the tasting was very knowledgeable on this subject. After this tea tasting, I now know a bunch of random facts about the tea I drink. I mostly realized that I have been drinking really cruddy tea all my life. She even let us try an additional flavor of tea on top of the 4 originally provided.
The complimentary teapots and teacups was the perfect souvenir. I am going to look so sofisticated with my shiny new tea set.

Awesome tea store with an awesome selection of gifts at a great price. Two things for me really set Adagio apart from other tea stores. First, they offer many decorative tins and boxes of a wide variety of interests (season based themes, city based themes, astrological signs, tv shows, comics, etc.). Second, they have tons of different tea blends in addition to the normal selection of high quality loose leaf teas. This makes Adagio one of my favorite tea stores although I wish there was one closer to me!
Oh and by the way, the teas are delicious!
