Adagio started in Clifton, New Jersey in 1999, with the creation of an e-commerce site for direct to consumer sales. The two-brother team that started Adagio were inspired by their mother’s passion for high quality loose leaf tea. Upon noticing the lack of gourmet teas in supermarkets and other retail outlets, the family begun importing loose-leaf tea from abroad and distributing it throughout the country. The company is now housed in a 26,000 sq ft warehouse in Garfield NJ, and has begun shipping from a 24,000 sq ft warehouse in Fresno CA. Expanding on its efforts in the United States, the company opened a 3rd warehouse in the United Kingdom in order to serve the European market.[2].
Adagio currently offers over 150 different varieties of tea's and herbal infusions, with categories such as: white, green, flavored, blooming, black, oolong, & pu-erh teas along with rooibos, "herbal", and Bottled infusions. Adagio's Teas are imported from over 10 different countries including China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, & the United States.
Adagio also specializes in the merchandising of tea products, including glass teapots, infuser baskets, ceramic pots, filters, & authentic tasting sets. The company is also well known for manufacturing a line of unique tea dispensers known as the IngenuiTEA. As the first company to distribute this product for the preparation of tea, it has been noted as one of the most successful products in the Adagio lineup.
The company has also released a water filtration device known as the graviTEA which purportedly removes up to 80% of chlorine and 70% of limescale from tap water. Such filtration is said to be important when it comes to the taste of tea due to the chlorine and other chemicals used in public drinking water.
