The flavor of ripe apricots and bright decaf black tea. Soft mouthfeel, succulent flavor, balanced astringency.

There is a peachy aroma emitting from the CommuniTEA packet, as it opens, and charming marigold petals smile up at me. This steeps (at a slightly lower temp to avoid bitterness) into a lovely amber color. The flavor is a mild peachy/apricot one, with zero bitterness or astringency. Adding a little sweetener (1/4 teaspoon to 10 oz) allows the sweet fruit flavors to come forward even more. Lovely, light tea with a soft mouthfeel and clean finish. (3 mins @ 200ºF + sweetener).
While somewhat neutral when it comes to the flavor of apricot, I found the the combination of it and black tea to be wonderfully refreshing. The flavors were nicely balanced and played well off each other. Will be adding this to an order soon.
Decaf Apricot is a delicious black tea with the perfect balance of apricot without the caffeine.
Wonderful apricot aroma. Apricot came thru strong all the way! Excellent fruity decaf! Purchased three ounce pouch.
Steeping note: ⅜ tsp sugar added
It's ok. I don't get a lot of apricot in it, but throw some peach bellini mix in it and then it gets realy good. lol
This has a wonderful light taste of apricot. Because it is decaf, it is perfect for a late night cup!
I ordered this a while back and must have received a bad batch. This new shipment was amazing. Stronger flavor, but not overpowering.
Was looking for a decaf option and I will say this did not disappoint. The apricot lends itself well to being enjoyed by itself or blended with another tea (I personally did not like the bella luna blue and mixed this in to create what I call New Moon-- it was so cool the tea turned pitch black and tasted quite nice)
Very flavorful, and smooth! It's been nice to have a full body decaf!
It's a little floral instead of sweet, but it is unmistakably apricot. It's great cold brewed with a squeeze of lemon and makes for good iced tea. Brewing it hot is just as good and brings out the flavor of the black tea more.
I love this so much! Unsweetened or sweetened, the apricot shines through. So light and refreshing.
I was beyond surprised by just the smell but when I finally tried it….. It was beyond my expectations!
Definite apricot taste and no caffeine, a nearly perfect tea.
This is a good natural sweet tea. I like the flavor but not as much as the orange.
I normally like peach and apricot, but this had a very strange flavor that I just didn’t love. It was almost sour tasting to me.
The flavor is amazing it’s rich and perfectly apricot-y. However, there is absolutely no way this is decaf. I like to have one glass of decaf tea in the afternoon. I’ve tried this one a few times as my afternoon option and each time it’s given me the same heart racing feeling as full caffeine and has caused trouble falling asleep. I think it would be a great option for those who are less sensitive to caffeine. I’ll stick to this before noon :)
This is one of my favorite teas. The apricot flavor is subtle but fresh and I love that I can have it ANY time of day worry free from caffeine. I usually get the tea bags as I find they are more convenient and travel easier so I can enjoy anywhere!
Decent tea. I like as a option to have at night so that I am not drinking caffeine late at night.
One of my favorite decaf blends I've had from here so far! Reminds me of my Old World grandma sweetening black tea with apricot jam. The flavor is perfectly balanced-- not too strong like the raspberry teas I've had here, but not weak/trace. Has those lovely marigold flowers too which seem to be the magic in Adagio blends. Would def buy again.
Great option for decaf tea, the flavor is really nice.
Great flavor. I really enjoy being able to drink quality decaf tea. My friends also really like it. great flavor
great for cold or hot nights, nice subtle fruity flavor!
I love the natural flavor of this apricot tea, hot or cold. I mix it with decaffeinated vanilla for added richness.
When I opened the bag it had an artificial smell. I put some my steeper but all of the leaves leaked out as soon as I put them in the water, that was another bad sign. There is a slight apricot taste when it's hot, but the second it cools down it tastes like medicine. I can't think of any medicine I've ever had thats apricot flavored, but it tastes so much like children's flavored medicine. I tried it cold but that made it even worse. Really disappointed because I love apricots.
This tea has a good flavor, just not as much zing as an apricot flavored tea should have.
Good flavor. Prefer the teabags over the loose tea. Update: still prefer the teabags. I'm not one to do well with making a mess, which I do with the loose tea.
This one had such amazing reviews, I was really eager to try it. I am always looking for decaf teas that are not disappointing, since I always want to drink tea at night. I wish the apricot flavor was a bit more overstated here, since it is easily overpowered by the black tea. Brewing time here might matter a lot more than with other teas. Please note, water boils at 199 degrees where I am, due to altitude.
strong decaf tea witha tangy flavor. one of my favorites
Not my favorite, but I think I'm just learning that I'm not a black tea fan.
I love this tea! Smells so amazing and really brightens up my day whenever I make it!
Delicious! It actually tastes of apricots! I can't get enough of it.
Great fruit aroma and very tasty on it's own. I'd want a little more apricot after brewing though.
This tea is fine, but we found we didn't love having the bits of fruit in it. If you like fruit, you'll probably like it.
This was very good iced and with a moderate amount of sweetener useful to bring out the apricot flavor.
Definitely will be buying this to create delightful iced tea cocktails.
This one has a really good apricot taste without being bitter or overwhelming like black tea sometimes is.
I was looking for a decaf alternative for iced tea and this blend is excellent. Flavorful without being overly fruity. I can still taste the tea!
I found this decaf apricot tea when I was looking for passionfruit tea. I was surprised how good this apricot tea and finished it before I finished passionfruit tea. I am going to order more.
The decaf version of one of my favorite Adagio teas. Absolutely fabulous. Just enough fruit to lighten up the black tea, but not too sweet either.
A nice decaf black with apricot flavor. I enjoyed this one.
This is very tasty. It's certainly a tea I prefer with honey for black tea. Brewing was a bit odd. It calls for 212 degrees for 3 minutes but that isn't combination on the velociTEA. First brew I used 180 for 3 minutes and then warmed to 212. Second brew I used 212 for 5 minutes. I enjoyed both but preferred the first.
This tea with a bit of milk is prob the best tea I have ever tried.
This tea has a perfect apricot smell and great taste to it. I enjoyed it cooled down. Also, I'm happy that it comes decaf.
Really wanted to like this one more, but the apricot flavor just didn't come through. It being decaf probably didn't help either.
The decaf apricot has a pleasant, mild apricot flavor that nicely complements the black tea.
Vert pleasant and mild. Make sure not to over steep!
I love all the teas so far that i have bought
Recently purchased the Vanilla Green, i love it and reordering more. My son bought me a few teas to try, he alsonloves
Very much like a tea I remember from Childhood, perfect balance of tea and fruit, very natural flavor
I love fruit flavored teas but I also need them to be decaf. This was such a great find. It’s is one of the best fruit-flavored teas I’ve had.
I don’t tend to enjoy herbal teas as well as a good black tea, so I got some of the flavored decaf teas and have loved them. The decaf apricot smells wonderful, and is a light fruit flavor.
