★★☆☆☆

I wanted to love this tea. I would have settled for liking this tea. But alas, I didn't really care for it at all. It smelled great as soon as I opened the package. Very much like apricot. But the taste just let me down. It did not taste like apricots, just a vague sorta fruity taste. There was also a hint of what a band-aide smells like, which was quite unpleasant. I will stick with the Honeybush Apricot for a nice, flavorful apricot tea.

I like fruity teas, but not too fruity. This tea has become my morning go to. it has a really nice balance of flavors.

★★★★☆

A Very nice tea. It reminds me of Peach, with a more subtle taste. Glad I ordered it.

★★★★☆

I use this as a base for a 'Tazo Joy' similar tea. It is working really well for me.

Tastes very similar to peach to me. Pretty good with cream and sugar! :)

★★★★☆

A nice apricot black tea. It is a nice, simple tea, and it smells amazing. My only problem was the tea bags; they leaked a little, instead of keeping everything contained.

★★★★★

This is better than Harney's apricot; it seems to have more apricot pieces. I think this is one of my favorites.

Yum! I ordered this on a whim, but I will be ordering again in the future!

★★★★★

Just like the peach tea, this is great hot or iced, no sweetener required.

★★★★★

Very good flavor, I mix this with either Grapefruit Oolong or Cranberry for a special flavor. It is easy to make perfect tea when you have velociTEA.

I loved this tea, it is great. It smells fantastic and it has a good fresh taste.
And it's a nice change from other fruity teas that are more ubiquitous with teas like peach or blueberry, which I've had in the past.

Strong black tea with a subtle apricot note. The aroma enhances the flavor here. Nothing sugary or sweet, just a hint of apricot.

It smells really creamy but it doesnt have a strong apricot flavor

★★★★☆

This is a good fruity tea if you're in the mood for something less breakfast-y. With a touch of sugar and half & half, it makes a nice afternoon pick-me-up.

The apricot flavor doesn’t really shine through. It gets overpowered.

Very nice black tea with realistic apricot flavor.

★★★★★

Wonderful as a cold brew overnight, Apricot taste is smooth and sweet.

★★★★☆

Light, pleasant fruitiness, not overwhelming. Takes basic black tea up a notch.

★★★★★

Tastes like the apricot tea I remember drinking as a child. Not overpowering or artificial tasting. Just right!

I love this tea flavor! This would make a great iced tea, but I prefer it hot. It has a nice hint of apricot taste without being artificial or overpowering. Definitely one of my favorites.

I had a difficult time identifying the flavor, but it was well blended. Nice and sweet, mild but not bland. And it got even better with milk and sugar.

Tasty! I prefer the green variety but if I'm looking for more caffeine, I'll go for the Ceylon.

I didn’t love this tea. I found the flavor lacking to be honest.

★★★★☆

This tea smells fantastic! The flavor is good; very nice, mellow black tea. Only wish the apricot was a bit stronger. This would be very good with cream/sugar.

★★★★☆

I definitely accidentally oversteeped this unfortunately, but I think it would make a good iced tea regardless!

★★★★★

I love the black tea paired with apricot flavors.

★★★★☆

First thing's first: Let it be known that you'll be greeted by a warm and soothing aroma from the moment you first open the bag, and that carries over to your cup once you've finished steeping, too.

Beyond that, you get some nice sweetness from the apricot (no sugar or honey needed; though honey compliments it very well) and very mild floral notes from the marigold. The apple pieces thankfully aren't 'loud' and don't overtake the tea, simply acting as a compliment to the rest.

Well-suited to sipping, as the flavors start to shine through the Ceylon more as it cools, so try not to chug it~

In the end, makes for a lovely, mellow cup. It also re-steeps well; the second cup was almost as good as the first.

(Kept wavering between steeping this for 3:30 min or 4:00 mins, so I met in the middle and brewed it for 3:45 at 200°F)

★★★★☆

The flavor of the tea in this blend really comes through. The apricot lends a fruitiness which is really nice but did not taste strongly of apricot to me. Somehow there was a creamy flavor which I thought made this tea unique and really yummy!

★★★★☆

Solid tea. Nice apricot flavor. Full tea body and flavor.

★★★☆☆

The apricot flavor is overwhelmed by the black tea leading to an extremely unbalanced blend. This one is a pass for me.

This is just so perfect. It's incredible in blends (Mad Tea Party! Try it!) but so great on its own, too. Just such a nice flavor. Love it.

★★★★★

This tea is smooth and so enjoyable! I added a small drizzle of honey. The aroma and flavor is spot on...hang on while I add it to my wishlist:-)

Hints of apple and apricot in the nose, finishes a subtle apricot, almost peach. This is a treat!

★★★★☆

This black tea and apricot combo is so balanced. True to type, I love fruity teas. you do need to add sweetener to bring the sweetness forward. I went for it iced and sampled this as part of the CommuniTEA July box.

★★★★☆

The apricot flavor balances nicely with the astringency of the black tea. I am not a fan or the fruit, but found this tea to be quite lovely and drinkable - both hot and cold.

★★★★★

I really enjoyed this one. I didn’t expect to. The apricot taste was not overwhelming. It was just a nice cup of tea. I may try it again.

Pretty good! Nothing I'd buy separately but it'd be good in blends.

★★★★☆

This is a super juicy flavored ceylon. If you love apricot, this is the tea for you. It actually is less drying upon the first few sips than others of its' kind, which gives it high marks, but it still has that unpleasant drying effect all ceylons have. Really good for a ceylon, though.

★★★★☆

Not generally an apricot fan. But this was delightful!

★★★★☆

I really enjoyed this tea. I wasn't sure what to expect from the apple being added, but it brought the apricot favour to the front. I added a bit of honey, delicious.

★★★★☆

I sampled this tea as part of the July CommuniTEA. I’m not normally one for heavily fruited teas. This seems different to me though. The apricot and fruit flavors are nicely balanced and the solid backbone of the black tea gives it something to play with. Overall it’s enjoyable.

★★★☆☆

This is a bit bitter and astringent for me. In general, I don't love fruity black teas compared to fruity green teas (my favorite), but this is a perfectly serviceable, if not exceptional, tea. I don't get a lot of apricot coming through; the delicacy of the apricot flavor gets a bit swallowed up by the strength of the black tea.
