Deep vibrant color and sweet flavor. Hearty with a good balance of orange peel dryness and fruit juiciness.

Delicious iced! I bought a sample to try iced because it's part of one of my favorite blends for iced tea (Herbal Berry Sangria) and now I can see that most of the delicious, tangy flavor from that blend is coming from Blood Orange. A larger bag will be going in my next order!
Sweet but tangy flavor. Definitely try this one out for yourself
I get this one frequently, really good hot or cold.
This tea is great on its own. But it is way better when you add to a cup of oolong or Darjeeling.
I received a start pack and this is my favorite and I'm half way through the start pack. I had to come on and order this immediately!
Tasted just like orange. I loved it. Will get it again.
Such a nice taste. The orange is delicate. I’ve tried other brands this one is quite impressive
This tea has been my favorite for years. I love the orange flavor with the hints of berry that comes from the blood orange.
Fantastic! One of my favorite teas on the site. I'll be grabbing this one again in the future
A very bold yet lovely tea. You won’t miss the caffeine
Full of flavor that just pops in your mouth. A really nice addition to a black tea to give it a little more interest. Haven’t made it yet, but anxious to try it iced as well
Delightfully tangy and charming tea. Definitely worth brewing in something clear or white to show off the gorgeous color!
I mostly got this tea for my own experiments in blending, and it works for that, but also is delightful on its own. I highly recommend using this tea either way when you want a certain springyness.
I first used 1 tsp as indicated and brewed for 7 minutes and honestly I wasn’t crazy for it. I read some reviews and several said they found it too tart. I was taught to use 1 and 1/2 tsp per cup when brewing herbals. So I tried it again and. brewed it with more tea and a longer brewing time and wow! So tasty fruity and orangie. Not tart. This screams put me in a glass and ice me. It’s very pretty to look at.
My favorite tea! The flavor is so fruit and great with lemongrass added to the tea.
Nothing to write home about, but pretty tasty! It's not that different from Celestial's citrus zinger teas.
Great citrus flavor and profile. Although not my favorite because I've decided I don't actually like blood orange!
Nice citrus flavor. Probably would make a good summer iced tea.
One of my first teas through Adagio, and still one of my favorite evening go-tos.
Blood orange is a wonderful tangy herbal tea that brews vibrantly red and fills the air with the delicious scent of oranges. For all that orange peels tend to add bitterness to a tea, it manages to stay delightfully juicy, and the addition of hibiscus and rose hips adds a bit of a tangy bite that delights without becoming overly sharp. I like to pair with Adagio's fruit tisane honey to bring out a little more juicy orange sweetness in each sip and tone down the tartness, but it can be drunk with no additives and still be thoroughly enjoyed.
One of my favorite. I drink this tea all day. It is refreshing
This tea is so good! The flavors are bam! in your face in a good way. The aroma is so nice. This might be my favorite fruity herbal.
By far, my favorite! The bold orange flavor and aroma are so satisfying brewed hot or cold but I prefer a cold brew best. I often toss a sachet into my water bottle and refill it throughout the day.
Missed my Winterberry tea from Teavana, so I tried this and found it to be just as good!
This is the perfect blend, especially when you add a little cream to it once steepened.
I can’t get enough of The Blood Orange Tea. Very good hot or cold.
Very sweet and tangy while also being light and a little bitter. I love this tea.
Love the taste of this tea. Very sweet and juicy. Will continue buying this tea.
To all of you Oolongers and First flushers. Why not take a break from chasing the elusive and expensive Dragon and try a tea that has actual real flavor? I've tried many citrus teas over the years. The reigning champ for the last 5 years has been Tealyra's Orange Lemonade. That is until I tried this tea. I'd say what gives this tea the edge in both flavor and color is the rose hips and hibiscus, instead of the Lemon grass that Tealrya has in there's. They both have chunks of dried orange which is great. The thing that I like most about herbal teas is that you can reinforce force them with fresh squeezed fruit juice and good quality dried fruits. I also like to spike them with Yerba Mate. Like this tea for example. I boiled 2 cups of H2o then added 3 teaspoons of this tea along with 1 teaspoons of Yerba Mate. After 6 minutes I strained everything out and then added fresh squeezed juice from half of a high-quality orange, then a few drops of lemon juice, honey and brown sugar. Absolutely mind blowing! In my opinion fortified fruit teas like I made with this tea are the only teas that can compete and hold its own against a good cup of Coffee.
I liked this tea more than I thought I would! It's good on ice.
I thought this was great! It had simple flavors and was easy to make! I like it best with a little bit of honey.
This is my new favorite herbal alongside the Toddy. I now add a teaspoon to my less favorite black teas to brighten them up. It's a perfect addition!!!
We really enjoy this one iced. It has a very bold orange flavor. We also enjoy it hot on occasion as well tho.
Excellent tea. Sweet and tart on its own. No need for extra sugar. Nice citrus taste.
One of my favorites iced or hot. This has a mild tartiness to it that is so pleasing to any fruit lover.
Wow! When you first open up the bag you are hit with such an amazing smell, and i was pleasantly surprised to find out that the taste was just as impressive. I describe it as my "shelf stable fruit juice", because its really just as flavorful. I use one pinch of tea and a spoonful of honey, usually i steep the tea twice and its more than powerful enough for that. I really want to try a variety of teas, but im going to order this one again!
I've looked a LONG time for a tea like this, and I am over the moon to have found it. A lot of blends like this are all hibiscus and a little citrus... not this one. This blend is PERFECT and I will be ordering a lot more because at this point I'm drinking it daily.
yummy! i use this one as a mix for other teas too, as it provides a very pleasant zesty, citrusy taste @adagioteas
Love this one, which is a bit of a surprise as I don't generally go for tart. I used a generous dollop of honey and the taste is as good as the color is beautiful.
I enjoy this tea a lot. It is tangy and almost slightly sour? Definitely lives up to what it is. I steep anywhere from 7 to 10 minutes.
Had a nice flavor and scent to it,is slightly bitter without a type of sweetener but I enjoy my tea with a bit of bitterness overall a pretty good tea.
I love the orange flavor! Hot or cold, this tea is delicious!
This tea should be very good iced and smells good.
This one is interesting. The color is indeed a blood orange, the taste….. I don’t know how I feel about it. I will need to play around with this one a bit as it seems like it needs to be sweeter.
Perfect combination with Wild Strawberry to create the Winter Berry mix from Teavana. 2 Strawberry to 1 Blood Orange= Perfection!
It is so very orangey! I was expecting it to be a little more tangy but it is actually quite sweet and the taste and smell are both extremely satisfying. I never would have considered heating up orange juice, but this is what I imagine hot orange juice would taste like. In a good way.
My family and I love this flavor! Rich, sweet, and tastes like the orange.
I was a bit hesitant to try this at first because I’ve had plenty of orange teas that get bitter and sour very quickly, but this one managed to have a lot of nice orange flavor and just a bit of tartness without being overwhelming or unpleasant
Boring... sounds great but so boring and blah. I am having hard time finishing it.
I like this blend more than my daughter did. It s a bit bitter. Add some honey and it s a great herbal blend @adagioteas
Pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed this tea. Also worked great over ice.
