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

I loved the aroma in the bag and when brewed. I also loved the color of this tea. It was just fun to be drink a dark red tea. However, the flavor disappointed a bit. I got more a zest orange taste than an orange. I also was left with a bit of an aftertaste and burn in the back of the throat. I wanted like this one. And it was okay. Just did not quite make myh top ten.
It was a lot darker than I expected, definitely has that deep blood orange taste that’s so different from regular oranges.
An okay tea. The hibiscus flavor is prominent, but the orange does have enough smell/flavor to not be too overwhelmed. A drop of sweetener accents the brew- however it is fine unsweetened.
I like it, but there's maybe a little too much peel taste for me. It would probably be better with more sugar, but I'm trying to cut down on my sugar, so I didn't want to add a lot. Not bad, would drink again, but I don't think that I'd buy it.
Delicious! Tastes almost as good as it smells- and it smells heavenly.
The tea smells amazing dry, with a strong scent of orange coming from the blend. It's less prominent in the brewed tea, and I steeped it for quite a while! The tea has a nice tangy flavor to it with a little shot of citrus. I had it warmed and loved it, but seeing all of the reviews which mentioned it being amazing iced makes me want to try it chilled.
Blood orange has never been at the top of my list, but if you ice this and add a little sugar, it's a winner. I would also love to add some spices for a nice fall tea.
This tea had a very strong orange smell and flavor. The orange is sweet enough that you don't need any sweetener.
This tea has a strong, clear orange flavor. I steeped it at 212F for 8 minutes and it turned out just right. A great pick!
I love blood orange, so I'm biased.
This packs a fruit punch in the best way orangey citrus and tart citrus. I steeped for 10 mins; I did try a sip hot but let it cool for an Iced tea at dinner. I did add a little honey, as is my way. Tart and refreshing perfect for end of summer transitioning into fall beverage. I sampled this Tea as part of the CommuniTEA September box.
This tea has a tart-orange flavor which is nice on it's own, but I especially like it blended with a green tea (like the Mandarin Green). As an herbal tea, it's nice to make into an iced tea that doesn't have caffiene. It's a little acidic wth hibiscus (but I find that true of most teas that include that flower) but not enough for me to stop recommending it. (You just might not want to drink it before bed if you're prone to heartburn.) UPDATE: I've been using this for cold-brew tea and I've found it to be much less acidic! I actually think I might prefer this as a cold tea.
It's a punch in the face orange, like drinking warm, fresh orange juice. I added a few bits of rock sugar and a dash of pineapple juice. Pretty good, but not something I would purchase again.
When I saw that Orange and hibiscus were the main ingredients I was a bit worried that it would be too tart. But served hot with a bit of sweetener and this is an amazing tea! I especially love the deep rose red color the brew becomes.
I love this tea. The color is amazing and it has the most delicious taste. It has no bitterness, just smooth vibrant taste. Yum!
I steeped hot then took to work and added ice. One of the best teas I've ever had iced!
This tea is lovely, smells like sweet tarts or smarties in the bag
Very fruity.
Smelled great when brewed it out, but it tasted better as it got colder. I’m not a big iced tea drinker, but I could see myself making this one.
This was such a nice iced tea!! The flavors came through and reminded me of a childhood treat-like fruity orange juice, without the sugar. Fun!
As someone who isn't fond of the taste of hibiscus this tea is not for me. The sourness of the hibiscus is amplified by the orange making this super sour. No amount of health benefits can make me love something so sour.
I sampled this tea as part of the September CommuniTEA. Normally I’m not one for overly fruity teas, but this seems different. The orange is nicely balanced with the herbal components. I did extend the steeping time up to 10 minutes and it really makes it pop.
All I could taste was hibiscus. Very sour. Not for me.
I put this in the middle because I could tell as an iced tea it would have been really good. I was not a fan of this hot and before I could think of making this iced, I had dumped it down the drain.
It’s color is spectacular and makes me feel like leaves in the fall but I also love the iced tea I got. Natural. No sweetner needed but a tad of stevia does make it even better. A thoroughly enjoyable treat 💗💗💗💗💗 another 5 heart winner!!!
I cold brewed today's tea and added just a touch of sweetener to the glass. Friends... this is fruit punch. Honest to goodness, gourmet Hawaiian Punch cold fruity beverage. This drink is everything the kona pineapple from the other day should have been and wasn't. It's a perfect cup for winding down summer with. (cold brew, ~2 hrs)
It is veeeery orangy, to the point that I feel like I should of just had glass of orange juice. Hot, it tasted like hot orange juice. Cold, it tasted like cold orange juice. If you really like orange juice, you will probably like this tea.
Tangy and fruity. Good cold, will be go to for iced tisane next summer.
I expected this to be more tart than it was. While sweet, I didn’t find the flavor to be too strong. Enjoyed! Would like to try it iced.
Fruity herbal teas are not usually for me. I do like this Blood Orange blend. It has a tangy flavor that sets it apart from other fruit teas.
I enjoyed the spicy undertones of this tea. I had it hot and it was a great cup.
One of my favorite herbal teas from Adagio! I love the tart flavor and the orange taste. Almost like eating oranges candy slices.
This is one of my favorite 'red' teas! Juicy orange flavor that is really great iced.
Delicious! I love the strong blood orange🍊 flavor! It's the perfect level of tart and fruity!
Tart and citrusy, this is one of the best orange teas I've ever had. And I love orange tea a lot.
Wow I am very happy with this herbal tea! The flavor is bold! Just perfectly sweet, makes for a good hot or iced tea without a need for sweeteners.
This is a good, fresh, and slightly tart citrus tea. Good for hot days, as it's great iced! The tartness can be a little overpowering at times, but I imagine some honey would solve that issue.
I will admit I’m not the biggest blood orange fan. The bite can be a bit much for me in certain mixes. But with a sugar crystal, this tea is absolutely delicious
Love it. Love it. Love it. I have been looking for a tea similar to David’s Teas Pink Flamingo since they discontinued it. I think I have found it. Amazing tart taste. Red colour. I can’t say enough good things. Will be ordering some to try iced too.
Excellent as an iced tea, warm I found it a bit ambitious. I’ve blended this with other fruity tea and it’s an outstanding base for punch-like tea.
I do not like this tea hot, like at all. That said, it's absolutely delicious iced!
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this tea, especially because I typically don't go for strong citrus flavors.
It’s very fruity and flavorful but not so much orange flavor: more fruity without a dominant orange taste.
we could ONLY taste and/or smell the hibiscus. have a lot of blood orange dried that i use in water or as tea additive and could not taste it AT ALL in my sample. BUT hibiscus is a naturally healthy tea - lowers bp for those who don't want meds, and so would be a good choice to buy and add my dried oranges
This one is a favorite: tangy, rich, strong-flavored.
An amazing citrus tea. It’s great both iced and hot!
I thought I did not like citrus tea due to bad experience with tangerine te but this tea changed my mind. The orange flavor smells so good and natural. I cold brewed it and it’s so refreshing. Love it!
A wonderful tea when served iced. It has a nice orange tang that is very refreshing. One of my favorites!
Blood Orangey, not just Orangey, so much appreciated
I was excited to try something new and this one is good. I kind of mix it with a black tea. Love it as part of my vitamin c. Love this as a boast in the winter especially.
I first got this in the orchard sampler kit, and I was blown away at how crisp and flavorful it is even when cold brewed. I just let it steep overnight in the fridge, and have delicious iced tea the next day!
LOVE THIS HERBAL. WISH THEY HAD THIS IN SOMETHING WITH CAFFEINE
