★★★★☆
This is my favorite fruit tea. Not too tart, and with just a slight hint of bitterness. Great with a touch of agave to sweeten it.
Deep vibrant color and sweet flavor. Hearty with a good balance of orange peel dryness and fruit juiciness.

Smells wonderful, like orange and vanilla, but it's a little too sweet and cloying in the cup. Tea is a pretty ruby red.
Unfortunately, I didn't like this one. There was no real orange flavour, and it was just very tart. I'm sure it would be great in a blend, but by itself it's not good.
This tea was great! A little bitter, but I drank it with a little sugar and it sweetened up really nicely. This was one of my very first times making loose tea, and my first time having or making this tea, so I was nervous that it wouldn't come out well, but I'm glad that wasn't the case! I am still learning what kinds of teas I like, and boy am I glad that I chose this one!
A fine tea it would seem, but it doesn't impart the orange flavour I would expect.
Great tea. I loved the different flavour of orange as opposed to the boring orange.
This is not a bad tisane, but is also not out of the ordinary. The flavor seems a bit on the weak side. in fact the hibiscus flavor is almost equal to the orange flavor. Using too much or steeping too long leads to tartness. Probably best used in a blend.
This tea is pretty good. I like the taste and aroma.
I really enjoy this tea hot or cold. Add some sugar and it is perfect in my opinion.
I love this tea. It is robust and fruity. I order it over and over.
really a great tasting and smelling tea cold or hot
This is an excellent orange tea, and I say this as someone who is not much of a fan of orange. I will be looking for excuses to put this in future blends.
This stuff is some kinda magic. It tastes like orange but also a little tart and tangy. Kind of like orange mixed with cranberry (because of the rosehips and hibiscus). I was reluctant to make it because of the long steep time (I'm impatient) but it was so good I ended up making myself a second cup almost immediately after I finished the first. So tasty.
Smells great, tastes, great, blends great (my favorite is to pair it with the berry blast)! I'm definitely a fan of this tea!
don't oversteep. it'll start tasting like dissolved chewable vitamin c.
lovely cup of tea...I use this in many of my blends and it is also fabulous as a stand alone cup of tea
This is a nice flavorful tea. Excellent for drinking by the fireplace while enjoying a good book.
Very strong flavor. Brew a little less than normal for best taste.
There was TOO much orange flavor for me, but not bad
By far one of the best tea's I have ever had before. It's one of my new staples.
This tea is nice, but it needs a lot of sugar. Once sweetened it's perfect!
One of my all time favs. I love to drink this tea any time of the day. The fruit in this tea is awesome!!
I enjoyed this tea a lot. Nice subtle flavor. I haven't tried it iced, but it would probably be excellent. Has become a favorite of my husband's so we have begun ordering it quite often.
Preferring a heavier flavor, I tended to steep more per cup, would definitely try blended with another flavor.
As expected, this tea is delicious. I love blood orange juice and was excited to see that Adagio had a blend featuring it. After brewing, the color of it REALLY surprised me...I mean, I knew blood orange juice was red, but I didn't expect the blend to be THAT red!XD I drank it without sugar to get the full blood orange goodness. It is a must try for blood orange lovers!
I'm sure there are people out there who would like this tea, but I thought it was disgusting. A nasty acidic taste with no good orange flavor to redeem it.
I think I steeped it a few minutes longer than I should've, but even so, it's delicious.
Also, I think this flavor will be better (for me) as an ice-tea instead of a hot tea
This was the one that I wanted overall and when I saw samples were 2 dollars I splurged more. Divergence aside I opened it and the smell hit me in the face and it was wonderful. I tend to like my tea double strength so I used 2 tablespoons or 6 teaspoons for the 3 cups I made. After everything was finished and poured it, it tasted a bit watery at first but after I let it cool down the taste came out more pronounced and it seems to bring out a nice fruity citrus taste with a bit of tartness coming from the hibiscus flowers. Overall would recommend and I already have :D.
I agree with the other reviewers that notes this tea is best blended with another tea. Irish breakfast made a nice complementary flavor.
I was always skeptical about buying the fruity herbal teas, once I got the sampler, I realized how awesome they were and bought them all. I can't wait for summer! Ill be brewing this tea all day every day!!
After reading the other reviews, I brewed this for iced tea and it was AMAZING. Easily one of the best iced teas I've ever had. Haven't actually tried it hot yet. Hoarding it for iced tea.
Very dependable herbal tea. Reminds me of red zinger which I drank when I was a kid but this has that nice citrus flavor to cut the hibiscus from being overwhelming.
I expected this to be stronger but was pleasantly surprised that it was smooth and delicate. A nice relaxing afternoon treat.
This tea is extremely fruity! You can definitely smell the orange in the bag and after it's brewed. It has a tangy flavor which would be nice mixed with other teas.
This was definitely a blood orange blend rather than a straight orange. I enjoyed this, although I feel like it needs to be added to another tea to reach potential. It's just a little bit flat alone.
Blood orange is great on its own or mixed with other fruity teas, especially a mate. It does not have an artificial orange flavor like other orange teas I have had. The only reason I don't rate it as 'great' is because orange is not my favorite flavor. I would recommend this mixed with raspberry and/or lemon herbal or mate.
Excellence. Pure excellence. Fully versatile and dynamic.
Mostly I add this into a soothing blend. Something for sick tummies and sleepless nights. Wonderful citrus flavor.
This is a very sweet tea! Perfect for this fruity tea lover.
This definitely tastes very orange-y. I don't know if it tastes like a blood orange since I've never had one, but this is pretty good. With a little sugar to balance the sour-ness it's good on it's own, though I would probably use it in blends.
While I'm not a big fan of citrus, I thought it would be a good experiment! This was actually much better than anticipated, though I think it would be best in a blend and iced.
Great orange flavor with not an overly strong black tea flavor - just what I was looking for. :) Delicious!
I think this would make a great iced tea. I like it a lot for an evening drink. It is almost like a grown up version of a fruit punch for me, sweet on it's own, but I like it with some honey also.
This was one of the best herbal teas I've ever had. If you love oranges, try this. You won't be disappointed.
This tea was great served cold and sweetened with a bit of honey. Can't wait to get more!
By far my favorite tea! Smells more orange than it taste but I love the tangy flavor. I put about a tsp of sugar in a cup of my teas but this is one that I don't mind drinking straight. I will be ordering more!
Probably should have steeped it longer: it was lighter than expected.
This blend of fruit pieces is surprisingly delicious! A very refreshing blend that may have you reconsidering whether you should drink this instead of a glass of orange juice in the morning. It has a brilliant red color, too!
This tastes as described. A nice juicy orange flavor with a bit of a tangy undertone. it even colors the tea a blood orange color. However if your looking for deeper fruit experience in your tea, you can't go wrong with Dewey Cherry, which I would recommend over this one.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this tea. The flavor just hasn't impressed me as much as some of the other teas.
