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

My first reaction of this tea was the amazing aroma that comes from it. SO juicy of a smell!
Secondly, I was stricken by the beauty of the tea. It is overflowing with orange peels and there isn't a lot of small particles.
Flavor-wise, this is a yummy cup of tea! It's got a beautiful orange flavor and I will be looking forward to my next cup!
This tea has a heavenly orange aroma. The tea itself has a bright orange flavor that leans a bit tart rather than sweet. A little sugar helps balance the flavor some. I prefer this blended with other teas rather than straight, as the taste can be a bit mild on its own.
added sugar as i have a sweet tooth. Lovely, flavourful tangy citrusy and warm. My favourite of the fruity herbal samples I bought that I've tried so far. Should've got a bigger bag of this and less of the masala chai.
I love the tartness of this blend - as soon as I open up the tin my mouth starts watering.
It's alright but not great. Honestly I'd just as soon drink kool aid and save myself the trouble of brewing.
I grew up with Red Zinger and this gives me the same citrusy zing hat I love! Fresh and orangey.
Good flavor,maybe a little tart, definately good on a cold day!
I am a big fan of wild strawberry so I decided to give this one a try. Wow, this blows the wild strawberry out of the water. The tea has this great orange flavor to it. Extremely nice to sip at night. I highly recommend it!
This was a weird, sour aftertaste even when I sweetened it with sugar. Not one of my favorites.
I love this tea for warming up in the evening since it does not have caffeine. It is a beautiful deep red color. I like to make a second pot reusing the leaves, and if I keep the steeping time closer to 5-6 minutes, there is still good flavor left for the second brew.
Loved this one! I do add some sugar, but I also like my teas a little sweeter.
Oh man, I don't know what I was expecting with this tea, but it is peculiar. It just kind of tastes like watered down orange juice. I have had it in several blends, and it is a good place-holder, but it is just too odd to drink by itself.
First time trying an herbal blend and it was a very strong citrus flavor which I liked.
it tastes like orange, which is kind of a good thing, but it isn't quite as tart as i expected, so i probably won't buy again
LOVE the citrus smell of this tea!! It would make an excellent ice tea for hot summer days!
Has a wonderful strong orange taste. The perfect afternoon tea to top off a long day.
I love this tea - it's sweet and dry without losing the fruity orange character which I wanted and for which I was hoping when I bought this tea. I'm buying a full pound to mix with my green teas and for a decaf treat.
Needs almost no sugar for a sweet-tea lover. Light, rich and flavorful. Very happy with our sample's flavor and size.
On its own, the flavor reminds me very much of Constant Comment. Not a great endorsement in my book. However, I do like to add a bit of this to other flavors and blends where I find it adds a nice aroma.
This tea has a lot of flavor. It is my husband's favorite tea. It is very good when steeped for a longer time.
Love blood oranges and this tea finishes with a light citrusy flavor.
I'm not normally a fan of herbal teas, but this was really a lovely way to end the day. It produced a beautiful dark-red tea, and the taste was very soothing. The only reason I don't rate this higher is personal preference. this was good, but still not enough to make me an herbal convert.
make this as an iced tea, I promise you won't regret it
My mother looooooooved this! She was begging for another cup!
very nice, sweet flavor. it really does capture the essence of a blood orange. would buy again!
Blood orange is one of my favorite teas from Adagio - it's so rich without tasting medicinal (which tends to be a drawback to having their fruity black teas). I love pairing it with assam melody and cinnamon for a bright, autumnal taste!
A gorgeous ruby red orange explosion in your mouth. Drank it hot without a bit of sweetener and it was amazing--I can only imagine how incredible it would be iced. Definite keeper.
I was a little leery of buying herbal teas because my track record with them isn't great, but this one doesn't have any of the cloying after taste that I've noticed in some other fruit and herbal teas. It's a nice, straightforward orange flavor, not overdone or boring.
The tea itself smells really good, very citrus-y. But the flavor is very lacking, sadly I will not be buying this again
Not my favorite, but received it as a free sample.
Not what I had in mind. Meh. I wanted more of a citrus flavor.
It's a blood red color when steeped, which is where it gets its name. It almost tastes sour, or like it lacks freshness... I'm not a fan, and won't be buying it again. It's fine warm or cold.
This wasn't my cup of tea, It wasn't bad and I'm glad I tried it out but... I didn't enjoy tartness of this. It might work well blended with something that would even that out for me.
Very, very orange-y, and super yummy. One of my new favorites!
If you like citrus, look no further. This is a delicious flavor!
I like to mix this with fruity white teas. Works well in iced teas. Yummy!
This really just tastes look a fruit punch to me. I need to add a good amount of sugar to even enjoy it. Most likely wont purchase an herbal tea again.
I really enjoyed this tea and re-ordered in November. Unfortunately as I am in Australia customs have seized and destroyed the product. I will not be purchasing again as I have wasted $100.00, money I am not able to lose.
Orange flavor without being too tart and tangy. Great!
Excellent quality, makes killer iced tea. Very refreshing!
I blended a scoop of this with my White Peony and it was divine! So yummy.
Good, but I didn't like this as much as the Berry Blast
This tea smells quite strong, and tastes stronger than the orange, but I like it more perhaps because of these reasons. Quite sweet, with a slight spice-like twinge. Blends well with other teas.
Wow! I love this when sweet and either hot or iced. I rarely use milk or cream but a bit of milk worked well with this.
I received a sample of this, and would definitely consider ordering it in the future.
Very fruity. My fiance loves to mix this with his grapefruit tea.
All my friends love this tea! I think it's great too. A few bags of this almost finishes my holiday shopping
I really like this tea, but it's quite 'different'. There's no 'tea' in there (i.e. 'leaves') that I'm able to find, but rather chunks of dried fruit, flowers and rose hips. The overall flavor is citrus, but it has this really nice tartness from the rose hips. I would almost describe this as a 'tart fruit punch'. I think it's lovely. Nothing in it containing caffeine, so it's great at any time of the day or night.
I was really excited to try this tea because I love oranges, but the scent of it reminded me too much of that strong orange candy flavoring to enjoy a cup. But my friend seems to like it, so I can't rate it as all bad.
My mom really enjoyed this, so I'll definitely be getting more in the future.
