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

One of my all time favorite teas. Tasty cold or hot, good for a vitamin C boost, and drinkable at any time of day since it's caffeine free. Bought the biggest bag of it and am quickly devouring this bright, colorful, flavorful tea.
Bloody good! A tart, citrusy tea. This one is mindblowing with a bit of honey or agave nectar.
Good! Definitely orange-y, but with a tang (probably from the rose hips) and a depth that goes beyond the orange flavor.
My family loves this tea iced. It's got a great clean, crisp flavor that's very refreshing. My sons, 8 and 10, ask for it. And that's without sugar!
update: Our biggest thing now is to make a concentrate and add to seltzer...YUM!
I'm not usually one for herbal teas, but this is easily one of the best teas I've had in a while. I followed the suggestion of a few other reviewers and used about half a heaping tablespoon, and the result was a strong, tangy, bright tea that would be delicious hot or iced. Definitely buying some more of this!
It's good but don't steep it for too long or it will get sour. Learned that one the hard way. Otherwise it's great on its own, no need for honey or sugar in my personal opinion.
I have to admit I was really looking forward to trying this tea, so I might be biased in its favor because I wanted to like it. That being said, this tea was delicious. It tastes like an orange, which is exactly what I want in a tea called blood orange. I've tried it with and without sweetener (I use stevia) and it might be my favorite herbal tea ever.
Absolutely amazing. If you like citrus, this is an excellent choice.
I'm not usually a fan of fruity or orange flavored teas but this is totally not anything like those. it's tart and delicious. great iced!
Nice orange tea.
This herbal tea has a great orange taste and a beautiful color. A lovely choice for a light afternoon tea when you can't have caffeine.
I love it iced. It smells wonderful and has a nice flavor.
On opening the bag, it smelled of delicious oranges. I steeped it with boiling water for 7 minutes (it recommended 5-10, so I went for right in between). When I poured it into my cup I instantly fell in love with the deep red color that it turned out to be.
I tasted it on its own first and it was a bright tangy orange flavor. More tangy than sweet, but definitely tasty. I added in a little honey and it reminded me of the citrusy honey tea my mom used to make me when I had a sore throat as a kid. Delicious.
I prefer my tea a little less 'bright' but I am enjoying this cup that's for sure and I will enjoy every cup made with my little sample bag! I'll be buying more in the future for sure
you've got to try this iced! A touch of sugar really brings out the flavor. Perfect on a hot day.
I will first admit that I am not the biggest fan of herbal teas, I tried it as a sample. I enjoy the citrus but the hibiscus makes it overwhelmingly sweet for me. However, if you like sweet teas, this may be a good choice for you.
Orange, rosy, fruity berry like flavor in first brew receding into a rosy-orange flavor in second and third brews. Pretty much what I expected, quite good but not my favorite combination as fruity citrus teas are not my personal 'cup of tea'. Others with me who have tried it said they very much enjoyed it though.
I'm normally not one for fruit teas at all, but I love blood orange and just had to try this. I'm glad I did -- juicy, ripe, delightful straight-up blood orange. I am in love. I will ice this next time I brew it. Outstanding.
I may be slightly biased here because I haven't tried to make a hot cup of this yet - but I have made it iced and I found it to be very bitter. By the time it got sweet, there wasn't really any blood orange flavor left.
It really does turn the most beautiful shade of dark red. It's really sweet, so beware of that if you're not a huge fan. I adore the citrus taste.
Let me start by agreeing that this tea has a truly beautiful color. The tea itself was a heady sort of citrus. It was not too sweet, but it did have a sourness to it that was a bit much for me.
I expected a tea that would be sweet and cloying, instead I got smoothness with fruit flavors free of the overly sweet flavors of most similar teas I've had. I was very pleasantly surprised by this and will be having more.
If you like tea even a little, you need to try this tea! This tea is ridiculously good. I drink it iced and sweetened with stevia. I only ordered a sample pack which isn't going to last much longer. I wish I had ordered at least a pound!
Amazing red color, full bodied flavor and wonderful orange flavor that isn't too sweet or spiced. LOVE THIS!
I was excited for this tea because blood oranges are my favorite fruit. The tea smells amazing when you first open the bag. I love how you get all these sweet flavors that blend together especially the orange and hibiscus. I put sweetener in my tea like I usually do and found the tea to be far too sweet. Next time I will omit it, it will be the first time I haven't had to add it to tea ever.
Updated: I made a pot and drank a cup without sweetener and it wasn't an improvement on the previous cup. While I don't think it's horrible without sugar it's just kind of bland. I liked the tea but I don't think that it is one that I will purchase again.
I got this to mix into an iced tea. Just the smell coming off this mix is wonderful. It's got a hearty orange flavor, more so than you would get from an orange rooibos or an orange black.
Excellent citrus flavors, and the color is striking. Good hot or iced.
Not a bad herbal, but definitely not as tasty as the dewy cherry, in my opinion. I still love brewing these and then pouring over a pint glass filled with ice. Very refreshing.
Not too sweet, Not too bitter, just right. Great hot or cold.
I really like the Blood Orange and to be honest I was surprised I didn't think that I would. Today I mixed it with some Lemonade I got from Earth Fare and Refridgerated. Perfect for these hot summer days.
Tart, deep and soothing. A very natural, uplifting taste.
The colour, the smell, the taste! Blood Orange in every way.
I swear, this tea smells like Fruit Loops. The taste, of course, is decidedly orange flavored, though without being too sweet. Juicy mouthfeel, slightly buzzy, but very relaxing. Also, this herbal is wonderful for mixing with other teas when you want a citrus kick.
This scent really kicks you in the teeth when you open the bag. It's so strong and fragrant, and is exactly as described. It's perfect cold, and I added gratuitous amounts of sugar to it (Southern US - we love our tea diabetic-coma level sweet). I imagine this would also be good if you wanted it hot with some honey around Christmas time!
A very good iced tea. Sometimes it gets a bit acidic, but that's easily solved by reducing the brewing time a bit. It's so sweet and delicious that I just drink it plain.
I enjoyed this iced mixed with green tea. It's a slightly tart and boldly colored brew. Even better with a squeeze of lemon
I love the taste but not the way I felt after each time I drank it.
Wow, this one is delicious! An amazing scent when you open the bag, and just as good after it's brewed. It has a little bite when you take a sip, but smooths out into a perfect balance of flower/fruit. Highly recommended!
Very good, tastes excellent. Definitely going to order again
The first time I brewed this, I hated it! Turns out, I brewed it too weak and for too long, leading to a watery cup of tea with a bad aftertaste. I brewed it again using more tea and a shorter brewing time and was blown away. This tea is phenomenal. Very delicious orange flavor without being artificial or overpowering.
It smells like those sugared orange candies that pop up around at the holidays and the taste is just fantastic! It's topped hibiscus as my favorite tea ever. The splash of orange just really takes it to another level. Just don't stick your nose into the steeping teapot -- the orange peels don't smell so good as they absorb the water!
I discovered this tea as a hot tea and it was pretty good and then I decided to try it as an iced tea - even better! I'm definitely a fan.
I love this tea and so does my whole family! I highly recommend this tea! :D
I LOVE this citrusy tea! It's like drinking hot orange juice, but better! It requires very little sweetener. Would definitely buy this again.
This is one of my favorite teas. Great hot or iced, and I also like to add some OJ to it to make a great summer drink.
This particular blend makes a great iced tea! It's great hot too. I like to drink it in the evenings especially since there is no caffeine.
I *love* this tea. This is the first tea I purchased from Adagio, in an attempt to find a replacement for the orange flavored tea from Teavana. The two are extremely similar, and Adagio comes with a kinder price tag. I enjoy mixing this tea with a Vanilla Honeybush to get an amazing creamsicle flavor.
This is one of my favorite teas from Adagio. It tastes like fresh oranges, and is great on its own, or blended with other teas.
This is good - could have more orange flavor to it.
Very tangy, like a real blood orange. Brews to a beautiful color. Would probably be excellent iced and sweetened.
Love this tea! Great mixed with green or oolong teas. Perfect summer drink chilled, it doesn't require any sweetners.
