★★★☆☆

I thought this tea was okay. I'm not sure what made it less enjoyable for me. Maybe the honeybush is not a flavor that I'm drawn to? It requires more research for me.

★★★★☆

I love the warm smokiness, definitely feels like fall. Improved with a little bit of honey. It’s a nice occasional tea but not something I would drink daily.

★★★★★

WOW! Just wow. When I opened the bag I was really impressed by the unique smell. I can't put my finger on what the unique element is, but the aroma was something else. When I brewed bonfire, it just got better and better. The tea wildly exceeded my expectations, I am ordering more today.

I got this as a sample and I really like it. Its a great autumn tea and its well balanced and not overwhelming or anything.

★★★☆☆

This one is definitely an acquired taste. I love the idea of it and I can see how this could be a favorite for some but there was too much of the smoky flavoring for me. I tried it with almond milk and honey as well but still didn t love the taste.

★★★★☆

Very flavorful, but not really a green tea. Would purchase again!

★★★★★

Bonfire and Cinnamon Fire are my absolute favorites. When you open the Bonfire bag, it literally smells like a campfire. With the smokey smell of the tea, I was worried it would be more bitter than my palate likes, but it was awesome. Another staple tea to have stocked in my cupboard.

★★★★★

I'm surprised at how much I like this tea. I LOVE it! Oh my goodness!!!

★★★★☆

It is a nice tea with a smokey note, the name fits this tea. As a passionate tea drinker I like it, but this tea does not have the 'wow' moment, which would make me want to have more..

Did not think I'd like this one as much as I do, but glad I tried it out! Great autumn flavor with an amazing smokiness lingering. Really gives you the feeling of a campfire. Awesome with some honey and almond milk.

★☆☆☆☆

Not a great taste. Overpowering and too much going on

★★★★★

Lovley, cozy tea. First cup I over brewed so watch out for that.
Since I worked it out though it's really a nice bend for curling to with a blanket on the patio. Just a touch smokey, very smooth, with a light background sweetness throughout.

★★☆☆☆

I figured from the ingredient lists I'd be right up my alley particularly since I do enjoy Lapsang Souchong. I think the combination of the smoked tea, pepper corn, and spices and sweetness from the other ingredients just rings a beef jerky bell in my head and rings it loudly. So it's just a case of things combining in such a way as to create something that just isn't as enjoyable as you might expect. I highly recommend you get a sample before committing to a larger purchase.

It'd make a better candle scent than a tea.

★★★★☆

This one is still good but was not expecting the strong smell. Not my favorite but will still drink it.

★★★★☆

A bold orange and then many spices. Would reccomend if you are in the spice teas.

★★☆☆☆

I personally didn't like this one hot or cold. It had an almost umami undertone to it. My mother loved, it though, so I suppose it depends! You'd like this one if you prefer spiced teas.

★★★★☆

Very delicious fall tea! It has so many notes and flavors. It is not overly sweet, for which I m grateful. There are definitely elements of smoky sweet and spicy. Very enjoyable.

Delicious! Everything you love about fall in a tea.

★★☆☆☆

the ingredient list sounds amazing so i got the sample just to try and it tastes exactly like a bonfire in a cup rather than the tasty sounding ingredients. the smokey taste is just very very overpowering. its fine i suppose if you like drinking tea that tastes like how ash and smoke smells. but i couldnt enjoy it. exactly what it says on the tin though so points for that.

★★★★☆

This tea smells like woodsmoke--as you bring the cup to your mouth the combination of that smell and the flavor of the tea blend very nicely. Not an everyday tea, but very good once in a while!

★★★★★

The smell is out of this world. I love all of the spices that are in the tea. You get this nice tingly feeling in your mouth.

★★★★★

This is one of my favorite blends. Perfect for cooler days.

★☆☆☆☆

I would never choose to drink this again. It’s reminds me of almost drinking garbage water. I added milk and honey to relax the noxious smell of soot. I bought a bunch of autumn teas to try and I am dumping out lots of fresh steeped teas other people really love.

★★★★★

This might be my favorite tea ever. Was a little nervous when I first opened it because the way it smells reminded me of bubble gum, but the flavor was exactly what I'm looking for in a fall tea. Makes me feel like I'm curled up next to the fire reading a good book.

★★★★☆

This is an interesting tea. It s not one I d want every day, but when I just want something different, I ll go for this in a heartbeat. I don t taste much of the lapsang souchong, but that s a good thing. It s probably just an accent flavor. But it is a great morning tea for me with a slightly fruity flavor.

★★★★☆

Strange, intriguing, and addictive. Dry, it smells mostly of orange peel. Brewed, it smells of honeybush and smoke with a slight nuttiness. It's a lovely golden color and tastes smoky and slightly sweet. (The first time I brewed it, I lightly sweetened it with sugar, but I've found I prefer it without.)

Generally I like big, fruity, tart herbal teas, but this is unusual and delicious.

★☆☆☆☆

This is not my favorite tea. To me, it tastes like a spicy, old sweater.

★☆☆☆☆

Nope! I really wanted to like this but just too Smokey for me. Adding sugar didn’t help. Oh well!

★☆☆☆☆

Tastes just like artificial smoke flavor-minimal notes of orange but almost all smoky. Easily my least favorite Adagio tea I've tried.

★★★★★

The smell is really strong but a great taste. Will definitely buy again.

★★☆☆☆

To many flavor combinations for me to really wrap my taste buds on this one. Very strong on the fire smell.

★★★★☆

This is a really unique flavor combination. It is cozy sweet, but with a small bite on the finish. I am not sure this will ever be my go-to tea, but it is certainly a nice way to warm up on a chilly day.

Wasn't quite expecting it to taste like smoked fruity pebbles.

The smokiness wasn t quite my taste, but it was still a good cup of tea!

★★★★★

this stuff is GOOD! literally, fall in a cup. perfect for warm nights

This was the perfect tea to help with my congestion! It was a very flavorful tea, i honestly thought it would have a kick to it like ginger tea

Great Product, perfect combination. I will definitely buy again.

★★★★★

This is one of my favorite Adagio teas for fall. It has a delightful smokey flavor which is perfect for those cooler fall days and nights.

★★★★☆

Very fragrant in the bag with a variety of aromas I couldn't quite place. The brewed tea took some getting used to, but on the fourth or fifth cup it's grown on me. It's hard to really place the flavors, but it's a combination of several different things that come together quite nicely. It's not my favorite, but I don't hate it either.

★★★★☆

This is a very interesting blend I can’t quite put my finger on. I wasn’t loving it at first but the more I drank the more it grew on me. It definitely gives me some strong fall vibes, and the orange is strong. I felt like the cocoa didn’t come through until after sipping it a bit.

★★★★★

I love the Smoky, earthy quality this tea has. It’s delicious with a little milk and sugar

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

This tea definitely lives up to its name. The flavor is reminiscent of the smoky smell that wafts around the camp fire and soaks into your clothes. Make you think of hiking in the woods in autumn.
Overall thoughts on the tea itself; I indeed hit its mark but I believe it’s a more acquired taste. I definitely encourage everyone to at least try it since it’s such an interesting and unique tea.

★★★★★

Really lovely! Almost Tastes like a fall candle smells.

★★★★★

I was a little iffy on trying this, but gave it a try. It tastes spicy with a little bit of smoke. I either mix it with a sweeter tea (Maple Creme Oolong, Candy apple, etc) and add a bit of cream. This is also my first honeybush tea and now I want to try them all!

I love spiced teas, and this is no exception. Great combination of flavors, and I especially appreciate that it's low in caffeine - makes it great for sipping on cooler evenings.

★☆☆☆☆

I was very excited to try this tea, but I didn't enjoy it at all. All I could taste was the smokey, almost leathery taste. I couldn't appreciate any of the other flavors that other reviewers mentioned at all.

★★☆☆☆

This tea has so much going on and yet it is somehow so bland. Nothing seems to hit very well. It doesn't taste bad. It just tastes like something is missing. It's a shame, because it looks amazing, smells amazing and has a whole cornucopia of ingredients.

★★★★☆

This tea has a very smoky aroma out of the container and while brewing. I was almost put off by how smoky it was. But once brewed, I found it pleasant and cozy. The smoke dissipated slightly as it brewed. I would drink this next to a fireplace all bundled up in flannel with a nice thick book.

★★★★★

Not only the scents of fall but the taste of fall as well. Well done!!

★★★☆☆

I get the smell and taste of smoke, leather, citrus with some slight cinnamon. After I first let the tea cool down a bit I only tasted leather. Just okay to me. Definitely different!
