★★★★☆

I don't know what else to say except this tea is what fall tastes like! You know, besides pumpkin spice.

★★★★★

This one tastes like you are sitting around a campfire. Perfect fall tea!

★★★★★

This is an aromatic blend that carries subtle spice to it. Warm and refreshing! Perfect for fall!

★★★★★

This is hands down the best tea I have ever tasted! The best way I can think of describing it is that it's fall in a cup 100%. I got to try a cup at a friends, came home and immediately ordered a bag. My husband ordered another bag for us 4 days later, 'to make sure we have plenty'! It really is that good.

★★★☆☆

The citrus and smoke flavors overwhelm the others after brewing. I enjoy it for what it is, but evocative of a 'bonfire' it ain't.

★★★★★

This one isn't as spicy as I expected it to be, and it smells smokier than it tastes, but the flavor is so good. It's definitely one to curl up with on a chilly autumn evening with a good book in your hand.

★★★★★

I can't stop drinking this! It really does feel like drinking in a bonfire. It's smoky, applish, and just delicious.

★★★☆☆

I wasn’t sure how I would like this tea because of the lapsang souchong in it. But, I was pleasantly surprised at the final result. It was good!

Oh man. The smell, the taste, the color...this tea is so delicious it's not even funny. Spicy and fruity and smoky. I'm buying a bigger bag as soon as payday comes around!

★★★★★

I really, truly loved this one. It s lighter than most of my go-to blends, and it s nice to have something lightly spiced for a cool autumn day.

★★★★★

I don t know how there could be any negative reviews for this tea, this stuff tastes sooo good! At first you taste some slight orange, and the taste morphes into the taste of the honeybush and cacoa. I would recommend to anyone that likes a good herbal tea, I bought a pound and will probably be buying more.

★☆☆☆☆

I took a leap of faith with this tea and ordered a full size without sampling first. I hesitated when after brewing I hated the smell. I still tried it and it tasted like a burnt piece of toast. My mom liked it though, so I gave her the tea.

I know other reviews said they were put off by the smell, so I was a little skeptical. However, instead of strong smoky scents, I was greeted with a flavorful aroma of a spiced cookie. I love looking at this blend with all the colors and bright red berries as well as drinking it. I'm currently enjoying a cup right now as my greeting to autumn!

★★★★☆

I like the fun blend of cozy, toasty, and nutty flavor .

★★★★☆

This tea was so interesting in that I couldn't put my finger on how it made me feel. There's chocolate, orange, cinnamon, and the smokiness of lapsang souchong. It's a lot of flavors to sort out and as such, even after multiple mugs I couldn't decide if I liked it. I don't regret the purchase, but I wouldn't buy it again.

EDIT: It grew on me. Buying it again. Hahahaha

Super fun fall flavor that is enjoyable in the afternoon especially since it's herbal :)

★★★★☆

Tastes just like sitting by the fire. A little heavy on the red peppercorns but there s a time for it

★★★★★

This tea is wonderfully spicy, delicious, and excellent either hot or iced. I love it!Love this tea!

★★★☆☆

Smells better than it tastes. Apparently, smokey just isn't my thing. And bonfire is smokey ... who knew?

★★★★★

As someone who no longer drinks caffeine, this was a perfect and delicious way to enjoy a smoky treat ... until one day they produce decaf lapsang souchong.

★★★★☆

Toasty and tasty! This tea is great for cold nights.

★★★★☆

A unique mix of flavors perfect for cooler weather.

★★★★★

This was an amazing tea, one of my favorites! I do tend to prefer smokey flavors :)

★★★★★

My daughter loves this tea on ice or with an orange slice in her hot tea.

★★★★★

Best Fall and Wintery flavor ever. Its a combination of smokey and sweetness. Get some before its gone! Its so unique. I've never tasted any other tea like it. I hope it will return again & again

I absolutely loved the addition of the red peppercorns in this!

★★★☆☆

While it was very good for a cup or two, it became far too much to quick. The smokiness really overpowers the cup. But in small doses, it's okay.

This tea is great for cold fall and winter nights!

★★☆☆☆

The smokey flavor of this tea over powered the other flavors of the tea.

★★★★☆

Pleasant taste, nice for a cold night by the fire.

★★★★☆

Really like this one - very complex flavors - at first the smokey taste is strong but it mellows after that. Seems to have more than trace caffeine.

★★★★★

Great cinnamon flavor. Wonderful to drink infront of the fire.

★★☆☆☆

I love Adagio teas, so it was worth the adventure of tasting this one. I didn't like it. Odd balance of flavors. As if someone had a Christmas party with fruitcake, cinnamon chocolate, etc., and then washed their dishes...and this is the dishwater. I let some chill overnight, and it wasn't as bad the next day, cold, but as fresh hot tea it was unpalatable.

★★★★★

This is the perfect amount of spicy and sweet, I would recommend giving this a try. It is great for the winter weather months

★★★☆☆

A nice tea for a fall day. My daughters enjoy it more than I do, but I am really more of a black tea drinker versus other herbal teas. Not bad overall.

★★★★☆

This is a really nice evening tea, since the caffeine level is low. I actually added a little extra lapsang to mine the next time I made it, because I really like the smokiness in lapsang and I felt it was missing that little punch.

I thought I would like this better. The description sounded yummy but I guess I just don't like the cocoa flavor in my tea.

★★★★★

Kind of ordered it by accident. Has a very complex taste which I really like

★★★★☆

Nice autumn blend. I could do without the smokey flavor.

★★★☆☆

Smell: amazing! it really smells like a bonfire, spicy and complex
Taste: sweeter than expected, with a strong honeybush flavor and the orange peel and clove coming in on the end.
Overall: I'm enjoying this tea ok but I think I would love it with a black tea base rather than honeybush. I love the mix except the honeybush taste really bugs me--I don't like it.

★★★★☆

This tea is not at all what I expected. I thought it would be closer to a caravan black, but it is still tasty.

★★★★☆

At first I wasn't sure I'd like this tea. But it's grown on me. It does remind me of camping in my Uinta mountains and I recently took it with me on the plane to enjoy. Worked lovely.

★★★☆☆

I was interested in this, but the tea by itself was just too strong. I bearly tasted the smoke or anything beyond the orange/citrus flavors. I did find that blending it with cream or vanilla made it pop. And adding it to my chai blends created interesting flavor combos. It was a good try for something new, it just needs a bit of tweaking still.

★★★★☆

Oh, this one was really different, and not what I was expecting, but really good. It was very smokey, and had some of the spice showing through, but unlike others, I don't think the orange flavor was over powering at all.

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea for Autumn and Winter! My partner who is not that much of a tea lover was in awe of the scent of this tea and he really enjoyed the flavor. Smells like a perfect Autumn but also smells like a cozy Winter evening by the fireplace!

★★★★☆

This tea is very different from most teas I've tried. You definately get a hint of smokey aroma when you first sniff the tea. I wasn't sure about the flavor combo at first but it grew on me.

★★★★★

Good interesting autumn/winter flavor. I like it for mid-afternoon when it's too late for a full-caffeine drink (while there is some black tea in it, that's not the main ingredient, and the description says low caffeine.)

★★★★☆

This tea is good for an afternoon sipping tea. The fruity and chocolate flavors hit your palate in alternating sips. I like to drink this when I just want an afternoon cup.

★★★☆☆

This is an unusual tea, to say the least. At first, the leaves give off an almost shocking candy sweet apple aroma. A muddled fragrance of sour orange, smoke, and spice that strangely reminds one of wet, fallen leaves (appropriately) follows. Once brewed, the tea has a much softer and more pleasant scent that is reminiscent of an herbal apple cinnamon tea with additional depth from orange and smoke undertones. The tea itself tastes strongly of orange upfront but is complemented by hints of cocoa and a suggestion of smoke on the back of the palate (it's probably more of a scent than a taste, actually). Overall it's interesting but not unpleasant. It's not a favorite either. Fortunately, it's flexible: it's good sweetened with either honey or sugar but it's also good on it's own. It resteeps well, but I agree with other reviewers who have mentioned lightly tossing the tea to mix it up.

Love this tea. It's warm and cozy and full of flavor. I add it to Honeybush. Good with sugar and cream. Smells wonderful!
