I tried this cold brewed. While it definitely toned down the hibiscus, it is still too tart for me.
A jammy sweet mix with deep, rich fruity flavor, sweet-spicy aroma, full-bodied and light herbal notes.

I tried this cold brewed. While it definitely toned down the hibiscus, it is still too tart for me.
Update: this time around, I cold steeped. MUCH better and very refreshing!
Knowing hibiscus’ tendency towards tart, I cut the steep time on this to about three minutes. This was good and bad. The flavor didn’t have as much pop as I’d like overall, but the flavor I did get was predominately strawberry, which I was aiming for. This was a nice tea, but probably not the one I’d reach for first.
Wonderful blend with just the right pop of tartness. Liked it even more as it cooled. Could taste both cherry and strawberry most prominently, with subtle hints of lemon and herb shining through casually. Very, very nice.
Very tart flavor with a strong taste of hibiscus and cherries. Once cooled, the strawberry came through more and was overall more enjoyable. I think this tea is best when it's cool or iced, very refreshing!
CommuniTEA sample: Cold brewed this one in sparkling water and added frozen strawberries as “ice cubes”. Made for a nice afternoon sip but not my favorite flavor profile all the same.
yummy both hot and chilled! really nice and tart and fruity, i recommend some honey for those who aren’t a fan of tart
Nice fruit tea (strong rose) that I enjoyed iced on a hot Texas day ☀️
Definitely fruity but there is a strong hibiscus which sours this tea for me.(212F for 6min)
Fruity herbals aren’t my favorite to begin with, but I can’t say that this fruity herbal is one of the better ones I’ve had. Tart, fruity, watery. It might be more enjoyable iced.
This blend is very hibiscus-forward, with playfully sweet notes of cherry, strawberry, and rose hips tying everything together. There is also a tart, hazy lemongrass flavor throughout, adding pleasant depth. This is a wonderful example of a blend where cherry flavors can shine without being overwhelmed by rose.
This tea was perfect cold brewed. So light and fruity.
Not overly tart without sweetener, light and fruity with sweetener. I brewed a pot of this tea hot and I think after the first cup, I might cool the rest and enjoy it cold
CommuniTEA portion: Cold brewed this blend overnight. Very hibiscus forward to me, which isn't my favorite. Had a hard time tasting the berry. Just tasted mostly tart to me. A nice blend if you are into the tartness! :-)
Another cold brew contender, this tea was like a mouth full of jelly beans... and sometimes that's okay! No sugar needed, it came through sweet and fruity, not my favorite fruit blend but pretty refreshing all the same.
I cold brewed this tea and was delighted with the result. Strawberry, cherry and orange played quite nicely together...all three distinct flavors were present in my cup. This would be great for a refreshing summer iced tea.
I was expecting this to be really sweet, but it actually has a nice tartness, too.
I feel like this one by itself needs a bit more oomph to it, and the flavor isn’t my favorite. I think it’s the wild cherry flavor that is turning me off; I prefer other “red” teas more - berry blues, berry blast, wild strawberry, raspberry.
Since it is getting hot. This automatically gets 5 stars because it is amazing cold brewed. It's little more tart so think blackberry spectrum for taste. This would actually be a great base for mimosas and would help to reduce the calories so a double win.
I am a fan of all of Adagio's fruit blends and this one is no exception! I cold brewed this one overnight and it was wonderful. I added a little sugar but honestly, it probably would be sweet enough without it. There was a hint of tart, but only a hint, maybe due to the sugar I added. This one is definitely a keeper for iced tea this summer!
I cold brewed this CT tea overnight with 8 ounces of water and found it to be a delicious fruity, tart iced tea in the morning. I added no sweetener.
I honestly regret letting my son have this one! I took my sip and it was so full of flavor! If I ever come across this one again, I’d love to try it cold brewed. It was also nice that the lemongrass didn’t come through for me. 😅
This tea smells delightful and has a sweetness to the sip which balances out its hibiscus/rose hip tartness. Even with the lemongrass, I find this one of the Adagio's fruit herbals which tastes least like lemonade. There is a slight sourness lingering in the aftertaste, but it doesn't require sweetner and it doesn't ruin the experience of this complex and enjoyable, light and fruity tea. Brew for at least 7 mins and consider more than one tsp per 8 oz to get a richer tea experience.
Fruit Medley is fruity, tart, and refreshing. Very nice cold on a hot day.
This tea smells heavenly when you open the packet and it steeps into a lovely deep red color. It has a sweet fruity taste. Scrumptious desert tea!
So much flavor! This tea is sweet without tasting like sugar and is excellent iced
Delicious moderate fruity flavor! Not just berries, this tea has a variety of delicious flavors to savor. Wonderful for iced tea in the summer.
Bold berry flavor with a smooth fruity finish. Enjoyed drinking it.
This tea with honey is the BEST! Has all of these wonderful fruit flavors for your palate!
Purchased this for my mom and she loves it! She talks about ordering more of this every time she orders from this website.
My favorite fruit herbal tea ever!! One, the color is beautiful. Two, it’s super refreshing. Three, you can taste every note!
Love this fruit blend! It doesn’t get quite as heavy as some of the other fruits blends offered, and has a lovey zip!
Wonderful blend of berries, just perfect with some Splenda. Nic tea iced or hot!
Not bad, a little bland, should be more flavorful.
It’s a tart tea by itself, but when you add it with a sweet and nutty tea blend, it’s quite nice with desserts!
I like the tea when I don't want the tea with the spices
This berry tea is very strong and potent. I like it blended with lemongrass or lemon rooibos cloud.
Another great selection for summer/iced sweet tea. Fruity, tart and perfect with some sweetener
The hibiscus and rosehips are dominant flavors in this tea, and they bring with them a lot of tartness that I cut with sweetener. However, the other fruity notes add interest, and I enjoy how it all comes together. My husband enjoys this tea and often requests it at in the evening.
Smells divine. I'm beginning to realize that I'm not a big fan of sour things including tea, so I've needed to water this down a lot. Probably not something I'll buy again, but if you love fruit teas this may be right up your alley.
This tea has a tart, dry mouth feel from the prominent hibiscus and rose hips. The primary fruit flavors are cherry and strawberries. These are mild and soothing when hot and more prominent when prepared as an iced beverage.
You’ll can’t go wrong with this versatile fruit blend . A tisane as satisfying as a berry dessert.
I loved the hibiscus and strawberry combination in this tea. The tartness of the hibiscus combined with sweet strawberry was delicious with a touch of sweetener. Great blend.
Great aroma, better to drink cold. Not too overwhelming.
Yummy!!! 5 star winner, one one my afternoon flavors.
Absolutely my favorite tea so far. Lots of fruity tastes with every sip.
This is one of the first teas from adagio I tried (purchased by my lab head and left in the break room) and I've been a fan ever since. As far as fruit teas go, this one really is the best all-rounder: not too strongly scented, not too sour, not too mild. This is always my back up when I just can't decide on which I want.
I drink this daily, it wasn’t my favorite before but I grew to love it
Love the fruity flavors 😋 nice and fresh tasting!
Very good! The mix of berries blends well with the citrus and apple pieces. The overall taste pleasant and is very yummy hot or cold.
Fruit medley is just tangy enough to make a great cup of iced tea during hot summer days. However, I drink this tea iced all year round. The combination of fruits is great! Friends always compliment me on my iced tea! This is my absolutely favorite iced tea flavor!
