Would be great iced. Reminds me of a creamsicle icecream!
Tearing open the CommuniTea packet releases a scent like an orange creamsicle! Steeped a cup in the VelociTEA maker on the 'Herbal' setting (7 mins @ 212ºF). The steeped tisane reveals a pale golden yellow color with a scent like orange, rose, tart apple and a hint of cranberry. The flavor blends a confluence of a sweet orange cream flavor with some tangy tartness from the cranberry and orange soaked apple pieces. Curious what they taste like, I pop a few apple pieces in my mouth. They do taste like an orange creamsicle, except just a little more tart! Washing them down with some tea, I can taste a more concentrated version of this tisane. The mouthfeel is light and smooth, with a light body. Tasting this early in the morning during the witching hour fills me with a warm contentment or 'Hygge'. With no caffeine, it promises to help me drift off and finally achieve slumber. (And provides a midnight apple snack! 😄) This tisane provided a delightful escape with memories of fresh summer fruit on a snowy winter's eve.
Not a big fan of herbals, especially apples. This one was surprisingly good for me. Sweet with a hint of mint. I'm betting this will be excellent cold as well.
When I opened my CommuniTEA Packet, I was surprised to see it filled with apples. I always take out half so when I take my picture I can show the tea made as well as dry. When I scooped out some apples there was a very light dusting of what I believe were mint leaves.
Having the knowledge that apple pieces are used to infuse the flavors into the tea. I was interested on who this would taste. My first sip was very minty. I added in the rest of the apples and let it steep more and then I had more of a fruity mint tea. As it cooled it seemed to lose some of the flavor.
The promise of apples without caffeine was far too temping after midnight, so I just had to dive in after steeping for 7 minutes. Normally I linger to almost 8 minutes, but not under 7 minutes for my herbal blends. I wouldn’t say this makes me think of summer, but it does remind me of Fall in Michigan.
I'm not usually a fan of teas made predominantly with fruit pieces, so I understand that this probably never would be my favorite tea.
And perhaps my CommuniTea packet did not contain a full representation of this tea - the sachet was mostly filled with apple pieces with some flecks of flavoring with a couple dried cranberries, not too far off from the website picture, actually, but not quite what I would expect from an 'enchanting' tisane. I was shocked when the predominant taste coming through was mint, since it seemed like such a small part of the mix, and the orange didn't come through at all for me. I liked the re-brew more than the first brew, probably because the flavor mix that I didn't like was lighter, but even then it wasn't particularly enjoyable. I think the most enjoyable part of this tea was eating the two bits of cranberry after brewing was done (I feel like trying the apple pieces was a big mistake, have noted that I should only do that if I like the taste of the tea taste they've soaked up). So, this definitely wasn't my cup of tea, though it wasn't so terrible that it's likely to keep me up at night.
Wow, got a real winner here! String fruity pebbles vibes, and I love it!!
There is the lovely aroma of mint and orange as the CommuniTea packet is opened. It steeps into a pale golden color with a minty aroma. The flavor is many layered, with a natural sweet creme flavor that keeps the mouthfeel soft. The cranberries and rose hips do not create any bitterness but tickle the tongue on the finish. Light and fruity is the best description of the flavor, as the mint and orange share the cup equally with all the other flavors. It is delicious, and carries me away into a Midsummer Night. It maintains its flavor as it cools, so would be great as an ice tea (if steeped the full time). Drinking this provided a wonderful summer moment on a cold winter day. (5 mins @ 212ºF).
there were alot of apple pieces in this tea, but it was a very well balanced herbal. I enjoyed it. Even though it wouldn't make it to my personal collection, i was pleased to have tried it in the CommuniTea box.
lite and fruity. it really does taste like a summer night especially here in Texas
Didn't like it personally, because it had too much fruit. But that could be a plus for others.
Sweet and smooth and relaxing - perfect tea for a cam summer event.
Lovely light tea to have iced in the summer. It's sweet and fruity, with a light fragrance that has just a hint of mint.
Smells like spiced orange creamsicle.
All flavors come together while drinking
Great tea to have on, well, a summer night. It's great that there's no caffeine to keep me up!
Absolutely amazing. I drink this all night long. And its not even summer.
I was not a fan of this at all. It had a sour taste, and I immediately threw it out.
I would describe this one as 'hot orange water.' It wasn't entirely unpleasant, but not something I'd buy again.
Alright tea; mint and creme flavors are a bit overpowering and artificial. Made as an iced tea.
This is fruity and light and makes a nice refreshing iced tea.
smells cloying when you first open it, but mellows nicely in the cup. a nice fruity... thing.
A very nice herbal tea for summer. It's very light, but the flavors of orange and mint come through, with just a hint of a cream. It's an interesting combination, but it makes for a delicious iced tea! It may not be for everyone though, but if you like spearmint and orange flavors, then you'll like this one!
I never know what to expect to hit me when I open a new sample bag from Adagio. This time, the overwhelming impression on first sniff was that I was about to drink creamsicle-flavored tea. I had my husband smell it, he who loves all things orange cream enough to regularly make himself orange cream slushies at home, and he mentioned a cranberry smell to it under the orange cream without me even needing to mention the ingredients. These three scents definitely come out in the flavor. I couldn't detect any mint in the flavor, though it's possible that's lending more of a cooling feeling rather than a flavor in order to create more of a 'frozen dessert' vibe to the overall concept. My husband who does not drink tea liked it, but said he'd want it to be sweeter than I made it. 5 stars = I really like this one, and could see it joining my repertoire of regular flavors in my pantry.
I like this tea a lot! It is soft. The smell is like a dreamsicle.
Really love this one. Also like to mix it with a little orange tea. Good hot or iced.
this tea reminds me of an orange dreamsicle because it tastes like orange and vanilla
This is my favorite tea. It is uncomplicated, delicious, and calming, just what I need at the end of my day. Whenever I need a treat I put just a tiny bit of sugar to it and it almost brings more of the flavors out.
I tried the loose leaf version but I find that some components go to the bottom and I never get the flavor as perfect as I do when I purchase the tea bags.
Very pleasant evening fruit tea - sweet apple in the forefront, with subtle mint in the background lending a fresh lift.
Nice but didn’t stand quite out to me. I liked it but it didn’t really quite hit me the way I like.
I loved this (sweet and apple-y!) but D said he couldn't taste anything but a vague sweetness, only smell the fruit, and M hasn't made up her mind whether she likes it or not. The scent is even nicer than the flavor, I'll admit, but the flavor is pretty good too!
I bought this because the blend seemed unusual. I made it iced since even summer nights are hot in Texas but it probably would've been better hot.
The longer you steep the better if you drink it iced.
The smell of the tea in package is very strong however when brewed it is very suttle slightly sweet and very refreshing I enjoyed it very much so did my Kiddos they loved it
Another tea with a lot of potential that doesn t have the best execution. I like the idea of it, and the flavors are strong, however, I find that I don t think they flavors actually blend well together. I will say that it does actually evoke summer nights very well.
Instant favorite! I've already added this to my auto-delivery.
Perfect summer tea. Just sweet enough and very soothing
I really enjoy this tea; the smell of it alone is totally tempting! It is filled with so many delights of flavour I have actually stopped putting it in the teaball- I just throw it all in the cup and it's a snack and a hot delicious drink at the same time!
This was a bit of an odd flavor for me. It was a bit minty, a bit citrusy, and a bit some kind of flower? It was good as a cool thing to try but not a flavor combo I would necessarily enjoy often. It did smell really good though.
Out of the bag, it has a really pleasant, smooth oranges and cream scent combined with a hint of mint, and my mind keeps thinking there's just a hint of chocolate in there. It's decent in a hot cup of tea with the flavors you'd expect from the scent - But it really works best as an iced tea, where the citrus and minty flavors really stand out.
This tastes amazing. It’s quite sweet and has a soft tartness on the very back of it.
It's a bit fruity but really delicious! I think it can also be steeped twice.
Refreshing, sweet, and elegant. This summer time tea is good for all day.
Not my cup of tea. While the idea intrigues me, the taste does nothing for me. Will be passing on this. I have discovered I am the traditional tea drinker so if you are expecting something like that then skip this.
I wasn't sure about the mix of mint and orange at first...but one sip sold me on it! The mint is not overpowering and blends nicely with the fruit...with some floral notes in the background. Lovely cup of tea!
On first sip this tea is nice but the more I drink it the less the minty orange flavors come through.
Delicious tea, definitely recommend, will buy again
This tea is amazing. The orange and mint are delicately balanced. We took this on a weekend trip to the beach and this tea works with salt air and campfire.
yummy!! We prefer this one iced!!! It gets better the longer it steeps
Smells like a creamsicle, but it doesn t have a lot of flavor. Not unpleasant, but I couldn t parse much out of this one for all the ingredients that went into it. Tried it both hot and iced.
Very nice tea, ONLY to be enjoyed on summer nights.
