This tea is hibiscus-prominent and a bit light when brewed for 5 minutes. At 10 minutes, it's more fruity and tart, but spices are still very mild. It really does taste like mulled cider, though, with a nuance of pleasant, subtle spices. I usually like tastes that are a bit stronger in my holiday blends, but this one is nice for winding down at the end of a busy day. It is nice iced, but even more tart. A great substitute for fresh apple cider, but if you're looking for something to brew into your holiday drink, choose one of Adagio's blends with a bit more spice.

I steeped as directed and added brandy to make a hot toddy. This isn't the base I would normally use to make one but it worked ok. I do get a bubblegum/soap taste that is not my favorite.

Today was a pleasant surprise. There was no tartness from the hibiscus, and instead this was a bright and fruity punch.

Oh so orange and cranberry! Nice bits of ginger and cranberry to warm it up. Great in it's own, you could add honey to cut the tart hibiscus.
★★★★★
Tangy and sweet, a delightful treat! Cinnamon is definitely a favorite <3 Would love to have this tea year round! Might have to order some

Tried this as part of Communitea. Usually enjoy rose hip and hibiscus tea but didn't much care for this blend as I found the cinnamon didn't blend well with the tartness.

It's a little strange. Doesn't quite taste like the description, it's sort of a nondescript fruit taste with hints of spice here and there. Still good somehow and I'm sure would taste great spiked.

Todays communiTEA was ok. It's fruity and Christmasy...maybe I just need to work on how I fix it. 🤷🏻♀️ As far as holiday herbal teas go..for now, .I like pomegranate grove much better.

This tea smelled like bubble gum when I opened the packet. Unfortunately, the sweetness didn't transfer into the flavor. It was tart, with some pleasant spice flavors.

It's rather tart from the cranberry and orange, but the spiciness from the ginger balances it out. Perfect tea to sip on a cold winter day!

This tea has a nice combo of flavors. It's good hot, but I imagine it would be good cold too

Great iced, but still deliciously fruity while hot. It’s not on of my favorites year around, but it is for the holidays.

Delicious holiday tea. Spicy and fruity, just the right balance of both. Great hot or cold. Nice lingering mulled cider aftertaste. Really enjoyed this one.

This is my kind of cranberry when it is mixed in with orange. I don't drink so if your into the real hot toddies, have fun.

CommuniTEA Sample: an interesting herbal that didn’t really resonate with me. Lots of apple pieces and hibiscus but not much else. I do have a second packet and will try again and see if the mix is better and steep longer to see if something else comes through.

Very very sweet fruit flavor with a hint of cinnamon on the finish. I wish it were tarter rather than sweeter.
★★★★★
'Yes please' to this tea! A lovely combination of cranberry, orange and cinnamon makes this tea stand out for me as a favorite. Great that it's caffeine free too so I can sip it any time of day!
★★★★★
This is a delightful holiday treat for the no-caffeine crowd. I’m a member and am happy to have this toddy in my life! It’s pretty delicious with notes of orange, cherry, cranberry, ginger and cinnamon creating a lovely sip. It reminds me of mulled cider or spice stuffed oranges. This would be a crowd pleaser at your next holiday party! Happy Sipping!

Sipping along with the CommuniTEA: Yummy spice with fruit from the dry ingredients and packet. Cinnamon, orange, cherry fruit with rose hips from my cup. When I take a sip, I notice cranberry, cherry, and cinnamon with a slightly tart hibiscus finish.

Bringing tartness to the sweet
All balanced with spice

More fruity, but nicely spiced. Hints of cinnamon mixed with Apples and hibiscus. A pleasant Holiday cup. If you are a fan of slightly tart, slightly fruity, slightly spicy this would work for you!

Cozy, fruity, and just a touch of spice! Yuletide Toddy is delicious with just a bit of sugar, or possibly a nip of your favorite whiskey or brandy? The fruit flavor is comforting and not too tart, with flavors of cranberry, apple, and cherry present. Cheers!

I am very fond of the cranberry/orange duo, and this one with the addition of cinnamon spice is delicious. It does take a longer steep time to infuse the full flavor, so don't hesitate to go past five minutes. It is worth it! I actually let it steep 10 minutes at 190 degrees and enjoyed it to the last drop (Truvia added).

I do get that bubblegum smell. For some reason it seems like a fruity, piney flavored drink to me. Different and unique. The piney flavor that I taste definitely gives it that wintertime vibe. The actual blend itself that I have does look different than the picture. Maybe that's why I get the different piney flavor.

Ok, i'm not a fan of wintery drinks, but this right here was quite tasty. I made one for my co-worker with some rock sugar, and he kept sniffing it because it smelled so amazing. I was like autumn in a cup and I really enjoyed the sweet earthy-ess of it.

The flavors in this tea are great! Warming and fruity without being too sweet. The perfect tea for winter nights.

Tis the season for a great cup of spiced tea. The flavor is spicy

The smell is wonderful. I like a little cream with my hot tea. The fruit causes the cream to curdle. Although the smell is wonderful, the taste is not as strong. This tea is okay but Reindeer Fuel is still my holiday go to tea.
