This smelled very fruity out of the packet. I’ve had this tea before from the iced tea pouches so I brewed it hot this time and added honey. It had a light but peachy flavor. I could detect a little citrus but the strawberry was too subtle for me to notice. Then I iced it. I enjoyed this both hot and cold. This is one of my most favorite green Rooibos teas.
This tea is absolutely delicious! The strawberry, orange, and peach flavors blend together so nicely and compliment the green rooibos well. I will definitely order this in the future! It is a perfect tea for summer!
I enjoy green rooibos and I think it's the right base for these flavours. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the tropical or peachy teas. I could only barely tell there was any strawberry flavour to this tea and would have liked a little more. The peach wasn't overbearing, it's just one of my least favourite flavours. But peach fans will appreciate this one. Steeped 5 min @ 195ª.
I’m a fan of this tea The aroma the taste as my house smelling so good this is another one of my absolute favorites that will be definitely also added to the list I just love all of the flavors in this tea I gave it a nine out of 10
In the bag: Similar to the Adagio photo, but with fewer marigold flowers.
On the nose (pre-steep): Scent is a cross between fresh hay and light tropical fruits. I can pick oranges out of the bunch. Just a touch of sugar.
On the nose (post-steep): Similar to the pre-steep scent, but with less fruit.
On the tongue (pre-sweetener): Orange and peach are the main players. That fresh hay flavor has retreated to the background. A bit of natural sweetness. No bitterness.
On the tongue (post-sweetener): Sweetener bring out the fruit, especially on the front of my tongue. The hay is now a light accent primarily along the sides and back of my tongue.
Opinion: A pleasant tea once sweetener has joined the mix. I appreciate that the fruit made it through steeping to the tongue. I’m not sure the fresh hay of green rooibos is the best paring for citrus fruits, however.
Preparation: First steep 5 min, second steep 10 min. Both @ 212 ℉. ½ teaspoon monk fruit sweetener.
I love the fruit blend. Something about the combination makes it so light. It was a nice and mellow kind of sweet.
8/5/23 CT update - the tea today was not as flavorful as the last time. Perhaps just packet mix.
A nice fruity tea. The orange aroma was most prevalent when I opened the CT packet. When brewed that remained do. A hint of the peach came through when warm. 3 g 12 oz for 5 minutes.
August 2023: The perfect summer evening tea! This one is definitely a favorite!
First Review: A refreshing, light, and fruity tea! The fruits blend together well. I love that it is also decaf!!!
10 oz, 5 mins @ 212* F, divided. Sweetener in both, cream in hot.
Hot
While I mostly noticed the orange and the rooibos, the strawberry and peach were in the background. It was quite a delicious sip and it was gone before I realized it. I can definitely see myself blending with this one for lower caffeinated options.
Cold
No cream, the orange is even more pronounced than it was hot, I can still taste the peach and strawberry - faintly. Regardless, it’s a very nice cup. I'm not sure which I prefer - hot or cold - its good both ways.
It's pretty good, but the fruit flavoring muddles together. I would have loved the fruits flavoring to be stronger and more easily discernible.
I had bought the herbal sampler, which is how I discovered this tea. The
sweet fruity taste definitely makes this a good choice as a dessert or an iced tea.
Update 7/17/23: I still have a bunch of this left that I haven't used in a while. This was one of those great in a sampler but not in a separate purchase.
Smooth fruity flavors. My favorite for making summer ice tea. I get this frequently and make it almost every day.
Fruity and light and free of caffeine. Good cold or hot with a little sweetener. Have tried this one cold with ginger ale at double strength for a different cold drink.
This has a pleasant light fruity flavor. The rooibos adds a subtle nutty flavor which I didn't love as much, but I don't love rooibos, so if you do, this tea will be great!
I love my green rooibos teas, and the Bonita does not disappoint. The flavors are even more enhanced when this tea cools to room temperature. Will be trying it iced.
This flavored rooibos is a hit! Wonderful iced on a hot summer day. Try it hot, mixed with a jasmine green for a truly divine cup.
We love this tea iced! My husband likes to make sun tea and this is his favorite to make. We also sometimes mix it with plain rooibos if we want a slightly stronger flavor. This has a light fruity and summery flavor. It is very refreshing and thirst-quenching when sweetened. Yummy!
Love this as an alternative to regular Rooibos in the afternoon. Always steep my Rooibos a little longer and hotter and add some honey. Ordering more today!
I love this tea iced or hot. The strawberry really comes out in this. Adagio is discontinuing the iced tea so I decided to buy the loose leaf so I can still make iced tea
An overall nice, gentle herbal tea with a citrus taste that has subtle notes of berries. Only good for flavor with one or two steepings.
I have been hit of miss on liking Rooibos teas and this one hit the mark. I loved the smell and the flavor.
I love this at night. No caffeine. Cold brew was also very good. This will make a nice summer tea
Loved it, great flavor taste and good value quality
i really prefer green rooibos to red, and this doesn't Need any sweetener but if you're having sweet cravings brew it hot add your sweetener of choice and have it over ice. it's so good, especially late at night or if you're limiting/avoiding caffeine
I've always really enjoyed rooibos teas. Has a great flavor profile and can drink later in the day without worrying about whether caffeine keeping you up at night since there is no caffeine. I really enjoy it paired with the strawberries, peaches and citrus.
This tea is fruity and delicious! Also no caffeine is a definite plus
this was my favorite of all the samples i tasted this time. very tangy taste. this blend is very fruity!
Delicious and perfect for those rainy days where I still have to get up for work! Helps pass the time a lot easier having a tasty tea on the side!
This tea is absolutely delicious. Will definitely purchase again.
The closest substitute I could find for Teavana's Rooibos Tropica!! I drink it with jasmine pearls and it's perfect.
Lovely, unique take on Rooibos. This will make a great gift!
I've decided I am not a green tea drinker but please give it a try. The flavor is deep and a slight bit of sweetener enhances the flavor.
Strong fruit flavors, primarily citrus and peach. Tastes good hot or cold.
Great 'Summery' taste! I like to drink it both hot and as an ice tea. It's even better with honey added.
Absolutely one of my favorites. Very fruity with a big hit of coconut. Incredibly summery but I drink it year round. I'm thinking of mixing this with Bella Luna to boost the coconut flavor.
Pretty good considering I'm not a huge rooibos fan but the green gives it a different flavor. A nice tropical fruit flavor. I will def be brewing this as a cold refreshing tea
Love this tea. I use a plum syrup to sweeten it and it’s great. This is one my favs and I buy this on regular basis.
I was looking for a way to get the Tree House Rocket Fuel loose leaf and this comes kind of close. (I think it's missing the blueberry element?) But quite good if you got addicted to the Rocket Fuel and are trying to find a good loose leaf version.
Tropical, sweet and delicious. The pineapple really steals the show on this one.
A bit too strong and fruity for me but I always like a caffeine free option. This was nice but not a rebuy.
A nice fruity tasting tea that I can drink anytime. I liked this hot soI decided to try the iced tea.
Smells fantastic opening the packet but I hoped more of the flavors would have pulled through...I even put the infuser back in for another 4-5 minutes. Maybe it is supposed to be light on the palate...I can appreciate that but was hoping for a little more amazement on the taste buds.
I dont like rooibos, or strawberries. That being said, this was actually a really nice tea as neither of those flavors were particularly loud!
This is such a light, refreshing fruity tea blend! I could taste the peach, strawberry and orange coming through all at different times. I enjoyed this cold brewed and poured over ice in my to-go tumbler all day. It was very refreshing on this 100+ degree day! I usually don't steep teas with this high temperature, but for this one I steeped for 5 min@212 to make sure to get the best side of the green rooibos. This is a great blend I try to keep on hand!
I am a fan of this tea! It’s light and mildly fruity. Green rooibos is much better than red rooibos in my opinion.
This is a fruity blend, and light - the various flavours don't particularly stand out on their own. Instead, they make a nice mix together.
Peach is the strongest flavor that comes through for me. I like the flavor combinations and find this tea plenty sweet on its own. (212F for 5min)
Not usually a rooibos fan but this is quite good. Get lots of peach and barely any medicinal flavor I find in several rooibos teas. Yeah, call me surprised but I may just get this again. Great job Adagio.
This was delicious cold brewed and served over ice. It had a delicious tropical taste with a lovely rooibos finish.
I usually don't like rooibos so I was surprised that I didn't DISLIKE this one. It smells lovely. Not a favorite but I would drink it again if it showed up in the communitea
