I love to cold brew this honey bush. So delicious.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

It’s good but i just don’t think im a fan of apricot flavor

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

No, this wasn't for me. It isn't as tart as the blood orange, but still too tart for me. Maybe I just don't like the fruity ones.

This is a light, smooth and slightly fruity honeybush tea. I will buy yhis one again for evening enjoyment.

I have enjoyed the light but flavorful tea. My granddaughters enjoy it with me also as it has no caffeine and is not to strong

★★★★★

Nice and light honeybush flavor complimented perfectly with enough apricot to leave coming back for more.

Delicious! The blend has sweet apricot notes and is delicious alone or with honey

This is a nice, fruity but easy to drink tea. I can pick up all the flavors listed. The apricot is a jam flavor to my taste. I also like that it's caffeine free. I haven't tried this iced but imagine it would be good.

This tea is lovely. It's great both hot and iced. It's light and refreshing and cozy.

★★★★★

I’m not always a fan of honeybush as I find it a little bland and sweet by itself, but I loved it with the apricot. Sometimes I find the flavors in flavored black tea is overpowered by the black tea. Fortunately this is not a problem with the honeybush apricot - it has a really lovely apricot flavor.

This tea is so delicious. It has a bright sunny flavor that is not overpowering. It may sound funny but it is a tea that makes you feel cheerful. It is always nice to have a tea that is not overpowering in taste but still has great flavor.

★★★★★

Great aroma and taste. I like to add a pinch of this to any black tea for some extra flavour.

While I love honeybush tea, this was lacking; it almost had a chemical taste to the tea. Was disappointed was the first tea I did not enjoy.

★★★★★

The packet has a nice apricot aroma. I cold brewed it overnight and it has a wonderful apricot flavored smooth tea.

We do already love Adagio honeybush teas, so it is not a surprise that we love this one. This has a good apricot flavor and not sour at all.

★★★★★

I wish Adagio would use more honeybush as a base; it allows the apricot to shine. It's refreshing both hot and ice. No sugar necessary, but a dollop of honey wouldn't be out of place!

★★★★★

UPDATE: This is one of my favorite teas to cook with. I just absolutely adore Honeybush Apricot.

Wow! I knew I was going to like this one, but I didn't know just how much I was going to like it! I'm def going to be ordering some! This just may become my new nighttime tea - once my order of it arrives! Just SO delicious!

Light refreshing honeybush with subtle apricot notes are great for iced tea. I steeped for 6 minutes, let cool, then added some ice on a warm spring day. Yum!.

★★★★★

Super smooth and sweet!
This one has a definite apricot taste, that blends so smoothly with the Honeybush. No sweetener necessary

★★★★☆

This apricot tea was pretty tasty (just don't oversteep it!)

The only thing I didn't care for was the stronger than expected peach flavor. Otherwise, the apricot and honey bush tea flavor is really nice and refreshing :)

★★★★★

Great flavor without any bitterness. I didn’t expect to taste as much apricot as I did.

It's ok! Sweet and fruity...honeybush is good, the apricot flavor just didn't wow me. I wish it stood ou5 more as apricot. That said, perfectly good tea. Interested to try as a cold brew!

Before Adagio, I had never heard of a honeybush tea and now it's one of my favorites, especially for iced teas. This blend is no exception!

'It doesn't taste like shampoo!' -- this short review borrowed from my mom. I enjoyed this more than I usually enjoy herbal teas. The honey/ sweet note was subtle enough not to distract, and the apple and peach build quietly in the background to get the flavor of stone fruit in there-- apricot flavor is so ephemeral, this does a great job of bringing your mind there.

I like fruity teas so this is a winner for me. Needed nothing added because I wanted to enjoy the subtle apricot flavor.

Honeybush apricot has a delicious apricot flavor. I've found that even though rooibos and honeybush come from the same plant, they usually taste different. This tea tasted more rooibos, which was fine with a long seep.

A lovely drinkable fruity tea to have with breakfast. No weird aftertaste that I get with cherry flavored things. Great.

Communitea Jan. Solid flavored herbal tea. The apricot flavor gives a nice fruit finish without being too overpowering.

Honeybush and apricot go together so well! A delicately sweet flavor which really replicates the apricot.

I'm not usually an herbal tea fan, but this is unique and different. The slight honey taste and warmth and depth of the apricot is a perfect combination. It's nice that it's caffeine-free, so it can be enjoyed any time of the day or evening.

One of my fave honeybush teas. Clear taste and aroma of sweet apricots.
I take 2 tsp on 3/4litre water, that is still boiling. Have not found anyone yet, who does not like my honeybush tea.

Decent flavor. I feel like Apricot for some reason is a hard flavor to nail. But really, a lot of the honeybush teas on this site are a go-to.

This would make an amazing summer iced tea! It's light and fresh and naturally fragrant and sweet. I feel it's similar in feel to the Honeybush Mango, in terms of the body. Refreshing and not overpowering. Perfect with lemon cookies! It's my go-to summer tea!

★★★★★

A nice simple, apricot forward sip, so nice to have this as a late night treat, honeybush is nice and not overpowering.

It wasn't great nor bad. Smelled better than it tasted but not one that I'd purchase.

★★★★★

Todays tea had a nice apricot flavor. It has an odd aftertaste though. I enjoyed this more this time.

I like roobios so it's gotta be the apricot which is not hitting a home run for me. I tend to struggle with apricot and peach flavors because they taste to me like overripe fruit when heated. I might like it better cold though. I'll have to give that a try next time I run into this flavor.

Oh, help! I didn't look at other reviews before trying this tea. I wasn't perhaps expecting to like it because of the apricot... I should NOT have put honey in it! It's a very sweet tea and definitely tastes of apricot. It might be a decent apricot tea if you don't try to ruin it so I'm going to give it 4 stars because it seems to live up to its name and I clearly failed this one... CommuniTea 9 Jan 2024

Not my cup of tea. Little apricot flavor. Not something I want to drink again.

Honeybush is such a unique tea, and adding apricot to it makes for a fruity, refreshing experience. I'd love to try this iced.

★★★★★

This tea tastes great. The apricot is the perfect amount and not too sweet. This tea was even good after I let some of it sit for a while. The cool sip made me think this would make a great iced tea option.

Absolutely delicious! Apricot is my favorite flavor in tea. When I opened my little bag I could smell the scent immediately it was fruity and strong and the flavor is just perfect. I only wish I had more!

Honeybush Apricot is a mellow, naturally sweet tea with floral notes. The tea is smooth tasting with a very light hint of apricot that is very subtle but tasty. A delicate tea that doesn’t overwhelm your taste buds. I actually liked it better once it cooled off. The light taste was lost a bit more when served hot. The tea is a light honey color and is perfectly sweet on its own without adding additional sweetness.

Strong apricot aroma coming from my packet as I opened it. Once brewed, you get moderate apricot flavor combined with the light roasted, honey-like flavor and woody and nutty notes of the honeybush. A light floral aroma coming from the marigold completes the experience. It is smooth, mellow, and sweet.

This might be my new favorite decaf. The apricot flavor is subtle enough that it doesn't overwhelm. Pairs well with the honeybush. Rich and fruity at the same time.
