This is going to be an odd review, but my reaction when I tried this tea(warm, not iced yet) was 'oh thank god, this is great!' I've tried honeybush vanilla before, and couldn't even finish a cup because of the weird taste. Since I tend to like rooibus teas, though, I figured I would try again with a honeybush before I wrote them off as something I didn't like, and I am quite glad that I did!
The taste of this tea was ok, but the aftertaste was unpleasant.
The taste of this tea was great, but the aftertaste was unpleasant. I ended up having to mix this tea with some of the others to make the aftertaste bearable.
I really like this tea. I often blend it with Honeybush Vanilla and love the mix.
I served it iced for dinner. It was great even unsweetened!
This was my first time trying honeybush. It's definitely quite sweet, although not as quite as light as I thought it was going to be. I would try again when I am wanting something caffeine free.
I got this as a free sample choosen by Adagio. It wasn't something I would have picked out on my own because I hated the other honeybush I've had. I iced it. It wasn't bad. I was afraid it would taste like tobacco, which is what my last honeybush experience was like. The apricot flavor is nice. Overall, it was a lot subtler than I expected.
Not a bad tea but just not one of my favorites. Would mix well with a peach tea.
This is different and I am glad I got it as a sample, but I prefer peach and mango in my Roiboos teas. I think they just complement the eartHines better. It could be a really good blend though.
This was a nice gently sweet tea, with a fruitiness that wasn't overwhelming and went well with the spiciness of the honeybush. The honeybush balanced out the fruity taste, keeping it from getting cloying like other apricots usually can.
this has been my favorite decaf tea from this place so far
Honeybush apricot is now one of my very favorites. These are sweet and delicious and fill the air with a lovely aroma. I will get this one again. Update: I still love this great tea. It's something that I will keep around for those special moments.
Very good flavor, very sweet and fresh on its own. Good both hot and iced.
Well balanced light apricot flavor. Very uplifting.
Light taste of apricot that balances well with the flavor of the tea. Very nice!
A very sweet tea without adding much sweetener. Definitely takes a little getting used to.
It was fine, but did not taste the apricot at all. Very strong apple taste. Probably won't order it again.
This tea has a nice flavor, and I certainly wouldn't turn down a cup of it if offered. However, it doesn't really stand out. There's nothing particularly <I>special</I> about it. It's a nice tea, though, and a pleasant cup for a rainy afternoon.
This tea has a light taste. The apricot is so aromatic and delicious.
This was the first time I tried honeybush teas. I could not get into it. It was not bad but so many others teas were way better.
very unique flavor - good for cold mornings to drink
This was a new one for us as we loved the Mango Honeybush. The apricot flavor is terrific, very fruity! This will definitely be one of our favorites, absolutely. We drink most of our teas iced but it is good hot also, with sugar.
Oh man this one just smells so incredible. I really just wish it tasted as flavorful as it smelled. I definitely liked it though. I'll be purchasing more when my sample runs out.
Oh, btw you will definitely need a great tea strainer for this one if you don't like the leaves creeping into the tea. Most of them were tiny, and I felt like I ended up with more leaves in the cup than in the strainer. Still yummy - just a little annoying.
I bought this tea to help smooth out the taste of a black apricot tea I bought from another vendor. It does the job wonderfully! I haven't tried it yet on its own, but I expect it's delicious.
This tea is just OK. I don't taste the apricot at all. Little disappointed. I would of put bad just for the lack of apricot taste but its not a bad tasting tea.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to order apricot tea but am I glad I did. The honeybush mixed with apricot has made this tea one of my top favorites. I cant get enough. It's fabulous.
Awesome Blend!! Great Tea!! Nice For Relaxing After Work!!!
my new favorite - I love honeybush tea and the apricot flavor mixed with it is a great pairing.
The aroma is so fruity, you just want to drink more!
This tea is pretty great. Sweet, dry, and well-rounded. I wish it was caffeinated, though.
This has become one of my favorite teas lately. Even though it's winter, I still appreciate the fruitiness this provides.
Love it. Nice herbal tea, subtle favor of apricot
Especially enjoy it mixed with chocolate and almond or hazelnut.
Very fruity! Great smell and light to drink. Will definitely try this again. very little sugar needed!
Another new favorite. Since all my favorite greens were out I went exploring into the world of rooibos teas LOVE this tea!
It's caffeine free, but lacking in flavor. I steeped for 15 minutes. Still not flavorful enough.
its has a very nutty taste the apricot is not very strong it has a very earthy feel with a nice aroma
Very good and definitely different. I save this for special occasions because I like the flavor.
I got this one sent to me as a free sample and I am glad I did. It was just what I needed for my mornings before school. Fruity and sweet.
This tea smells so promising, and it could be good if I used about 3-4 tea bags for each cup. It just isn't strong enough.
This tea was very enjoyable, it was refreshing and not too fruity
This tea smells amazing, and it tastes just as good. I do wish there were just a bit more apricot flavor, but as it is, it provides a nice, dry finish for the smoothness of the honeybush.
I am really liking the honeybush teas! This one was especially nice blended with the rooibus vanilla chai.
Really good tea. Natural sweet flavor. Good evening drink.
I myself have never been a honeybush fan but my Son really seems to love it :0)
This is a solid iced tea and hot tea. It's very good with a little bit of sweetener in it. If you serve it as iced tea, try putting frozen peach slices in it instead of ice cubs!
This is my favorite ice tea! It is sweet and light. Needs no sugar.
Like almost all honeybush teas, the primary scent is that of wood. There's a light, sweet smell underneath, but I think one would be hard-pressed to attribute it to any specific fruit/flower. The flavor itself is very light, and sweet, with a woody followup. Delicious and refreshing, probably best not too use for blending owing to being so mild.
One of my favorites. I definitely will be ordering this one again.
Honeybush apricot was good hot or iced. When hot, I liked it with steamed soymilk (unsweetened) and a tsp of raw sugar. When iced, I actually enjoyed it with no sugar or milk at all.
