Reviews

★★★★★

This tea is absolutely delicious! It's fragrant and lush and perfect for a fruity evening tea, and even the color is lovely.

★★★★☆

The apricot in this tea is shouty-er than the fruit flavor in the Apricot black tea, but that could a) be considered to its credit, depending on individual tastes, and b) have a lot to do with its being placed on a gentler tea backdrop. So far, I enjoy all the apricot teas from Adagio that I've tried (though none owns my love quite so completely as the beautiful, beautiful Apricot Green).

★★★★★

This is probably my favorite out of all the honeybush teas that Adagio carries. It has a very mild apricot flavor that I enjoy.

★★★★☆

Honey bush tea is a bit sweeter than traditional rooibos, and I found it didn't have the earthy undertones that I love about rooibos. The blend was smooth and well-rounded, and the apricot flavor smelled and tasted delicious, so it was an enjoyable drink. Overall, this would be good for when you feel like a flavorful tea but don't want to consume caffeine.

★★★★★

Love this one alone, and sometimes I mix it with a tiny pinch of honeybush chocolate and rooibos caramel. It's awesome all by itself, though, and it's great when I want a full-bodied tea, but don't really want or need the caffeine. It can take many long steepings, which is another plus.

★★★★★

I have this tea whenever I'm craving something sweet. it always satisfies my sweet tooth. Yum!

★★★★★

I'm so glad I got a free sample of this! It's really tasty.

★★★★★

This is a great tea! Aromatic as well as tasty. I would recommend this.

★★★★☆

Interesting way to add to the honeybush tea with apricot. I liked it a lot better with the apricot versus just plain honeybush.

★★★★★

I LOVE this blend. Got it recently and made it hot as well as iced. Needs very little if any sweetener and is my current favorite Honeybush blend.

★★★★★

Very tasty tea! I tried this iced, and honestly it doesn't even need sweetener. It's light, but still very pleasant. I can smell the apricot, but the fruit flavor isn't as strong as the mango in mango honeybush. Still very nice, and I can't wait to try it in blends!

Poor honeybush apricot. It's such a lovely tea, and it plays so well with others, and I always end up making it when I've just had one of my other favorites (orange, jasmine, Mojo) and I think it's lovely but my socks aren't blown off, because it's so friendly. It's like the golden retriever of teas. It's that nice boy that gets thought of as a friend. It's a really lovely tea that deserves more individual attention than I tend to give it.

I'll say this, though: it really rounds out a fruity blend -- if you're into mad tea science, make sure you've got this little puppy in your toolkit. It really ties the blend together.

A few years ago, I used to eat a mix of dried apricots and dry roasted almonds for breakfast during my commute to work. This tea reminds me of that. Heavy on the apricot.

The apricot isn't overpowering, I thought it was pretty tasty.

If you enjoy the taste of apricot then this is the tea for you! I make iced tea and served it at a luncheon,and everyone enjoyed the light fruity taste!

★★★★☆

Sweet and floral. The fruit flavor becomes more pronounced with a longer steeping time and a little sweetening. oesn't quite have the fresh apricot tang I was hoping for, but I like it nonetheless.

★★★★☆

The apricot is a very nice fruity flavor that complements the rooibos well. This tea is delicious iced, but is served best fresh brewed over ice, because it can pick up flavors and develope a very perfumy (not in a tasty way) flavor easily if left in the fridge.

★★★☆☆

Not my favorite tea, it tasted nothing like how it smelled in the pouch. I may have brewed it incorrectly and will give it a second chance, but I'm glad it was a free sample.

★★★★☆

Lovely fruit flavour. Goes very well with the peach red tea.

★★★★★

A delicious, fruity tea that's great all day! I can't wait to try it iced!

★★★★★

Totally adore this wonderful tea and will be drinking it daily

★★★★★

This tea is amazing. I love the peach with the slightly sweet honeybush flavor. This will become my go to night time tea.

★★★★★

Everyone in my family has tried this, and we all love it. There is the slight problem with the fact that it is so fine and some of the tea somehow always escapes the tea ball...but honestly, it's so good that even having a fine powder of tea at the bottom can't bring it down.

★★★★☆

This has a nice flavor, but a little weak for me, based on using the recommended amount. With a bit more tea I am sure it would taste fine, love the apricot flavor!

★★★★★

I received this as a special offer from Adagio, ive never tried rooibos tea. This tea is delecious, so sweet and fragrant you dont even ned any sweeteners, i used a touch of honey and it was just divine.

Love the taste of this tea. I have never had honeybush tea before this and I am now a huge fan.

All my friends love honeybush apricot, and they are surprised when they discover how healthful it is.

★★★★★

This tea is wonderful and my second favorite so far from Adagio. Its incredibly smooth Hot or Iced and is naturally sweet. I was surprised as to how little sugar it needed. i will be ordering this one on a regular basis. The Rooibos and Honeybush Teas from you guys are great with pastries, chocolate and everything else. there is no caffeine so i can drink it all the time!

If you like sweet teas, you'll love this one. Naturally sweet with just a hint of apricot.

★★★★★

I'm a huge fan of honeybush teas in general, and this apricot-infused one is no exception! It is delightful both hot and iced - as well as mixed in a blend, or all on its own! Delicious!

★★★★★

I love this tea! The apricot flavor blends very well with the honeybush. It's a nice combination for any time of day.

★★★★★

Just what I was hoping it would be. Honeybush in general is my new favorite all around tea.

★★★☆☆

I found this tea to be a bit lacking. It's far from something I'd reorder again and again. I wanted a bit more apricot taste to it, but was disappointed. Order a sample before you commit to a full sized bag.

★★★★★

I tried this on a camping trip, and it was really good. I'm not usually an apricot person but it was pretty good.

★★★★☆

This tea has a sweet taste, not sure if it is quite like apricot but it is still pretty good.

★★★★★

This tea was amazing. Warm and pleasant with a light scent that warmed the cockles of my icy heart. Truly a delight!

★★★★☆

The first time I tried this tea, the scent blew me out of the water. Amazing. But the taste seemed as if I was smacked with a disturbingly silky, almost oily and metallic flavor that tasted neither of apricot nor honeybush. I've played with it since then and I don't know what happened, but I've never been so glad to be wrong. So far it responds well to blending and a little goes a long way. Upon brewing a new single cup now with a 1/2 or so tsp of honey, I can taste the fruit a lot more and though the silkiness remains in the brewed tea aroma, the taste is hardly there. I'm going to keep experimenting with this tea, but it looks like I'm heading in the right direction.

I was not too crazy for this tea at first, but after a second cup I really liked it (probably because I had it in the morning on a Monday and I usually like stronger teas in the morning.) The apricot is not overpowering and I love the floral taste. It is a very light tea with a lot of sweetness to it. It is a great tea to have in the evening (iced or warm). It's a tad weak, but still a good tea.

★★★★★

This is another blend I've received as a free sample and I am SO GLAD I did. This tea is divine- smooth and just sweet enough.

★★★★★

Has the PERFECT amount of apricot flavor without overpowering the floral bouquet of honeybush.

★★★★☆

The apricot is very understated, but certainly a good red tea with the usual earthiness.

★★★★★

so fruity and delicious! sweet, but not too sweet, with lots of apricot flavor.

★★★★★

Light, sweet and tasty with a gentle flowery scent and a good balance of flavors.

★★★☆☆

Honestly, I don't fault the honeybush I just don't think I enjoy the taste of the tea or the flavor. It is not bad, just not my thing.

★★★★★

Love this tea. The apples and apricots really come through. Will try this iced.

★★★★★

Love this tea! It has a very nice, yet subtle flavor. I personally do like the honeybush just a little bit more than the rooibos, though the difference is slight. This tea is nice hot or iced.

★★★★★

This tea is by far the best of the honeybush/rooibos fruit teas. It's mellow, smooth, and not overbearing, but the apricot doesn't get lost in the flavor. It also works well with milk. It's a light tea, though, so it goes great after dinner.

★★★★★

Has to be my new favorite Honeybush tea. So amazing with herbal fruit mixes!

★★★★★

Very good tea. Love that it's already naturally sweet. The apricot taste is lovely. A splash of milk turns it into a dessert.

★★★★★

One of my new favorites! Nice mild, fruity tea. I'm not often a fan of apricots or apricot-flavored things, but this tea is wonderful.
