★★★★☆
Very sweet with a hint of apricot. Good for decaf tea drinkers. Warning on new super-ugly packaging (no more pretty sturdy tins, you have to buy them separately now!)
Ripe apricots and smooth flavor of sweet Honeybush from South Africa. Soft, mellow and balanced crispness.

This was a new tea for me - I had never had a roobio before. Flavor was good, but did not care for the actual type of tea. Maybe I will try another type.
Very smooth, with subtle apricot flavor. At first underwhelming, after a few cups this became my regular evening tea.
I liked this tea much more than the apricot black tea from this site. If you like apricot and you like tea, you won't be disappointed.
I really loved this tea! Great aroma and nice flavor.
A good, though not particularly noteworthy, cup of honeybush tea.
Wow! This my first honeybrush tea and what I didnt know, was, what I was missing. This is incredible! I wish i had tried this sooner, I absolutely love the flavor of this stuff. I can see myself burning through this very quickly as the taste is very addicting. I cant wait to order more and try other flavors. There is no caffeine in this, but I sure am jacked up about this tea. =)
a good tasting roobios, and it does not need much if any sugar to compliment it.
I was searching for decaf tea to make for ice tea. This was great! I was also surprised how good it was hot. My husband likes strong teas, so I brewed it longer and he loved it.
If you are looking for something warm and without caffeine, this is a good choice
Love the flavor of this tea. Great apricot flavor but not too sweet or overwhelming.
I'm not a huge fan of red tea, but this was quite good. I may have been more of a fan if I started with this then moved to other red teas
I love all the Honeybush teas. I drink the decaf teas. I also love mixing the Honeybush with reg. tea to make flavored iced tea.
At first, I found the flavor to be weak. However, with more steeping time, I liked the combination of the citrusy apricot with the mellow notes in the tea. Wouldn't order this again, as I'm not sure I care for honeybush, but I'm glad I tried it. If you like honeybush, you would probably like this one.
Great evening tea... great aroma and nice light taste.
This is a very delicious tea with a hint of sweetness. It is mild and fruity and became immediately one of my favorites.
Tastes like honey, apricot and rooibos. What's not to like?
This is my first introduction to rooibos, and it will definitely have me coming back. The red hue is beautiful when brewed. Sweeten lightly to bring out the more subtle flavors.
A decent cup of tea with a subtle flavor that reminded me of an apricot liquor. Tasted best cold to me. I much prefered the Roobios Mango.
Delicate and lovely. Fruity with a nice sweet tang. Delicious iced.
Love the honeybush varieties but this one especially. It is great added to other teas for a slightly sweetened flavor.
I bought this for my dad because apricots have been his favorite fruit for as long as I remember. His sample came in a tin, so I was able to open it before I gave it to him. It smelled so delicious I immediately ordered more for me. He came to visit yesterday and we sat down with two glasses iced. Superb! Subtly sweet and fruity. Wonderful on a hot summer day.
I ordered this tea for my dad. He makes a quart of iced tea at a time and drinks it throught his work day. He thinks is tea is excellent and highly recommends it!
A good combination. My wife and I like this but favor the Honeybush Mango for a fruit flavored Honeybush.
Classic fruity taste without the overwhelming sweetness. A perfect tea as long as you like rooibos teas.
I am a total fan of all the honeybush flavors. I think it is even nicer than rooibos! This one is very nice and subtle!
I tend to really love most fruit flavored rooibos and honeybush teas. Apricot can be a fairly overpowering flavor (but I mean that in a wonderful way), but I find this reserved use of apricot here to be a well-balanced blend that allows it to blend well with honeybush and they compliment one another quite well. This is comparable to the simple and uncomplicated brew to the other fruit infused blends of rooibos/honeybush available, which all take sweeteners well. Don't expect a big apricot punch or a beverage as complex as (C. sinensis) teas gives you. However, when you want a simple, satisfying after-meal sweet-tea brew (like me with a particular penchant for something sweet, but not heavy, after meals) this one hits the spot..
Very tasty and delightful. Not usually a fan of fruity teas, but I've found I really enjoy all of the ones combined either with honeybush or rooibos.
Awesome, I was afraid the fruity would overpower this blend, but it was proportioned perfectly. Earthy and wonderful, a truly wonderful tea.
Can't beat the great taste! I like to mix some honeybush chocolate in for a taste only matched by honeybush chocolate mango...
Great if you look for some extra-sweet honeybush tea (which I was), not the best if you look for strong apricot notes. I'm very happy with this tea, but then again I am very happy with any honeybush teas - this one definitely earns four stars but is missing the special something for its fifth ...
I'm still going to lean towards black tea, but this is a nice alternative.
This has a different taste and not enough apricot for me. Will try adding more next time. Still an overall good flavor.
It's a good noheubush tea, but the apricont flavor is too weak, at least to my taste. I'd prefer it to be more "apricoty" ;-)
The flavor is good, and it's ok for mixing with other teas but I don't care for it on it's own. That's just a personal preference, nothing wrong with the tea per-se.
I'm not a huge fan of honeybush, but this is definately one of the better ones. If you want to try honeybush out I would go for this one.
First time I try honeybush and I must say I am impressed. Smells apricot, tastes apricot. Excellent !
My friend loved this so much that 1/2 is already gone and I've only made one cup for myself!
I was very pleased with this tea. I have a big sweet tooth but I found after my 2nd cup I didn't need to add sugar at all. It smells great and tastes very greater!
This is one of my favorite evening teas. It has a wonderful , subtle flavor.
Nice smelling tea, but a bit too plain for my tastes. I add a touch of sugar to each cup.
This is a great, before bed tea. I enjoyed the tea alot, but I don't care for the smell. Too artifical smelling.
overall a nice tea. Not fabulous but nice. VERY nice iced... Very easy to drink and high quality. Not my favorite though
I love that I can enjoy this fruity-sweet tea any time of the day, because it doesn't have any caffeine.
This is a slightly sweet mild tea perfect for late-afternoon/evening. The apricot smells and tastes great.
Smells WONDERFUL when brewing, and tastes delicious too. Nice fruity flavor, naturally sweet enough that I did not add anything extra.
My first cup was excellent! I oversweetened it thought by adding the same amount of sugar I add to other teas so be careful - taste first before adding sugar or sweatner! However, when I tried brewing my second cup, it was way too weak. Maybe this tea does not do well with a second brewing. But very good the first time around!
This is one of our all time favorites! Everyone that we have offered it to has loved it!
one of my all-time favs. This is my go-to tea anytime of day. Sweet, smooth, YUMMY.
This tea has a good body to it, not too thick or thin. The aroma matches the boldness of the coffee well.
