The apricot aroma is very strong and stays strong even after brewing. This tea has a mild sweetness and a pleasant apricot flavor. I enjoyed the tea more as it cooled. This would be great iced tea.
Ripe apricots and smooth flavor of sweet Honeybush from South Africa. Soft, mellow and balanced crispness.

Great fruity flavor rounded out by honeybush. It tastes nice and bright and sweet. Would drink this any time of day.
I love honeybush tea to begin with. Apricots are a great fruit, that remind me of my dad. This tea is the best of both worlds.
Nice mellow cup with a candied apricot flavor, goes well with the natural honeybush sweetness.
Very slight Apricot taste. I just discovered Honeybush teas and drink it at night as it doesn’t keep me up at night.
I'm always looking for tasty decaf options for an evening cup of tea. This Honeybush Apricot fits the bill. A delicious, satisfying cup with just the right amount of juicy apricot flavor. I like to steep a little longer than recommended to get the full flavor of the apricot, but definitely not longer than 10 minutes. It is smooth and slightly sweet all on its own, no additional sweetener needed. A big bonus is that honeybush tea is high in antioxidants. So, sit back, relax, and sip a cup of Honeybush Apricot to unwind at the end of the day - or any time you want, really.
The sea has a nice light apricot taste. I enjoyed it as an evening tea.
Such a nice evening wind down tea. It reminds me of a tea party tea, like in Alice in Wonderland!
The aroma when opening the package was pure apricot. It steeped to a honey color and held the scent. I would have preferred if the actual flavor would have been stronger. The honeybush overpowered the apricot taste. 3.4g 212 for 5 minutes. CT 4/29/23.
I loved the Apricot aroma …that said, I felt it was a little weak in the apricot flavor. It was delicious and sweet with hints of honey. A nice light decaf tea.
I enjoy honeybush teas typically. I brewed this one hot today at 195 and steeped for 3 minutes. The tea from my packet had a very strong apricot flavor, which made me wish I had cold-brewed it. I think that for this one, I would enjoy it even more cold than hot.
Prominent apricot taste that shines richly alongside the naturally sweet honeybush. The two pair so well; juicy, tangy, and with the barest hint of tartness that is swept under the light and bright notes of the honeybush. It goes well on its own, or further brightened by a touch of sweetener of choice, or even with some milk or creamer. Delicious!
Really enjoyed this tea; it was sweet but not overpowering and smelled delicious.
Would drink again.
I love honeybush and I love apricot. It makes a refreshing iced tea and it's a nice bonus that it's caffeine free.
Yummy, fruity herbal! If you like apricot and can tolerate honeybush, definitely give this a try.
the apricot flavor is just a little bit too light but a bit of rock sugar definitely helps bring the flavor out
I truly enjoyed this apricot honeybush tea. The smell was amazing and the taste sublime. I might consider replacing my Decaf Apricot with this when I run out of it! I wish I had held off on sweetener but I added a small squirt of agave nectar to the bottom of my cup before I poured the tea in. I steeped at 212 degrees for 5 minutes.
The honeybush gives a robust base to the apricot flavor. I love that this is decaf for an after dinner treat or iced tea all day long.
A nice, mellow tea, with a light apricot note and hint of sweetness.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fruitiness of this tea, even when unsweetened. I would purchase.
When I opened my CommuniTEA packet, I was met with sweet aromas of apricot. I steeped the tea for about 5 minutes. The honeybush base really compliments the apricot flavor! I much prefer this version than the black tea version of apricot tea as this was sweeter and more pleasant in my opinion.
I enjoyed this tea a LOT! It is light and tasty and I love that it is decaf. Great for a bedtime tea.
I brewed this and drank it iced. It was refreshing with a very mild apricot flavor.
Nice and sweet apricot tea. Honeybush really works well to bring out the apricot. Not and everyday tea but really tasty.
This is a delightfully light and fruity tea, with just enough sweetness to it. I think I'm warming up to honeybush tea because I would definitely order this again!
Yum!! What a Decaf Treat HoneyBush is..with this Apricot flavoring, its wildly scrumptious! A yummy tea to enjoy hot as well as a delish Iced Tea option!
I love apricots, and I absolutely love this tea! It's apricot all the way, from the scent to the first sip to the cool down to the last sip! The honeybush brings a bit more sweetness to it. This tea is also great to blend with other teas, but I'm just fine with it as is!
Normally I’m not a big fan of rooibos, but this tea was in my communitea box so I gave it a try. It smells lovely. I wish I could buy this scent in a candle. The actual flavor is surprisingly mild for how strong of a scent it has. I wish the apricot stood out little more.
The yummy taste of apricot pairs nicely with the Honeybush and makes for a delicious cup especially when you need a decaf cup for a nice night time sipper. I added a little sweetner to mine to bring out the apricot flavor.
Love a good honeybush tea. I'm not crazy about apricot flavour so this one wasn't my favourite, but if you're an apricot fan, I think this is a pretty good iteration.
UPDATED from 11/5/21: This is a wonderful, nutty tea with a lovely apricot flavor. I love most honeybush and rooibos teas, so expectations are high as the CommuniTEA packet opens. All ingredients seem present, even a large marigold pops out! After brewing, the tea color is a deep rusty red, and there is a slight fruity aroma. The honeybush gives the tea a nutty, honey flavor, and I enjoy the full body. The apricot is tart, but the finish is clean. This is lovely, especially after adding ¼ teaspoon sweetener (for 12 oz), which really brings out the sweetness. YUMMY! Zero caffeine, zero calories, this is one to buy. (5 mins @ 212ºF).
In the bag: Almost my entire packet is finely chopped, reddish brown honeybush. A few streaks of yellow from marigolds. Two shriveled pieces of apple.
On the nose (pre-steep): Not surprisingly, apricot is loud and proud. Accent of peach. Sweet undertone. Slightly cloying nose feel.
On the nose (post-steep): Similar to pre-steep, we have apricot with a hint of peach. Not as sweet. Cleaner nose feel.
On the tongue (pre-sweetener): Apricot is a lighter flavor now. It's balanced by the herbaceous woodsy notes of honeybush. The fruit lingers through the aftertaste.
On the tongue (post-sweetener): Apricot and peach are right back out in front. The woodsy flavor has become a mere accent.
Opinion: A super tasty tea! The stone fruits are delicious and make an excellent pairing with honeybush, which provides an interesting contrast without getting in the way. I recommend a touch of sweetener to keep the apricot in the spotlight.
Preparation: First steep 5 min, second steep 10 min. Both @ 212 ℉. ½ teaspoon monk fruit sweetener.
A pleasant herbal tea that is sweet enough to be drunk without anything added to it.
Nice combination of honeybush and apricot—sweet and fruity.
I love all things apricot. Since I don't tolerate black tea well, the Honeybush Apricot is really hitting the spot. So nice any time of the day. Will experiment with icing this one this summer.
This is one of my favorite herbal teas. It has such a wonderful fruity flavor that it doesn't need sweetener. It's my go-to when I'm trying to avoid extra sugar. I like to add honey to most teas and I love that this one doesn't need it to taste delicious. It's also really great iced!
Sweetness with hints of apricot definitely purchasing the full size next time
Caffeine free teas are sometimes needed, and honeybush is delicious in general. This apricot flavored version is quite delicious!
I really like this honeybush tea, it has no caffeine and is sweetly delicious. The apricot is so slight, however, that I barely notice it.
The scent that comes out when you open the bag is amazing. I was disappointed as I couldn't taste apricot at all once it was done steeping. I can only taste honeybush. I still like it but it's not one of my favorites
This was a delightful tea. I really liked it and could taste the apricot flavor. Hard to find an apricot tea that isn’t made with black tea.
Love it! I've never had a honey bush tea before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's really nice. Smells great and very soothing to drink.
The Honeybush varieties are great because they are decaf and provide a huge blast of flavor ! The Apricot is one of my all time favorites !
I’m in love with this one. It’s a perfect cup of tea for the afternoon l. I really enjoy it with the Ginger Peach black flavored tea
This is a solid addition to the honeybush teas. I like the apricot flavor much more than the mango. My wife doesn't enjoy the smell, but I find it appealing.
I'm not that much of a fan of honeybush teas, but the apricot in this does a lot to balance out the flavor.
The most flavorful tea. Fragrant, relaxing and delicious 😋
I had got this for my mother and she really enjoyed it.
I love this tea. I hadn’t tried honeybush before and I really like it. I think I like it even better than rooibos.
This tea smells great but the flavor doesn't quite seem to hold up when mixed with boiling water. Still, a good solid afternoon tea.
