Love how the apricot and honeybush flavors combine!
Since I had to give up tea rooibos has been my go-to drink and this one is delightful. Light and fruity. I like it hot or cold.
I love this tea. It has a strong apricot flavor and the honey bush just adds to it. One of my favorites.
I like this tea. I think the apricot flavor goes well with the honeybush. It's good hot and iced.
Such lovely flavors of the honeybush & apricots. Remind me of long ago memories of fresh apricots from my grandma's tree.
Light and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Tastes like apricots and honey. I like this iced or hot.
Very fruity and a nice summer flavor chilled or hot.
This was not bad but the apricot was not very prominent and the honey bush was playing second fiddle. I would stick with the original honeybush tea if you are looking for some find sweet and floral.
Really like this tisane. Lovely flavor of apricot that goes well with the already warm and slightly sweet flavor of the honeybush. Will buy more.
This honeybush is slightly too sweet. I added a touch of oat milk to cut the sweetness.
I really enjoy this tea sweetened and with some vanilla creamer. With no caffeine, it's a great anytime tea.
Very refreshing sip! Light apricot flavor. Enjoyable afternoon treat.
This one is a house favorite! The apricot flavor is strong without an overly strong medicinal flavor that you can get with some of the herbal blends.
I bought the sample pack, and really enjoyed this tea a lot. Will repeat buy next time.
This is a delicious tea. If I m drinking it in the late afternoon or evening I like to add in some chamomile @adagioteas
Thank goodness CommuniTEA was a honeybush type today: I poured boiling water over the tea and then got too busy and/or distracted to check on it until nearly 45min later! I took a sip and, except for understandably being a bit cool, this was perfectly fine with a light sweetness. Apricot was certainly there, perhaps even made more flavorful by the accidental oversteep? While I’m thankful honeybush is clearly a forgiving base and caffeine-free to be enjoyed at any hour, there’s still the odd wooden aftertaste typical of my experience with honeybush that comes out behind the apricot. The finish of a honeybush tea for me is like negotiating a last bit of flavor from the stick part of a popsicle.
I've tried other apricot teas from this site and found nearly all of them to be more true to the name than this. It's alright but not spectacular.
The more honeybush teas I drink the more I love them, I like the nutty flavor and it is especially good with the apricot. Adagios apricot flavor is delicious across the board.
This tea is delicious! It's sweet and tastes more like peach juice than tea, no bitterness or astringency at all. It's fragrant and the apricot flavour comes through really nicely
Yet another Honeybush that Adagio has convinced me that I like.
Today's communiTea packet is honeybush apricot with honeybush tea, apple pieces, apricot flavor, apricots and marigold flowers. Fresh out of the packet, it smelled very fruity, with little honeybush scent evident, which I appreciated. In drinking it, the honey bush was more noticible, but still not over powering. Steeped in 12 ounces of 205 degree water for 3 minutes.
The delicate apricot flavor pairs well with the honeybush in this blend. I added a bit of sweetener and it made a nice refreshing cup. I really enjoyed it, and with no caffeine, made a good evening tea.
Pretty good apricot blend, not too synthetic tasting. I personally don’t taste much of the honey bush base.
The apricot with the honey bush made for a sweet combo. Smooth, good afternoon blend for a cold day
Honeybush tea is not my favorite, but Adagio must have a corner on good honeybush! The woody, nutty flavor of the honeybush combines well with apricot, and did I mention, I love apricot? Just a tiny bit of pure cane sugar adds a whole new dimension to this great tea! 5 stars and pinkies up!
Honeybush, I apologize for putting you in the same bucket as your cousin, rooibos. You prove that each member of the family can be unique and different. Paired with apricot, you were a perfect fruity, slightly sweet afternoon treat.
Lovely apricot aroma hits me as I open my packet. When hot, mild apricot and honey flavors make this a slightly sweet and smooth concoction. I did add just a wee bit of honey to brighten up the apricot flavor. Nice caffeine free treat for the evening. It was also good cold. Steeped 212° for 7 mins. Cheers!
Delectable tasting tea!!! Sweet yet soft, making it great to enjoy at any moment in the day!
This tea is sweet and fruity, not medicinal like rooibos peach. I feel like I can taste the apricot peel in this one with a soft finish. I would appreciate a stronger flavor, I find this one a bit weak compared to the underlying honeybush. It's pretty good, just not one of my favorites.
nice scent and I love apricots so winning combination.
Delicious blend, slightly sweet with apricot flavor. No caffeine makes this a great evening sip on a cold night.
Fruity, comforting, and delicious! This tea is a great decaf blend.
Great tea love the taste and it smell great (212 @ 5 min)
Not my favorite of adagios honeybush or apricot, however, ignoring comparisons, this was a good tea. I always appreciate a caffeine free option, and it’s also nice to not need to worry about over steeping! A good forgiving tea for an end of day scatterbrain!
Pretty good tea! I wis I tasted the apricot more, but then again, CommuniTEA packets don't always have the fruit.
This tea is good. Strong fruity flavor with a nice warmth from the honeybush. Apricot isn't my favorite fruity flavor so not a five star from me but definitely a pleasant tea to drink in the afternoon.
A nice cup of honeybush tea, with notes of apricot throughout the blend. It's refreshing, and can be enjoyed regardless of the time of day.
I have enjoyed the apricot flavor in black and green teas. I have waited all day to try this tea because it is caffeine free. The apricot is so bright and flavorful and pairs well with the honeybush. I think this might be my fav of the apricot teas !
I love this tea! It's included in several of my favorite custom blends, but it also works quite well on its own. The honeybush flavor does a good job of supporting the apricot flavor without either one overwhelming the other. A very delicious fruity tea!
A very nice sweet herbal. Honey, herbal, a little touch of apricot tang.
An absolutely delicious tea with the perfect amount of apricot flavor.
It had a strong apricot scent in the pouch and I was so excited to try it!! I used water below boiling like usual, but I left it definitely longer than 5 minutes, but I'm not sure how long. I used some sugar to bring out the apricot flavor and it was absolutely delicious!! It had an after flavor that I could only compare to the taste of grass jelly, so it was scrumptious and nostalgic!! A win-win!! One of my new favorites, can't wait to get a 3oz pouch of this!!
Nov,5,2021: I tried it hot this time. Indeed the flavor was stronger. Still doesn't require much sugar. Flavor reminded me of apricot jam.
Nov,4,2020: A good basic tea. I do like honeybush & rooibos. Barely needs sugar, if anything I accidentally added too much sugar. I opted to try it iced. Though it made a nice iced tea, the flavor probably would've been stronger hot.
This was a very flavorful cup. The apricot really came through and you could see many pieces in my packet as well. This one didn't need as much sugar so I might have put a little too much for my cup but I still really enjoyed it.
Enjoyable herbal. Slightly fruity. Very smooth. Easy to drink. Lovely. Fruit flavor holds up in additional brewing if brewing gongfu style, however this tisane's flavor is best with first brew. The complete combination of the blend dissipates quickly after that initial brewing. Thoroughly was surprised at how much I liked this herbal blend.
The apricot aroma is strong with this one! Not as strongly flavored as some other teas I've tried, but it's a nice, mild, soothing tea. I sweetened with a dollop of honey (regular clover honey) and felt it brought out the woodiness of the rooibos. Not something I'd reach for on my own, but if given would be content with. 6/10
I Love honeybush teas, I've been looking forward to trying this one with apricot. It did not disappoint!
Reviewer Eleanor Justice says of this tea: '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 couldn't agree more. It's a lovely tea with a strong apricot-forward flavor. Tastes true to the real thing, like eating a bite of apricot. Not sweet (which is a huge plus for me), and doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. A faithful, reliable tea.
Very mild flavors in this blend, both the rooibos and the apricot. It was drinkable but left me feeling like I still needed to brew something else to be my 'morning tea'
Herbal teas fall into a completely different category for me. I do not enjoy sipping and lingering over a nice hot cup of herbal. I much prefer them iced and swallowed down to quench thirst. I brewed this hot and did not enjoy (as predicted). Let it sit awhile to get cold and I liked it much better I did not see or taste the marigold but the apricot came through nicely
