While this brews at 212, I found that I want to wait a bit longer than just waiting for it to cool enough to drink. It needs to cool more than that for the apricot taste to really shine, otherwise it's mostly the honeybush flavor. Once it gets that temperature, there is a lovely base of apricot flavor to the tea, almost like it surrounds the honeybush flavor. All in all, a good nightcap tea for me.
This is a very smooth and fruity blend. I smell the distinctive apricot and honey bush scent before and after brewing. This is a really good cup of tea and if it weren't for tasting the honey bush mango first it would be a favorite. I will probably keep a smaller amount on hand of this tea for variety.
I’m just beginning to explore the world of honeybush teas, and this apricot variety won me over instantly.
This could very well be my new favorite tea, the flavor is amazing, the apricot comes through perfectly without overwhelming the flavor of the tea, and the lack of caffine means I dont have to worry about drinking a mug at 9pm
I love the light sweet flavor of this tea. Perfect.
This tea is a winner! I was so excited to see so many honeybush tea options on this website, as it is one of my favorite teas, along with green rooibos, since these are caffeine free. This blend was so good and make an excellent iced tea. This tea will definitely be a regular tea we order!
Very good apricot flavor. Definitely prefer it as an iced tea latte. It was still decent hot, but iced brought out the apricot flavoring more.
Very good, nice caffeine free tea, nice sweet apricot flavor
I love love love this tea. In the winter I love it hot, and in the summer I like to brew it with vanilla rooibos to make a vanilla apricot iced tea (get lots of complements on this blend).
It was pretty good, although I wish I could get more of the apricot notes.
The apricot smell was lovely and the flavor was light. Perfect afternoon tea with a cookie
The flavor is better than expected, and I can get one phenomenal and one decent steep out of it. My toddler loves this tea, too. I sometimes add a little chili pepper to this tea for a little extra warming and a little extra fun.
Light and fruity. Blends well with mango or peach.
Really enjoy this one! The flavors work well together. May try it iced next!
I love the Honeybush tea for its rich taste and undertones of honey. It balances well with the tangy sweet flavor of dried apricots. I don't need sweetener with this tea. Have only drank it hot, but it would be delicious iced.
Wow. This tea is incredible. Amazing fragrance, full flavor and nice round finish.
Wonderfully fragrant with a creamy vanilla apricot flavor.
Lovely strong apricot flavor. Delightfully bright, is a good before-bed treat.
This one is exactly as promised, honeyed apricot, and in fact, we need to order a larger size.
I love apricot and this tea brings great flavor, fruity and creamy.
These flavors pair together like a magical potion for a happy self!
We got this for my wife. I don't care for apricots so didn't expect to like it for myself. However, I am pleasantly surprised. In combo with honeybush tea, it's really good.
I didn't love this one as much as I hoped I would. The apricot tasted a little artificial to me.
Very tasty, a family favorite here. kids love it! I find that I prefer Honeybush to Rooibos.
I googled honey bush to find out more. Pleased with information.
This is a lovely change from caffeine during these stress filled days.
This came up as the CommuniTEA of the day, and it was so good I went immediately and purchased it. It was smooth and sweet all on its own, and tasted of apricot (not just a generic fruity taste). A very nice afternoon or dessert tea!
Such a nice combination of different flavors. It has a mild taste, I would like it to be stronger.
Another honeybush win. Nice and fruity. I was too impatient to let it steep the full 5 minutes and I wish I had, but that isn’t the teas fault.
Smooth and delicious- I enjoy honeybush teas and this did not disappoint
There isn't much going on in the flavor department for this tea. The apricot is missing entirely so it tastes like plain honeybush and little else. (5 min @ 212°F)
Eh. It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t fantastic either. I would drink it again, but I wouldn’t buy it.
I love apricot flavor, and this honeybush tea is so lovely. Good with or without milk.
So fresh and fruity with a wonderful roobios flavor.
Every day I make a small pot of tea that hold about 3 serving of my tea! So based on how much of the tea I drink does help with my ratings! And for today’s CommuniTEA I drank the hole pot! I added sugar a bit to much not the first cup so I added more when I was half through and I just kept refilling. And was sad when it was gone. This was a very smooth easy to drink tea! Being I am more of a fan of black tea I was surprised how much I enjoyed this tea! Just might need to get me a little tin of this! ;)
Part of the November 2020 CommuniTEA box. Mild and mellow, as promised. I felt I was biting right into the fruit itself!
This one’s a winner! Naturally sweet honeybush pairs with the apricot flavoring nicely.
I loved this tea, I added a slice of lemon and it tasted like lemonade.
Honestly a rather interesting fruity flavor. I bet it’s be really good with other fruit blends.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this tea! I really got a lovely fragrance as well as a nice taste of apricot with a touch of sweetness. It actually reminded me of when my kids were babies, and I would feed them jarred baby food, the apricot flavor was always a favorite...this reminded me of that flavor ( yes, I tasted the baby food)! This was good enough that I think I may buy a bag of it, and it never would have been on my radar otherwise.
I really love this tea. I’m not the biggest Rooibos fan and this flavor blends really well with the base so it’s not overwhelmingly rooibosy. A lovely before-bed tea.
A nice relaxing tea, I dig it! It reminds me of a lot of other orangey/apricot teas, but I like it iced a lot. A nice end to a stressful day
Mmm, this tea is just peachy! Well, apricot-y, but I don't think that's a real word. Enjoying it with cream for a peaches-and-cream dessert tea.
This was a very woodsy tasting honeybush, but I mean it in a good way! The apricot is very pleasant and works well with the honey flavor. I drank this iced and it did not disappoint
The dry and brewed aromas suggest apricot and honeybush are a good pairing! Fruit bits and apricot aroma in the packet. Brewed, there's an apricot tangy sweetness and nutty woodiness in aroma and taste. There's also an almost vanilla-y softness and woodsy pine notes from the honeybush, and a bourbon/brandy note that I've experienced with other honeybush teas and the apricot black tea. The apricot in my sample was gentle but identifiable while the tea was hot, and came out more and more as it cooled. Literally a couple of (large) drops of honey were enough to bring out the fruit and vanilla notes and smooth the piney-ness a bit. Wasn't sure if I liked honeybush, but this is the second one I've liked so I think it's a winner for me! Apricot fans, Adagio's apricot green and apricot black are also lovely.
A nice mellow apricot flavor with the honeybush as earthy base.
I dont even like honeybush usually but this is great!!
Delicious! The aroma is very nice and it tastes great. Very well-balanced with the tea and apricots. Smooth and soft. Yummy!
Loved the flavor and 'feel' of this tea. Add some milk and sugar for a decadent treat.
It's good. I wouldn't have picked this on my own, but i'm really enjoying it. I think I would like to add a bit of sweetness to it next time. I really recommend it.
This is a great tea! Wonderful apricot aroma and flavor. It's caffeine free, makes for a nice evening tea!
