★★★☆☆
The first time I tried this as a late night relaxer, I let it steep too long, and found it a bit bitter. I was more careful the next time, and though the bitterness was not there, it was better, but not one of my favorites.
The smooth, gently roasted and honeyed aroma of Honeybush from South Africa, infused with dark chocolate flavor.

Smooth and so yummy. Big fan of the honeybush line, haven’t tried one I didnt like!
Not much chocolate flavor. I only get it on the aftertaste. It mostly just tastes sweet.
It s a good tea. The chocolate is very mild. Remember it is tea, not hot chocolate. :)
I wanna love this but its just okay. There's something about it that taste a little artificial.
This tea is fine for something without a lot of kick. I find the honeybush has a *much* stronger flavor than the chocolate. As I'm not a huge honeybush fan I probably won't get this one again.
Sometimes I like Adagio's chocolate teas, sometimes I don't. This one was just okay.
Delicious hot tea! I will drink a cup as a dessert.
It's okay. It has a light and sweet chocolate flavor to it.
Love the hint of chocolate and the fact it's caffeine free. Great evening tea.
Smooth and sweet with a strangely nostalgic chocolate taste. Reminds me of some chocolates I had as a little kid.
Super simple, super delicious tea with sweet honeybush and a nice, not overbearing chocolate flavor.
Good tea! I enjoy having these many caffeine free options!
If you need a chocolate fix and are watching your calories this is a great choice. The aroma will win you over.
I loved this. I think it was a sample and I wished that I had more. I'm looking forward to getting a larger amount new time.
I have bought this tea many times and it never disappoints! I love the chocolate flavor. I had never had honeybush tea before but now I'm a convert.
Simply the worst tea I've ever had from Adagio. The tea smells medicinal out of the bag. When you brew it, that medicinal, headaching smell doesn't go away. I took a few sips of this to give it a fair shake, but all I could taste was medicine. And I LOVE honeybush tea - my favorite Adagio tea is honeybush banana nut. But this tea tasted like medicine and the chocolate was VERY artificial, there was nothing sweet about this tea at all. Would NOT recommend. The flavoring on this tea is just terrible.
Was hoping for a good chocolatey tea but was disappointed. Had a nice flavor just not for me
My favorite nightcap drink. Great chocolate flavor!
Not an overly strong chocolate taste, nice balance. I love the full flavor of honeybush.
This makes a simple yet delicious dessert tea! The chocolate and honey taste really pairs well together. I add a little sugar, cream, and whipped cream for an added (almost guilt-free) treat!
I really liked this tea! It is chocolatey and sweet--perfect for the evening.
This tea doesn't have a super strong flavor but it does smell great. It's not too sweet and you won't need to add milk or sugar to it. It's definitely a more gentle tea. It goes well with a sweeter dessert or if you've had an overwhelming and don't want to focus too much on what you're drinking. I'd also recommend it for someone who is just getting into teas or who tends to overbrew their teas. Since the flavor isn't as strong, if you forget and brew it for a few extra minutes, it won't ruin the cup or pot that you made.
I enjoy this one, but I prefer the Vanilla Honeybush.
Exactly what I wanted. It was delightful and I would order it again.
honeybush has a weaker flavor & is better steeped for a longer time. love the chocolate taste, esp mixed with a bit of milk. even better when you add a little mint to it.
Good, rooibos taste is a bit strong, makes a nice latte
This is my family's and friends' absolute favorite tea! I always get asked to pick it up for multiple people when I'm shopping in Naperville. High quality and delicious!
I really like mixing this one with nutty or fruity flavors, and its really good either hot or iced.
The chocolate in this really adds some good flavour. I did find that I needed to steep it for a little longer to get the chocolate notes to come out a bit stronger though.
I really like this Honeybush Chocolate for later in the day when I'm trying to avoid caffeine.
The chocolate tasted somewhat bitter to me and so only 2 stars.
Have ordered this several times and enjoy the combination of the chocolate and honey bush. During the winter months used t to make hot toddies with a honey whiskey!
I LOVE this tea. Honeybush doesn't have the medicinal taste of Rooibus tea and has a trace of natural sweetness. This tea blends well with a variety of other flavors- vanilla, berries and other fruits and especially nutty flavors. My favorite combination right now is Honeybush Chocolate and Decaf Hazelnut Cin Cream tea. I make a pitcher and keep it cool in the refrigerator. It is a lovely way to reduce caffeine intake and still have the refreshment that only a full bodied tea offers.
Great earthy chocolaty flavor. This tea smells so good when you open it up.
This tea has a good chocolate flavor without the strong flavor of honeybush overpowering the chocolate.
This tea was excellent! Although many individuals say that this tea is not extremely strong, you have to understand that it is tea, not hot chocolate. It has an original chocolate flavor to it. I would say I prefer this one over the other chocolate teas, and I also want to state that this tea is caffeine free.
Honestly I love this one pure without adding any sugar or honey at all.
Very light flavor...very enjoyable. I will consider buying this again
This tea is okay but not my favorite. I love chocolate teas for dessert, but this one is just a bit too sweet for me. It's a good tea, but I think I prefer a bolder tea like a black tea with creamer. Just more of a personal preference.
I was looking for a rich flavored tea that did not have caffeine, so I could enjoy it in the evening hours, and I think I found what I was looking for. I don't taste much of the chocolate in this, but the chocolate does enhance the flavor of the honeybush to make it a much richer flavor.
My parents used to drink the powdered Mystic Chai in the evenings to wind down. It's kind of addictive. Mom isn't supposed to have caffeine, though, and the stuff in it messes with both of their stomachs. They tried a sample of my Roadhog tea (honeybush chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut), and I knew I had to get them their own. I've mixed it myself for them, as it's cheaper, and they're never buying Mystic Chai again.
Not a strong chocolate flavor but I think I added a little too much water. Yummy all the same.
This is delicious plain but we love mixing it with Rooibos caramel. So good!
Quite tasty - smooth but robust chocolate flavor. Great night time treat. Brewed as directed.
Smooth, not-too intense; grows on you as you enjoy the pot. Perfect with milk.
Delicious. Smooth against the tongue with a light body, and the subtle cocoa hints blended nicely with the honeybush. Had a dry finish, for me at least, but I quite like that.
Chocolately deliciousness in a very smooth tea...I also like to blend this
with my other flavored honeybush teas.
Lovely tea, very refreshing just enough chocolate to enhance the honeybush. I would highly recommend this beverage.
This Tea was like a savor of chocolate on the tongue. I loved it!
