Pretty good, but a little boring. Good for people who enjoy vanilla
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

Pretty good, but a little boring. Good for people who enjoy vanilla
Well, this one was absolutely delightful. My husband and son both agreed that this one was very nice. We added a little coconut milk it rounded it out. I would definitely recommend and purchase this one again.
This one is great. Just the right amount of vanilla. I did put some half and half in with it which made it smoother.
Absolutely delicious I’m so glad I tried a sample of this and will be ordering a larger size in future. I love all the adagio honeybush teas so far this one reminds me of cookies, love the vanilla flavor.
This is good by itself. To me the vanilla is very light I would personally like a bit more vanilla. I mix this with caramel rooibos for a treat.
The dry tea smells inviting. The taste is oddly off, though. There's a sourness to the flavor, and none of the usual gentle sweetness of honeybush. If I hadn't known this was honeybush, I don't know that I would have guessed it. Disappointing.
Good quality as always. The vanilla did not come through
Not my cup of tea. It doesn't taste bad, but I really don't feel like it has a very interesting taste at all. I have to add milk or sugar to get any feeling out of this.
Bought for expectant friend who needed to cut back on caffeine. She liked the flavor balance.
In the packet, the dry leaves smelled like vanilla ice cream and I was very excited for it. After I steeped them though, they took on a strange floral scent. It reminds me of this hoya plant with zillions of waxy little flowers at a conservatory that used to drip nectar all over the floor. The flavor reminds me of plantains? I don't know what's going on here.
It is very good, but if you like a stronger honeybush I would go with the regular honeybush, but still a delightful tea.
On its own it's a sweet, warm, right hug in a mug. Full bodied and smooth. Very nice for the evenings. I do not find that it mixed well with valerian root, which is a small bummer for me (I'm on the hunt for good blends to make sleepy teas), but I'll still drink it on its own occasionally.
I must be honest and say this was not one of my favorite teas. The honeybush flavor was a bit off putting and strange to me. I kept it a 4 stars because maybe people would enjoy honeybuh, it's just not for me.
I was initially hesitant about this tea, due to what I thought was a medicinal smell to the tea in the bag. However, I can say that, when brewed, this tea is yummy and the flavor is really brought out with some honey and a splash of barista oat milk.
A true vanilla taste (as in vanilla bean) that is equally good warm or iced. For my first cup of warm, I drank it black and enjoyed it. That’s rather atypical for me as I tend to prefer a sprinkle of Splenda or drizzle of honey. For the iced, I added about half teaspoon of Splenda natural and thinly sliced lemon. I’ve not tried an Adagio Honeybush that disappointed.
The vanilla flavor is a bit too strong, but otherwise I like the combination of honeybush and vanilla, since honeybush is already roasted and nutty tasting.
I love this tea. It's great hot and iced and is delicious at any time of day. It's naturally sweet too!
I use the Honeybush Vanilla tea as a base for some of my other herbal teas. It is consistently well rounded.
Nice soothing vanilla flavor. Easy and enjoyable to drink. Its great for when I can't have any caffeine but want a relaxing cup of tea.
It’s become my go to evening tea. Just a good all around staple.
Very tasty, I love this one with some honey and milk/cream.
I love this blend, I like it on its own or blended with other Honeybush teas
If you are a decaf fan. I would recommend honeybush. Its so smooth and refreshing . Try the sampler!
A double cup from this tea with a teaspoon of honey and some stevia is the exact soul warming I always need. It's the feeling of having a rough emotional, rainy day and the first sip makes your soul light up and say, 'I can get through anything.' The bold, rich flavor of the honeybush and the comfort of vanilla pairs extremely well. Excuse me while I make another cup...
This is a lovely dessert like tea. It reminds me of a werthers original.
Wonderful balanced tea with excellent flavor. Rich and soothing
this doesn't have quite enough flavor for me on its own. i've started adding it to rooibos teas that i find a little too strong though (like rooibos pecan turtle) and it's been a game changer.
Oh, this is wonderful. Warm vanilla combined with the softness of honeybush. I like to keep a big bag of it as a decaf option to serve guests in the evening.
I'm new to honeybush tea and this one was a great introduction. I don't get the medicinal taste that some people have mentioned in this one, just a mellow sweetness and subtle vanilla flavor.
What a lovely addition to any blend you are creating on your own. Maybe I like vanilla too much? This tea is delicious with nearly any tea you can think of. Careful not to brew it too long, it can get bitter.
This is an absolute favorite Honeybush flavor. It’s so smooth and so sweet naturally. It has a very strong honey flavor
My sister and I absolutely love this tea definitely getting more!
Very good caffeine free tea. Good anytime of the day but a special treat before bed. Vanilla flavors come through nicely.
Order this for my mother. She loves vanilla and was not disappointed with this tea.
Tastes very similar to the rooibos vanilla. I like to drink before bed the vanilla flavor is nice but kind of simple.
This tea is great health for body. Slightly sweet without the sweet.
It was fresh and lovely tasting I would definitely be buying again
The aroma from the honey Bush vanilla sends me to a warm and fuzzy place. I like to mix the honey Bush vanilla with the caramel creme brulee
Really good as a base tea. Like others have said, could use a bit more vanilla flavor. It's not super prominent. Haven't tried mixing it with other teas yet, but open to experimenting!
Love vanilla, but not the honeybush, which to me reminds me of hay. Pretty deep gold in the glass, and unremarkable when sipped. 212 F for three minutes.
Being caffeine free is a plus to my liking this Honeybush Vanilla tea. For me the first few sips are preparation for the real cup flavor. The vanilla comes through in an almost earthy flavor. After the next few sips you find a slight sweetness and a more pronounced vanilla presence. The flavor pops more as this gorgeous rust colored liquor rests in the cup. This is lovely on it's own or it would be the great start of a blend mix if you are creative. Almost anything goes well with vanilla. Great blend.
Smells absolutely lush when steeping. Also sweet even without sugar.
I'm a fan of honeybush. This one is pleasant but a bit bland on it's own. It would make a great addition as part of a tea blend.
While pretty good on it's own with a light sweetness and vanilla tang, I think this tea is just begging to be blended like others mentioned. I wanted to try it on its own, but admit after sampling it hot with honey I threw in some strawberries I had froze to speed up the chilling process and it was quite a treat cold!
Lynn: Warm and comforting aroma, but little body. Would be nice with almonds in the brew.
Andrea: As a rooibos lover, honeybush always seems too light, but this does smell nice. The vanilla brings out the honey smell of the tea. Best unsweetened.
Rooibos isn't always my favorite, this blend is one of those that hits the right notes for me. A nice smooth, almost buttery feel, hints of vanilla & honey, a beautiful afternoon treat!
I've never had honeybush before, so I can't really comment on how it compares to other honeybush teas. I do like the vanilla. It's a very comforting tea. Probably not something I'd reach for as a favorite, but might be a good evening tea since it has no caffeine. I really like the vanilla in it.
A strong vanilla scent to the dry tea but only a mild scent/taste to the brew. No bitterness, even when over brewed. Pleasant!
This tea has a very soured smell when opened which put me off. It brews to a very pretty orangey color. It has a mild vanilla flavor. It’s ok, would make a nice addition to blends.
This is a lovely brew, a lightly sweet vanilla with a pleasant aftertaste.
