I purchased this to take the bubblegum taste from the dewey cherry.
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

I found a local tea that tasted like creamcicle, until I discovered that the main ingredient wasn't very safe, so I went looking for something to replace it. Enter Honeybush Vanilla and Honeybush Orange - a perfect match. I like to blend 2 parts orange to 1 part vanilla. I've never been a huge red tea fan, but the Honeybush is a definite winner! Delicious!
Tastes great! The description is spot on, tastes like I’m drinking vanilla ice cream.
A very nice decaf tea for evenings or afternoons. Has a nice, full taste and is not astringent even when steeped very strong.
So tasty! And a good tea for relaxing and reading a book.
This tea has quickly become a favorite! I don't drink caffeine in the evening so I try to keep a good non caff around...I ordered this because I thought it sounded similar to a tea I drink from another brand but this blew it out of the water! It has a lovely sweet vanilla flavor with a faint hint of tobacco. Wonderful!
Love this tea! I can enjoy a hot beverage before bed and not worry about it keeping me up all night. I highly recommend this blend.
One of my favorites. The honey and vanilla flavor make it devine.
This tea is amazing! Such a sweet, warm smell, perfect for this snowy time of year.
I didn’t love this tea plain but after I added some milk and a tiny bit of sugar it was pretty good. I can really taste the vanilla and it has none of the woody tobacco taste that you sometimes get with red rooibos. It’s a very comforting tea. Perfect for bedtime. I also had this with a splash of almond milk eggnog and that was very yummy as well. I’m glad I gave this one a try.
Softer and a little sweeter than the rooibos vanilla. The flavor of the tea and the vanilla flavor are both less intense. Probably a good starter honeybush tea, or for blending, but not great if you've already sampled more interesting flavors.
Pretty good -- nice to mix with other blends. Not the best on its own, but drinkable.
This was just okay for your me. Still don't know if I like. Will have to try again, make a little stronger next time.
I love honey bush. This one is excellent. A nice natural sweetness with that earthy roobios notes
This is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! It definitely has a vanillla flavor and is sweet and just YUUUMMMM!!! I wil be re ordering this as its a great one to drink by itself or blend with others..WINNER!!!
I wish this had more of a vanilla taste to it. It smells great, but the taste is a bit weak. It may be good to pair it with another tea if you like a strong flavor.
This is really good, though I mostly use it to mix with herbal blends to give everything a nice sweet and smooth taste. its very handy to have and delicious as a stand alone as well.
This one smells very strongly of vanilla, but once brewed it’s the perfect flavor
This was good but not amazing. Between Honeybush Vanilla and Rooibos Vanilla, I prefer Honeybush Vanilla. Honeybush is a sweeter tea than rooibos so the Honeybush Vanilla tastes sweeter to me.
Good taste. We like mixing his with other honeybush and chai teas.
a bit weak for my taste, nice, light aroma and soft. I'm sure it blends well with other teas.
A delicious and caffeine-free way to sweeten my blends. I love adding this to fruit teas, and to summer rose tea. It's not quite as tasty as cream tea, but it gets lots of points in my book for being decaf.
I like this a lot. Deep, complex tea yet somehow also light in flavor. Having it be caffeine free is also a bonus, considering I'm drinking this at 1am. Aromawise it smells like bananas, honey, and cocoa and tastewise it tastes sweet but not overwhelmingly so. The vanilla flavor is subtle and it complements the honeybush well.
A standard staple in my tea cabinet. The flavor of this brand is a bit different than others I've tried, but still just as tasty. I use it primarily with lapsang souchong for a lovely, smoky-vanilla flavor.
I thought it went well with chai as a caffeine free option, but I may just go with the plain honeybush next time around. Not bad though!
The hints of vanilla are really tasty, and smell great. It's very nice with a little milk and sugar.
We used the honeybush vanilla combined with white blueberry and received so many compliments at our church tea.
One of my new favorites. Light tasting, mildly sweet from the vanilla. Really nice evening tea.
This vanilla is 'good'. Not my favorite honeybush blend here on Adagio, but it is definitely a nice tea. I don't think the vanilla shines as much as the other components in the other honeybush blends like hazelnut and banana nut bread.
One of my favorite teas. Subtly sweet and earthy.
Honeybush is my current favorite non caffeinated tea. This one is delicious by itself or with creamer.
Very strong flavor, exactly as the name of tea describes
Such a smooth, refreshing tea to have on stock. Delicious!
my favorite vanilla Settled yet flavor carries through
I love this tea - it goes great with chocolate! Probably my second favorite to the honey bush hazelnut.
A real treat in the afternoons. So happy I tried it!
Perfect on a rainy day. Very flavorful and light-hearted.
I love the honeybush more than the the rooibos I usually get. I love it more! It has a stronger vanilla flavor which makes it more enjoyable.
Definitely tasty, but I’m partial to honeybush. Warm and comforting. I still prefer the honeybush hazelnut, but this one makes a nice alternative!
A great tea with almond milk and a spoonful of honey.
Not as good as the Honeybush Banana, but this is also a great tea. Still 5.
Combined with Earl Grey Lavender. Simply put, this is a great tea to blend with anything.
Delicious! Sweet and the perfect amount of vanilla to pick up any blend.
This tea is just pretty okay. It's enjoyable but doesnt really make much of an impact for me
this is my personal favorite. i will sometimes mix this with a black tea to get a desert/sweet tea.
It didn't work as Iced, but it was great hot with a little sugar and a splash of milk
This tea is the glue that holds everything together for deliciousness. It mixes well with any flavor. And honeybush is good at balancing blood sugar levels. Great hot or iced
Very good, more full bodied than regular vanilla rooibos.
In my view, a perfect cup of tea. Especially since I m avoiding caffeine.
Smooth and great vanilla taste. I mix coconut milk with it.
