★★★★★

Another favorite. Adds a little more to the honeybush. Great as nighttime sweet

★★★★☆

If you are looking for a desert tea, this is the tea for you! Its not my favorite tea from Adagio, but it is a nice change from the green and oolong I usually drink.

★★★☆☆

This was just ok for me. Not sure where the honey comes in.

★★★★★

Delicious vanilla profile. I mix these with other flavors if I want to dilute the caffeine concentration. Excellent on its own as well though.

★★★★★

Yum. Yum. Yum. Very gentle, relaxing tea with a wonderful mild taste of vanilla. Tastes like cookies and is lovely with just a tiny bit of sugar (Yes, I have a sweet tooth).

I got this for my husband who gave up coffee for lent. He was missing his vanilla flavored coffee. This was a good substitute. You must like vanilla for this.

★★★★★

Just lovely. I really enjoyed the flavor of this one. I would recommend it over the rooibos vanilla - well worth the extra nickel per cup!

★★★★☆

It's a mellow tea. Honeybush on it's own has a sweetness to it that requires no added sugar. It tastes a bit reedy with a taste of honey. The vanilla adds some extra dimension, but not enough to elevate it to new heights. Like vanilla ice cream, it satisfies a craving without leaving much of an impression.

★★★★★

A perfect combination of sweet and full-bodied for winding down.

★★★★★

just sweet enough with the wonderful scent of vanilla.

★★★★☆

not usually a fan of vanilla flavor but i like the honeybush teas

★★★★★

This was as great as I anticipated. The smell is subtle and divine. The taste is even better. I loved it brewed by itself but can't wait to try mixing it with some other teas that I have. I have high hopes for a honeybush vanilla chamomile. A very lovely, light tea.

★★★★☆

Good vanilla flavor. Doesn't wow me as much as I'd like.

★★★★☆

I like stronger teas, so I lostly use it as an additive, but I am loving the honeybush teas. They are a new discovery for me and I love to mix then with other rooibos or add this one to other teas for a sweet vanilla aftertaste.

★★★★☆

I don't love rooibos (this was a free sample), but this has a nice, gentle flavor that's pretty good.

★★★☆☆

I thought it smelled like my mom. So when I drink it, I feel I like I am drinking my mom. So This one is not a favorite for me.

★★★☆☆

I want to like this tea more than I actually do... I love vanilla and I love honeybush, but I am not completely crazy about the combination of the two flavors. I'm not disappointed that I bought it and will certainly use up the bag, but I don't think I'll purchase it again.

★★★★★

This tea is tasty on its own or in a blend. I particularly like it with fruity teas (the wild strawberry mixes really well with it).

★★★★☆

great mixed with other flavors or just on its own. Yummy as ice tea...

★★★★★

Best vanilla tea ever! Love it with the berry flavors for a berries n cream taste!

★★★★★

I received this in a sampler any had to get it again. It's a good bedtime drink as it has no caffeine. you can also make great cookies by blending a little of this in your dough.

★★★★★

This is one I had first in the sampler and it's the perfect late in the day tea.

★★★★☆

VERY strong vanilla smell in the bag, a little lighter once brewed but still a strong scent. Best flavor for vanilla in mouth that I've tried yet and it comes through REALLY strong as an aftertaste.

★★★★☆

This tea is so lovely, it surprised me for an herbal tea, myself not really an herbal tea person. It's so fragrant, smelling like summer flowers, maybe honeysuckle. I'd bet it'd make a great iced tea..

Although, since it's so fragrant I kinda expected more flavor from it, though you can still taste the sweet notes of honey and vanilla so well you don't need to add anything.. maybe milk would be a good addition- something I should try.

will probably buy this again!

★★★★☆

A very nice tea, but the leaves are quite fine, leaving a lot of sediment, or what I call 'chaff'. I would suggest you first fill the teapot with the boiling water, then gently immerse the filled infuser.

★★★★★

Honeybush is pretty good by itself (and a teaspoon of honey), but this tea is great. The vanilla complements the honeybush well, and I love the taste of vanilla. Would definitely order again.

★★★★★

Never had honeybush before now. It is really fragrant, almost reminds me of caramel. I like it mixed with a milder tea. Alone it can be a little sweet.

★★★☆☆

This tea was very nice in aroma but not great on flavor

★★★★★

Good taste, nice flavor. Good hot or iced too. I like to drink it in the morning.

★★★★★

This was one of my favorite flavors from Teavana but, Adagio knocks it out of the park! It was amazing!I drank my entire sample in almost three days! I couldn't get enough. Also, no need for any sweetner (I rarely every use sugar in my tea).

★★★★★

This is a great tea but a little weak when brewing. I just add an extra tablespoon and brew about a minute longer than usual and comes out perfect. Great tasting tea anytime of the day.

★★★★★

Oh my goodness... it's a sugar cookie in a cup! This was sweet but not too much. I added about 1/2 a spoon of sugar before tasting it. Honestly it could have done without it but it wasn't overly sweet. All I could think of was a warm sugar cookie. Absolutely delicious!

★★★★★

The top of my favs list! Love it on a chilly morning with warm, frothed milk or chilled with cold frothed milk. Equally delicious without milk. hot or cold.

★★★★★

Added 1t of sugar. This tea is delicious - the honeybush gives the full background and the sweet vanilla flavor makes it slightly more interesting.

★★★★☆

I wasn't expecting the sweet, nearly cloyingly so, nature of this tea. Alone it tastes a bit one-dimensionaly sweet. I find it does a great job of mellowing out some of the bitterer notes of the berry herbal teas without the need to add sugar.

★★★★☆

I found this one the honeybush vanilla to be surprisingly delightful. This was my first honeybush tea and I will likely order again.

★★★★★

Hmmmm, may not be for me. I just can't get past the smell. But, I'm a newish tea drinker and perhaps my pallet isn't quite refined enough.

★★★★☆

Smells great - subtle vanilla flavor to the tea.

★★★★★

I really love Honeybush Vanilla when I want something sweet and warm. It's great in the afternoon/evening when caffeine isn't wanted but a smooth comforting drink is!

★★★★★

Very clean flavor, and sweet enough you don't need any sugar. A great anytime tea.

★★☆☆☆

The smell is really strong and i did not like the over smell kill on the vanilla

★★★★☆

Very nice sweet treat! Good if you are craving something to satisfy a sweet tooth.
I'm more of a fan of less sweet teas otherwise would give it a 'great' rating.

★★★★★

Really love this tea! I have had many vanilla teas and this is definitely one of the best. Smooth, warm flavor. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

This is a great tea. The vanilla is not over powering.

★★★★☆

Delicious tea! Tiny leaves so I'm yet to find a tea ball/pot where I can effectively brew this without getting a ton of sediment in my tea. Regardless, the flavors really come through on this in the best way possible!

★★☆☆☆

the honey bush overwhelms the vanilla in my opinion

★★★★★

I liked the vanilla and honey flavor with this one. No sugar needed.

★★★★★

My favorite flavored tea in all of the choices between Rooibos and Honeybush!

★★★★☆

This tea smelt delicious fresh out of the package. It's great with just a little bit of sugar and makes a perfect dessert tea.

★★★★★

Smelled so good, and I loved the taste. Very strong vanilla flavor. My brother loved it too, and doesn't normally like tea.
