Very smooth and mild. I find this to be a very relaxing tea.
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

Very smooth and mild. I find this to be a very relaxing tea.
Tastes a lot like rooibos vanilla, only naturally a bit sweeter, with some honey-like tones. Really enjoyed it.
A new favorite. I love the smell of this one almost as much as the taste. This is great when I'm lounging around in my fuzzy robe.
This is a really good tea and blends well with everything I have added it to and is really good by itself too.
perfect. one of my favorites. love it with cream and honey!
My mom was a huge fan of this one, so I might need to get a bigger bag! I loved it too. The vanilla added a great extra sweet note to accompany the honey-like taste of the honeybush itself, and didn't make things too sweet in the process.
Honeybush vanilla is a treat to sip! I mix with gunpowder sometimes for a delicious combination!
Another of my favorite teas, this was a pleasant surprise! The taste of vanilla and honey is pleasant without being overwhelming, and offers a rejuvenating experience.
This is quite tasty and aromatic. It lacks a bit of complexity, but it's a lovely vanilla tea.
Great vanilla flavor without being so strong that it overwhelms the tea.
This is a very mild tea. It was a little light on flavor for me but would make a good tea to drink with a sweet desert.
I don't usually sweeten my tea but this one tastes like candy when I do, it's so decadent!
Great herbal tea to blend or drink on it's own! Wish there was a tad more vanilla flavor to it, but either way, it's a good tea to have on hand when I have a bit of a sweet tooth!
I really like this one and often mix it with other honey bush teas for a hint of vanilla.
Perfectly balanced. I ordered the honeybush sampler and this one stood out above the rest and I have since ordered it twice more. I love the sweet vanilla that isn't over powering and I can drink a whole pot.
This may be my favorite tea. That is, of course, a difficult thing to say, but honeybush vanilla is just so perfect. It is sweet but light, with a vague vanilla taste, and it always feels beautiful and comfortable and full of warmth and happiness. No complaints. This is a MUST HAVE tea. Get some and keep it as your back-up for those days when nothing seems to go your way. One sip of this tea, and you'll feel like you certainly won at something. .)
what can you say about this tea but vanilla. its great to relax at end of day.
I have just discovered honeybush tea, but I love it. The vanilla is a great addition.
This was the first rooibos I tried, and it was kind of disappointing. The smell when I opened the bag was really overpowering, and I thought it would be better when brewed, but it wasn't. It had this odd aftertaste, which I guess was the honeybush. It would be good for lovers of honey and rooibos, but not for me.
vanilla tea it was with a honeybush tea base but I thought the vanilla taste (not scent) could have been more pronounced.
I have never had honeybush tea. In fact, I'd never even heard of it, but since I was buying samples, I figured I'd toss it in. I am so glad I did! This may be my favorite, after having tasted several of the samples. It's light but flavorful, sweet but not cloying. I understand why it's called 'honeybush', even though I used sugar, I can taste an undertone of honey. The amount of vanilla added is perfect. I get a clear vanilla flavor, but it doesn't overpower the tea. Yep, it's definitely my favorite of all the teas I've tried!
This tea is very good its relaxing I put a little soymilk to make it even creamier
Very delicious! I added a bit of honey and sugar to it and it complimented the tea just perfectly!
For some reason, the smell of it in the pouch threw me off, it smelled strange. But I brewed a cup and it tasted amazing. Above and beyond what I expected, by far.
The vanilla is too strong for my taste, but if you love vanilla you will love this.
I feel like I add honeybush vanilla to every one of my blends. It gives a nice mellow sweetness to a blend without being overboard.
This is a favorite of mine to use in rooibos blends. I don't know if I really think of it as vanilla, though. It's got its own distinct taste.
This has always been a favorite of mine, I started drinking this in 2003 purchasing it from different companies and I believe that this is one of the best ones you can buy when it comes to Honeybush. I highly suggest it!
One last thing to note: if you like to save a buck or two by steeping a second time just know that this does not steep well after the first steeping.
Absolutely delicious! Would buy again and again. I noticed that my bag was low, and I'm already planning on buying more!
This tea puts the 'T' in tea. 'T' stands for 'tea.'
a little weak. I prefer the vanilla rooibos. I use the tea bags.
A pretty cool tea, made even better by the addition of vanilla! Honeybush has a weird sort of creamy texture to it anyway which pairs well with the vanilla flavor, much better than rooibos in my opinion. Adding milk has made it my wind-down tea for the evenings.
It's fine but for the price difference, I prefer the roobius vanilla.
One of my favorite teas, its warm and cozy and tasty.
Sweet, but the vanilla wasn't very strong--just a hint. I was hoping for more flavor. Fairly mild overall.
I love vanilla, and this is a perfect, smooth tea. It's great on its own for when you want something sweet that won't keep you up, and it's also the best vanilla I've found for adding to other teas to create wonderful new blends.
The best thing out there? No. But very tasty for a sweet herbal that doesn't have the medicinal qualities that regular rooibos has. A little honey in this is all you need for a real sweet cup.
This was good but needed more of a vanilla punch to it. Still a good tea.
This tea is really sweet. Like, candy sweet. I use sugar in almost every tea I drink, but I probably won't with this one. For science, I added sugar - surprisingly, it tasted almost exactly like those candy necklaces. I added milk - it tasted like a vanilla flavored hot chocolate. I had the same texture and same sweetness that hot chocolate does, but vanilla. I'm happy that I found a tea that is very sweet. It will make a perfect 'I want candy' treat to knock out that craving.
The tea that I go to for friends who THINK that they're not tea drinkers - this one always gets 'em!
The vanilla is not overwhelming and complements the honeybush really well.
I had not had this before and love it. Has a wonderful earthy taste. Good in the evenings.
This is not the best vanilla rooibos I've had. I prefer very strong tea, and this is not one of them. That being said, it's good for weak tea drinkers.
One of the teas from our tasting. A good decaf option. You can't go wrong with vanilla.
Slightly sweeter then the rooibos vanilla but the vanilla flavor is still to mild for my tastes. still it pairs well with stronger flavored teas to add subtle vanilla notes.
This tea is an all around pleasant tea. I add a little honey with it and enjoy. Great evening tea or post lunch.
The honeybush vanilla is the only tea I drink now. Actually it is the ONLY thing I drink, besides water, because the ingredients are migraine friendly. I don't have to worry about this tea triggering painful migraine. I was purchasing it from another big name company but when I found the Adagio site and found that the tea tasted exactly the same but costs less I was hooked!
Update: I have discovered that the 'other big name' tea place has added a dairy product to their honeybush vanilla that wasn't in the ingredients list before I started purchasing from Adagio. It does give their tea a stronger vanilla flavor but that is one of those ingredients that I am avoiding so I am so glad that I found Adagio's honeybush vanilla herbal tea! When you order from this site you can get a free sample of another flavor- if you post to Facebook or something like that- so be sure to try something new. I did and found that I am in LOVE with Honeybush Mango...I know, doesn't that sound amazing?
enjoyed this a lot in the evening with a good book
Mixed with roobios caramel and it was amazing and tasted great.
This tea is very sweet. I really enjoy the flavor while drinking it, but immediately after, it tastes like I've just had a mouthful of cough syrup. I solved this by adding some almond milk and a bit of honey. It tastes lovely, definitely solves some sweet tooth cravings. It's not an everyday tea, but good for an occasional treat. I can see it making a good iced tea.
