T______T What can I say? Sweetened, this tea is absolutely amazing. I've come to appreciate rooibos/herbal teas the more and more I taste them. Vanilla and pleasant rooibos flavor intermingle in this simple but yummy tea.
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

This tea was okay but not particularly exciting. It wasn't as strong a vanilla flavor as I had expected.
Smells great and taste pretty good. Aroma can be a bit overwhelming. I like it but it is not a favorite.
I tried this one on a whim as I've never heard of honeybush before and it is pleasantly sweet. I normally like my tea with a bit of milk but this is good without.
I did not enjoy this tea. I can't say what exactly I didn't like, but I did not enjoy the smell and it tastes like it smells.
Soft and full flavored, even better when combined with something delicate like the summer rose.
The flavor isn't too strong. I mix with other teas. I like that it's caffeine free too. Very nice vanilla flavor
Falls short on the flavor. Good but not impressive. If you are going for the vanilla flavor, get the vanilla oolong.
I don't enjoy this nearly as much as the vanilla rooibos, but it's got a pleasant, almost brown-sugar quality to it.
A very simple, sweet tea. It's warm and has a light taste.
Sweet with just a hint of vanilla aroma. I haven't tried a honey bush from adagio I don't love.
By far the best tea that I've ever had. And mixed equally with the chocolate tea it ads another dimension of flavor.
I just got this tea in the mail and I will be giving it as a gift
I was going to give this a 'good' rating, because the smell was artificial--really nothing special. I really like honeybush in general so I was expecting more. The taste was also underwhelming, but very yummy when I added a little milk, so I wouldn't at all say it's a bad tea.
Very tasty, though maybe a little bit too spiced for my tastes. Enjoyed anyway.
Sweet and delicious with just a bit of cream. I usually let it steep for an extra minute.
Hands down my favorite tea - I had to start ordering it on line so I could get a pound at a time! It needs no cream or sugar, tastes great hot or cold.
This is one of my favorite herbals to add to a blend. It sweetens a little bit, and seems to mellow some of the other flavors. It is particularly good added in equal parts to the peppermint.
This is a great roobis teas...the vanilla flavor is lovely. My favorite part about this tea is that I can mix it with almost any of my other teas for a change of flavor. Next time I will definitely purchase the larger bag!
My bonus daughter LOVES this mixed with chamommile
I love honeybush, I love vanilla, I loved this tea. I like it a lot with chamomile.
absolutely love this tea, has a wonderful sweetness
A very lovely, subtle tea. It's a little underwhelming at first sip, but once you roll it around in your mouth a bit and savor it before swallowing, you'll definitely appreciate the delicate hint of vanilla. A great tea to finish off a healthy dinner.
Such a lovely Vanilla tea, it smells really nice and blends wonderfully with most non green/white teas that I have presently!
I haven't actually tried it on its own yet, but I mixed two parts of this with one part honeybush hazelnut and it was so tasty!! I'll have it on its own soon..
This has a distinct woody taste about it that is pretty strong.
One of my all time favs. This tea is naturally sweet and it makes a great blending tea. I love it with the Mocha nut mate and the chocolate chip.
There's not much to say about vanilla tea. The simplicity is sometimes just what you want.
This tea is very similar to the Rooibos Vanilla (as you would expect--the two are cousins). This tea seems to me slightly sweeter, and is equally good for late night sipping (having no caffeine). Try it with cream and a bit of honey, though it's perfectly sweet and drinkable without any additives.
The smell opening this sample pouch nearly put me off the tea entirely - it was very acrid. However, once I brewed it up, I was a convert. This is a very nice tea. I haven't had honeybush before so I can't speak to whether or not this is a 'normal' cup in that regard, but the flavor was like regular rooibos with a little bit nuttier, bolder character, and the vanilla came through nicely. Not a tea I will drink in great quantities but one I'll keep as an option.
This was really super sweet in the cup, and isn't something I would seek out often but it makes a nice dessert cuppa.
Delicious toasty, creamy tea for a cold afternoon.
Very mild in flavor but very tasty. A good tea for a calm evening. Best with a tiny bit of sugar or honey.
I love this tea! It's one of my favorite Rooibos teas I've ever tried. I highly recommend trying it.
Good vanilla flavor with a hint of honey. It had a earthy note to it.
Yumm this tea is so vanilla-y and it mixes with the slightly woody taste of the honeybush perfectly! A little sugar helps to bring out the inherent sweetness very well and compliments both tastes. I've yet to try it cold but warm it's so comforting and perfect for winter.
this is a nice light tea, but it doesn't have a whole lot of flavor. Had it in blends, and its great, but it just doesn't have enough oomph for drinking it alone
This is a great tea, especially with a little honey mixed in.
I think I will like this better in a blend. I'm going to try it blended with the chocolate chai. That might make the chocolate chai worth drinking.
Honeybush vanilla is a lovely, sweet vanilla tea that is perfect for evening. Nothing needs to be added to this cuppa for it to be a relaxing, simple, delightful brew.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this tea. I have had honeybush vanilla before and was not fond of it, but this had just the right balance of sweet and floral.
This tea is the perfect tea for after dinner. The scent is amazing!
'Twas a dark and stormy morning, and all through the office, not a taste bud was stirring, not even in my mouth. 'Enough of this!' I said and opened my drawer to pull out some tea to cheer up my soul. Out came Honeybush Vanilla and Blood Orange too, 'A cup of each, that's what I'll do.' The Honeybush Vanilla was creamy and vanilla-y and fine, the Blood Orange was orangey and deeply colored with sunshine. After two cups I paused for a while then threw both teas in for a new sort of trial. Apart they were three stars but together all five. Orangey and creamy like a bebopin' jive. Tasty enough to inspire a poem and tasty enough to have a second cup after spilling most of the first one all over my desk (and myself).
Oddly earthy, and kind of hard to pin down in terms of taste, but I liked it very well.
This was a pretty sweet tea but it was not overpowering.
I loved this tea! It's a bit sweet, but it's subtle enough that it doesn't affect the tea itself that much. I steeped it for much longer than the suggested time, and the result was great. This is one of my favorite teas on adagio.
A nice treat in the evening when I want to go caffeine-free.
The tea has a nice aroma. Strong honey notes. I do not enjoy this tea though and would not order again.
I personally did not enjoy this but my father does. To him it tasted like clover honey which I just don' enjoy.
I have always liked this tea. It reminds me of sipping on a birthday cake. I mix this one with other teas like the apple cinnamon just to add the vanilla in.
