★★☆☆☆
The vanilla was very artificial tasting. I've had Rooibos tea before and I know it's similar to honeybush, but the vanilla just ruined it.
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

Love the citrus, really like with the honeybush orange. Someone had created a dreamcicle flavor with the two and since I wasn't sure about getting a whole 4 oz I decided to purchase the two and mix myself. I'll now go get the one that they created.
One of my favorite versions of honeybush. Much better than the rooibos version.
My fiance liked this a lot more than I did. Although I love rooibos, it turns out I'm not a big fan of honeybush. Still, I enjoyed the vanilla flavor more than the plain honeybush--the sweetness of the vanilla helps cancel out whatever it is that I don't like about honeybush. If you prefer a robust tea, though, stick with the rooibos.
This was my least favorite of the three flavored honeybush teas I tried--the vanilla taste wasn't very strong and tasted really artificial besides.
warm, comforting flavor. great tea for the evening or for those who want to stay away from caffiene. the vanilla is not overwhelming.
Very good but definite, distinct difference from rooibos vanilla. Can really taste the honey in this.
Nice change from the standard roobois teas. With vanilla this is a very dessert like tea.
Smells very strong like vanilla but does not taste as strong as it smells.
This tea is okay. I enjoyed the honeybush hazelnut much more than this flavor.
I initially brewed this tea as I would a Rooibos, but it was extremely light. So I then brewed it double strength and still couldn't get enough flavor out of it. By then my sample was gone, so I was very disappointed with this flavor.
This was my first time with honeybush, and I can't say I'm impressed. I've brewed it several different ways, and no matter what, it's weak with no real body.
First time trying a honeybush tea and I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes better than it smells, and plus...no caffeine.
I love vanilla and this was wonderful. I like rooibos vanilla and this was similar to it. I guess the differnce was one was more flavorful than the other, but it's one of my top choices.
The vanilla is just too much for me on top of the natural sweetness of honeybush.
Very sweet, vanilla flavor. Good, but quite different from the vanilla rooibos.
I loved this tea. I only drank it alone once because it is so perfect for using to sweeten any other tea. The flavor is wonderfully sweet and you can easily taste a touch of honey in the sweetness.
I like a good cup of honeybush at night when its too late for caffine. This has a very pleasant vanilla flavor, not overpowering.
I was a little disappointed with this one, but to be fair there are not many red teas that I like
Good! Perfect in the evening when you want to avoid caffeine.
I personally don't like this tea just on it's own, but it is amazing mixed with herbals like chamomile! Yummy!
Just like the honeybush orange, this is not one of my personal favorites. Smells pretty good, and DEFINITELY tastes smoother than its orange counterpart. Add some vanilla black tea and brew cautiously.
I enjoyed this tea. The vanilla taste was very strong.
This is my first time trying honeybush and I love it! It tastes very woody and the vanilla is subtle rather than overpowering. It makes a lovely afternoon tea
Fairly sweet tea. Tastes, as the name implies, that it has a bit of honey mixed in with it. Can come off as a little too sweet at times, but overall a good tea.
Not bad at all, and definitely worth a try-- just not quite enough to displace Rooibos as my herbal tea substitute of choice.
Very aromatic, but I made it and steeped for 5 minutes and the flavor came out dull. Tried again and left it in for 7 and it was a lot better.
I like honeybush better than rooibos, but I'm not a major fan. I think I'll enjoy it better as a blender than alone.
A co-worker of mine was heard to remark, 'This tastes like Big Foot's dick.' That just about sums this tea up.
Yummy!! Very light and sweet, no need for sweetner, although sometimes I add a little Z-Sweet... A lighter flavor (in my opinion) than some of the flavored rooibos.
Not my cup of tea. It taste like medicine to me. I don't think it was the quality of the tea but the honeybush itself that I didn't care for.
A uniquely delicious tea with the right amount of vanilla flavor. Definitely worth a try!
This is a nice flavorful tea. Using honey as a sweetener makes it taste even better. I will order it again.
This is the perfect amount of sweetness for a dessert tea, and is nice & smooth as a hot tea (I haven't tried it iced yet, but will soon!)
A very naturally sweet tea, but would probably be a good iced tea. If you have a sweet tooth but don't want to have a dessert, this would be satisfying for sure.
Makes a wonderful night time tea and indeed has a honey flavor.
so sweet! (you do not need to add any sugar - usually I go for 2 sugars but this needs none) let it steep for a while too. EXCELLENT!
A very fulfilling flavour - a bit sweeter than the rooibos vanilla, but just as good in it's own unique way. Give it a try!
loved it, buying a bunch more. The mellow vanilla mixes nicely with the honeybush flavor.
