Love, love, love this tea. Great flavor and don't have to worry about the caffeine if you want to drink it prior to going to bed.
Rich, warm vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle toasty quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa.

Love, love, love this tea. Great flavor and don't have to worry about the caffeine if you want to drink it prior to going to bed.
New favorite. Warm and comforting. Perfect for afternoons and evening. Vanilla is perfect--not too overpowering. Try it with the sourwood honey!
I really enjoy this tea. It's become one of my go-to cups for when I need to just chill and relax. The vanilla is a nice accent and not overpowering, and it just has an overall very balanced and smooth flavor. Never get tired of the vanilla scent wafting from the cup.
I forgot how much I loved this tea, it is very sweet and creamy tasting. This will forever have a place in my tea collection
This tea is phenomenal on its own as well as when mixed with other types of tea from chai blends and minty ones
I like this one. Vanilla goes really well with it. Definitely one that can be blended with others flavors.
Very soft flavor but idk if fluffy is a texture I would use for taste
Very natural vanilla taste but a little too sweet on its own for me. But that's ok. I bought it to mix with other teas and it's great for that.
This is my favorite rooibos tea. Not too much earthy flavor, just great vanilla and mild rooibos flavor.
Simple, mello flavor and is great to sip on. The vanilla really comes through in the cup.
Very nice naturally sweet tea. The vanilla is not too strong. It’s good alone, but I have been using it in experimental tea blends, which is where it really shines.
Had high hopes for this tea, it isn't horrible but not my favorite either.
This is amazingly good. Bought a bunch with different flavor. So far I am very pleased with all of them.
Quite sweet and tastes pretty good. Not my favorite, but can grow in me.
I think this Vanilla blend would be great iced. I have yet to try it that way, but it is nice and smooth.
This honey bush vanilla tea is really great! Myself and my friends have all enjoyed it. Some days it smells a bit odd to me, but that could also be post-COVID smell related. Other than that, it tastes really great and is a smooth, delightful tea!
A flavorful tea by itself and great in combination with other teas.
Our favorite one of the honeybush! It's very nice and mellow.
Sweet with strong vanilla notes, I love this as an afternoon drink when i want flavor but not caffeine.
THE BEAT TEA EVER!!! YOu must try this tea, it’s is so delish!
It's very rich, and I use it to add into nearly every tea I make now because of how much I love it.
One of my absolute favorites. Perfect vanilla honey combo.
It's good for when I want to have something non-caffeinated.
This tea has just the right amount of flavor and sweetness
An excellent tea to calm the mind and body at any time of day. The vanilla flavor is front and center, but not in any overbearing sense. Its a classic tea a newcomer should try or a veteran have on hand.
Absolutely love the flavor of this tea. Usually drink it daily.
I am not a big fan of honey bush. I can't seem to get past the tobacco smell. However, adding the vanilla to the tea, was a pleasant surprise.
Not a fan. The flavor was just off...all I could taste was vanilla.
Delicious! This has become my favorite non-caffeinated tea to enjoy in the evening. I ran out of my 3 oz pouch super quickly and need to order more! @adagioteas
This is perfect for an afternoon or evening tea when I want to have a touch of sweetness
The first sip was good, but after that it was cloying. I may have added too much honey, but I still thought the vanilla was a bit strong. Not my favorite.
Tastes like vanilla icing! Probably wouldn't order this again, not my favorite, but if you really like vanilla its great!
A nice enough vanilla tea, didn't really stand out to me but I admit I'm not a huge honeybush fan.
I will agree with the comment I saw above - Honeybush tea has been a new experience for me. This is the third one in the past week, and I have been pleasantly surprised by all of them.
The vanilla flavor was nice and fresh - not too strong, and melded well with the chocolate cake I was enjoying with it. The creamy taste was pleasant and good both hot and warm. I would recommend this one - especially for someone looking for no caffeine.
This is the ultimate dessert tea. The sip is filled out by buttery, rich vanilla flavor, leaving a sugary smooth aftertaste. This tea did not need any sweetener, but with a tiny bit of creamer, this is vanilla ice cream in a mug.
CommuniTEA Packet! I love honeybush and all the adagio flavors. I think The Honeybush Vanilla wins the top prize, with the smell of creamy vanilla, Like a ice cream shop. Lol ( really ) This tasty Caffeine Free tea has a soft deep, smooth vanilla taste. I just used 2 tsp of adagio honey, and Bam! Honeybush perfection.
Yum yum this honeybush is super delicious I love the vanilla!
This is a lovely honeybush blend with a mild vanilla flavor. It’s perfect after dinner with a splash of almond milk.
This blend has a mild tasting vanilla flavor. I think it would be good mixed with something else.
This tastes and smells exactly like vanilla frosting. To the point I expect the texture of funfetti sprinkles on my tongue!
This tea is absolutely stunning. It reminds me, uncannily, of the cream soda dum-dum lollipops. Positively delicious!
a mild tea, very delicious with some honey and milk!
I don't think that I have found a honeybrush tea yet that I did not like. This one has lovely sweet notes with something a little spicy hiding in it. Quite good.
02/27/22: While I still don’t care for this tea on its own it is a popular choice in blending and lends a bit of vanilla-tinged sweetness, however artificial.
Original: When I knew today’s CommuniTEA was Honeybush Vanilla I was optimistic. This appears in many enjoyable blends, I have no particularly strong opinion on honeybush, and who doesn’t like vanilla? Well the scent of the packet put me off right away. To some this probably smelled like sugar or buttery cake, some sort of baked good, but to me it was overwhelmingly artificial and not at all appetizing. Vanilla flavoring is unpleasant to me if it is not real extract or actual vanilla bean. Part of me didn’t even want to proceed, but I did go ahead and steep at 212F for 5min. The color was a nice warm golden brown. The smell was still odd, which made me apprehensive. The taste was extremely underwhelming. If I put a drop of faux vanilla flavoring onto a popsicle stick, boiled it, and drained into a cup I believe that would recreate my experience with this tea.
This is a great honeybush vanilla blend. I added a little cream and sugar and it transformed it into a really nice treat for a quiet Sunday afternoon.
I think this works pretty well with cream; it's a nice warm night time treat.
I didn't taste the vanilla in this - just honeybush, which (to me) tastes woody with an apple undertone. It's OK, but I'd rather have a glass of plain water. But I don't like honeybush. If you do like honeybush teas, you'll probably enjoy Honeybush Vanilla.
You can’t go wrong with a smooth vanilla-flavored tea to relax your day.
2/27/22 update: still found this one to taste a bit too much like its red rooibos cousin to finish a full cup plain. Opted to blend 50/50 with berry compote which was delicious.
Original: A nice cup of tea to relax with after a long day of running about. Calming vanilla with the gentle, sweetness of honeybush. I did find that I preferred this one warm. As it cooled it became a little more woodsy to me and started to lighly mimic the not as appreciated red rooibos to my tastebuds.
When I opened this packet, I smelled the pleasant aroma of vanilla. While the smell of vanilla wasn't as strong when brewed it was still pleasant. The taste is wonderful beyond anything I could have imagined. To me this tastes like a great vanilla cake. I will be buying this again at some point.
