Honeybush Wild Berry Customer Reviews

8/28/21: I got this one thinking I would love all the berry flavors but I was wrong. This one was way too heavy on the raspberry and way too light on the other berries. My husband on the other hand really enjoyed it as he loves raspberries. He said it was good hot but he liked it best cold. He made the comment that if you were to add sweetener it would remind him of raspberry jello.
6/23/23: Update review. I made this one today double strength and really liked it. I guess this batch didn’t have as much raspberry leaves, that or the other flavors dominated. (190° for 5 minutes.)

Ok if you like Berries, I like that it is caffeine free, great at night, no worries about keeping you up.

One of my favorite teas. But I like honeybush to start with. So berry flavor only makes it more pleasant.

I’m getting more into the honey bush and Roobios teas, and this was a great first try on the honey bush. Lovely berry flavors.

This might be better as an iced tea ...while hot, none of the flavors really stood out for me. I love rose, and didn't notice it at all. I wouldn't even say berry was a dominant flavor. The taste got a little better as the cup cooled.

Average. Tastes like something you can get at any old grocery store. Nothing special. Does have a strong flavor though.

I enjoyed this tea. It had a naturally sweet berry flavor. Great on its on but also good with a pinch of black tea grounds.

I make ice teas and then carbonate them to make seltzers, and this tea is superb as a seltzer. It's fruity and well rounded.

Honestly, there's so little flavor in this no matter how much I add and how long I steep for that it makes me wonder if I got an old batch or something. Especially considering it doesn't have much of a smell, either.

I thought I would love this but sadly I didn't. I really like the forest berry flavor in the berry blast iced tea and thought this would be the same flavor, but something just didn't sit right. It might be the rose. Something about the combination of flavors just didn't work for me.

This wasn't my favorite flavor, however, I it fits well with the description of it that is seen when the item is clicked on. spouse loves it, just not my cup of tea.

A delicious, light and refreshing blend. It tastes good both hot or iced and is the perfect tea for enjoying a spring afternoon outdoors.

Delicious and refreshing! This tea has a lovely berry flavor. It smells and tastes amazing.

This was very berry, but I didn't love it - I really wanted to but it wasn't full bodied enough for me.

กลิ่นน่ารัก!! น่ารักมากจริง ๆ อยากได้ถุงใหญ่เลยค่ะ แอบจิ๊กเพื่อนมาชงดูแล้วชอบมาก

I really enjoyed the flavor of this one! It is pretty mild so I add a bit more tea per water than recommended.

The honeybush teas are some of my favorites. They have that sweet hint that makes them heavenly. No sugar required!

The berry flavor is strong, but not so much as to overpower the honeybush. (Cold brewed for 10 hours)

Fantastic flavor, definitely a decaf favorite !! I brewed this tea at a full 212 boil and steeped for about five minutes.

This is a tasty bedtime tea. It has a smooth raspberry vibe. Subtle and satisfying. I added a small amount of agave to bring out the flavors.

I normally don't really like roobois teas, but this one has a nice balance with the berries. I didn't expect to like it this much, and I may actually buy a bigger portion.

The tea is fine. However, I feel that there’s not enough flavor. I couldn’t discern tea flavors and the berry was very faint. Maybe I just like my tea strong?

A nice berry tea! Honeybush is SO much more tolerable than Rooibos! And the strawberry didn't ruin the tea for me!

A nice mix of forest berries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries that adds a luscious berry flavor to sweet honeybush. The slight hay flavor is nicely covered by a delightful fruity tang. There’s no tartness in this true berry tea. Tart flavored rose hips and hibiscus don’t share the same tea space in this berry line up. The rose petals add an extra boost of gentle softness to this smooth and flavorful tea. It’s easy to sip any time with no caffeine, resteeps well and is tasty hot or cold.

My Ct packet had 3 g/ 2 tsp of chunky looking tea with red and beige honeybush leaves, lots of apple bits, a few rose petals, some raspberry leaves and a plump blueberry. Brewed 12 oz. at 212*F for 5 min. The golden orangy liquor was easy to sip plain but a sweetener add brought out the delicious fruit flavors more. A resteep of 6 oz. was tasty and just a little milder. Chilled, this tea was very good with a nicely melded fruit flavor. Will add this new fruity favorite to my tea stash soon!

CommuniTEA review 9/22: I must admit that the primary aroma for me is artificial fruit flavor which is not enticing. But I brewed up my 3.3 gram sample using about 9 Oz boiling water for 3 minutes and the flavor is quite nice. Probably not a tea I’ll add to my stash soon but still enjoyable.

I enjoyed the honeybush tea. I had hoped for more pronounced fruit flavors. Measured tea and water so know that was right but flavors were just weak.

I was a bit hesitant about this tea when I read that there were strawberries in it. Sometimes they make my mouth hurt. That was not the case this time. Refeshing berry goodness!

Lovely tea that is fruity without being tart. It reminded me of crisp autumn evenings picking berries when I was a little girl in Michigan.

I sampled this from the communitea. I really didn’t like this one at all, but I’m neither a huge fan of honeybush nor berries.

This tea makes for a quite lovely caffeine-free berry-flavored cup. While it may be a bit hard to discern specific berry flavors, the overall taste is enjoyable.

I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. I usually don't love herbal teas or teas that smell this sweet, but it's very pleasant. Not my favorite, but I will be finishing my cup.

Love it, and I will marry it. Lol The fruit comes out very nice. I enjoy the smooth mellow berry flavor.

This was an okay honeybush blend, but the berries were very light to almost non-existant. I ended up mostly tasting just honeybush, so for me I wouldn't pick this over other honeybush blends.

I cold-brewed today’s tea and I’m glad I did! Given the ingredients, plus our current temps here (over 100), it was a nice, light, refreshing drink. At first sip, it was light but then I noticed a light mixture of berries at the end of the sip. None of the berry flavors were overdone and there was no tartness at all. It’s just a nice, light, summery drink, and it’s very refreshing.

Smooth and easy to drink honeybush and mixed berry. When hot it was okay, but more enjoyable when iced. A pretty simple tea nice for summer.

This is a yummy berry blast. I cold brewed this and would love to buy for next summer cold brews.

A light and fruity blend. Couldn't taste the rose; the blueberry and the raspberry lead the taste.

I’m always glad to find a berry tea without the dreaded hibiscus. This is lovely, with no bitterness and doesn’t even need sweetener.

A nice fruity tea, not very tart. I steeped it hot with honey.

Though I opted to cold-brew this CommuniTEA sample, I don't think I'd be adverse to trying it warm. Cold, the brew has a light, fruity flavor with subtle floral undertones. It's naturally sweet, and blueberry seems to dominate the berry flavor. That said, there's a slight medicinal note in this tisane, that while it was not potent enough to be objectionable to me, might be off-putting for others.

CommuniTEA portion: Cold steeped overnight for about 10 hours. Nice smooth and light tea. Not overly tart but berry notes. Mostly blueberry, I think. Nice refreshing tea.

The packet had a very strong and tart berry smell that I was a bit worried about as I've had other berry/cherry teas that tasted like cough syrup. This one, thankfully, did not have that problem once steeped. There's just enough tartness and its balanced by the honeybush sweetness. I like it even more with half a teaspoon of honey.

Upon opening the packet, I noted a very fruity aroma.

I added 1.5 tsp of tea sugar to my 12 oz mug as I waited for my tea water to reach 212° F. I steeped my tea for 5 minutes.

While hot, I though this tea tasted like hot, yet mild Kool-Aid (anyone else remember drinking hot Kool-Aid as a kid? Anyone? Just me?). As the tea cools, it makes me think more of jello.

It smells like berries in the packet. It brews to a delightful honey-sweet, berry cup of tea. Steep longer for more flavor.

It had a nice, fruity smell, but the flavour was a little lacking, but CommuniTEA samples don't always include enough of the dried fruit, so it might also be that...

CommuniTea: This blend is worth trying again. Brewed up to a rich brown color and had a berry flavor. Not too sweet.

Nice light , floral and fruity. A nice tea to relax with. I prefer other herbals but solid tea.

Delightful! This is a nice and sweet blend, but not cloyingly so- it stays light and refreshing.
