A tasty fruity tea that tastes good either hot or cold.
The honeybush worked well for this tea. It smelled strongly of berry flavors before steeping, but the brew was milder than the scent seemed to indicate. It tasted a bit more of honeybush - so a gentle honey-like flavor - while hot, and the various berry flavors came forward more as it cooled. All in all, a nice, mild, caffeine free blend. I liked it.
This is a pleasant blend, very fruity. I taste a lot of raspberry, in particular. Nice warm but very refreshing cold, and improved by some sweetener.
Flavor was good. I think I like my teas stronger, so I will try adding less water next time so I get more flavor. Smelled great. Would like more of the honeybush flavor to come through.
I'm not a fan of rooibos, and sometimes that also extends to Honeybush. But, while I never like anything rooibos (with on exception) I do like many honeybush. This one however was not good. The flavors did not meld well at all for me. I should also say that I hate rose flavor/smell and that might be what is making me not like this tea. But, I usually can stand if it's just rose petals, so I think it's the combination that is bad for me. Tasted as part of The Communitea.
Finally a fruity blend similar to berry creme compote with no hibiscus, so I can put cream in it! (Hibiscus will make cream curdle)
So much berry flavor! It reminds me of a berry cobbler, with the honeybush lending a bit of that crumbly biscuity topping. A bit of sugar lends to the dessert feeling, too.

Absolutely delicious. I found the berry flavors stronger when the tea cooled .
212 degrees for 5 minutes. Mellow and fresh, this tea is a nice afternoon treat. I taste berries mostly, with a good balance of the honeybush base.
The fruity aroma of forest berries and sweet honeybush rose out of today's packet. Steeping for 5 mins at 212°F created a light orange tisane.
The first sip was delightfully sprinkled with the essence of berries. Honeybush provided a soft and smooth base with a nutty warm honey flavor. The sweet and fragrant notes from both honeybush and the berries mingle in just the right way.
This one's a nicely smooth, sweet, and fruity honeybush blend. The berries aren't tart yet instead give this herbal tea a lift with the essence and aromatics from fresh berries.
I steeped this at the recommended time at 210 degrees. I did not add any sweetener or honey to it when steeping as I thought it would be sweet enough without. Afterwards I placed it in the fridge to chill over night and then poured it over ice in the morning. The taste is quite mellow to the smell, when smelling the tea before steeping it, it smelled of sour candy. I would rate this tea about 7.5/10 and would be happy to receive it again.
Soft and sweet, but the taste was meh. Too soft, almost. Not really tastes that much like a berry. Loved the fruity scent of leaves though.
This one is berry good! As a member of Team Decaf, this one hits the spot. It smelled amazing when the packet opened and just kept delivering! All the berries play well together but step forward too so you can taste their individual notes. No flavors get lost in the shuffle and nothing about this blend is muddled. The honeybush gives a nice creamy base. You almost feel like there is vanilla there because it's so smooth, but you know there's not. It's just honeybush doing its thing! I drank it plain, but I don't think a dash of honey would do you wrong! I definitely would sip this again. Happy Sipping!

When opening the packet, this tea had a faint berry scent. After steeping for 5 minutes at 212F, the tea smelled very berry. However, I mainly taste the honeybush tea when I drink it with an aftertaste of berries. I drank this tea iced and unsweetened.
I brewed according to directions 212 for 5 mins and enjoyed this as an evening sip. The berry taste was good and more apparent as the tea cooled. I drank the second steep over ice . The berry taste was more flavorful this way. Nice enjoyable tea that has no caffeine. Honeybush makes a nice base for these berry flavors.
Consider the four star review an upgrade. I'm actually not into this kind of berry tea, but it is good tasting. I guess it is the mix with honeybush that I'm not totally into. If we did half star ratings, this is more three and a half.
This has a nice intense berry flavor while being sweet (thank you honeybush) rather than tart. Definitely a winner! I especially taste blueberry.
Nice herbal tea
This is a very delicate and pretty tea. I liked it better iced, where more of the berry flavors came out. This is perfect for a hot summer day!
24 June 2020 review: Very strong berry aromas were noted even before bringing the pouch up to my nose for a sniff after opening. However, that strong aroma and berry flavors didn’t carry-on into the steeped cup right away. As the brew cooled, the strawberry and blueberry flavors made themselves known, but not in your face. Rose aromas and tastes were mild, thank goodness. No tartness was noticed, as the Honeybush provided just the proper amount of sweet honey flavors to meld all this together into a pleasant blend. No sugar was added. (5 mins @ 212F)
I didn't expect to like this tea as much as I do. When I opened the packed it smelled very tart to me but the taste is very sweet and not tart at all.
Tried this tea from a communiTEA packet. This is great tea hot and cold. It is a beautiful blend where there is no fighting for superiority just blending and working together. No single berry type stood out, I just tasted an overall berry flavor. And with the honeybush tea I got a nice sweetness. Overall a great cut of tea.
This is very good cold-brewed. Nice, light, fruity, and refreshing.
Received in my communitea pack. I'm not a fan of honesybush, but really enjoy berry-based herbal teas. The honeybush brought out a lot of mulch-y flavors for me that I didn't enjoy. The berries became stronger as it cooled, but not enough for me to want to drink it.
The honeybush wild berry blended tea was nice and light. I enjoyed it over ice.
What a nice twist on honeybush in today's CommuniTea!
I enjoyed this one a lot. The wild berry flavor is very good. I also like honeybush, both the flavor and the fact that it’s decaf, so I can drink more of it haha
Communitea tasting - lovely sweet honeybush and fruit - caffeine free
A strong fruity aroma when opening the packet. Steeped for 5mins@180°. A light bodied tea with mellow fruity flavors. The honey bush is nice, no bitterness or astringency. Delicious cup of hot tea that gets even better as it cools.
Not too bad for a decaf tea but I found the flavours to seem very artificial, similar the that of a bag of sweets. It was OK but I would not buy a big bag.
Another great honeybush flavor. Brews great at 5 minutes, but brewing for much longer will cause it to become bitter because of the berries. I usually brew it once for 5 minutes, and then again for 8 minutes. One star removed because of the bitterness. Most honeybush tea can be brewed for much longer without any bitter notes. That being said, I've only ever drank it without sweetner. Not my favorite honeybush, I recommend both the banana and mango over this one, but this one is good for mixing things up every now and then. Promotes a calm chill feeling.
One of my absolute top 3 favorite teas. I love it both hot and cold but especially cold.
Opening the bag can almost overwhelm you with the smell of sweet fruit.
Honestly, this is not doing much for me as a hot drink, so I need to come back after I've made it as an iced tea, where I think it will do very very well.
Great tasting tea would purchase again. I highly recommend this tea for your enjoyment.
I love this tea! You can feel the sweetness of the berries and the honeybush and it doesn't have too much of added flavor. Feels very natural.
Our favorite to make for ice tea! I do about 2-3 tablespoons depending on the size of the pitcher, and the boyfriend can't get enough!
I thought I disliked honeybush but this flavor is very good and full of berry flavor. I like it hot with a little sugar or honey.
Very fruity smell prior to brewing. It is a mild tea. I mainly tasted the raspberries with very faint strawberry notes at the end of a sip. This is an ok tea but not my favorite berry tea by adagio.
I like berries and teas with berries, but this one is probably my least favorite of the berries. It doesn't taste bad but it doesn't do much for me. The berry taste is rather mild as I taste the honeybrush a bit more.
A mellow herbal berry blend. This tea is a little more pronounced than elderberry wine, but more subdued than blueberry.
On its own is a three star tea, but it tastes FANTASTIC mixed with double ginger or rooibus almond.
Fine, but a bit to hibiscus-y for my taste. Could use more fruity tones.
Was an ok tea. Not flavourful enough to my liking.
I was really looking forward to this tea, but found I didn't really enjoy the combination of wild berry + honeybush. No fault of the tea I suppose, as it tasted as it was presented.
Tastes exactly how I expected: honeybush with a powerful mixed berry flavor. I know that may not be helpful but theres really no other way to describe it. I can say it's more sweet and not really tart.
This was an okay honeybush fruit blend. The fruit notes were a bit muddled and were more of an afternote to the underlying sweet notes of the honeybush. I don't feel that I would repurchase this some over some of the other honeybush blends, but it wasn't a bad tea.
This is a really great blend and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even unsweetened! Neither the rooibos nor the berry flavors are overpowering, so you get a nice balanced and mild berry tea with a hint of rose at the end.
Enjoyable tea. Usually after a couple cups of black this is nice to sip without overshooting the stimulation of caffeine. Also a good evening sipper.
Honeybush Wild Berry is a nice tea for the evening because it is caffeine free. The berry flavor isn t too strong so as to make it taste like drinking jam, but is enough to give it a bright flavor.
This is one of the few teas I keep stocked at all times. It's good hot, it's good iced. If you cold brew it overnight in the fridge, I find that the berry notes are much more prominent.
I really didn't like this. It the berry taste reminds me of the bad artificial juice I had as a kid, but without the sweetness. It's just funky.
