★★★★★

I tried a sample of this tea and had to order more. Typically in the evenings I do herbal or fruity flavors, but I really like having the option of a traditional earl grey that can be drank right before bed.

★★★★★

My boyfriend loves this product! Rooibos's natural sugary fruity flavor pairs great with the bergamot to make a naturally sweet cup great for lattes. Beautiful vermillion color and citrus aroma. Very bright tea.

I love both Rooibos and earl grey teas, both together taste amazing. Not too much of just one. Can taste both Rooibos and earl grey.

★★★★★

I love drinking earl grey at night before bed, and this tea is perfect for that! It has a powerful bergamot flavor and the rooibos is a smooth backdrop. A great decaf choice for citrus lovers.

★★★☆☆

I can't say anything really bad about this tea. I bought it looking for options for the evening, when caffeinated teas aren't the best choice. It has an OK flavor, though I feel that the bergamot gets kind of lost in the rooibos. It just didn't suit my palate.

This one hits somewhere in the middle for me. Earl Grey is my all-time favorite tea, but because I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine, I've been on the hunt for alternatives. Unfortunately, this one did not live up to its blacktea counterpart. The bergamot is subtle and almost has a medicinal taste when taken without milk. Though, it was palatable and I do plan to finish up my sample.

This earl grey is one of the nicest tasting I have discovered just perfect.

★★★★★

The first time I tried Earl Grey tea, I was intrigued by what I interpreted to be a floral spicy flavor, similar to lavender. At the time, I was not aware that it was actually from a citrus fruit. Years after giving up caffeine, I am very familiar with bergamot through my study of essential oils. Some 20 years later, I still wish I could experience the Bergamot flavor in a warm cup of tea. Earl Grey and Jasmine are the flavors I miss most from my real tea drinking days. Earl Grey herbal concoctions are possible to find out in the marketplace. However, I am usually very disappointed, because the bergamot aroma and flavor is so faint that I feel like I'm trying to pick it out the entire time as I'm drinking it. This was the case with two very expensive bergamot infused herbal blends I just tried. I think this Adagio blend is the best I've tried so far! I definitely enjoyed the bergamot flavor throughout the cup. I was a bit worried about the orange peel, as I don't usually like orange peel in herbal concoctions. It didn't seem to interfere here, though. I don't think there is any flavor from the cornflowers, but they do look pretty in the blend. Yes, I think I'll order a bigger size!

My teenage brother's favorite tea! He is very sensitive to caffeine, but he loves earl grey. All the flavor is there with none of the caffeine headaches, or the bitterness that comes from oversteeping a black tea on accident.

★★★☆☆

Not the best earl grey that I've had, but it was a free sample so I at least wanted to give it a shot.

★★★★★

Very lemony and aromatic flavor. I love the combination with the rooibos as oppose to the classic earl gray blend. its perfect for the evening as well after supper as well as in the morning.

I recently got into an all rooibos blend which got me to finally try the Earl Grey. Also, I wanted a cup of Earl Grey, but I also wanted to go to bed soon after. This allows me to do both!

OMG - I am in LOVE with this tea! It hits the spot like a cup of traditional earl grey, but is still herbal. It's awesome, especially if you are trying to avoid acid and caffeine!

★★★★★

A great herbal replacement for earl grey. Good for when you crave the flavor but not the caffeine.

★★★★★

I love this tea. After buying a couple of sample packs, I just had to buy a big bag of this earl grey!

★★★★★

Earl grey flavor blends well with the rooibos for a cup of Earl Grey you can enjoy all day long.

★★★★☆

I thought this tea was pretty good, but I don't think rooibos teas are really my thing. I thought maybe having ear grey in it would make it easier to like because I love earl grey, but I was still not thrilled. I don't want my bias to discourage someone from getting this tea. If you like rooibos, I'm sure you'll like it. It's different.

★★★☆☆

I'm not generally a fan of rooibos, but I love earl grey and wanted to try this. It has a good flavor and is a suitable alternative to the decaf earl grey.

★★★★★

If you like earl grey, but can't have caffeinated tea, this one is for you! Great traditional flavor in a rooibus -- perfect!

★★★★★

Amazing blend for the end of the day when you don't want any caffeine, but still want that earl grey taste. It's a bit woodier than black earl grey (the rooibos!) but it complements the bergamot flavour incredibly well. After sampling this I immediately bought the largest size, and I drink it almost every night!

Great for when you want the flavor without the caffeine.

Very aromatic and leaves a plant floral after taste.

★★★★☆

The citrus peel is definitely dominant on this one. I don't actually find it sweeter than a traditional Earl Grey. Enjoyable, but not as expected. As a side note, my boyfriend enjoyed it more after it cooled to room temperature.

★★★☆☆

The bergamot feels really overpowering in this herbal blend. This tea wasn't really for me

★★★★☆

I really liked this, and earl grey is my favorite tea, and I though it was a nice tea.

★★★★☆

Smooth and refreshing, I would recommend this tea.

★★★★★

Of all the adagio teas I've tried this is by far my favorite, smooth and flavorful!

★★★★☆

This is a perfect tea for those of us who LOVE the taste of Earl Grey, but want a caffeine free option! It makes my mornings happy!

A soothing evening tea for curling up with a good book or trashy tv show. Nice fragrance. Smooth flavor. Great for sore throats with a generous dollop of honey.

★★★★☆

Earl grey flavor did not disappoint but also did not overpower.

★★★★★

A wonderful option for late night tea drinking when you don't want to be up all night! Great Earl Grey flavour.

★★★★★

I've always loved earl grey but cannot tolerate the caffeine in regular black tea, and simply do not like decaffeinated black tea. Your rooibos earl grey is FABULOUS. Now I can have my earl grey and drink it, too. IMHO, it's the best earl grey I've ever had.

★★★★★

I love earl grey so I was excited to try this. It did not disappoint. The smooth sweetness of the rooibos balances out some of the zesty citrus notes of the traditional earl grey. This creates a lighter, more mellow taste without losing the distinct earl grey flavor. It is a delightful caffeine free treat for any earl grey lover.

★★★★★

It is nice to have a different kind of earl grey that is decaf and also rooibos. I love this one and recently reordered it

★★★★★

A lovely delicately, quite sweet tea without any sugar crystals. Fabulous iced as well, refreshing. I mix with a favorite black tea, experiment. *32 once teapot, one tablespoon tea in each infuser ball
Wow. I paint the chain on the infuser ball different colors to identify each tea, works great for me.

★★★☆☆

This is okay. Its not the same as the black tea earl grey. Rooibos is fine and goes through the infuser leaving a lot of tea leaves in the brew.

★★★★☆

I purchased this for a friend and she reported that she loved it!

★☆☆☆☆

The early grey is very strong and overpowers the rooibos, and becomes too much of a perfume taste.

Earl grey is always my favorite tea so this decaffeinated version is perfect for when I get an afternoon craving for it but don't want to throw off my sleep.

★★★☆☆

Probably one of the least favorite of mine from otherwise almost perfect Earl Grey''s tea collection. In my opinion - totally unnecessary version (on Earl Grey).

★★★★☆

A very pleasant tea for when I want the flavor of earl grey without the caffeine. It was very nice with a dash of agave and cream.

★★★★☆

This blend is a bit smoky, but still sweet and earthy. Recommended if you like both earl grey and rooibos! I take it with both milk and sugar, and it's perfect to drink at night.

★★★★★

I order it just to try something completely new. Earl Grey is not completely new, but it is not from tee tree leaves. It was a very good surprise of a cup with fresh taste.

★★★☆☆

Interesting blend, but it smells better than it tastes. I like rooibos, I like earl grey, but it just wasn't right for some reason

★★★☆☆

A smooth, earthy take on earl grey with a slight sweetness courtesy of the rooibos. I still prefer the traditional earl grey, but it's not bad to have around as a caffeine-free alternative.

★★★★★

This is excellent, particularly with a touch of fresh ginger added! I also like pairing this with the earl grey bravo to make a standout cup of tea to wake me up during my 5 a.m. get-moving zombie days.

★★★★★

I got this as a free sample and will likely buy more.

★★★★☆

OK, but I wouldn't add it to my list of favorites - metallic notes, at least for me. Might try blending it with other tea flavors.

★★★★★

I was looking for an alternative to Earl Grey Decaf and this did the trick. I actually enjoyed this more than the decaf black tea version.

★★★★★

Rooibos is wonderful. Have shared with my daughter who is has a baby who is colicy. This is the remedy for colicy. There is lots of stuff on the internet about Rooibos and babies. She is even breast feeding
