This Roobios is definitely stronger than most but it s still great. Heavy chestnut and nut flavor, I cant wait to try as a hot latte
Smooth, rich flavors offer natural sweetness and depth. This is the ideal blend to sip by the tree, on a snowy winter's evening.

Oh I love this so much. The rooibos flavor is strong but in a GREAT way. I love it.
This tea is great. One of my favorites. Good aroma, nice warming taste
Taking a chance I ordered the 16oz bag. HOLY MOLY, I’m rationing because I SHOULD have ordered 2!! Best tea ever!! First tea im excited to go back and back to!! BRAVO!!
This had a nice, festive flavor. Very enjoyable, and just what I was looking for from a holiday tea.
Very similar to Rooibos Pecan Turtle. Good nutty flavor
I’m definitely going to be stocking up on this one every year!
I love this! It has a wonderfully sweet, nutty flavor and is deliciously satisfying. These delicious teas make sticking to a keto diet just a bit easier! Add a splash of heavy whipping cream for a yummy, filling treat!
Gake, fake perfumey syrupy sweet 'natural flavors' —so strong and artificial you cant taste any actual tea. I have used teas that contain 'natural flavors' but never any where the flavoring was so overwhelming. I bought 7 samples because they sounded good, but I should have noted samples are not returnable. I'm stuck with $25 of tea I cant drink. Not pleased.
Disliked it. Just seemed off to me but it s hard to describe. It did have a nice strong flavor.
One of my favorite seasonal teas -- luscious chestnut flavor that stands up to milk
This is a nice, nutty rooibos and is definitely pleasant! In my opinion though, it isn't anything particularly outstanding - just a nice tea.
delightful tea! with a sweet nutty taste!perfect for a late night cup of tea
This is my favorite tea ever I think. It’s so warm and perfect for winter.
A new winter favorite! I'll have to order more before it disappears until next year. For me, I think the nutty tastes are most prominent, but the caramel adds a nice smooth undertone. I will say that I don't get much from the apple or the cocoa nibs, but that's not a dealbreaker for me, since I love a good nutty tea. This is a really nice after-dinner tea and has gotten me through evening shifts when I need a hot drink but don't want to caffeinate too late in the day.
This one is just not my thing. It has a lot of nut flavor. It just doesn t knock my socks off.
This tea was an unexpected surprise for me. The rooibos combined with the additional flavors make this tea naturally sweet and delicious. The cocoa flavor definitely came through for me in a nice way. Does not need sweetener, but it can boost the flavor. Great hot or iced.
Nutty caramel flavor that also has a graham cracker flavor vibe as well.
Boiling temperatures caused the fruity flavors to be lost. Works best at lower temperatures.
I love this tea! I'm ordering more of it. I love the subtle caramel and nutty flavor. It's caffeine free, too!
I didn’t know I even liked Roobios tea until Adagio. This is like a little cup of Christmas! It is so good!
This tastes like Christmas in a cup, tastes amazing paired with madeleines
This tea looked wonderful and I’m looking forward to trying it out
Wonderful nighttime caffeine-free treat around the holidays. Love the nutty and caramel flavors.
As the snow begins to fly, this has become my morning go-to. Subtle yet strong. Perfect pick me up.
There is something about this tea that just draws me to it. It is delicious, the aroma is amazing. It is very different from other teas that I enjoy. Will definitely be purchasing again!
My favorite winter tea! Perfect warming flavors to make me feel ready to meet the chill outside. I like to add a little Rooibos Carmel with this as well.
Nice smooth, nutty flavor. If i want caffeine, this herbal blends well w/ Ceylon, Assam, & even Earl Grey black tea. That's why i love roobios (green/red) and honeybush, so versatile for mixes.
Thought it would be too strong but is just right. Really good hot.
I'll concede at the beginning of this review that I haven't had any other rooibos teas, especially not an unflavored one. The first thing that hit me when I opened this was that it smelled starchy, kind of like pasta. I... have NO idea why that comes to mind for me. The scent persisted throughout brewing, mellowing out to a much sweeter aroma that reminded me of maple-flavoring, maybe with a bit of vanilla. I'm not sure where I'm getting all of this from. The caramel? The nuts?
The taste itself is very sweet! It would make a decadent, warm treat on a cold day. It's a rich reddish-orange color, too. The scent was a too distracting for me, but for people who enjoy those scents, I can see that being a bonus. All in all, this is a very aromatic tea. I feel like my own issues with it are from me not being familiar with these as tea ingredients, and that someone with a sweet tooth would appreciate it better than I did. I've given it to my mother to enjoy the rest, and she loves it both warm and chilled.
(Tip: Be prepared to use a fine strainer or infuser. There are many, many tiny bits that can easily fall through the holes depending on what you're using; the infuser I use has relatively large holes and let many pieces out to float free. I switched to a paper coffee filter afterwards since they're readily available at the grocery store.)
Holy wow, this tea is the spirit of the season! This is roasted nuts and smooth, creamy caramel, brightened with just a touch of dried fruit, with a hint of chocolate to give it depth. I live in the tropics and sipping this made me feel like I was wrapped up in a quilt in front of a cozy fire, stockings hung and tree decorated, with picture-perfect snow drifting gently down outside.
Wish this was a year round tea and not just seasonal for winter. Nice smell of chestnuts and strong flavor without having to use a lot. For those of you who like this, Rooibos Pecan Turtle is similar and available all year.
I love this tea. It makes me feel cozy, like drinking hot chocolate on a snowy day, except for any season.
Like all Adagio teas, the balance of flavors in this one is lovely. I am not a huge rooibos fan, but the spices really make this one special.
LOVE this, wish it was available all year. The smell is intoxicating. I can’t say enough about this tea blend.
One of my favorite herbal teas, tasts very nutty, perfect for the evening.
My favorite tea from my order. I wish I had ordered a larger quantity. I guess they only carry this around the holiday time, which is maybe a shame; but maybe, it's better because then I can look forward to it. The hints agglomerate into a rich tapestry that I crave, but because I only ordered an ounce I savor the treat for special occasions.
This one I think is one of those teas that sounds better than it actually is. Or perhaps my tastes have changed since my last rooibos. Or (and this is probably the most likely) this is a tea that's intended to be enjoyed with something added.
I like to enjoy my drinks in their pure form, and this one didn't really do anything for me. It's a perfectly fine tea, just not for me.
I absolutely loved this tea. The caramel and nutty flavors were heavenly. It had a richness that almost reminded me of coffee. It smelled great and I will likely buy more before the season is over. Highly recommend.
This is one of my favorite Rooibos teas. It is seasonal, so I buy a big bag so I can have it year round.
it smells fantastic, but doesn't have enough flavor for me. It's all aroma. UPDATE: I just finished the bag and I'm sad. I've grown to love this in the evening with some milk. I still think it's mostly aroma, but not in a bad way. It's a lovely nutty, sweet tea. Great for getting through the winter.
I hate Rooibos tea, for the most part. However, this one? This is surprisingly good. So good, in fact, that it's now in my top favorite hot teas.
This tea is absolutely delicious!! So yummy. Reminds me of Christmas!
Really not a fan of this tea overall but it wasn't a bad tea.
An excellent spice with just the right influence of rooibos.
Of all of the holiday special teas I purchased this was my favorite. It is smokey sweet. It is a nice relaxing blend.
Sweet, caramel vanilla rooibos! Tasted great with cream. My 5 year old even drank her whole mug of it! Will definitely purchase again this winter.
I absolutely loved this tea. I bought a small bag to sample but ended up immediately purchasing the largest available bag once I tried it. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It has an amazing chocolate flavor that isn't overpowering or synthetic.
Great tea! This has a pleasant sweet taste and is perfect for the holiday season :) Can t wait to purchase again!
Like a gingerbread cookie, with a hint of sweetness. The rooibos is not overwhelming, which is great!
