★★★★☆
Is good to satisfy a sweet craving. Caramelly and pairs nicely with the rooibos.
Smooth, rich flavors offer natural sweetness and depth. This is the ideal blend to sip by the tree, on a snowy winter's evening.

Is good to satisfy a sweet craving. Caramelly and pairs nicely with the rooibos.
My favorite tea on this website was Rooibos caramel, until I tried this, which tastes just like the Rooibos Caramel, but with more flavors that blend in perfectly. It also goes well mixed with other teas, brewing it with Honeybush Mango tastes wonderful.
I m ordering more.
Nice and vanilla-y and festive, good to have before bed
I am a fan of the nut-flavored black teas that Adagio has, and this is a very pleasant caffeine-free alternative to these teas. I'd say the dominant aroma in there is chestnut, with hazelnut as a strong second. It is a very satisfying tea that can be drunk with milk for added creaminess.
An excellent desert tea. Perfect after a long day at work, really good flavor. Despite the name, good outside of winter too! Rich tea with awesome, smooth caramel and a nice hint of cocoa. Reminds me of a fruit and nut dessert drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. Excellent with a bit of cream.
Great balanced flavor, especially when you're sure to extract it at 212. The temperature really made a difference from my other kettle that only gets to 202.
Amazing smell, comforting and easy to drink. Highly Recommend.
One of the best rooibos tea mixes I had. Very smooth.
This tea is absolutely delicious--I love the sweet, caramel flavor accented by the fruit. I really enjoyed it on cold evenings.
One of my favorite rooibos teas. I have bought it several times for myself and also as gifts for family.
Gave this as a gift and I have never met anyone who has been this obsessed with tea. My mom absolutely loved it.
A pleasant surprise. It has enough blossomy, fruit notes that I do not need to add any honey. Also enough complexity to the flavor to keep my wanting more! I ran out of this really quick!
So glad I bought this. It has tons of complex flavors and is a great dessert tea. It is my new favorite evening dessert tea. I will try iced at some point when I am able to wait and not just drink it hot. I love this tea.
It's got a smooth, nutty flavor that I really like. It's nice and festive, but it's not the most outstanding rooibos I've had.
I love this tea! That is why I ordered it in bulk due to the fact it is a seasonal offering that I don't want to do without. I have shared it with many friends and family members. Everyone who has tasted it...loved it. From the aroma to the slightly sweet taste to the fact it's decaffeinated you can't beat this tea in my book. It's my #1.
What a delightful tea for cold winter evenings! Love the caramel flavor in it!
Quite a tasty cup of tea! The aroma when you open this bag of tea is amazing - very woodsy. The flavor is good, not bitter in any way, but not quite as strong as I prefer. I do love the nuttiness though!
A great December tea! It's nutty and sweet and goes great with almond milk and honey.
Very pleasant, nutty feel. Good to warm you on a winter night.
I love teas with chocolate in them, as they are so indulgent. I bought this for a friend for Christmas, to show her the error of her tea bag ways... mission accomplished.
Well-rounded rooibos that very much lives up to the nutty flavor of its name. As I normally find with holiday-themed teas, it is inherently sweet so you shouldn't need to reach for the sugar.
I came to this website not much of a tea fan, but now I enjoy a cup of this almost everyday. Its my favorite tea so far.
still as wonderful as ever sweet caramelly and with just a little zing
Yummy! This blend was smooth and perfect for the cold, winter nights
I wasn't really a fan of this one. It had a weird, dusty aroma. It kind of grew on me after a while, but I wouldn't order it again.
I got a kettle for Christmas and have been sampling of tea since. This is my favorite flavor! It s sweet, nutty, and very soothing. It smells amazing, I love that it s caffeine free and I use it as a sleepy tea. I will be sad when it s discontinued
Great flavor. Smooth and velvety with light citrus notes. Perfect for a cold winter day!
This was a gift for my father, and though it is not his top choice it is still up there. It is a good wintery rooibos. Highly recommended.
I was really surprised with how rich this feels
Another engaging wintery warm up. I love having non-caffeine choices for the long, cold afternoons of winter.
I wanted to like this so badly! Alas, it s not my cup of tea so to speak. I did brew for exactly 5 minutes but I think I should have let the water get closer to boiling. For me, I think the nuttiness overpowered any of the other flavors. I m so glad that I tried this seasonal blend. I am not a fan of tree nuts in general, but if you are, then this may be your next favorite blend.
We really enjoyed this one. Very good tea to curl up with.
Transitioned well from being a holiday tea to a winter tea.
This is lovely, it has a good amount of warmth and flavor to make it good for hot tea, cold, maybe not.
My younger brother really seemed to enjoy this and he’s really picky
We love this tea in the evening. It has just the right amount of nutty flavor and still allows the rooibos to come through.
Smells like a really interesting mixture of spices and caramel, but tastes very strongly of hazelnut. A bit confusing to drink.
This blend is WONDERFUL - I hope it's not just a seasonal blend... I'm almost out and getting ready to buy more. Brew 8oz with a heaping teaspoon. I enjoy it with a little bit of creamer or just by itself.
This one I loved as a sample in the store. So far, I have not enjoyed it as much at home
I was in the market for something non-caffeinated and sweet enough to dissuade me from succumbing to late-night dessert cravings. This is wonderful. Smells heavenly out of the bag, and tastes so cozy. I think that 1 tsp = 8 oz water ratio is a little weak here...I usually use 1.5 to 2 tsp of tea per cup of water to give this one a little more backbone. Tiny bit of sugar, tiny bit of milk...dammit, now I want to go make a cup of Nutcracker.
This is a magnificent blend. I think the caramel is the dominant flavor, but I also get some nuttiness and a nice little hint of freshness from the Apple. It's rich and decadent, but not overly so. This is a perfect tea to serve with dessert.
This tea gives a well-rounded nutty flavor and is great to mix with the Mocha Nut Mate.
This tea is great! The hazelnut flavor really comes through well. If this had caffeine in it, this would make a great breakfast tea. Maybe I'll try hazelnut black tea...
Really delicious, flavorful tea. Almost tastes like dessert. Especially great for holidays!
Also confirmed as very good by my South African friends who are quite experienced with rooibos teas. :)
This tastes very similar to their rooibos caramel. That means it tastes good, but I wish I could detect some nuttiness or something different. They both contain caramel flavoring that overpowers everything else. Still tasty, though.
I bought this tea at one of adagio's stores and absolutely love it! It is a seasonal tea, so I am not sure if it stay around long after the holidays. With my purchase, I received a cute tea tin with snowflakes. That was a pleasant surprise. I will have to say however, that the smell of the tea is much more prominent than the taste. The taste is good, but it doesn't have the sameness as the smell. If you stop in a store, make sure to taste this before buying because the smell might deceive you even though the taste is also very good. I actually enjoy the taste very much because it has more of a wellness twist to it instead of the focus being just on flavoring to lure you in.
I'm someone who loves sweet teas, especially if I'm drinking it at night before bed and I want a little indulgence but without the calories. The trace of marshmallows was definitely an added bonus! I definitely would buy this tea again in the future.
I love this one. Very nutty and warm, and none of the flavors overpower each other.
Not only lovely to look upon, but the sweet scent with strong caramel tones is amazing! The flavor is not bitter in the least when brewed up correctly, and it is forgiving with portion size when dishing the leaves. This one is just fun!
What a delicious, fun tea! Will definitely order again.
