This one is a little more subtle. I like it, but I do need to sweeten it.

This one is a little more subtle. I like it, but I do need to sweeten it.
I didn't taste pecans, caramel or chocolate. I picked up notes of licorice and tobacco, which weren't unpleasant, and which I attribute to the rooibos, but it wasn't anything like I anticipated.
I really like this tea.
To me it only slightly tastes like pecan turtles. However, I really like this.
Especially since it has no caffeine I can have some in the evening. Making this a great after dinner dessert tea.
This is my favorite of the rooibos teas offered by Adagio. It's so yummy and sweet it feels like cheating on your diet. The fact that it's caffeine-free makes it a wonderful nighttime tea.
The pecan turtle flavor here is similar enough to adagio’s rooibos nutcracker that I can picture myself using it as an easy replacement to get through the months when rooibos nutcracker isn’t available. Not an exact match, of course, but enjoyably sweet all the same. I like it hot with a bit of sugar, but I think it would be good with honey as well, maybe even some cream.
The absolute BEST tea to enjoy after dinner as I’m relaxing. It makes me feel like I’m enjoying a decadent dessert but I’m actually just enjoying a cup of tea!!
So far, this is my favorite of all of the teas I've tried here. I love pecan so much and this just brings it all in. It's just the right amount of sweet and nutty with that chocolate tone to it. So delicious. Even the scent of this tea makes me happy!
I love having this tea as an option in my cupboard! It hits my sweet tooth without all the extra guilt. I purchased this and other peach flavors after trying them as samples.
This tea smells absolutely wonderful and the taste lives up to the smell. Sometime a blend will smell divine but taste like a ghost of the promise the fragrance imparts. Not so here. This was great plain. I ordered the sample but this will be a bigger bag purchase soon. 212F for 5 minutes.
This smells so good and tastes even better. It is like dessert in a cup. I highly recommend this tea. Perfect for fall.
The first note you get is a deep, rich caramel, and that's great. Next is a slight cocoa flavor, and the finish is remarkably like pecan. It really is like a Willy-Wonka style experience where you can taste the layers of flavor and get the overall experience of having a pecan turtle. So fun and such a good drink before bed as a little 'dessert'
Very nice dessert tea! Not too heavy and has the right nutty flavor. I was enjoying blending it with caramel black or rooibos for extra sweetness.
This tea was so great, not too sweet and had a great flavor.
This is awesome at the end of the night when the kids go to bed. Sweet treat
Received this blend as a sample size recently and hurried back to stock up! This blend is the perfect combo of decadent milk chocolate, velvety caramel, and scrumptious pecan (it actually tastes like DeMet’s Chocolate Turtles in a cup). This tea checks all the delectable flavor boxes and gets 2 giant thumbs up from hubby and I.
Perfect for a latte. Good with a small amount of brown or plain sugar and little flaxmilk. A subtle nutty, almost caramel flavor.
Absolutely my favorite tea, ever! Like drinking a latte without all the caffeine and sugar!
The pecan flavor is the strongest note in there, aside from the rooibos itself. It is more like drinking a pecan pie than drinking a pecan turtle pie, but I'll take it. (Cold brewed for 10 hours)
Very good dessert yea to have after dinner. Calms my sweet tooth
This tea evokes all the scents and flavors of a pecan turtle sundae but in the warmth of a tea.
I'm not sure why we are calling this tea. This is just a tasty dessert in a cup. Especially with a little coconut milk and sugar. Really comforting!
Not a fan of this one. It smells great, but the taste turns medicinal at the finish. At least to me.
One of my favorites. Love adding just a hint if cardamom and Honey for a sweet retreat.
A wonderful, flavorful tea with no caffeine! I love this one.
It's good, but I'm beginning to realize that I don't love dessert teas like I once did.
A sweet, nutty tea. If you don’t like red teas, this one doesn’t taste anything like red tea.
Delicious! Smells great and taste sweet and nutty.
Sweeter tea with a fantastic taste. Very smooth.
Not my favorite tea from Adagio, but still pretty good. I tasted this in their Christmas sampler and I loved it, but for some reason I'm not as big of a fan once I got the full size. It has a taste to it that's a bit off, but it honestly might the water I'm using (it's a little sus). Otherwise, I do appreciate how warm and cozy this flavor is!
I love this tea! So delicious and satisfies a sweet craving. Yum!
Among many products Adagio offers, rooibos Pecan and nutcracker are hands-down most liked by my church ladies. I offered them at the gatherings, and those two almost always get the compliments.
Amazing. My little nephew loves honeybush banana and I wanted to give him something new to try. This was perfection chocolaty and nutty and so delicious. We actually put a splash of warmed sugar free hazelnut cream in it and that really made a rich flavorful cup. We really enjoyed it. Love that it's caffeine free so I can share with the kids.
This tea is absolutely incredible. I seriously love everything about it. Beautifully balanced, perfectly sweet, a really enjoyable cup!
Deep caramel and pecan flavor. A perfect late night dessert tea with milk and sugar.
Really complex flavor. Bit of sweetness and dessert feeling.
Bit of a surprisingly sweet tea, but still really great! Very much something I like to enjoy for a dessert tea or in the evening when I'm craving sweet. I do prefer this with some milk or cream to mellow out the sweetness a bit.
This is a nice dessert tea-- not quite as good as an actual piece of candy, but close!
An already sweet tea, I add stevia to elevate it out to an of this world treat.
I’m not normally a fan of rooibos, but I tried a sampler of this one and fell in love. It’s smooth and yummy. Perfect in the afternoons when you have a sweet tooth.
Oh my goodness, I love this tea! It’s just like having a chocolate turtle without the calories. I first tried it with the CommuniTEA group, and placed an order for a bag of it with my next shipment. It feels like a real splurge, and it’s always a treat.
I love this tea! I particularly like to have it on cool evenings. It's almost like dessert and I don't even use sweetener in it.
This was a pleasant surprise. I tend to prefer my Rooibos teas to be more acidic, but this was nice and not cloying.
Bus of chocolate and hints of Carmel make this yummy
one of my favorite teas during the winter! very nutty and the flavor is so nice.
A new favorite! I love teas with notes of chocolate!
the first time i tired it i wasn't sold but iv grown to love it really recommend
update!! i love it sooo much it is great with some breakfast or a spooky horror movie night i highly recommend
I really enjoyed this tea. The flavors go well together and make for a perfect cozy tea.
One of my first teas i tried, definitely worth every penny!
We love this one! Nutty and sweet, warm and cozy. :)
AMAZING - like drinking a dessert. The pecan flavor is incredible and I love that we can have this before bed without the caffeine.
