This tea tastes weirdly fruity to me, which I was not expecting to be the dominant flavor in it. It does blend nicely with the mint, and is sweet enough on its own that it doesn't need any additional sweetener.
Caffeine-free soul-soothing herbs such as passionflower, lemon balm, and lavender for handling daily stress and emotional support.

Really good! I thought it had a little too much hibiscus to be truly balanced, but I like hibiscus, so I don t really mind. @adagioteas
Tastes good and caffeine free, which is what I need. Not the most overwhelming flavor, I like things pretty strong, but flavorful enough for me.
Nice- but was not what I expected. I think I expected this tea to be more herbal. I would select again- after I finish my stach.
Good mixed it with dragon fruit to get a better more even mix
This is a soothing fruity dream that’s perfect for relaxing after a long day at work. The combination and fruit and spices balance quit well with just a touch of raw honey to add sweetness (I use a teaspoon of adagio’s raw honey for this).
Update: after rounding back up to this tea, I must say that it’s one of those teas where you preference or craving is for this particular flavor profile. All in all, a solid add to my tea collection.
Update: This truly is a keeper and makes for an aromatic cozy cup of tea!
This is very pleasant and relaxing. I think the hibiscus helps all the flavors blend nicely. A little fruity, minty, and floral.
The name of the tea describes how it tastes. A daydream that you don't want to end.
It's a nice non-caffeinated tea. I'm not sure about how well it's helped with my stress but, it's overall not that bad for an herbal tea. The lemon balm is a bit overwhelming.
This is my favorite tea to make strong (two scoops, 10-12 minutes steeping), add a couple sugar rocks, and then dump it over a cup of ice. I also have a Tazo 'iced passion' concentrate that pairs very nicely. @adagioteas
Really enjoyable. I especially liked a small scoop of it added to my normal compliment of Ceylon Sonata to create a subtly floral, but caffeinated, black tea.
This tea is a beautiful reddish color once brewed. The hibiscus provides a floral base with uplifting notes of citrus and mint coming through. It’s a nice cup of tea for the afternoon or evening.
I got this to brew as an iced tea for my husband. It was okay. The batches were inconsistent, though, based on the ratio of what was in each scoop.
Interesting blend. Smells better than it tastes. Would prefer it without the mint. Some cream helps to tone down the bite. Enjoying my sample pouch but won't be re-ordering.
I struggle to describe this tea. Each time I brew a cup, I find a different mix of flavors which range from sour to smooth and subtle, from lavender-predominant to citrus-overpowered. Sometimes I taste nothing but the mint or hibiscus, other times I don t notice them at all. It has sweet undertones even when it brews a bit more sour, and I can t really describe whether longer or shorter steep times impact the experience. I like the pink color and the whimsical concept. Sometimes I like the taste. For an ethereal cup which is as fleeting and difficult to pin down as a dream, this tea hits the mark. Sometimes soothing and sometimes confusing, this tea definitely brings a unique experience. I m just not sure I like the taste as much as the concept. But no matter how many times I drink it, I might never be able to tell with this one.
With so many floral and herbal elements involved, it's hard to discern many of them just from the taste. Peppermint, of course, is there, but not so much that it overpowers the rest. Orange and rooibos are figured out next, but the rest are not so distinct.
Overall, this is a very calming nightcap tea with enough flavor to work just as well in the afternoon as a way to wind down the workday.
I believe I received a tea from a friend that was something similar to this. I ve been looking for something similar and I think this is for sure an amazing substitute.
Bought as a gift for a co-worker/friend. She loved it!
Got to test this one out yesterday, enjoyed it quite a bit. It was relaxing without making me sleepy.
This tea does have a soothing effect and is a good mid-day tea. For me, the taste is average.
It was good, but not amazing. I will probably not buy it again in the future.
Love this tea will by it all the time if you have all the time
Very smooth and well-rounded flavor. I absolutely adore this tea and cannot wait to purchase some more. A little honey really brings out the flavor.
This tea is a literal day dream (aha funny pun)...
Very good tea. Very tasty. Very herbal. Nice. Very very nice tea.
So delicious and soothing. I was surprised with the taste and the texture and how easy it was to drink.
This tea was okay but not my preferred cup of strong tea. This is definitely an evening tea to calm you down after a long day. The hibiscus flower added too much tanginess for me. I love the taste of lemon balm and lavender but not the hibiscus flavor.
I used this as an ice tea. I steeped it in hot water from the tap and let it sit overnight. Then I strained it and put it in the fridge. I love it cold as the fruity flavors tend to stand out more.
The more I drink this tea the more I am enjoying it!
This is a sweet and tasty tea. It really is a daydream! Love it hot and cold.
A nice way to decompress after (or even during) a stressfull day.
The lavender is a lot stronger than all of the other ingredients in this one, for both taste and smell. I can also taste a bit of the lemon balm and peppermint, but not really much of anything else. It does actually taste okay to me, though, which is a bit surprising - I don't usually like even smelling lavender. (I got the sample size because I was curious what a lavender tea would be like, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to drink it.) Maybe the lemon and peppermint are just present enough to make it palatable? Anyway, it's ... 'interesting' is probably a good word. Not exactly 'tasty', but not bad, either. I tried steeping it for longer and shorter times, and I think there's a bit less lavender when I do it for a shorter time; my packet says to steep it for 2-3 minutes but the description on this page says 5-10...?
I love the other flavors because they remind me of a teavana tea - swiss vervain melange- but the hibiscus was too strong in this one. Still looking for that tea! Otherwise the flavors were pleasant but the hibiscus was still too strong.
This is a much fruitier, mellower cup than the ingredient list implies. The rooibos and hibiscus are the most prominent flavors, with a little mint, and the florals are mostly there as a lavender scent. I do wish there was a little more licorice to it.
Still, this was a great, relaxing herbal tea--perfect for sipping while reading. I didn't add any sugar or honey; I felt it was sweet enough without, and there is no bitterness to cut.
My 12 year old niece says it's the best tea she's ever had (and she's had quite a variety)!! It's perfect for after work.
I have this tea at my desk, helps me keep my focus!
Floral and earthly. I added a bit of honey. This was a relaxing cup of tea.
Nice light taste. Great as an afternoon tea, as the name suggests.
Smelled overly floral like potpourri at first, but it brewed up nicely and I enjoyed sipping it lukewarm while painting.
way to potpourri like for me... punch in the face with the florals
This is a calming blend with notes of the licorice peaking through the hibiscus. new to teas but this may not be my fave, though only due to my personal vendetta on licorice!
Love the variety of flavor that this tea brings to the table. Not too heavy of a flavor, and perfect for relaxing with a hot cup (although my husband prefers this iced!)
Basically just a blah tea. It tastes like nothing extraordinary. I even added more than the recommendation and still tasted nothing but barely anything. The list of ingredients sounded so much better than the taste.
This lavender and hibiscus-forward herbal tea is really soothing after a full day of working with children. No need for any sweetener, it's perfect as is.
Really love this blend. I like it in the afternoon or also if I have a stomach ache
The peppermint and hibiscus are most prominent flavors (maybe some hint of lemon balm). I don't really notice orange or licorice. Pretty dark red color.
this was a good blend with the right proportions for a lovely cup
Today's communities packet is a wonderful sounding decaf blend. The packet smells of soothing and healing herbs.
Brewing as an herbal tea was a simple button press on the velociTEA maker. A 7 minute steep time at 212°F produced a pinkish red herbal tisane.
The flavor was expected to be complex with so many herbs, and indeed it was. While warm, the orange and hibiscus start out with a tangy note. This is followed by some earthy herbal milk thistle, sweet licorice root, smooth floral lavender, and leafy yet minty citrus from the lemon balm and peppermint. The finish is a complex mingling of licorice root and minty fresh cooling effect.
I wasn't sure what to think at first, as I'm usually not a huge fan of hibiscus and peppermint tea on their own. However, I do have to say that this one managed to win me over. Somehow the complex mingling and tumbling of herbal flavors balances each other out while still not being too overly tangy from hibiscus or overly minty. I can't detect any of the off-putting fermented mint leaf flavors (usually from those old dead or drying leaves near the bottom of a stalk) that can sometimes make their way into a batch of peppermint tea. If there are any present, the licorice root seems to mask that nicely, or maybe this is a good sample scoop from the batch.
Whatever the case may be with the mint in this sample, it's actually quite good! I am a big fan of herbal and botanical flavors, so this one hits the mark while being very complex yet balanced. Well done Adagio tea blenders!
Decent tea, light and refreshing, very smooth. I’d drink again
Fruity fun tea. There is a lot going on in this tea and everything’s enjoyable.
