Great Tea! Taste just like Elderberry Wine that my Grandfather used to make! Good Iced or Hot
This tea isn't my favorite, but it's not horrible. It's a bit sour but is good with a generous amount of honey. It steeps into a gorgeous red wine color with a tart aroma which is lovely but makes my mouth pucker when I drink it.
Visually, this is a very appealing tea. It's almost like a little pouch of confetti.
But flavourwise, I'm not a fan. I mostly tasted the rosehips, hibiscus, and lemongrass. The webpage says the blend includes raspberries, but I don't recall seeing any in mine (if they were there, they certainly weren't tasted). It's drinkable, but I won't be ordering this one again.
This was a gift for my boyfriend's mom - she drinks a cup of coffee every evening, but gave it up for Lent. I took over a big bag of single-cup portions of tea for her to try (leftovers from missed CommuniTEA days, bonus samples from past orders, etc.) just so she didn't have to forgo her evening tradition. She drank them all and fell in love with this one, and it's perfect for a nighttime cup of tea, since it's decaf!
This one was just alright for me. Also had a not pleasant smell. I know it’s supposed to be really good for you, so I’ll give it another try.
It’s ok? Like, it’s very similar to other fruit teas I’ve had, but it’s nothing memorable unfortunately.
The elderberry Wine is now my favorite!!! I will buy it again. Was surprised, I thought I would make this an iced tea. It is so good, I will use it all up hot , before I get to try it iced.
Love this one! It is exactly as I imagined it, delicate and fruity.
I love this tea! It has a strong berry flavor and it pairs well with a lemony tea for a refreshing pick me up! I think it would also taste nice with almond milk as a warm tea!
Nice sweet flavor. Doesn’t need sugar if you are looking to cut down on your use. Refreshing cold and comforting hot. Enjoy
a very nice spring/summery tea, i have it a few times a week
I can tell I m not meant for deep and rich berry notes. The berry is quite overwhelming, and while I could tone it down with milk and sugar, the qualities of the tea just aren t that enjoyable compared to a lighter tea. @adagioteas
really nice fruity herbal, I really enjoyed it a lot
A bit disappointing.
I love the flavor of elderberry, however the lemongrass is a little overwhelming.
Tasted nice and sweet. I liked it a lot. Will buy again.
Wow, this is great tea. Looking forward to making it into an iced tea this summer.
I can taste the elderberry, but the lemongrass takes a front seat which I don’t like very well. It’s not an aside to adagio. I just don’t like lemongrass. I used to as a child, so at some point as an adult I bought a huge bag of just lemongrass and had to give it to my mother which I’m sad about b/c it’s a relaxing tea.
This is one of my favorites. It is fruity, but more of a berry or pomegranate type fruity as opposed to a sweet fruity. Kind of a complex flavor, but nice to have around. I just wish I didn't drink it so quickly.
Tart and smooth. I enjoyed the flavor best after the tea had cooked halfway.
This was defiantly not my favorite but with some rock sugar of honey it is ok. I love the health benefits of elderberries but sometimes they can taste pretty pungent. This has a hint of that, but adding a little sweetener makes it much better!
Amazing flavor. I highly recommend. Very great fruity flavors.
It definitely tastes flowery ,and has a hint of bitterness but overall pretty good.
The aroma of this tea made me think that it would be too heavy in hibiscus, but I was pleasantly surprised with the first sip. This tea is much smoother than I thought it would be, maybe the berries and the lemon grass help to soothe the tartness from hibiscus and rose hips. @adagioteas
Bright flavor, I got this for my partner as an afternoon iced tea since they can't have caffeine later in the day. They love it!
All around favorite in this house.just really really good.
I really liked this, it’s sweet like berrys . Great with honey, don’t need to steep for a long time
I tried this hot with honey but it might be better iced. Very bright hibiscus with a gingery spicy finish. Kind of like Red Zinger but with spice.
I love this one! It's fruity, but it isn't reminiscent of juice like so many fruit teas seem to be. I think the hibiscus and lemongrass balance out the other ingredients to make this an enjoyable cup when hot or iced.
Usually, I'm the type to finish my teas once I brew them, but my first cup brewing this was overwhelmingly tarty. If you like a lot of hibiscus flavor with a bit of something else, you would probably like this tea blend very much, but it just wasn't the tea for me.
It is good it taste mainly of hibiscus and the hints of elderberry. It’s good and tart.
The lemongrass is more prominent than I thought it would be, which is nice for me since I love lemongrass. My husband likes it slightly less for this reason, but feels like the tangy hibiscus redeems it
A fruity recommendation that proved solid. The elderberry added a darker, richer, blackberry-style fruit flavor to the mix (mostly detectable in the aroma), and the rose hips, raspberry and lemon grass paired well too. A bit strong on the hibiscus side though, that flavor ended up overpowering the name-sake at times.
Elderberry such such medicinal joy! A fantastic treat of healing vibes of Fruity / Tartness!
I was a bit worried that this may be a bit on the sweet side, but it's lovely and tart with just a hint of the fruity sweetness!
This tea had a tasty, soothing elderberry flavor. I'd definitely order this again!
very sweet but tangy love love love this tea will definitely buy it again
It didn't taste like I thought it would. Very berry, sure, but not elderberry. Good with honey, steeps twice without problems.
I'm always on the hunt for yummy and new herbals. I loved the tart and sweet notes from the elderberry.
One of my favorite new purchases. Will purchase this tea again.
This one was pretty tart …. A little too tart for me. I tried it hot but maybe it would be better cold. I will try it again iced during the summer.
Excellent after dinner tea.. the color on the tea is as if you were drinking a glass of red wine
This lovely wine like tea feels as luscious and soft as a mulled wine. Its great hot and a little less robust cold but still quite fantastic.
OK tea, but not a fan of it. Somewhat bland, I won't bother to order more.
This tea brought me back to my childhood and my mom's elderberry jelly. Sweet, tangy and just a bit tart and oh so good. Definitely a keeper.
This is a life saver! Very soothing and comforting anytime but especially when I have a cold! A permanent part of my tea cupboard.
The loose tea smells very floral. It tastes as it smells— very floral and lovely.
Herbal, sweet, and juicy. Wonderful to drink on the porch during a cool autumn day.
The flavor is very good. Not bitter at all. I definitely recommend it!
I found this to be a bit too tart for my liking. I don’t generally like any sweeteners in my tea, but I’ve seen some reviews suggest honey in this tea so I might have to try that for the remainder of this tea
A bit too tart for my taste, but I'll have to try it with honey like another reviewer suggested.
