I have the same problem with this tea as I do with Adagio’s Rooibos Caramel — it smells heavenly, and is smooth to drink, but the vanilla is hardly there. Much to my surprise, I like the Celestial Seasonings vanilla rooibos better, and I’m not a big CS fan. I did get a sample of Upton’s version, too, so hopefully that will be better than either.

drank Honeybush Chocolate by Adagio Teas

I don’t like this tea. The chocolate flavoring makes the honeybush flavor seem far harsher than Adagio’s plain honeybush. And it’s not even that chocolately. Definite thumbs down.

Smooth and creamy as always. Caramel flavor still needs to be stronger, though.

drank Yunnan Gold by Adagio Teas

I’m on my second infusion of this. It’s weaker than the first, and is sadly overwhelmed by the apple I’m eating at the same time. But it still smells lovely, and the first cup was excellent as usual.

This tea makes me happy — bright and malty and good with a touch of milk. Yummy.

Drinking this iced. I made it a little too strong, but it tastes wonderful.

Drinking this iced. It’s still kind of meh for me. My order of Upton Rote Grutze came in this afternoon, though, so I’ll be having GOOD iced tea soon.

Hi there, hope you have a good afternoon so far. I’ve tried tea that has a sort of fruit and fragrance flavor but I can’t seem to get into it with hot water. Does tea like this taste better cold?

I much prefer my fruity teas cold. They’re very refreshing when it’s hot out, and I live in Florida so it’s usually hot out. :)

Drank this about an hour ago, as I wanted something sweet without eating junk food. It hit the spot. This tea is definitely growing on me.

I haven’t had this tea in four days? Shocking. It’s just so good! I’ve been thinking about trying the green leaf version from Upton, just to see how the two compare. Curiosity, I haz it.

Boiling 8 min or more

I’m a thirtysomething college student (psychology major). Love to read and knit.

Tea preferences: I must admit that I’m not big on subtlety. I like my tea strong and for the flavor to whack me upside the head. I enjoy complex teas, but I just don’t have a sensitive enough palate for the subtle. I know, I’m a heathen…
