Honeybush Apricot

Quite a lovely, sweet tea. Perfect in the evening, when I can’t have caffeine.

Smells fantastic. The fruit flavour is a little too mild. It goes great with the rooibos peach.

This was the first time I had ever tried a Honeybush tea, and I’m pretty impressed. The apricot was lightly sweet and not artificial-tasting at all. The fact that it doesn’t have caffeine is just an added bonus!

Love this tea. Nice mild honeybush with a vibrant apricot taste. Perfectly balanced, and you can’t oversteep it.

This came free with my last order from Adagio. It took me a long time to try it because I’m not really a fan of Honeybush teas. This one surprised me, its a very sweet mild tea and it probably the first Honeybush that I’ve enjoyed.

Maybe I don’t like honeybush as much as I used to because all of the ones I’ve tried lately have seemed really wood-y flavor wise. Or do they get more woody with time? All of my honeybush teas are pretty old, which is why I’m trying to go through them. Either way, I was not loving this like I hoped I would.

Honeybush Apricot comes off to me as having a very light taste that like most herbals reminds me a bit more of juice than tea. Has a light sweet and fruity flavor to it but it is not my favorite flavor. Although my grandmother loved it so much that I gave her the rest of the sample to take home with her.

Now that’s what I call a cup of “meh.” The smell of the dry leaves was divinely apricot – I might just keep a sample tin for that smell. Tearomatherapy?

There was a ton of “dust” in my cup unlike the Honeybush Mango. There wasn’t much of a fragrance to the tea itself. The taste was not apricot. It really didn’t have much of a taste. I’m really wondering if I used enough tea chippies? I used more than I usually do for the Honeybush Mango, but I’ll try even more next time. So my rating may change, but for now it’s a big ’ole M.

Smell as you open the tin and brew it is wonderful. On that note, I can’t even remember the last time I had an apricot, if I’ve ever had one before, so I don’t know if the taste is correct or not. XD Yeah, not helpful, I know. But definitely a strong fruit flavor, and very mild compared to my usual preference of ‘spicy’ teas.

Rich and sweet perfection

honeybush – apricot – roobios: three very sweet flavors had me worried that this tea might be too sweet, but once steeped, its a perfect combination, and a surprisingly mild flavor. it has great aroma too. i give it the thumbs up.

A wonderful, not overly sweet, refreshing treat.

I loved this when I first tried it months ago, and it’s still tasty. Not as great as I remembered, but I love the very vibrant dried apricot taste.

You can sure smell the Apricot prior to steeping. While steeping you can almost smell what seems to be a hint of chocolate even tho I know it’s not…and maybe even a very little bit of fresh wood or bark even…but just a pinch. After Steeping it’s more of a earthy and apricot-esque smell. Nice. The coloring is a rich reddish-brown. The taste is a great blend of Honeybush and Apricot – neither too overpowering. Very pure tasting.

Double cup, 4 raw sugar.
