Confession, this is my first Honeybush. I really didn’t know what to expect since I have read that they tend to taste like wood. Thankfully, this one does not.
The dry leaf smell was strongly citrus, almost in a bad way and I am a citrus lover. But the tea itself is mellow and has no artificial taste at all.
I do wish that 52teas would put brewing suggestions on the bags. I went with just boiling and a 10 minute steep since I wanted a strong flavor and read that you can’t oversteep this. Hot, the tea was nice, but the flavors came out more once it began to cool. It is almost completely cool now and I really like the orange flavor (not getting much pineapple).
It’s nice to have a few around with no caffeine so I can drink them before bed, and it’s nice to have an option that doesn’t involve chamomile.
Sooooo these little slider thingies don’t work on the iPad. I did 2t to 11oz for 10.
It is nice to have nighttime teas without chamomile, even though I adore chamomile.
