Honeybush Banana Nut from Adagio Teas

Style: Honeybush – Region: ?????

86 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2020

Prep: 2 tsp, 16oz, 212F, 5min

The aroma of this dry tea is mind blowing. I honestly believe this could be a dehydrated banana nut muffin in a bag.

Aroma:after brewing, this still very much smells like a banana nut muffin. It’s crazy how well it hits all those notes. 10/10

Taste: There is a bit of a honey...

Honeybush (Bushmen's Brew) from Numi Organic Tea

Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa

84 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 2nd, 2017

Pulling this bag out at random from the continuing multi-chapter saga that is the Numi variety pack, I recognized the name right away from having consumed Trader Joe's rooibos+honeybush tea. The teas I've tried from the variety pack so far have been either disappointingly lame or very good. This falls into the latter...

Honeybush (Bushmen's Brew) from Numi Organic Tea

This actually reminded me a lot of black tea, which was surprising. I actually tasted a little bitterness, though I'm not sure where that came from as there is no caffeine in this tea.

If a caffeine free latte sounds good to you, this tea is pretty solid. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it wasn't bad.

Honeybush Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf

Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa

Aug. 7th, 2014

The aroma of the dry leaves is woody, sweet, and a little bit sour. It reminds me a bit of sour cherries and melons with a touch of dried bamboo wood and hay

The taste is woody and caramel sweet at first, this fades to a nice dried fruit sourness, again the idea of sour cherries pops to my mind. Honeybush is very mu...

If it weren't for the honey I used to sweeten this tea, it would taste like hot leaves. Literally all you are buying is mildly-honey-flavored leaves.

I tried this one evening since it is a caffeine-free Numi option. It is not a true tea, but a tisane of a shrub variety related to rooibos. Now I really love rooibos, but this, to me, was even better, and I am definitely going to buy more, I liked it that much!

Here is a robust, comforting, and revitalizing liquor ...

I'm not passionate about this tea. It was mild and pleasant, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again. Overall, I love this company. They have great teas.

Organic Honeybush Herbal Tea from Stash Tea

Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa

57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 31st, 2011

Aroma strongly peppery, much more so than a typical honeybush. Only slightly fruity. Very flavorful: a rich flavor with some bite, more like black tea, but with a smoother aftertaste. Mild, earthy finish.

Relatively simple and staightforward, but pleasing. Above-average for the quality I'd expect from a teabag.

May. 6th, 2010

Very fruity, but not in an overwhelmingly sweet way. The aroma has a hint of floral and citrusy qualities, and less of the peppery quality that Upton's BA28 has. Very full-bodied. Interestingly, the color of the liquor is slightly lighter than other honeybushes. Pleasantly sweet aftertaste.

By far the best honey...

This tea has an ineffable something I find difficult to articulate. Blossomy, subtly sweet, yet complex in flavor. Would love to drink more.

The dry leaves have a fruitier aroma than the brewed tea, which is almost totally devoid of fruitiness, and is more earthy and slightly spicy. Tones of black pepper in the aroma.

Very full-bodied. Aftertaste is a bit flat. Not terribly complex in the aroma, but still enjoyable. I prefer Adagio's honeybush, which...

Honeybush from Adagio Teas

Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa

63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 30th, 2009

Very sweet and fruity; this is without a doubt the sweetest and fruitiest honeybush I've ever tried. Almost candy-like, with an aroma like dried fruit. Less of the earthy or straw-like tones that I was expected.

A bit light and thin-bodied, however. Less rich than other honeybush I've tried.

I'm still not sure...

Sep. 12th, 2009

I find this tea very hard to describe in words.

The aroma of this tea is very similar to that of regular (fermented) honeybush, although perhaps a bit lighter: it is warm and rich, similar to Rooibos but less grassy. The flavor has some crispness but not much bitterness. There's little sourness in the initial flav...
