Hello communiTEA drinkers,

Today we have Honeybush Orange!

A juicy cup of herbal sunshine, sweet and refreshing like freshly squeezed OJ. The orange flavor balances the honey sweetness.

What do you think- are you ditching your morning orange juice?

Like drinking a cup of orange juice minus the calories. A perfect addition to any morning routine.

I was expecting orange and I got what? I didn't detect much if any orange. I didn't like this tea at all. The mouthfeel was slick and it had a slight taste of soured tea. I took a few sips and poured it out. It just tasted off. I will not be buying it.

it smells beautifully and aggressively orange, but once brewed it mellows into a very mild orange taste. It's a nice little pick me up, i'm a fan!

This is why I love the CommuniTEA experience.
I would have never bought this Honeybush Orange Tea, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. It is very light, florally, sweet citrusy. I get more the Orange Peel taste than the fruit itself.
Very nice refreshing tea, I'm sure this would be nice cold as well!

This is the second honeybush tea I've gotten in the CommuniTEA samples. Both have been flavored, so it's hard to be certain, but I think I like honeybush. At the very least, I like it a lot more than rooibos. It seems to be pretty subtle, with a flavor that is similar to underbrewed black tea. I look forward to trying a few more samples in order to figure out exactly how I feel about it.

This tea has a very strong orange bouquet, but the orange flavor in the plain tea is very mild. Also, it has a very dry mouthfeel.

However, adding a bit of sugar brought the orange flavor to the foreground, and eliminated the dry mouthfeel.

I definitely recommend this tea, but I also recommend you add a little sugar.
