Honeybush Apricot
The apricot flavor is very artificial and clashes with the honeybush flavor. Not my favorite flavored honeybush.
-
Pregnancy Tea
This tea is wonderful during pregnancy, especially if you have morning sickness. I like it plain or with a dash of ginger. The flavor is mild and soothing. I wouldn't buy this one for the flavor alone, but considering I could drink this when plain water turned my stomach, I give it a high score for fulfilling it's intended purpose.

Cream Tea
A wonderful tea! The smooth, creamy flavoring really works well with the bitterness of the black tea. It's a rare black tea that I really love! This is also wonderful for blending. Better hot than cold.
-
Honeybush
A delightful woody, faintly sweet tea. It is wonderful on an autumn day. Also excellent as a base for blending. The quality is good at Adagio, but you can find good quality honeybush cheaper elsewhere. Better hot than iced.
-
Gingerbread Spice
Good gingerbread tea. I can taste the ginger and other spices, and a reasonable molasses flavor. I am a huge fan of molasses gingerbread rather than honey gingerbread, so it's a flavor I am always happy to find in tea. Better hot than iced.
-
Peppermint
It's a decent bagged peppermint. It can become a little bitter if steeped too long. I mostly prefer loose leaf peppermint these days. Better hot than iced.
-
Chamomile
A solid bagged chamomile. I buy it in the larger boxes so it is quite inexpensive. I find that I generally prefer the taste of bagged chamomile to loose, which is unusual. Loose tea tends to be fresher and more flavorful, but loose chamomile often tastes unpleasantly grassy to me so I prefer it bagged. Better hot than iced. Great when you are sick or need to relax and unwind.
-
Watermelon Lime Zinger
I really like this one! It tastes strongly of Hibiscus, but the Watermelon and Lime flavors also come through clearly. All the flavors taste good together. Better iced than hot.
-
Raspberry Zinger
I love this one! A strong hibiscus with raspberry candy flavor. One of my favorite Zinger teas. Quite tart. Excellent hot, even better iced.
-
Cinnamon Apple Spice
The first sip is nice, but it becomes sickeningly sweet before you finish the cup. Do not recommend.
-
Caramel Apple Dream
The apple flavor that Celestial Seasonings uses is aweful. It starts out nice enough, a pleasant flavor reminiscent of apple juice or cider, but the longer you sip at it, the sweeter it gets until it becomes absolutely sickening. This occurs even if I remove the teabag when it tastes pleasant to me.
-
Bengal Spice
Incredibly sweet, strong cinnamon flavor. I used to like it alone, but these days find it too sweet. However, it is an excellent tea to combine with almost any chai blend and many fruity blends in a teapot or large mug. Better hot than iced.
-
Tangerine Orange Zinger
One of the best of the Zinger teas, probably tied for first place with Raspberry Zinger. Excellent hot, even better iced.
-
Roastaroma
I really enjoy this tea, which surprised me the first time I tried it because I'm not a coffee drinker. It's a dark, strongly flavored drink, that has some elements in common with coffee, but it's not as bitter and has a little spice to it. I love it with cream and a bit of sweetener.
-
Sour Apple
Strong flavor of hibiscus and sour apple candy. Quite good, though not my favorite apple tea. My husband loves it.
-
True Blueberry
A very good hibiscus tea with artificial grape flavor. Tastes nothing like blueberry, but still very pleasant. Better iced than hot.
-
Honeybush Hazelnut
One of my favorite Adagio teas. great on it's own or in blends. Better hot than iced.
-
Green Rooibos Blueberry
Mild, but has a lovely blueberry flavor. Better with 2 teaspoons of leaf per cup.
-
Mandarin Orange Spice
Not much spice to it, but a wonderful sweet orange flavor. Great on its own or blended with other flavors. Better hot than iced.
-
Honey Vanilla Chamomile
The honey flavor was very artificial. Gave the rest of the box away.
-
Citrus Sunrise
Weak on orange flavor, heavy on citric acid sourness. No one in my family liked it.
-
Red Zinger
My husband and some of the kids really like this one. To me, it has the bold sour taste of hibiscus, with a touch of lemon and herbs to it. It don't love it, but it's definitely drinkable. I like some of Celestial Seasoning's other Zinger teas much better. It tastes better iced than hot. It does do well if you need an extra bag or two to add to a hibiscus tea when you are down to the end of the box and don't have quite enough bags for the pot or pitcher, but I usually keep some loose hibiscus petals around to solve that problem, so if it wasn't my husband's favorite I wouldn't keep it in stock.

Jammin' Lemon Ginger
Great tea, popular with everyone in my family. The lemon is a very pleasant flavor with notes of lemon candy, though the tea is not very sweet on its own. The spice of the ginger is a nice complement, though the ginger can get pretty strong if you leave the teabag sitting in your cup for a while. Best served hot, not nearly as good iced. Great for cold and flu season.

CRANBERRY APPLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
my kids and I really enjoy this one both hot and cold. It is bold, tart, and fruity. It has the distinct tartness of hibiscus, which is where most of the cranberry flavor comes from. The apple flavor is pleasant, and clearly present. One of the better apple teas I have tried. To me, not quite as appealing as Stash's Cinnamon Apple Chamomile when hot, but my kids prefer this, and it definitely makes a better iced tea.
