Reading the other reviews, I feel like a lot of people have missed the point of this tea, mislead by the "honey" part of honeybush. Though sweeter than a rooibos, it is not a sweet tea by itself, especially when using real vanilla beans rather than an artificial extract. It's a wonderful disgestive tea on its own and steadies a lot of other teas heavy on spice. Try it with the Matevana and Peppermint and two scoops of rock cane sugar - like drinking a cookie, a recommended concoction for migraines. Honeybush is also good for pregnant/lactating and menopausal women, in addition to its advertised benefits as an expectorant (clearing the lungs). Do not brew this longer than 5-6 minutes. That works for fruity herbals, but honeybush is actual plant leaves. I hope the negative reviewers give this a second chance.

I should preface this by saying that I don't like anything very sweet and love unflavored teas, so perhaps that's part of why I do not love this tea. I love vanilla tea, but I hardly tasted the vanilla in this. The honey was overpowering and too sweet for me, and it had a very long sweet aftertaste. The smell is wonderful though. After trying it alone, I mixed it with Silver Needle white tea. That was better as it toned down the sweetness and honey. Next I'll try mixing it with a bolder unflavored tea like black or oolong. Overall, this tea is okay. If you are looking for a tea with a strong vanilla taste then this is not it.

    Comments about Teavana Honeybush Vanilla Herbal Tea:

    I love vanilla and sweeter/dessert teas. I think this tea is mild enough to drink anytime during the day, but if you add extra leaves it can also be a great dessert tea and won't weaken too much with milk. I personally use some agave with it, but you certainly don't need any extra sweetener. Lovely and tasty!

        This tea isn't necessarily sweet, but it does hint at sweetness. I think the vanilla tricks my brain into thinking it's sweet. It's lovely and slightly fruity like a dark honey. I steep this in boiling water for 6 minutes.

        This tea has a very strong aroma of vanilla, so I expected the tea to be very strong in vanilla as well, but it was not. The vanilla taste is very light, but if you add some sugar and milk it tastes great! I am sure other additions to the tea would make it great as well, but not a stand alone tea.

          Let me tell you first, that I HATE tea. No matter how many I've tried, I've never been able to drink it. There has always been a bitter after-taste I just couldn't stand. But, I've always wanted to drink it for health reasons and as a Coke drinker, I've wanted to break that habit by replacing it with tea.

          I'm so glad I found this tea. It's smoooooth, easy to drink, very comforting, and leaves no after-taste.

            Comments about Teavana Honeybush Vanilla Herbal Tea:

            I got this a few days ago, and it was the first tea I tried in my new Perfect TeaMaker. The first thing I noticed about the tea was the scent of the vanilla, which made me worry that it would be overpowering. But the vanilla take a back seat in the flavor, making the tea quite enjoyable. While the vanilla flavor is weak, I do not find this to be a bad thing, as it makes a nice base to try experimenting different mixes of tea. I tried this tea with some jasmine tea I have, and they went together quite well (for my tastes at least). The only downside I see in this tea is that it is not completely satisfying as a standalone tea, but that's one of those either/or things. Either it is good by itself, or it is good in a mixture.

            I was a little hesitant to try this at first. I prefer strong black teas and have recently been converted to Mate as well; however, this tea has got to be the best herbal tea I have ever smelled/tasted. It has such a strong sweet smell and when brewed hot it has a light taste of vanilla. I suggest adding more tea than recommended because it is a little weak, but the flavor profile is so fantastic I must purchase again.

              This is one of my favorite teas from TEAVANA so far. Combined with milk and rock sugar, this is a delicious tea that has a creamy, warm, sweet taste that lasts. You don't even have to add a lot of sugar to it to make it delicious.

              The smell is beautiful and has the same sweet smoothness as the taste does, but the smell isn't particularly strong. The taste isn't overpowering, either, and that's good: the sweetness is mellow, the creaminess (with a type of milk) is perfect.

              I'd highly recommend this tea! It tastes like sort of a miniature dessert. I was very happy with this tea :). I have nothing bad to say about it. It delivers!
