Our Rooibos Pecan Turtle, like its namesake, is blended with the smooth rich flavors you know and love. The sweetness of chocolate and caramel are beautifully rounded off with the nuttiness of pecan, brewing up to a wonderfully complex cup that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. A lovely caffeine-free tisane ideal as a late-night treat.

I definitely get the pecan turtle notes in this blend. Tastes great on its own without any additions.

Pleasant sweet nutty aroma with the woody rooibos. 5 min @ 212. The nuttiness hides any chocolate to me. The slight sweetness leans more towards caramel as it cools. Resteep 10 min @ 212 is mostly rooibos with a hint of nuts. I love rooibos so I enjoyed this blend, although I prefer rooibos Nutcracker.

This is good but tastes like pretty much every other rooibos - sweet and woody. Maybe this one's a tad nutty but mostly just tastes like a plain rooibos. Still good, just not incredible.

The dry tea smells a bit like wood; once brewing, it becomes very cinnamon apple forward. Overall, a lovely flavor considering I don't actually like pecan. The tea is a delicious nutty candy with a just enough cinnamon to give a light tickle at the back of the throat. My husband tried a sip from my single serve portion and loved it. We'll probably get a bag to share later down the road.

The chocolate, caramel and pecan blend extremely well. Came from the honeybush & rooibos portions package. Nice selection of different teas. Consider picking one up.

Not bad for a Rooibos. Normally I find them bland but this one had a bit more flavor.

Rooibos doesn't really make as much sense in this blend as a black tea would--or better yet, a toasty oolong. However, I do really enjoy this nutty tisane more than other nutty teas I've had in the past. I tried it again recently and don't adore it as much as I did upon first taste. Oh, well, it's still good!

I think I would like this better on a black base. Rooibos doesn't do it for me; there's a woody quality to it that reminds me of the way pencil shavings smell.

This is one of the better tasting red rooibos teas that there is. The flavor of nuts, caramel, and chocolate are almost strong enough to drown out the red rooibos tea taste, but not completely!

This is a delicious treat tea! Perfect at the holidays or any time of year!

I love this tea. Smells so good and tastes wonderful! Nice woodsy taste with sweet banana nut/cinnamon goodness! One of my favorites!

I loved this one. It tasted like a caramel-y dessert, and yet it wasn't too sweet. It was just the right amount of that flavor. I received it in the Advent calendar.

Too sweet for me but I can see how some people may enjoy it as a replacement for a soda or sweet tea

I love this tea's nutty flavor and it even tastes good without sweetener

We tried this with our twelve days of Christmas teas! I don't like rooibos at all, but this is okay. It definitely has that "rancid" flavor I always associate with rooibos. I wouldn't buy it for me, but the kids really loved it!

Janet Clift
A favorite tea for a warm, earthy flavor that is subtly sweet and soothing. This tea is a smooth blend and definitely carries a caramel flavor

The Pecan Turtle part of the tea is good and I like that part of the flavor. But I think I don't like the way Rooibos teas in general taste, I'm more of a black or green tea person. Has a weird flavor and aftertaste to me, which again is probably the Rooibos.

Caramelly goodness in a cup, the lack of caffeine makes it perfect for a midnight craving for sweets. As for the sweetness, its satisfying and not overwhelming

A perfectly desserty blend to end a long day with, the sweet and smooth caramel with the light chocolate flavor combined with the soft pecan flavor just makes for the perfect dessert blend.

Chocolate, caramel, and pecans in one delicious cup of tea. The aroma is like a pecan pie fresh out of the oven. And the taste isn't far off! The pecan flavor takes center stage in this tea. A little sweetener brings out the chocolate and caramel. Truly a tea to savor.

Best rooibos I've had! Flavorful, strong aftertaste. Reminds me a bit of brown sugar boba.

The desserty flavors are wonderful, but it can't mask that rooibos completely. You get a sip of yummy chocolate, caramel and pecan, and then there's an aftertaste of sawdust. It'd be much better on a different base.

I've never been a big fan of Turtle chocolates, but this tea has managed to bring the gap! Slightly sweet, slightly nutty--in that earthy, dark brown way--with a hint of salt and occasionally a strand of caramel in the aftertaste. You can't over-steep it, making it the perfect, hassle-free, evening blend for your sweet tooth cravings. A bit of brown sugar brings the flavor out further.

Another one I purchase all the time. I buy it in the largest size available as it's a favorite. I wish I could buy it it a 5 lb size.

When I opened the bag I made a sound. The smell is heavenly and I just had to try a cup straight away. I waited impatiently for my kettle to boil and then again for the tea to steep. This tea is my new evening go-to. I was worried the chocolate flavor would be too strong but I can definitely taste the pecan and caramel flavors with just enough hint of chocolate. I am glad I ordered the 3oz because I feel like I will be drinking a lot of this tea :) I had to interrupt my research paper to leave a review!

As someone who doesn't care for red rooibos, this was actually surprising in a good way. The roobios blends well with the nutty, caramel flavors - which are really the only two flavors I can distinguish. I don't taste any chocolate. I usually drink tea plain, but I did find I liked this better with a bit of sweetener and cream.

Smells amazing and tastes quite good too. It has a general nutty flavor rather than a distinct pecan taste to me.

This was the tea that got me into loose leaf. I thought I was done with tea until someone gifted me an assortment. Rooibos Pecan Turtle has the sweetness of rooibos, the nuttiness of pecan, and a touch of chocolate and caramel. This is everything I want from a dessert tea.

One of my favorite teas for sure. The nuttiness and earthy flavors from the rooibos work fantastically with the pecan flavoring. The chocolate and caramel flavors are strong, and pair nicely. This is delicious hot, and even more delicious iced on a hot summer day.

I generally don't like rooibos, but this is the second rooibos from Adagio that I have loved! Nice sweet after dinner dessert tea.

More like a butter pecan than a pecan turtle. I had mine with cream and sugar and it tasted even more like an ice cream. I bet this would be awesome as an iced latte.

I really enjoyed the lovely pecan taste of this with hints of chocolate and caramel

Sweet tea with a little aftertaste beyond the perceived pecan and caramel taste. Not bad, but VERY sweet. Smells amazing ,though.
