Received this one in round 2 of the Secret Pumpkin swap from Darby.

The smell of the dry tea is very much like apple cider.

The brewed tea initially tastes quite like apple cider. There is a strong apple taste, its sweet and sour at the same time. I am also getting mulling spices. It doesn’t taste much like tea at all. But sadly, as the tea cools, it looses all of the apple taste. It almost seems like the apple flavour was all sitting on top of the cup and I drank it all in the first sips. The rest of the cup tastes mostly like black tea with lots of cinnamon, there is a very slight apple flavour.

I enjoyed the first few sips but not so much after that.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
