I am trying to “understand” this tea since I have received it from my Swiss friend. She sent me whole box of 20 tea bags, so lots of to explore. She said it is her favourite, so I was looking very forward to it.
It is all organic; clear ingredients – just apple pieces (90 %) and rosemary (10 %). That is something I really like. No sweeteners, no aromas, no flavours.
They suggest 3-5 minutes steeping time, I don´t know how much I did though. Maybe it is closer to 5 than closer to 3. Liquor looks like cloudy apple juice. Aromas – it is quite earthy, herbal, but with sweet notes of ripe apples.
In taste – is earthy as well. Sweetness is close behind in taste profile. It goes well together. Earthy with sweet notes. I never thought it could work. And as rosemary has got quite specific taste profile, it is there as well.
In some kind of conclusion: I have to say that I still don´t “understand” this tea. It is certainly interesting blend, not weak anyhow, but somhow weird. It goes well along (apple and rosemary), but sometimes I think that – apple is too strong; then another sip and oh, rosemary is so strong.
I really can´t explain what is tea about. It is so interesting, buton the other hand it is kinds of weird as well. Maybe I like it because it is so unique?

Hm, that sounds good. Maybe the strength variation in sips between apple and rosemary is because there is not another ingredient in the tea to tie those two flavors together.
Yeah derk – probably you are right :) Certainly interesting tea.
I love rosemary water, i just fill a glass carafe with water and add a few sprigs of rosemary from the garden and let it chill in the fridge for several hours or up to a day. As I drink it, I keep topping up the container. That makes me think I would enjoy a tea with rosemary in it!
ashmanra – maybe I can pick few bags and send them for you :-) including few other teas I have in my stash. I bet I can choose something from you I would like to try :)
