Fall teas! Fall teas! I went for the usual refilling of the tin and was pleasantly surprised by several new and old teas. Gave Pumpkin Chai a miss because I still have pleeeenty of that from last season..
Now here Owlie has to confess. While Rooibos is her nemesis of the tea world, Green teas… are finicky. Sometimes the bitterness goes well. Other times she finds it tastes rather like… hot leaf juice, cry pardon. She read the reviews on this one however, and was excited to try it. Green tea or no green tea, Owlie was hyped. She sniffed at the tea tin on the counter.
Apples… spice… pie crust? A hint of caramel? PIE CRUST?
Sold. Utterly sold.
Upon steeping, the aroma of hot, juicy apples bathed in cinnamon wafter up from the teacup. Most of the “Green tea bitterness” washed in at first leaving room for the apples to slowly appear afterwards. And strangely.. it works. It really tastes like apple pie. Overall, this owl was thoroughly impressed and converted. After the tragic end of the love affair with Copabanana, she needed something to get over that summer fling.
