Considering :
1) This was a depths-of-the-breakroom-cabinet score,
2) The tea has been there since I began working with the company over 2 years ago,
3) The last review for this tea was 6 years ago,
This must be pretty old. I decided to try it anyway.
It’s pretty good. It smells like a fall candle subtly spiced. Sweet chamomile-apple, papery from the teabag, a little cinnamon and very mild clove and cardamom. The sweetness transitions to a perfumey taste mid-mouth followed by a light tang in the back. I’m going to abscond with the rest of the box and put it in the tea drawer in my work corner where it will not gather dust.
For a similar tea, I prefer CuppaGeek’s Spiced Fall Evenings.
Flavors: Apple, Cardamom, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clove, Paper, Perfume, Sweet, Tangy

I have a little Spiced Fall Evenings left, and I am looking forward to the first cup in the rocker on a truly cool evening after a truly cool day. I am glad you absconded with this one!
Ditto. Our truly cool, so they say, is coming next week. But it’s good to know there’s a fallback. Looks like Twinings still carries it … now as to whether I can find it at the grocery store …
I find lots of unusual flavors at Christmas Tree Shops. Do you have one of those, gmathis?
No, that’s a new one on me. Is it one of those seasonal pop-up mall stores that disappear in January?
Oddly, they are year ‘round and don’t just have Christmas things, though they do focus kn carrying lots of seasonal and holiday items. They have doormats, rugs, a bit of furniture, small grocery section (no refrigerated items but crackers, biscotti, soups, and tea), baskets and pet things, health and beauty. Odd store, a bit like a nicer Big Lots if you have those. They have Polish Pottery, too.
Sounds like a place where I could spend all my allowance. We have a brand new large Big Lots, but the tea selection is a disappointment.
In the back of the cupboard, there was another Twinings box full of Chamomile that was dated BB xx/xx/2015. That one, as far as I’m concerned, can be lost with time. But I might as well put it in the tea drawer to see if others will drink it.
Non-teaists probably won’t know the difference :)
I found this at Vitacost online for around 3.50 a box. they sell all kinds of stuff so I have no problem hitting free shipping and it always comes super super fast. Ordered a bunch of stocking stuffers (bath bombs) and a couple of health/beauty items we use and made it easily.
They send a decent number of coupons and often offer free shipping at any price points with the coupon, too.
