drank Apple by Lupicia
1759 tasting notes

Well I found my “one” apple tea. I’m kinda sad that it turned out to be from a non Canadian vendor. Darn you Cdn dollar. and shipping!
I’ve seen other notes that say it tastes artificial, and I suppose it does a little but to be honest this is the best apple tea I’ve ever had. Any of those which have no fake notes either don’t taste like apple at all or they do, just not in the way I was looking for.
I added no sugar and it was quite sweet, though not overly so like the David’s Tea version. The base is a bit astringent, which suits the “apple”-ness quite well. Definitely getting some mouth puckering!
You know, I’m a little worried about my rating. It’s the highest of the bunch. Perhaps I’m just easily swayed by unrealistic fruit flavours? Bah.
Sadly though, I only had the one bag as this was from the Lupicia sampler box I bought. Oh well. Hello goodbye wonderful!

Ah boo I just looked on their website and apple black tea isn’t there, unless they didn’t load it into the search tool though I also checked their flavoured black section.
LOL Sil, yes I should do that as well. But I waaaant…

keychange

Ok fine. grrr.

keychange

That sucks! why are all our faves evading us for stupid reasons?

Sil

it’s probably a seasonal – out of stock on the australia version of the site

Indigobloom

@Keychange I know right?! uncool tea vendors, that is uncool!
@Sil that makes sense. Atleast it means I have a chance at snagging some one day!

Ugh I was killed on the exchange rate and shipping for an anniversary gift for my husband. It upped the cost of his gift by $100 :|

Indigobloom

Kristal, Oh wow that is crazy! a lot of money spent for no good reason

Indigobloom

(the extra hundred I mean, I’m sure the gift was awesome!)

Kristal

He loved his Shirts and undies, lol (He’s a tall and big guy and has a hard time finding shirts with the correct length). I just told him he needs to get his passport so we can go to the border next time and pick it up! (The US border is less than an hour drive, and I only have my beginner’s license so I can’t go without him).

Indigobloom

Yeah I have a few friends with that problem. A few ended up going with custom made shirts. Sounds like a fun day trip though

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
