Just now trying this sample from Rachel’s sale.. thanks so much! These have been standing up to their age very well. They are tasty and I can’t imagine them being tastier when they were just blended! The dry blend here has plenty of cinnamon and apples… AND it smells like cider already!
Steep #1 // just boiled // 2-3 min
Steeped the color of the cup is a reddish light brown. Somehow the flavor actually reminds me of cantaloupe at the top of the cup… then the apple slowly takes over. Some apple teas are terrible but this one is definitely authentic apple. The apple in the infuser looks like apple I just cut apart and threw in the infuser. The cinnamon is very nice & sweet. The black tea base is perfect with the flavors.
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 min
The apple flavor is stronger now.. whatever the cantaloupe flavor was is gone now. The cinnamon is stronger too. This cup is definitely the tea most like apple cider that I’ve ever tried. I love this one — it’d definitely be one of my favorite apple teas.
