Apple Strudel

Ugh, that’s all it is, anyway.

Another one that had potential.

:(

How did you prepare this tea to find amazing?

Less than boiling (not sure how much, but it’s the same as every flavored tea I steep), and about 3 minutes. On my phone or I’d have put it in the proper place. :)

Thank you, MissB. I will steep again. So far, it has not been amazing for me. But I haven’t given up completely yet.

How come you rated it a 73?

This one didn’t really do it for me. Am I missing something? Did you add anything to it? Did you use cooler water? What am I missing?

I used 200F water and didn’t add anything. It worked best at that temp for 3:30

Thank you. I will give that a go the next time I try.

Yeah, this tea is a disappointment. Currently drinking Apple Custard with milk and there’s no comparison.

I wonder if maybe Apple Strudel would work if brewed strong and served with milk? Because the four times that I’ve made it so far, it’s been hopeless. Perhaps I gave it too light a touch?

Yeah, milk seems to make this one a lot more tolerable. And I too prefer Apple Custard.

Apple Custard is much better. I’ve been using a tablespoon of Apple Strudel per 16oz of water and adding a teaspoon of sugar and some milk. It seems to help, but this isn’t really a tea that’s good on it’s own. Too bad, too – I was excited for this one.

Maybe even a bit of cream.

Yes, me too. I had rather high hopes for this one. Dashed.

I figure if I want the tea to be a bit sweeter, I can add my own darn sweetener!

haha why do they do that indeed…

I just picked this up today and didn’t notice til I got it home that it had stevia in it. Sigh…I’ll give it a try. Lucky I only got 10g and I can look at passing this on to a friend if i don’t like it.

Haha, I was just saying to Fay on steepster here about how DAVIDs has been constantly putting out new, limited edition teas to suck me back into to buying more tea when I don’t need it. Luckily, I’m good for dessert teas right now + haven’t been having them as much, so I’m safe for now ;)

One is never truly safe from tea. I’ve been trying to limit myself to trying new teas in stores (my mom and I tend to go before my dance class on Thursdays). It’s not very cost effective, but it’s better than buying a sample of every tea that comes out when I already have an overflowing cupboard. I’ll probably try this one next week.

Dessert teas aren’t my favourite, either, so buying a lot of these won’t be a problem. I just seem to want to try ALL OF THE TEA that DAVIDs puts out, haha.

raven22, I feel you! That was me for the longest time. I did, however, have to try ALL of the feel good collection + their tea of the month for January. February is right around the corner, so depending on the ingredients list that tea of the month may need to be tried out as well. Luckily, within the past week I’ve used up about 5 different types of tea + I’m one cup away from using up another I’ve been trying to get rid of for forever. So that make’s me feel good ;)

Fay, I absolutely agree that no one is safe! Haha. And whatever works for you for trying to keep your cupboard at a minimum. I must admit, I only occasionally actually go into DAVIDs or other stores for tea so I do buy small samples of stuff when I am interested in a tea. I’m at the point where I’m hesitant to commit to buying 50g+ of tea cause I’m trying not to let any of them sit for more than a year. I find work is an awesome place to use up stuff I’m kind of “meh” about ;)

I’m making a lot of iced tea lately, so I’m using up a lot of the teas I purchased over the summer but never got around to using. That’s taking care of a lot of the stash, but I still have soooo much to weed through, LOL
