This blend is inspired by the classic New Mexican pastry: the empanada! It is the perfect dessert-like blend for colder weather and is a great overall wellness booster.

This is from my last order, but apparently I never wrote a note for it, so here we are.

I quite like cinnamon apple honeybush blends, there was one from New Moon Tea Co that I loved, but they don’t seem to make it anymore. This is a lovely substitute though. The cinnamon is the stronger flavor, but I can taste sweet apple as well. I like that the cinnamon mostly tastes natural, though there is a little touch of cinnamon candy that comes through in the finish. The honeybush base is woody and nutty and just so cozy paired with these flavors. I don’t taste the rooibos, which I’m not displeased about lol.

Yummy tea! This one might become a cupboard staple for me, and certainly so in the cooler months. I wouldn’t mind just a touch more apple, but still a wonderful tea as-is.

Thanks to AJRimmer, I’m having a little caffeine-free break from chores. Her original tasting note for Apple Empanda captures every mental note I was making to set down here. The apple and cinnamon mesh nicely with honeybush, the honeybush adds a nice little caramelly note, but I kept hunting and hunting for the crust. Not being a blender, I don’t know how difficult it is to replicate pastry, but teas that do so accurately are hard to find.

That said, this was still really pleasant, better with a snoodge of lemon pie and a piece of marzipan … we did a Branson holiday run yesterday and went just a tad overboard at Kilwin’s confectioners. (More shopping overkill confessions to follow.)

I don’t usually choose apple teas, but this one smelled so good I just had to get it! The flavor is a little thinner than I’d prefer. I definitely get spicy cinnamon and a good amount of apple. Maybe there’s some ginger in there as well. I don’t get any pastry element to it. I think it tastes better cooled to room temperature. It gains some body somehow that way. I’m enjoying this, but I do feel like it needs a little something extra to tie it all together.
