I’m not quite sure about this one. One sip I enjoy it, and the next I don’t. It smells of apples and that grassiness I love with green teas. The taste is quite bitter on the tongue the moment you sip, but it disappears quickly. Crisp, fruity undertones of apples and pears with a slightly burnt note from the caramel. I enjoyed the fact that this tea basically tasted like Autumn. Not in the apple pie and cinnamon way, but the wet leaves and rain way. And I mean that in the best way. It brings back memories of apple picking in the soggy, leaf stricken ground and warm sweaters! Overall it was an ok tea, but I wouldn’t drink it on a daily basis due to the bitterness!
2 down – 498 to go!
I had a very similar (or the same) blend from Necessiteas quite a while ago, and it tasted worse than the vilest of medicines. I guess this might be a universal problem with this blend?
hmmm I fear you are right, as I’ve been struggling to find an apple tea I enjoy as well, no matter the base!
The Candy Apple black from Adagio is terrible as well, though now I’ll be slipping some into your package when I get around to sending it. Not that there’s any rush right now, though >.<. I just want my permanent resident card!
