Of the three apple flavored teas that I purchased from Della Terra recently, I think that this is my favorite. I haven’t logged the Spiced Caramel Apple yet because when I had it, I had just finished eating mac and cheese sprinkled with cajun seasoning, so my mouth was still feeling the burn and I couldn’t tell what part of the spice was from the tea. :p I don’t know when/if I will get around to trying that one again as Caramel in tea hasn’t been a favorite yet, but anyhow. . .back to the tea of this post:
Can’t go wrong with “classics” Smells and tastes like apple, not excessively artificial and no detectable flavored-tea aftertaste. Odd enough, I don’t actually like Apple pie. In fact, I don’t like any fruit pies. The texture of soggy extra-sweetened fruits covered in sticky fruit residue always grosses me out. I have a huuuuge texture issue with foods. I love the smell of apple pies baking and as far as slimy fruit goes, apples are more tolerable than berries. Well, so, my point is, this tea is a rare case of liking the tea better than the food it imitates. In fact, I think this would have to be the first case. As much as I love the attempt of teas imitating desserts, they never compare to the real thing in any way other than for health benefits :)
