Okanagan Apple Spice from Tillicum Valley Tea Co
60

As much as I want to like this tea because of its tasty apple flavour, no matter how I steep it there’s Just. Something. Missing. It either needs stronger spices or a more robust black tea base – like a malty Assam or a smokey Keemun.

wow…I need a few more cups of tea to wake up. I just read the name of that tea as “Orangutan”….and it took about 4 times to snap out of it. yikes!

Is it bad that I would be tempted to try any tea with “Orangutan” in the name?

snerk The Okanagan Valley is know for it’s fruit orchards and it’s also probably the premier vacation spot in the province.

See? Nothing to do with orange, furry apes living in Borneo. ;P

It would be cooler if it had to do with orange, furry apes living in Borneo though… so many things would.

Well of course, though it wouldn’t take much to be cooler than this bland tea. ;)

Hi Jillian, thanks so much for your feedback… we have gone through more testing and development and are finally coming out with a much improved version of the Okanagan Apple Spice. It was tested against the current product and the new one won hands down each time in blind taste tests! I hope you have a chance to try it out soon! We will be releasing it in mid-September. Have a great tea day and hopefully this Halloween, you will be much more satisfied with the OK Apple Spice!

Bio

I’m a university student in her mid-twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.

I’m also a self-proclaimed Grammar-Nazi, and improper capitalization and spelling invariably makes me twitch (yes, I mean you!)
