Big Apple from DAVIDsTEA
82

I love apples! I have one (sometimes two) every day. Sometimes I microwave them with cinnamon. It’s the closest thing to baked apples without an oven (I learned this trick in Japan, where ovens are rare). Apples remind me of my grandparent’s apple orchard and baked apples and cakes and pies and everything comforting and yummy. I just love love love them!

I realize that was somewhat of a digression, but having said that, I really love this tea. I’m drinking it with Almond Breeze right now and it really reminds me of my microwaved apples. It’s creamy and delicious, full of pure apple flavor. It smells so wonderful and tastes like my childhood.

Note that I brewed it for 2 min, rather than the 3-4 min instruction on the label. The David’s girl who sold it to me said that any longer than 2 min brings out too much bitterness. My brew turned out perfectly, with absolutely no bitterness, so I’m going by what she said.

I believe she’s probably right regarding the bitterness; although I only had it cold-brewed, there was definitely some unpleasant bitterness. I’m going to keep that infusion time in mind when I get around to trying it hot!
