Not sure how well the apple comes out between the cream and the caramel, but I like it all the same. After steeping I take the apple pieces out and put them in the tea, very nice to nibble on and pretty to look at. I prefer it sweetened but it isn’t repulsive unsweetened (I had some friends try it out with me, I don’t know if they’re fond of tea, but they finished what was in their cups, and I’d hope they wouldn’t do so if they didn’t like it).
Very nice to smell as well. A good snack or dessert tea, especially sweetened. The cream and the caramel do play nicely together.

Second steep lost the apple a bit more, but the cream and caramel still come through softly. More apple pieces to nibble on help it retain a ‘candied apple’ taste. Should probably find out what Sour Apple is meant to taste like by itself, but I’m not all that surprised that it didn’t stick around at much at the second steep. Wrongly or rightly, I rather think multiple infusions are more fruitful in true teas. Still though, rather glad that the flavouring oils came through on the second infusion. I have a cream sample, but I much prefer cream in a blend than by itself, I see that now.

This could become something of a habit. I should make some and try it cold or iced even.
