What’s autumn without tart, juicy apples? We have taken the best apples, and paired them with amazing, sweet molasses for this black tea. A true fall flavor classic!

I have not posted a tasting note for TEN DAYS! :O
I am so ashamed. I apologize profusely, even though I’m sure most of you don’t care. Life has been just crazy lately (and will continue to be for the next month or so) and I just haven’t been able to find the time for Steepster, which is so sad. I have been drinking a lot of teas, I just haven’t had time to blog about it what with uni work and all, followed by my internet giving up on me for like 4 days (which was hell) followed by yet more uni work which I am now panicking about! I am definitely going to make an effort to post on Steepster if and when I get any free time, though, as I’ve missed it so much! Plus I really don’t want to lose touch with what’s going on.
Anyway, to the tea.
I received this a few days back in a package from VariaTEA which contained the Celestial Seasonings tea she so kindly sent me, as well as a bunch of samples, of which this was one. I meant to come on here and thank her right away, but as I said, life got in the way. The whole package smelled of apples and cinnamon, so I searched for the source (this) which smelled so heavenly I had to brew it up. It reminded me of an apple pie slice, and brewed smells exactly like apple strudel. I had high hopes for it, but still didn’t believe that the taste could live up to the smell. I am pleased to report, however, that it did, and has earned its place amongst my absolute favourite teas. I wish I had more of this, as the sample was only enough for two cups, but I’m sure I can use this as an excuse to place an order with Della Terra in the future!
Sweet enough to not need any additives – I added half a teaspoon of sugar after a few mouthfuls and regretted it. Definitely best plain. This tea is delicate and juicy and ridiculously tasty, with the spices and sweetness perfectly matching with the apple flavour so much that I would basically kill for a slice of hot apple strudel right now. I bet this would be great iced in the summer, and may have to try that if I manage to get my hands on any more of it.
So so yummy.

I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I do. It was on my maybe list of teas to try from the box but as soon as I read bluebelle’s latest note on this I knew I must try it.
It is a yummy apple tea with sweet syrupy like molasses with a little spice. I’ve already had two cups and I think I would consider getting this come Fall.
Thanks Pyroxy for sharing!
I actually drank this one for the first time on Friday afternoon, but I ran out of time to write notes. Hence, we’re having a reprise this morning. The scent of the dry leaf is a little overpowering, so I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this one all that much. It’s definitely molasses, though…and “cake”. I used 1 tsp of leaf, and gave it 3.5 minutes in boiling water. The resulting liquor is a medium golden brown. No additions.
To taste, the apple flavour actually comes out really well. I was half expecting it to be completely drowned in all the sweetness, but it’s not like that at all. It’s a fresh, crisp apple flavour, not flowery or floral in the slightest. The molasses comes out in the mid-sip, just like a freshly opened bag of muscavodo sugar. It’s not as sweet as I anticipated, which is a good thing, but rich and treacly and almost thick tasting. The combination is actually putting me in mind of toffee apples, bonfires, and autumn. An atmospheric tea if ever there was one!
This one is definitely a welcome change from the normal run of teas I drink at work, and a pleasant, easily drinkable cup. A treat for a cold morning!
I am so glad you liked this one. Hopefully the other samples are this popular as well.
So far, I have loved every single one of them. I’m probably almost half way through them now! I’m going to really try to be better at logging when I try new teas, but, life. :/
Your package should be sent tomorrow, by the way! I tried to send it on Friday but the place that sells Teapigs was shut.
Oh wow. Haha. I am glad you have been enjoying them.
And no rush. I won’t receive it until April 27th (the earliest) anyways since that it when I will be back home.
Hello Nattie, could you send me your address for the travelling box ? Thanks
Oh okay, I might hang on until they have more of the rooibos creme caramel I’m stock then (:
Meldc I’ve sent it (:
