Yeah, I don’t care. I’m just going to say it: I have been loving this stuff lately. It’s delicious. It’s probably the most satisfying apple and/or cinnamon tea I’ve had.

I’m even going to admit that I get milk in it because the first time around I thought it was black tea. It was tasty and comforting so I repeated it. I get it on the way into work and it sits steeping until I get settled in and the phones die down and I finally have time to drink it, and it’s lovely. Also really fragrant! People have been asking me what it is.

No shame here.

So this isn’t actually so bad. The beau and I have been looking for a good apple tea (that is more cider-esque than anything else) for a while. We’ve had a few contendors, but they always seem to be get discontinued. We tried this bagged tea last evening, and I was relatively impressed by it. Might get some to have on hand for when we want something easy and appley. Also, stay away from Tim Hortons Chai Lattes, as I’m pretty certain that espresso or coffee or something else in that terribly bitter neighbourhood was added to mine, though I don’t know why. : (

Totally passable bagged tea. Actually for an apple tea it is pretty darn good. I am alway on the lookout for a good apple tea but it is an endless quest. There is a taste of dust from the cinnamon and I get some paper feel from the bag but it is better than many. It puts me in mind if their apple cider but with a but more spice and way less sugar. Still looking forward to going home to my real tea but this stuff will see me through.

I don’t think it’s fair to rate this one. I wasn’t sure if it was a fruit tea, or a fruity black blend, so I took the bag out at 3 minutes. It’s a fruit tea. Whoops. It’s watery as hell.

That’s okay, I saved it! I steeped my own filterbag of David’s Nepal Black in it. So now instead of watery steeped apple cider, I have a vaguely cider-ish black tea. It would be better if it had been hotter water to steep in, but that’s okay. It’s still an improvement.

…Oh god, so many crappy teas. I really need to start making my own at school.

Okay, so I had a chance to try this again. And it’s bad.

I didn’t make the same mistake as last time…I steeped it awhile, though I’m not entirely certain how long. While I ate a couple of tacos, to give you an indication. And it smells absolutely wonderful – very cider-y – but the taste is just hopeless. I keep bringing it to my mouth expecting something very close to cider, but it just tastes muffled, like cider is being mugged of flavour, and the perp is holding his hand over cider’s mouth to smother the screams.

Okay, I guess I was expecting too much. It’s not actually apple cider, it’s a bagged tea meant to sort of taste like cider. Maybe it’s not that bad, for what it is.

But just in general, as a tea, it sucks. After a day off “chain-drinking” decent tea, this is just annoying me more than it should.

For what it is, I definitely do like it. If this is all I had to drink, or the only option I had from a Tim Horton’s, I would go for this. It’s pretty tasty, and like most herbal infusions, it’s best to let it steep for a while for best taste and health benefits.

It’s not a fantastic cup, but it’s good. And given the quality of the other teas sold by the company, this one is quite nice.

Spent the evening with my inlaws in the land of red rose orange pekoe and Tim Hortons’ tea gift packs. Kinda felt like I was cheating on DavidsTea! With a cheap imitation >.>

But for all that, it wasn’t terrible. Not nearly as good as DavidsTea’s Baked Apple, though!

This is actually my favourite tea from Tim Hortons, definitely my go-to whenever I decide to go there. I love how light and tasty this tea is, it tastes a lot better once it’s been steeped for a little while. Don’t take the bag out right away!

I have never been a fan of apple cider but I love spiced apple teas! This is one of my faves to have especially on the evening shift (yes, I currently work there). I will likely have to buy a box before I leave this job :)

This is my favorite Tim Hortons tea. It does need to steep a while to get a good flavor or otherwise it taste like water. I find if you ad some sugar the spices are stronger. I always get compliments that it smells amazing, but it usually smells better then it tastes. So if your really looking for something mild and aromatic this is a good tea.
