Pleasantly surprised by this one! I’ve sampled a lot of apple-flavored teas (apple is one of my favorite flavors), so I’m pretty picky about them. In the bag, this one smelled a lot like potpourri—lots of strong, sharp cinnamon, with a hint of almond. Based on the scent of the dry leaf, I was worried the spices would be way too overpowering. But it steeped into a nicely spiced tea, with a solid apple note to round out the cinnamon. I also appreciate that the black tea base was lighter and smoother than I expected. I think I might prefer this one to Adagio’s Spiced Apple Chai, which is a pretty similar tea (but more aggressive with the spices and has a stronger tea for the base). It’s not my favorite tea with apple that I’ve tried so far, but it’s still a good blend for this time of year.
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m a writer who drinks tea to survive the creative process. A few years ago, I discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I’ve been hoarding all kinds of tea ever since!
My favorite teas change by the day. I usually drink them unsweetened, without milk. I like white and green teas, but I tend to prefer black and oolong these days. Rooibos can be hit-or-miss, same with herbals. (I mostly avoid blends with hibiscus, as I find it too tart, and I’m not a huge mint fan.) But I love when I find a good herbal that I can enjoy when I don’t want caffeine. I’m actively searching for tasty blends with chamomile in them.
I enjoy both flavored and straight teas. Some of my favorite flavors are vanilla, spice, apple, orange, chocolate, and peach. I’m obsessed with ginger. Seriously. I’ve been known to add extra ginger to teas that already have absurd amounts of spice in them. You’ve been warned. ;)
