Recently, I’ve been doing a full-on Marie Kondo inspired cupboard clean out. Sold old teaware online and gave away a bunch of teas that didn’t “spark joy” anymore. In the process, I re-discovered teas that had been lost in clutter. Such was the case with this tisane which had been sitting in the back of my cupboard for over 5 years. I almost tossed it thinking it was probably stale but I’m glad I didn’t.
It brews up a beautiful, deep burgundy and the smell is reminiscent of another favorite tisane, Tim Horton’s Apple Cinnamon tea. The taste of this tea is warm cinnamon rolls followed by plum and then cranberries. Adding a touch of sweetener really enhances the flavor and brought out apple cider notes. I didn’t realize until later there was hibiscus in this blend as there’s no sourness. It just adds a gentle tartness to the tea.
I haven’t had the greatest luck with Rishi flavored teas but this is one of their better ones.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Cranberry, Plum

The downside of decluttering is the sudden urge to fill up those empty shelves with more teaware. The vicious cycle of hoarding and de-stashing ;-)
Marie Kondo is a Japanese organizing guru. Her name has recently become synonymous with decluttering and tidying up.
Okay, it’s from The Spice & Tea Exchange..had it switched lol.. and it also has currants and licorice root. Not apple. Oh well, they both sound good!
