Sipdown (171)
Call me crazy but the first sip I took of the tea tasted like a green…pepper. Yep. Pepper. Not an apple which is made even more confusing by the fact that as soon as water touch this tea bag, the aroma of crisp apples filled the air. As I continue to drink, I am picking up more of a tart, green apple flavor (definitely hints of the hibiscus, though in this case it helps create the flavor rather than destroy it). Still, I can’t help but feel that this may have been better suited as a cold tea (either cold brewed or iced) to help bring out the fresh apple crunch I know it is capable of having. It’s a nice enough tea and despite my pepper misstep in the beginning, the end result is certainly an apple tea, though not one I will miss too much now that I have used up the only tea bag I had of it from London (one I had to literally run across a marathon to get!).
Flavors: Green Apple, Green Pepper, Hibiscus

Oh my goodness! These were crazy to get for me, too. I need to send back more when I go over again, that store was amazing. I mean, buying one tea bag amazing.
Both of the Twinings Hibiscus blends I’ve tried (the Raspberry and the Blueberry), tasted like bell pepper. So strange. I have no idea what gives it that taste.
MissB, it was definitely crazy to get in there but it made for a good story and the store was really lovely so I’d say it was worth it.
rosebudmelissa, thank goodness someone else got peppers because that was very strange.
