Product Description:
This tea will bring you right back to your childhood. Thanks to the spicy aroma of cinnamon, the sweet smell of apples baking in the oven and the fresh green tea blend. Don’t remember that last part? Okay, so we added the green tea. It’s a great way to bring all the nostalgic flavour of mom’s dessert right to your mug. So wherever you go, you’ve got the warm memories…but not the calories. Mom would approve.
Taster’s Review:
This is absolutely fantastic. It really does taste like apple pie. All that’s missing now is a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
The dry leaf has large chunks of apple and chips of cinnamon stick along with long spears of green tea leaves. It smells amazing – the cinnamon is very dominate in the aroma but there are lingering notes of apple and pastry, too.
While the green tea seems a little lost in the fragrance, it is not lost in the flavor. I can taste the sweet, buttery taste of the green tea as well as a nutty undertone. These characteristics are very complimentary to the pie-like taste.
The cinnamon is the strongest flavor here, and I like the warmth it provides. It is sweet yet spicy. The apple comes through nicely too, it is sweet, and as I continue to make my way toward the bottom of the cup, I notice more of the tartness of the apple.
This tea is part of David’s newest Fall Collection, and it certainly does evoke thoughts of autumn. I like this one best hot, because it just seems more comforting and cozy when it’s a hot tea … although it is tasty iced too.
This one is a winner!
You should ask for the vanilla ice cream flavour but for me, apple pie and vanilla ice cream aren’t linked, so I wouldn’t miss it.
