Harvest Moon from Souvia Tea. . . .

by Mary

I keep trying to write my review, but you guys– all I can think of is apple cinnamon instant oatmeal.

(Okay, let’s back up a sec.)

I brewed this cup of Souvia’s Harvest Moon green tea this morning looking for something calming and settling on my stomach. I wanted something sweet and tasty, but light and not overdone. The dry leaf smells strongly of apples with a hint of spice, which bodes well for what I’m in the mood for.

The literal second the hot water hits my steeper, I am immediately hit with the overwhelming scent-twin of the instant apple cinnamon oatmeal packets of my youth. Seriously, it’s spot-on. I steep for a few minutes, and the flavor matches the scent exactly, with just a hint of grassiness from the green tea. Overall, it’s a pleasant cup, no need for honey (as I often prefer my greens) but there’s the tiniest, lingering thought that I’m actually drinking my adolescent breakfast-to-go. If you’re a fan of warm, comforting scents and chilly-weather-appropriate green teas, this might just be your perfect cup.

In the meantime– I’m going to the grocery store. I’ve got an oatmeal craving to fill.

Here’s the scoop!

Hi there! I'm Mary, a 27-year-old mental health professional living with my fiancé and our quirky kitten in the Midwest! I've loved tea for as long as I can remember-- in fact, I have vivid memory of being four or five in a tea shop and being mesmerized by all the tea flavors and proclaiming that I "was going to be kind of adult who drank tea, not coffee." A stint living (and tea-drinking my way through) London and twenty-some years later, I'm still channeling that sassy four-year-old and loving my tea habit. When I'm not sipping a cuppa, you'll find me reading, doing yoga, traveling, exploring my own city, planning our wedding and experimenting with different healthful and healing foods in my kitchen.

Taster’s Review:

This is a really delicious apple tea.  I like that it has a strong apple flavor, but also a pleasant note of cinnamon that nicely accents the apple without overpowering it.

The green tea base is a smooth, rich tasting tea.  The long spears of green tea (that sort of resemble blades of cut grass!) make me think that this is probably a Sencha tea, and the sweet, faint vegetative flavor of the tea further confirm this for me.  The green tea flavor is not particularly strong in this blend, but it is at an agreeable level that is neither too weak nor is it overpowering or too grassy.  It’s quite nice.

Both the apple and cinnamon flavors are strong here, but they don’t seem to be competing with one another.  It is a pleasant synergy between the two distinct flavors.  The cinnamon does have a nice warmth to it, and while I wouldn’t consider it spicy or hot, it certainly isn’t one of those soft, sweet cinnamon tastes either.  It makes for a very nice autumnal tasting tea.

I found this to be incredibly warming on this cold evening.  As apple flavored green teas are among my favorites to serve as iced tea, I suspect this one would make a very good iced tea too.  It doesn’t need additional sweetener, but, a small drizzle of agave nectar or honey is quite nice in this.

This is my first experience with a tea from Souvia, and I am very pleased with it!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!

Tasters Review:

This is really REALLY really GOOD!!! I mean REALLY GOOD!  HEY!  Did I mention this was GOOD!? 🙂

For me…this has the PERFECT amount of both the cinnamon and the apple and they are equally yummy.   The semi-sweet and juicy green tea is the focus of this offering from Souvia and I just think it’s genius!

Tea-riffic! I Well done!

Souvia…I am a fan of your Harvest Moon.  Plain and Simple!  Thank you!
