★★★★☆
This is a delicious black tea to have with dessert or as a dessert. It is slightly sweet on its own but not overpowering, just pleasant. I would recommend it.
A taste reminiscent of the carnival favorite with sweet caramel and fresh apple notes.

Ohh, man, this is good stuff. I am in love with this tea.
Extremely pleasant, but be careful of over-brewing. A shorter time is better.
Sweet without being overbearing. Just enough apple flavor at the end. Great when you're in the mood for something a little different!
I think maybe my expectations were just more on par with what it presents than with other reviewers. I chose this sample hoping for something to remind me of fall, because I'm a little tired of summer. That's exactly what I got. Slightly spicy, but still a bit sweet, caramel apples. I brewed it about double strong with one teaspoon of sugar for a large mug, and thought it was pretty fantastic! I was able to sink into this tea and pretend like it was October for a bit. I can guarantee that I'll be buying a lot of this when the season does roll around.
I tried this tea as a sample. I don't know if it was the sample's mix or just me, but I was expecting something a lot more strong. The apple or any other flavoring was really not there in this batch. Mostly this tastes like lightly sweetened black tea. There are some really light apple notes, but they are almost non existent. As a black tea without any bitter notes I'd suggest it, but as a flavored tea I don't really see the potential.
It was a good basic tea, but I really didn't get any caramel or apple flavor. Even when I added an extra half a teaspoon, I didn't really taste anything.
I think it could have used a bit more caramel apple flavor for that extra kick, but overall this tea was rather good. Earthy and juicy sweet, with a nice touch of cinnamon. Probably wouldn't drink it every day, but definitely delicious.
This tea is fantastic! It smells exactly like the delicious treats sold at the fair and tastes like one, too! To get an overwhelming sense of the flavor, I used a ton of sugar, but I bet this would taste amazing even without it.
This could easily become my favorite tea. It's sweet and would probably be good iced as well as hot.
The last batch I got was a bit more apple than caramel, but it was still good.
Taste just like candy apples. I love it. It's a very relaxing tea.
It's okay if you like cinnamon. I'm just not a fan of cinnamon.
this will be strange review. i tried it alone and even with milk and hated the artificial tasting flavor. i made it with coconut tea(im always mixing my teas) and it is the best tea i have ever tasted and my fav now! go figure. i actually use half coconut to half candy apple flavor. it tastes like apple pie and ice cream!
Eh... not as good as the candy cane tea, and it was a bit bitter.
This tea covers my afternoon sweet cravings! So perfect, with out without milk.
This ceylon has a very light sweet aroma and flavor to match. It's good, but I wish there were more apple pieces and flavor to it.
Not my favorite, but a good flavor. It doesn't really remind me of a candy apple--there's none of the overpowering sweetness (which is a good thing I think!)
Not quite as good as I expected, although the apple pieces did give it a pretty good boost of apple flavouring. The caramel, however, ran the show, taking this tea down a notch.
Not my fav tea, good thing I only ordered a sample. I don't think candy apples go to well with tea. It had a watery sweetness with not too much apple flavor.
A free sample of this tea had me convinced I was drinking a heavenly liquified caramel apple. I promptly broke down and bought a bag large enough to stuff a toddler inside, but perhaps I was a little overzealous.
While it's quite good, it's not a tea I found I wanted to drink every day. Yet as an occasional treat it has a lovely sweet flavor that's not overpowering. It's almost a dessert unto itself, so add sugar in small increments or you may make it too sweet without realizing. Definitely recommended, but I'd start out with trying the smaller bags.
Now, I like the packaging, but who decided to make the steeping instructions darker red on a red background? I can barely read it. And the pyramid bag is convenient, but no string? I had to pick it up out of the water by a corner, which was probably not very safe. I guess they assume I have a spoon.
Anyway, this is a pretty good candy apple tea. Like others have said, I don’t taste the cinnamon at all, just apple and caramel. Which is fine, I like it. It’s like a step up from Tazo’s Organic Apple Red, which I know is a rooibos, but they taste almost identical. My only complaint is that the caramel apple flavor could be a little stronger. I find that after 5 minutes, which is what’s recommended, the ceylon gets a bit overwhelming. But if I had a chance, I would definitely sample this again.
I received this tea as a sample with my last tea order. It was so delicious that I had to buy a full container of it. It's sweet but not overpowering and smells delicious.
This didn't taste like anything to me but slightly bitter black tea. Maybe I got a bad batch? Or not enough of the flavored bits?
It tastes kind of like hot Apple Cider, which I appreciate, but I'm not sure it's distinct enough from it.
I absolutely loved it! The apple flavor wasn't too strong, and it had a nice hint of caramel. I'll be stocking up on this before the holidays end!
This tea is okay, but not great. Mostly it just tastes like a sweet black tea. I didn't get a lot of apple flavor, and after a while the sweet taste gets a little overpowering. I would drink a single cup occasionally, but not a whole pot at once.
The taste of this combination makes me think of big red candy apple from the County Fair.
i got this tea sample a week ago and am already out. this was a favorite of mine to say the least. i will be stocking up before the season is over!
I bought a cup of this tea to go at old orchard and I was so impressed that I went back to buy a 3oz bag to take home
I enjoyed this tea. Has a good blend of sweet and tart.
Not really a fan of this and I am a little disappointed. I didn't taste anything remotely resembling a candy apple, but more like a black tea with a bitter after taste. Maybe I have a bad batch, I am not sure. I won't be ordering it again.
Too much of an unpleasant sort of 'tang' while drinking this tea, I seemed to feel it right in the base of my jaw. My quest for a good apple tea continues, sadly!
Not particularly apple-y. It does taste of cinnamon, but more sweet then spicy.
Bought as a gift for a friend... they like it very much
This tea is great, especially if you like apples. Try it with Apple pie.
Very good flavour. Definitely can taste the 'candy apple'. Would purchase again.
Nice taste. Smell is great makes your think your eating a candy apple.
Yummy! I love the flavor going on in the Candy Apple flavor.
I was hoping it would be more apple taste to it. I would still recommend it.
This tea had a nice subtle flavor. It wasn't really apple-y or carmel-y but it still tasted good.
this sounds soo good I got this tea for a gift and have not heard bad review on it yet
I like the sweetness of this tea. The apple flavor is present and sweet.
This wasnt my favorite tea, no matter how I steeped it, it still came out a little bitter at the end. I liked the beginning flavor but the end always came out bitter. I would not get this tea again.
I love this. I wish they had this tea all year long!
Not what I was expecting but was still very tasty. Not a favorite but I would order it again for something different.
this is a mediocre tea and somewhat disappointing...not much of any distinctive taste
Didn't taste like a candy apple at all but whatever it did taste like was really good.
Love love love this one!! One of my favs. Doesn't taste like a candy apple but its still delish!
I got this as a Christmas present for my mom. She was very pleased.
