A celebration of the apple! Sweetness like a candied apple, fresh tart-floral notes of crispy crab apples.

I actually drank this again with milk a little bit of sugar and I really liked it. I think that I was just going into the tea with the wrong mindset the first time or else it was just not the right time for this tea. I would drink it again.
It is definitely not my favorite tea. It is very sour but I drink my teas without any sweetener. It might be better with some sugar.
Very sour tea - flavor is countered well with a spoon of honey.
Very sour, and very apple-y. It was exactly what i wanted, and i made some excellent fruit pops out of it
The apple flavor was too strong for me. It wasn't bad but I can't have it on it's own, I always need to mix it with some other teas.
This tea is fun, when you feel like something sweet and sour this does the trick.
love - love - love !!! one of my favorites !!! love it iced but also awesome hot !!! definitely recommend !!!
This is not a flavor I typically see in fruit teas, which makes it interesting. The fruit flavor is noticeable without overwhelming. A nice afternoon pick-me-up.
Nicely tart with a pleasant apple flavor. It mixes well with ceylon tea if you want a bit of caffeine as well.
I love this stuff. It's become one of my staple teas. I love the bright sour apple flavor immensely.
decent sour flavor, tho I prefer more tart. very nice overall
Lovely apple flavor. I iced this tea with caramel black and found that it was to die for :)
My little one also likes this tea. I love the tartness of this tea and it taste great cold just as well as being served hot. One of my favorites.
This was a nice appley herbal, fruity and tart and vibrant. Also really good in blends (like with gunpowder--absolutely delicious). Not as astringent as apple juice, and doesn't really taste too similar? Reminded me more of a jolly rancher, though not as overpowering.
Really liked this tea, its fruity and has just enough bite to make it interesting.
I wasn't too crazy about this tea. I guess I like a certain flavor for tea.
An appropriate amount of apple! I make this with chamomile and was knocked out by the flavor.
Very appropriately named tea. i steeped it a bit longer than i might some others because the flavor was very light at first, but after a bit longer- this is a pretty nice tart tea.
Like the name says, this is a tart blend, but I don't like drinks that are too sweet, so for me this is perfect and refreshing just as it is. Haven't tried it hot, but I've enjoyed it very much as an iced tea, brewed overnight in the refrigerator.
When I first opened the pouch, I couldn't decide if this tea smelled like apple flavored Jolly Ranchers or apple cider vinegar. Either way, this is a strong, tart herbal tea that is fun to try if you like fruity flavors. It's the type of brew that I would enjoy knowing that I had on hand, but would seldom actually reach for.
I like to pair it with the wild strawberry which is very sweet. Makes a great combo.
Sweet and tangy, can't wait to try it iced. Just need to sweeten it a little less next time.
Delicious as part of a good blend -- I haven't tried it by itself yet, but it adds a delicious sourness to gunpowder and mate.
it was ok. it was ok. it was ok. it was ok. it was ok. it was ok.
I found this tea to be so so. The flavor tasted a little too generic and very similar to the watermelon cooler.
I really like this one cold. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit sour.
Very fruity. A bit tart but also sweet, and it's a wonderful color.
this tea smells and looks great, but when you drink it, it sticks in the back of your throat. it certainly is sour, but it tastes more like vomit than any sour apple. i dont know what temperature i boiled it at, but my tea kettle was whistling.
This wasn't up to the level of deliciousness I expect from Adagio. I didn't get enough apple flavor no matter how long I steeped or how much tea I used.
I prefer this brewed cold. Full of flavor and well balanced flavor. Not overly apple and not exceptionally sour. I like that you can brew to your tastes.
Interesting and a welcome break from standard teas.
I was expecting to add a lot more sugar to this tea than I actually had to, and the fact that it doesn't contain caffeine is wonderful for when I need a cup before bed.All in all, I'd definitely recommend this to people who enjoy more fruity/floral teas.
This makes a delicious iced tea. I loved it with just a little agave added to it
The smell is strong. Really, really strong. I don't recommend taking a smell of it in the bag. But the tea itself isn't bad. Not the nest apple tea I've ever tried, but not bad.
Smells much stronger than it is in the tea. Great flavor, though. I mix it with the breakfast tea.
Drinking my third cup right now and all I can say is yum! I want to make a big batch and then chill it, I imagine it will make a refreshing summer treat!
really great tasting tea of course didn't expect anything less from it
Pleasantly sour, but also a tinge of sweetness to balance it out.
Little bit of a kick when you taste the apples, but this is about as American tasting as possible without setting off fireworks.
A very good tea! I really enjoyed it with cinnamon apple
I really liked this tea. It smelled like sour apple candy and almost had the same flavor.
Again, the name says it all.. If you love the taste of sour apple, you'll love the flavor of this tea.
Great herbal tea that doesn't turn too tart on you!
A nice, tart tea to start the day! Tastes just like small sour apples with a hint of sweetness.
This was really good, one of my favorite fruity teas.
Tastes less tart than it smells, but still delicious like a candy apple. I want to blend it with Aries to add some cinnamon and spice.
reminds me of jolly rancher candies. i like it. tastes better iced and with some sweetener.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this tea and I am very pleasantly surprised. Contrary to the name, this tea is not that sour. It has a great, refreshing taste. I bet it would be even better iced.
When you open up the packet it smells like sour apple, it smells like (to me at least) a green Jolly Rancher. It made my mouth water, because Granny Smith apples are my favorite type of apple. So This tea is really fantastic! I've tried Candy Apple as well and loved it, but I feel like I'm more in love with Sour Apple. It's a really great tea!
Fabulous! Crisp, tangy, aromatic. Will buy again
