I guess this is not my favorite flavor ever. Oh well. It certainly lives up to its name.
A celebration of the apple! Sweetness like a candied apple, fresh tart-floral notes of crispy crab apples.

This tea is only decent - The apples make up so much of the volume, that the tea is very muted.
This tea is a little intense! I think I steeped it for a little too long, but it's definitely not in the mild side, so be sure you're mindful of how long you're allowing it to steep.
Nice and tart. Kids really seem to love this one!
Almost like apple cider! Next time I'll try it with sugar.
This was sent as a sample and it was the first one I tried. It's delicious! I'll be ordering more of this.
A very good, blendable tea. Just the right amount of tartness and sweet apple flavoring.
In the bag it smells like apple jolly ranchers, but the flavor is much more subtle. It definitely is a sour apple flavor though. I drank it without any sweeteners and really enjoyed it. I imagine it would taste great, and probably less sour, with honey.
This is so screaming good. it tastes just like a Jolly Rancher Green Apple, which is one of my favorite candies. I realize lots of blendmasters use Sour Apple as an ingredient for their teas, but it is truly delicious on its own.
I've had it hot and iced and it has piquant tart apple flavor. The color is enticing as well, rich red-gold
This tea is really fun and different from the rest I've purchased. It is satisfyingly sour and a lovely pick-me-up when you're feeling blah.
A very mellow herbal tea that tingles the taste buds. I did find I needed more of the mixture to get a good strong taste. A little sprinkle of stevia to calm the sour, and it was delish! Can't wait to brew this and serve over ice in the summer!
Very good apple flavor. I was hoping it was a little more sour, but didn't take away from the taste. I like to drink a cup of this with a teaspoon of sugar. Perfect morning treat. The only thing I feel I should mention is that this tea does need a bit of sugar. Without it I feel like the apple flavor does not shine through as strongly.
Oh yeah, now this this will be a full order the next time I love the apple flavor...
I read on Reddit that someone had cold steeped tea with ginger ale. This was a perfect match for the cold soda. Be warned that you need to drink a bit off the top because the tea causes the pressure to build up.
It's a really unique flavor, like freshly picked green apples. I sprinkle in a little bit of sugar to make a delicious treat! I can only imagine how refreshing this would be as an iced drink.
Wow... this was different. Good, but different. It smells so strongly of apple cider vinegar in the bag I was scared to death to taste it. But when brewed it's rather pleasant. especially with a little sugar. It tones down the sour but leaves just enough of a kick to make a really good, dark red, cup of tea. I still swear I'm tasting vinegar undertones though which is why it doesn't get full stars.
It is definitely sour so be prepared when you drink it
My absolute favorite over ice! Tastes great mixed with any other fruity herbal tea or alone
This herbal tea is absolutely delicious. It has a really sweet flavor, but then the sour apple flavor comes in, leaving it to not really taste like cider, which is something I was afraid of. Plus, it has a beautiful red color!
This one really surprised me. A super green green apple flavor.
This is my new favorite tea. I had to order some herbal samples because I felt that I was having some adverse reactions to the multiple cups of black tea that I'd been drinking. I have only used it as a hot tea but I would love to try it iced. It reminded me of fall and it was very soothing
Interesting tea, didn't get a lot of sour but it's a good tea.
I found this tea absolutely delightful! Very tasty and fruity, and really not very sour. It was a great way to end a nice almost autumn day.
Not at all what I expected but I really enjoyed this.
I didn't expect it to be as apple-y as it was--a very pleasant surprise!
To be honest this tea wasn't my favorite it kind of make me think of drinking hot vinegar but it was a pretty pink if that helps out any lol.
My first brew of this tea wasn't that great. My second brew gave me what I was looking for. It's very tart but I didn't really get an apple flavor until I added sugar. After the sugar it tasted just like my favorite variety of apples. Some things to note: make sure you get a good balance of red and white apple pieces and the tea has a somewhat vinegar like smell.
With honey and cream this is an amazing tea. I like to mix this together with other flavored black teas as well, like the cinnamon or caramel.
My daughter, the tea-newbie, loves the flavor. Tart and fruity, she adores a warm cup every morning. Hibiscus and rose hips make the perfect partner to the crisp apple. She is happy it's caffeine free too!
I love this tea!!!
Sour apple is one of my absolute favorite fruit teas.
It had a very nice tart taste to it with a slight sour aftertaste which was expected. Does great for an herbal tea.
This isn't really a typical tea. It isn't horribly sour, so don't worry about that. It is a little sour though, so you have to be in the mood for sour. It does have a nice apple flavor.
I love the sweetness of the tea with just the right amount of tartness. Wonderful hot or iced.
Wow. So apple. Much delicious. Very yum. In other words, a tasty apple tea perfect to warm the belly and the soul. 10/10 would recommend. Also great with spiced apple chai, making a great mimicry of apple cider!
I was always skeptical about buying the fruity herbal teas, once I got the sampler, I realized how awesome they were and bought them all. I can't wait for summer! Ill be brewing this tea all day every day!!
I can't remember if I've ever had this hot, but it makes a fantastic iced tea.
I love this most when added to some rooibos teas such as apple cinnamon.
This tea has a wonderful, light fruity flavor mixed perfectly with light spices. I steeped it for longer than suggested because I wanted to achieve more of a bite from the tea. If you don't want that, then let it steep for the suggested time, and you get a great lightly-flavored tea that resembles hot apple cider on a cold winter day.
This tea literally tastes like an apple jolly rancher. It tastes like a fruit juice! The smell in the bag was super sweet, like candy, and it brewed a beautiful red colour. At first I wondered why it was called 'sour' when it is so sweet, but after letting it seep longer the 'sweet' turned very 'sour.'
This tea is perfect! Its sooo good! I love mixing my loose leaf tea and this tea you can mix with anything and it brings so much flavor to the tea!! Very yummy!
Awesome. I don't usually like sour apple flavored things, but this one is great.
This is a good tea, not one of my favorites but my family loves this one. This is refreshing as an iced tea.
Blech, it certainly doesn't taste anything like apple, and not all the pleasant either. I'll pass on this one.
This tea was bitter and weak. I did not enjoy it and will not be ordering it again.
Apples are one of my favorite fruits, this tea is amazing.
WOW. Fantastic, fruity and delicious. If you're looking for a sweet, fruity herbal... this one is FANTASTIC. The smell is definitely sour... but brews to a great fruity taste, not too tart, and sweet without any additions of sugar. I broke the rules and put two heaping teaspoons in, and loved every sip.
I open the bag and it smelled like crab-apple flavored bleach.(yuck) I tried this sour apple tea, hot and iced. The sour apple severed hot was just ok and had a bit tart/sour taste.(the scent over-powered the taste) The tea served iced, was actually pretty good, and had a faint sour apple flavor. I do prefer this tea iced, and I recommend trying the tea.
This was pretty good! It smells like it would have a ridiculously strong taste, but it was actually really well balance in flavor. Great iced!
