★★★☆☆
Not my favorite tea. I have tried it both iced and hot but I still can not get used to the flavor.
A celebration of the apple! Sweetness like a candied apple, fresh tart-floral notes of crispy crab apples.

Not my favorite tea. I have tried it both iced and hot but I still can not get used to the flavor.
Not at the top of my list, but a nice change when I'm just feeling like something a bit different.
I really like this tea, it tastes lovely iced! It has a nice apple flavor.
This was tasty but kind of mild without any kind of sweetener to give it some depth.
While nothing will ever replace Blood Orange as my favorite herbal tea, this is a great runner-up. Fruity
I love apple, but I didn't like this one much hot. Hoping to try it cold in the summer.
This tea is so incredibly good. Deffinitely needs 2 teaspoons per cup rather than one though.
very nice and flavorful tea. doesn't need much added sugar as it is already very sweet and tasty. highly recommend, would buy again
If you love apples get this now. It smells heavenly and the flaver doesn't let down the sent. I like this in the evening with just a bit of sugar (though it doesn't need it).
It was a little strong but was fun to drink and not make faces. Fun to share and watch other peoples faces on the first sip
This is amazing as a cold tea! Hot, it has more of a vinegar taste.
I really need to try this one iced. It doesn't smell fake or funky like some other herbals. There is a good, apple flavor. It seems a bit weak over all, but is quite enjoyable and a nice change from my usual Blood Orange.
It certainly smells like apple, and it tastes pretty good. The leaves smell like candy before they're brewed, and they're incredibly enticing. It kind of does taste like candy, though it also has this bit of a tang to it.
Does not even need sugar, smelled so good I wanted to eat the apple peices out of the bag. My new favorite!
It's a perfect herbal tea. Fruity yet not too tart.
I couldn't even try this. I opened the bag and all I could smell was a vinegar smell. Will be contacting Adagio to see if this is what it is supposed to smell like but I was so turned off by the smell that I couldn't stomach brewing it. Maybe I just got some bad tea but as of now I can't recommend this.
I like Dewy Cherry better, but this is a nice tart apple taste. I recommend using more than one tablespoon, perhaps 1.5-2 tablespoons. A little sweetener really brings out the tartness. This is a good use for stevia, since the tartness of the tea will mask any of the bitterness that can appear with stevia.
It was little bit tart but I loved it. If you don't like sour flavor put little bit of sugar or 1 teaspoon of honey in it.
This is a great iced or hot tea. It's tart and sweet and you can still taste the hibiscus and rosehips with the apple.
This is definitely an interesting tea! It really smell like sour apple candy! It has a lovely flavor, definitely a tangy sour apple. It is also surprisingly strong in that flavor, so if you don't like sour apple, you may not like this. I have never had any tea like this before!
Not really sour, but a nice apple tea. Not cinnamony like most apple teas out there (that you buy in tea bags) and I like my loose leaf teas to be different from what I can walk in and buy at the grocery store. mixes well with vanilla, blood orange,
I have to say it was a little too artificial tasting for me.
This is my new favorite tea to drink, Light and flavorful. Just enough sour to tease you until your next sip.
I wasn't sure how I would feel about this tea, but I loved it! It was very light and refreshing.
Another great, unique flavor. I'm a diabetic, and it's wonderful to drink something so favorful that is healthy and low in caffiene.
This tea was too strong for my taste. My plan was to mix it with other teas to add a hint of apple, but it overpowered the other teas. Other people might like this tea more, though
I honestly was not expecting it to taste so good, but pleased.
It has great aroma (smells like sour apple candies when you open the bag). It needs some additional flavor though. Making a blend might some flavor it lacks. I imagine that it would fabulous cold with honey and mint leaves.
I didn't like this one as well as other Herbal teas that I drink but it was still good.
I really like this one over the Blood Orange tea. The flavor isn't as strong yet it is still sweet. It tastes great with other teas too.
Delicious! Warm apples with a hint of sour... letting this steep a little longer is a good idea. The smell of just the tea is pretty intimidating... but it brews into a delicious cup...not too heavy or thick :)
Too much added 'natural' apple flavor. The smell of that puts me off when I open the bag. It would be sooo good otherwise!
Very light and refreshing. A strong taste of apples, and since I like my tea on the tart side, I use very little, if any of the white sugar crystals. I can't wait to try this iced in the summer!
This tea tasted fine and would make a good add-on into another tea. The flavor is a little off for Sour Apple though. You get some hints of apple but not as much as I would like.
This tastes just like eating a sour apple. Especially if you steep it for half an hour like I did, hahaha. You can definitely taste the apple flavor.
Just like an Appletini, just without the -tini. Tart but not 'sour', this is the exact opposite of Dewy Cherry, which I also love. This leaves a clean, crisp feeling in your mouth. After finishing the tea, I like to eat the bits of apple that clung to the rim of my mug.
Due to extremely large chunks of apple, I use 1/2Tbsp for a mug or I get about 3 pieces of fruit in the cup.
This tea is fantastic with honey. Tastes like a spicy apple cider. Yum!
Thie one is very interesting almost odd. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I guess I still have not found the right thing to mix it with.
Decent fruit herbal, but not my favorite. Not enough of a sour bite for my taste.
This is a fairly good fruit tea. But in my opinion the flavor will never be anything beyond 'just ok.'
Kind of strong. Tastes better mixed with other teas like Apricot Green.
It really does taste like sour apple! I love it and will buy it again.
This tea I think would be suitable for a nice summer iced tea.
Way to sour, not enough apple. I guess I should have expected the sourness, but it was far too much.
Tastes kinda like Jolly Ranchers... how do they do this?????
I'm not a huge fan of the herbal teas, but this was certainly interesting to try. The hibiscus gives it a little bit of a sourish taste which combines with the apple pieces to make a sort of sour apple. However the taste of the rose hips and hibiscus does overpower the apple flavor.
This was a bit too sour for me, but my girlfriend really liked it. We drank it iced.
A tea that's delicious hot and over ice-apple flavor isn't overpowering!
It's kinda odd but good. Tasted like a Sour apple jolly rancher sorta.
This tea has a weird taste almost like an artificial sweetener. Really did not like
