Interestingly, I had no idea what tea this was when I drank it. This sachet is just labelled 8225 (blend number) and then has some Japanese writing that I can’t read. It came in a taster set that I bought in Los Vegas a few years back. I needed to finish off some of these so that I could have room for the new Lupicia blends.
Full disclosure: This teabag is slightly old (~2 years) and I drank this with milk.
I dislike green apples and any apple flavoured candy. Strangely, I enjoyed this blend. I actually thought it might be some sort of white grape blend because it had a very fruity but slightly floral flavour. In the aftertaste, there is a distinct “booze” kind of flavour that made me think of ice wine.
It did not taste like green apple candy at all (thankfully)! There is no sweetness. Although, now that I know what it is, I can make out the apple notes. I’m going to drink the rest of the teabags without looking up which tea it is. I think I enjoy them more without having preconceived notions about the flavour.
Flavors: Apple, Floral, Fruity, White Grapes, White Wine

I need to pull this one out and have a cup, I remember liking it and your note is very encouraging! :)
This is one of the teas I picked up in the Lupicia group order. I too am looking forward to trying it after seeing your note. From the sound of it, seems this will make a good cold brew.
