“This is technically supposed to be an iced tea, and the leaf was quite broken, so I only steeped it for two minutes instead of my usual three. It’s okay. In my opinion, there’s not enough...” Read full tasting note
Origin: House Blend
Flavor: passionfruit, coconut
Like all good Alaskans, we used to make annual pilgrimages to Hawaii and one of our favorite places was the Big Island. A friend introduced us lilikoi margaritas made with the bright yellow Hawaiian passionfruit – the best thing after a day in the sun.
This juicy, refreshing blend is a tribute to the before times (kids and covid, folks) with tropical passionfruit and a touch of creamy coconut. As an iced tea, it is so smooth and refreshing, no sweetener needed! If you brew it hot, drink it black or with a bit of coconut milk.
INGREDIENTS: organic black teas, organic Cape gooseberry (goldenberry), organic coconut, natural passionfruit flavor, organic lemon oil
We first met in Alaska 13 years ago, where we both grew up. We both liked adventure and the look of each other. Thirteen years and a couple of kids later we started Apolis Tea. During our combined 25 years in the tea industry, we’ve learned a lot about tea. We’ve also learned the importance of developing long-term relationships you can rely on. This means we have some old-fashioned ideas about being prompt, available, and reliable. Every successful business has a reason for being. A purpose that guides its decisions and ultimately defines it. Ours is craftsmanship. Our craft is in the art of blending and the science of sourcing teas and ingredients. Our producers are craftsmen and women as well; together, we work to create noteworthy teas you will get excited about. The history of tea is as much about innovation as it is about tradition. We are always looking for new ingredients that no one else works with. We make a point to work with producers who work with interesting cultivars and use biodynamic or organic farming techniques. We promise that every tea holds true to tradition but also brings a little something special. We hope to hear from you soon. A + A
