From Trader Nicks Tea Company

Aromas of fresh baked fruit pies cooling on the cottage window make this a Fall favorite. Sweet notes of apple, cranberry, and spice are blended with rolled black tea leaves that mirror the Evil Queen’s dark twisted soul.

Tasting Notes: apple | spice | tart

Channel your inner villain with this black tea mixture that is truly the fairest of all teas. Aromas of this villainous brew will have you envisioning poison apples and falling into a spell over how tasty it is!

Warming sweet flavors of apple pie and fresh baked fruit tarts with notes of pomegranate, cranberry, and spice all come together to create a devilishly delicious dessert.

Also in the blend is a high grade of rolled black tea leaves called black snail; while there are no actual snails used, these tiny balls of black and gold tea leaves give an ominous look to the blend and create a fullness in the flavor profile.

The blend is finished off with a sprinkling of hibiscus flowers, which gives the brewed tea a slightly reddish hue and just a bit of tartness.

Ingredients: black tea, apple, raisins, flavor, almonds, cranberry & raspberry pieces, pomegranate arils, peony petals, black snail rolled tea, hibiscus

Another single serving.

This one smelled good in the package, but it’s just not working for me. For some reason it came out quite bland, even though I only made an 8-ounce cup and there were about two teaspoons of leaf. I can smell the apple, but it’s not showing up well in the flavor, and the black base is coming off as unpleasantly musty. Then the hibiscus comes in at the end and leaves an unpleasant dryness on my tongue (in combination with the black tea tannins, I assume). There’s also a weird powdery finish, and a hint of soap?

Just no on all accounts ha ha, oh well!

Soap? There was soap in your tea? Well, then, now you get to either do some free swearing, or pull a buck outta your swear-jar!

Ha ha, thankfully just a hint! Sometimes I get that from lavender, but I assume it was from one of the flavorings here.

(just first be sure there weren’t traces of Palmolive dishsoap under your fingernails… LoL)

One of two cups of tea I made for myself this morning!

The initial taste is soft, warm baked apple with notes of cinnamon and an almost slightly roasty quality to the undertones. Like last time, I’m not tasting pomegranate but that doesn’t bug me since the baked apple notes are so pleasant. However, the finish is kind of weird? It’s got a very slight hint of what tastes, to me, like Play-Doh? I wonder if that it a side effect of pour aging? It doesn’t seem like it should be from any of the ingredients listed, but it’s definitely very present in the aftertaste for me…
