Description: Apple pie, turning leaves, crackling fires – fall is all about familiar comforts. But it’s also a season for daydreaming. Cozied up in front of the fire with a hot mug of tea and a good book, our minds often wander to adventures in faraway lands. From the first cup of this exotic tea, you’ll find yourself dreaming about the intrigue and romance of ancient Persia. An alluring blend of green tea, apple, pistachios and rose petals, one sip is all it takes to whisk you away.
Ingredients: Organic: Green tea, apple, pistachio, almond, rose petals. With natural and organic flavouring.
Allergens: nuts
(From David's Tea: Organic Persian Apple)
Steph's Thoughts:
This is a nice morning tea. It's sweet enough that it doesn't need sugar. If you like apple but not the spices in apple pie, then this is a good tea. You can definitely taste the rose, but it's not like, "OMG WHAT IS THIS?! EW!" Subtle rose, rather than overwhelming rose. Definitely exotic. It really smells lovely.
It tastes much better warm than it does lukewarm or cold. Personally, I think it could be a little more apple-y. Maybe the other apple teas would satisfy this craving. Big Apple is a white tea/ green tea blend with apples. Mom's Apple Pie is an online exclusive with green tea, apples and cinnamon. I haven't tried either of them, but my friend Carly says that Big Apple is totally made of win. The downside to Big Apple is that because it's a white tea, it's a little more expensive than the others. Also, Big Apple and Mom's Apple Pie both have a medium amount of caffeine (2 on their scale, 35-80 mg/cup, which is still less than coffee), whereas Persian Apple has a low caffeine level (1, 1-35 mg/cup). Because they're green teas, they won't be caffeine free. However, if you're looking for a caffeine free tea, I know David's Tea has a few herbals with apple in them, though they won't be "apple flavoured."
I'd like to try the other apple teas to compare. I'm having tea with Carly on Sunday, so maybe I'll get her to brew me some Big Apple, if she'll share!
Verdict: Not bad. It smells wonderful.
