I struggled a bit naming today’s blend – it’s reminiscent of a German christmas market tea I’ve had before, which is somewhat like mulled wine, without the wine? It’s got those sweet apple notes, fresh orange notes, but also this caramel touch that makes it so satisfying. And sometimes the best things in life are hard to describe, but wonderful to just enjoy and not worry too much about what to call it.
I love this tea iced; I know many of you drink iced tea year-round, but also a glass of iced tea is super refreshing sitting by the fire or enjoyed after a busy few hours in front of a hot stove!
INGREDIENTS: Carrot Pieces, Apple Pieces, Blackberry Leaf, Calendula, Apple/Orange Essences

Day 2 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent calendar. The instructions suggested cold brewing this one, so I set it up this morning in order to be able to enjoy it as an evening cuppa. The dry leaf has a creamy, almost vanilla frosting smell that, combined with the visible carrot pieces, made me think that this was a carrot cake blend at first (the packets aren’t labeled with the names of the teas). Actually drinking it, though, it definitely has a candy apple flavor – sweet apple up front, a hint of caramel mid-sip, and a candied orange peel note running parallel. It’s a bit of an odd flavor profile for an iced tea; it works, it’s just a combo I’d more readily associate with a hot beverage.
I really like that there’s enough tea every day to try it out a few different ways, but not SO much that it’s overwhelming and hard to get through. It allowed me to brew up a big mug of this blend hot for comparison. It was still good, with the same candy apple and candied orange peel flavors, but there’s also an earthy note – maybe from the calendula? It’s not bad, it doesn’t really add or detract from the flavor profile, it’s just… there. I can see why they recommend the cold brew, it really is better that way!
Flavors: Apple, Candied Fruit, Caramel
