A delightful tea with a caramel apple taste and a light twist of cinnamon. Reminiscent of the classic candy caramel apple treat. The best part? It won’t get stuck in your teeth or hair.
Ingredients:
black tea, apple pieces, natural caramel apple flavor and cinnamon bark

Strange VariaTEA TTB – Tea #2
So I had already steeped this up when I remembered that I think Angry Tea Room used to sell Adagio teas? And I am not generally a fan of their teas so I probably should have left this sample for someone else, heh heh…
Oh well, too late! I noticed the tea darkening very quickly, so I stopped steeping at 2.5 minutes instead of my usual 3. It is very slightly bitter, but nothing too distracting. The flavor is somewhat faint, but I can taste both caramel and apple. The caramel is perhaps slightly stronger, and it has a buttery taste to it. The base is quite strong though, and it does overpower the flavors a bit. Also the bitterness is starting to build slightly as a sip, which isn’t helping.
I added a drizzle of oat milk to the second half of this, and that did help curb the bitterness and astringency a bit, and made it taste like some kind of caramel apple crumble with oats. Still, not something I would buy as 99% of the time I drink my tea plain. But it looks like Angry Tea Room isn’t around anymore anyway?
Result: Finished Off
Flavors: Apple, Artificial, Astringent, Bitter, Butter, Caramel, Tannic, Tea
additional notes: I THOUGHT this would be the tea that is similar or same to Arthur Dove’s Caramel Apple Betty. But no match here again. Even visibly, it doesn’t look the same, with mostly black tea, meaning relying on flavoring rather than ingredients, with an occasional tiny piece of cinnamon. The Arthur Dove blend has many more pieces in it that aren’t black tea. Drinking it now, this was previously my favorite caramel apple tea… I really liked this! But I think this is now replaced by the Arthur Dove. I think that is all the teas I have in the “cupboard” that might be similar to the Arthur Dove… so I will stop looking! But the Arthur Dove is probably my new second favorite apple tea, after Simpson & Vail’s French Toast.
Aw that’s sad that they closed! I thought their branding was amusing.
Aw, this is news to me that Angry Tea Room closed. Sadly they removed most of my favorites teas they had (including this one) so it was hard for me to justify ordering anymore.
I didn’t see anywhere that they outright said they had closed, but the website is no longer there.
