My quest for a good, strong apple-flavored tea continues. Harney & Sons' Hot Apple Spice, while a very nice cuppa, is still not that tea. It bills itself as a blend of apples, cinnamon, orange peel and ground cloves. All of the latter flavors are fully represented. The apples are noticeably absent. It smells of apples in the tin, but that's about the only association with apple I get here. It's more or less like drinking a variant of Harney & Sons's Hot Cinnamon Spice. While this is not a bad thing, it's not what I signed up for.
It's possible that the tin I got was old (as I bought it off a shelf at a small shop, and who knows how long it had been there). Since cinnamon, orange peel, cloves and black tea make for a fine holiday-time brew, I'll finish the tin regardless.
