Having recently switched to drinking all of my teas with no added sweetener to them (in an effort to lose weight), I’ve been choosing teas that I think would taste best without sugar in them to drink. This is one of those teas, naturally sweetened with the flavor of apples and mulling spices.
There is a definite ‘apple cider’ tone to the flavor and aroma; however the spices are strong enough that it is much more of a spiced tea than an apple tea, even though the apple is definitely noticeable as a flavor note.
Culinary Teas describes this tea as:
Our Mulled Spice tea is a wonderful tea with overtones of cinnamon and apple. A ‘Home Sweet Home’, aroma.
Made with all natural flavorings.
This tea is best served hot, especially during the fall and winter months. As I mentioned, it does well without any sweetener, but if you like sugar in your tea I think it would probably balance out the strong spices a bit better. Also does well with or without milk.
Cinnamon is a prevalent theme throughout this tea, including the aroma of the dried and spent leaves, the flavor and the aftertaste. This is a PERFECT tea for fall and winter! A must-buy!

I am a student at Seattle University and am researching the loose-leaf tea industry. This is all very new to me – I was raised with a mother who always had bags of Lipton, and I was unaware that there was a whole tea culture out there. I would greatly appreciate it if avid tea drinkers would take a few minutes to fill out this market research survey I created:

Thank you so much for your help! I am fascinated by everything I am learning and am really excited to start brewing loose-leaf teas on my own.
