This was included as a sample. Thank you! I’m not quite ready for Christmas/winter blends but I’ll take it.
It’s such a cinnamon apple tea – with the sweet, non-burning kind of ginger that tends to blend well with other spices & ingredients (and my brain likes to pretend it’s not actually ginger). A hint of vanilla and some creamy (almond thin) nuttiness round this out into a lovely seasonal beverage (a fancy, not quite hot apple cider). Not bad!
I’ve a few spiced apple teas right now (I don’t even love apples), and this one is definitely the least “candied”.. but also maybe the most perfume-like. It’s pretty smooth and heady with the milk.
Flavors: Almond, Apple, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutty, Spices, Vanilla

I don’t remember this one at all for some reason, though I know I’ve tried it. Clearly I didn’t love it! XD
It’s alright, and am not sad at the idea that it will show up again as a part of the Advent. I just… wish this sample had been another tea (like a citrus or non-seasonal one).
I kind of regret not picking up more of their regular teas beyond Oolong Caramel au Beurre salé (my thing). Definitely want to try the Lassi, Mangosteen, and Oolong Banane Myrtille (and all the oolong) now :P
Is their shipping to Canada ridiculous?
Their shipping came to approx $17.20 CAD (12 Euros). I got three tea parcels yesterday (Whispering Pines, Mariage Frères), and DF were by far (sadly) the most affordable, and the best deal"tea price/weight" wise.
Their shipping isn’t awful for being from Europe, and their teas are quite affordable for the most part, so it sort of balances out.
Whispering Pines shipping was 17.31 CAD. MF was unspeakable due to UPS and brokerage fees; I love their teas but seems more rewarding to pick up more while travelling EU or Tokyo.
@Cameron B. Yeah, that’s the conclusion I came to!
Thank you both for your insights. I may one day go there. In another weak moment.
Brokerage yet! GAH! Spending outrageously on tea is one thing. Spending on all these extra things on top is something else entirely.
Go, Team CrowKettle!
Yeah, this week I’ve had a weak moment or two.
The only thing preventing me from reordering from DF right now is the knowledge that there are some interesting looking teas in the advent calendar and I should at least wait until I’ve tried all of them T.T
CrowKettle, we are of one mind and spirit. I adore you!
I’m plotting an order currently, and I’m also trying to avoid teas that I’ll get to try in the advent…
Another DF order? (i’m absolutely not Judging.). But why order now when the calendar will present potentially unknown delights? Not that I have any sort of strategic mind when it comes to losing my mind with teas. And they said that this was an inexpensive hobby…
Well I’m ordering the advent so clearly some teas need to accompany it so it won’t get lonely… ;)
I let my advent get lonely. Don’t be me. It was such a big, light box full of nothing but an extra 100g of oolong. There could’ve easily been 200g of oolong. Poor life choices D:
Clearly, Cameron, clearly.
Could’ve been 200 g. Admirable self restraint.
I love tea logic.
Eyeing the calendar too and all their caramel teas. Maybe.
Ah, I’ve been wishing to do a DF order in the last couple of days… I will be living through all of your notes. :D
