FORTNUM & MASON ADVENT DAY 9
I was so excited to see that my first fruit tea is apple! I loved Little Women from Harney and Sons which is an apple flavored green tea and imagined this to be the black tea version.
I was a little surprised that the dry leaf doesn’t smell like apple. I was more surprised that the steeped tea didn’t taste like apple.
The leaf pieces are bigger in this blend than yesterday’s Ceylon and the Chinese black tea base is really good. Is something wrong with me? I can not detect apple! If anything, I would call this a hint of pear if I really closed my eyes and thought hard about pears while drinking it.
Maybe it needs a stir? Maybe I am not good at tasting things. Maybe English apples have little flavor. Maybe they put the wrong tea in my tin.
It’s good tea, I just never would have pegged it for apple.

LOL! So you, me, and the other person I know who has this advent all have different teas today. XD
I think we have only coincided with two? See if they put my apples in your apple tea! Ha ha!
I have this one today, yay! :D
I agree that the apple is very subtle. I do get a hint of crisp green apple though!
I will tey it again this weekend and think really hard about apples when I drink it and see if that helps! I agree it is a really good Chinese base and I enjoyed it!
