I tried using a little more leaf this time and I think that helped to improve the taste compared to the last time I tried this tea, but I still don’t love it. I do get hits of apple every once in a while, but I’m still getting a strange taste that I’m not really sure how to describe…maybe plasticy or chemically? I preferred this hot; when it cooled, the strange taste seemed to come out even more. I have enough leaf remaining to experiment with one or two more times, but I’m not sure what to try next. This one may just not be for me. I think I’ll stick to Della Terra’s Classic Apple Pie, that one is sooo yummy!
