I received my holiday Dessert By Deb haul this morning, and this is the first blend that I opted to try.
The coconut took me out of enjoying this blend fully, unfortunately. I don’t get an essence that screams ‘apple pie’ in the scent nor in the flavour once steeped. The coconut does a well enough job at mimicking the taste of pie crust and there’s a nice natural sweetness throughout, but the apple-cinnamon profile that is the epitome of apple pie is incredibly light. Almost to the point of being nonexistent.
I’m not sure if my deviating from the suggested steeping parameters had a hand in my non-positive experience, but I will make sure to play around with the steeping on my next go-around with this tea. I’m not ready to give up on it just yet.
I got this one too in my latest order! So excited to try it! :)
