A celebration of the apple! Fresh apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, and rose hips create a slightly tangy, juicy treat. Sweetness like a candied apple, fresh tart-floral notes of crispy crab apples. A delightfully refreshing cup, naturally caffeine-free and with no sugar or other sweeteners.

“ The sour apple tea has elicited a wide range of reactions, with its hallmark being the vibrant, tart flavor that many liken to a sour green apple Jolly Rancher. Its vivid red hue and refreshing tartness make it stand out. The hibiscus and rose hips significantly contribute to its sour profile, yet when balanced with a bit of sugar or honey, it can remind one of a sweet, spicy apple cider. While its sourness was welcomed by many, especially in cold brews or as a mixer, others found it overpowering, preferring to moderate it with sweeteners or blend it with other teas. The consensus appreciates its unique, bold flavor, with some finding it a delightful choice, while others recommend moderation or customization to suit personal tastes. ”
“ Sour apple is amazing! Love the smell of the loose tea when I opened the bag and the same aroma continued once I brewed my cup! And it tastes just like it smells:) ”
“ Deliciously apple-y, reminiscent of autumn and summer flavors at once. Despite what other reviewers are saying, I wish it was more tart! For a simple tea, the flavors are quite complex, lending credence to the jolly roger green apple candy flavor people have mentioned tasting. I also get notes of warmth from the rose hips, cutting through the major acidity. Haven't tried it iced, but I can imagine it's delicious and refreshing. Great, overall! ”

Ingredients & Lore
blended with apple pieces, hibiscus, rose hips, rose hips & natural apple flavor
Granny Smith apples are some of the most famous apples in the world. Popular in baking, they are known for their tart, acidic flavor - which lends itself both to sweet and savory flavors, their ability to add brightness to dishes like salads or sides, and their crisp bite, which is useful for both sandwiches and snacks. Granny Smith apples are also known as sour apples, with their distinctive green color transferring over to candies, drinks, syrups, and more of the same flavor. They are named for Maria Ann Smith, who bred the first Granny Smith apples in 1868.
