Ok let's start with something I am sad about. I used to love how David's Tea was all natural and used no sweeteners in their blends. What happened? It is so hard to find a tea now without artificial flavoring or stevia added. On to this specific tea, they say this tea will "bring you back to your childhood", but will it really? Let's find out
Ingredients: Green tea, Apple, Cinnamon, Artificial Flavoring (apple, cinnamon)
Steep Time: 5 mins (they recommend 3-4 minutes but I like a strong tea)
Amount: 1 "perfect teaspoon" (approx. 1.5 teaspoons) in approximately 16oz of hot water.
Colour: green
Smell: pleasant smell of an apple pie with a green tea undertone
Sweeteners: none
Stars: 3.5/5
Taste: This tea has a strong flavor of cinnamon and apple. However there is a clear artificial taste to it, it isn't completely off putting but I don't like it. Once it gets cold (because I'm a mom and we get distracted) it is bitter and gross. Once cold the artificial flavor is more obvious and the teas begins to taste like a burnt apple pie. Honestly I feel they should have added more fruit and cinnamon pieces and just left out the artificial nastiness.
Bottomline: this is an okay tea. I won't be buying it again but I don't entirely feel like I wasted my money. Did it bring me back to my childhood? The smell did but the flavor did not.
