Avalon: Burnt Apple Oolong Tea

Tastes Like: baked apples, burnt caramel, petrichor
Feels Like: warm september rain
Inspired by the French tarte tatin, apple tart flambéed with Calvados, this tea has the deep flavors of burnt sugar, caramelized apples, and a flash of brandy. Imagine a slice of warm apple tart on a rainy autumn day. The nutty flavor of formosa roasted oolong has an aroma like petrichor, the lovely scent after a fresh rain. The aromatic base lets the baked apple flavor shine. In the finish there’s a subtle tartness of baked apple peel. Delicious both hot and iced. A touch of milk creates an even richer caramel flavor. This blend was created in collaboration with the Los Angeles restaurant Bestia. The name Avalon refers to the mythical Celtic island of apples. For us, Bestia conjures Bestiaries, the medieval compendium of mythical creatures, so Avalon seemed a perfect name.
A tea for luxurious afternoons.

After reading the reviews, I was curious and anxious to try Avalon. The fragrance out of the bag is amazing so I was very excited. I heated the water to the oolong, setting and steeped About four minutes, Added some honey, but a little disappointed that there wasn’t much taste. I wanted to really enjoy this so the 2nd cup. I increased the temperature and the time, but still not finding a robust flavor. Very, very subtle flavors, but I guess I was expecting a little more!

Perfect afternoon tea, with a little cream like a slice of pie a la mode

Avalon slaps. Seriously. I've had a lot of bad teas, good teas, and great teas. This one? Reigns supreme. A clear, strong oolong flavor with a light, refreshing note of apple throughout. Actually tastes like autumn in a cup. Perfect for all weather, but especially nice to sip during cold or rainy days. I keep this one in my regular rotation.
- LLauraVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars3 months agoTastes extremely smoky like cigarettes to me
Not a fan of the overly smoky oolong notes that are reminiscent of tamales or tobacco, not for me. Loved the apple notes, it would taste like apple cider if a different black tea were used. Just hated this one though.
