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.

New Depth of Flavor
If you already love oolong tea but want a newfound depth of flavor this is the tea for you. The burnt apple adds a refreshing twist to the already beloved oolong flavor. I personally prefer it iced but it is divine either way.

Excellent.
I love this one. I find it to have a very comforting feel. both the oolong and the apple are well balanced in the flavor. If you are afraid of the word "burnt" don't be. I admit I was a bit because the smoky flavors weren't my favorite but this is an exceptional taste. I will definitely purchase this. I wish I could get a tin of this, and a tin for all of the ones I really enjoyed. I hope they will be available soon.

Surprising!
I originally was disappointed with this tea. On the first steep, the oolong overpowered the apple, and I couldn't taste any of the subtleties. On the second steep, however, I found myself able to taste the blend much better. The apple taste is still a bit weak to what I'd like, but it's quite pleasant!
