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.

    A Relaxing Cup of Tea

    Like most of the August teas which I like, this one relaxes and calms, physically and mentally. I find the different teas August have blended to be like well mixed cocktails. This one, Avalon, is still new to me but it definitely is in the same high quality category as the other August teas I love and drink daily. Because I drink a lot of tea each day and never the same cup twice, Avalon is a great addition to my "tea library."

    Pie

    Another of my favorites, just like an apple pie. It’s also one of my cold tea favorites as well.

    Another big winner from August

    I love this tea with its apple forward profile. Not quite sweet enough to be a dessert tea but still, very much, like a home made hot apple pie. Great with honey and milk.

    Not what I was expecting.

    My first cup was a total surprise. I like oolong tea but paired with this hint of apple, perfect. It brought oolong kind of out of its hiding place. Its long and soft but with corrector. Made this long Winter more bareable.
