Avalon: Burnt Apple Oolong Tea

$13.75
Size

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.

Pure Sunshine in the Orchard

Open it up and take a deep inhale of the grassy, slightly floral Oolong. Like sun shining down on an apple orchard. The apple is toasty yet still bright, like the perfect apple pie. Oolong is my favorite tea and the burnt apple just enhances its characteristics. I love this one! In my top five for sure!

Bright, Yet Warm like Autumn

Oolong has been a dear favorite tea of mine since I first tried it from August! Eventide was such a favorite and is dearly missed. However, I’m currently crushing on Avalon with its tightly wound pearls of flavor unfurled themselves in my cup, along with the bright juicy bits of Turkish apple and the sweet taste of burnt caramel in the background to add even more depth. It’s Autumn without the spice, in its more pure form. Reminiscent of an orchard in the mountains, accompanied by wafts of campfire in the cool October breeze.
