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.

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.
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.
Thank you for your honest review, Laura. We're sorry you didn’t love Avalon: Burnt Apple Oolong Tea. Our Customer Support Team would be happy to recommend a tea you might enjoy
Delicious hot or iced!
Love how silky and delicious this is
The apple flavor is light and subtle and complements the oolong well. I love enjoying this with a few drops of stevia or monk fruit. Pairs well with a light lunch or some cheese and crackers.
