Beltane

burnt apple oolong tea

Rated 4.1 out of 5
Based on 121 reviews

This version of Avalon is a happy accident.  It was blended with a green oolong tea, instead of the dark roasted oolong we specified. For a limited time, we will have this deliciously light Green Avalon blend available.

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.

Now known as Avalon

Ooh this one is good! The apple really adds a new dimension to the oolong flavor. It’s just as good on a second infusion.

Sip my way to health

Green Oolong tea with beautifully sweet and smokey apple chunks is an amazing combo of health and an unforgettable flavor that'll leave you craving more! Add a dash of nutmeg n cinnamon for a spiced version with even more health benefits! Hands down one of my top 5 tea's from August so far!

Tasty!

I LOVED the fact that there's an apple tea out there, but I need a tea (like Psychocandy) that has a LOT of flavor, and not subtle, like Avalon is. Other than that, it was a beautiful cup!

Caramel, Earthy Combo!

I enjoy the overlap of apple and spinach notes in this blend. I prefer this tea hot with a teaspoon of honey. The sweetness in the apple is much more pronounced with the added honey.

Meh

I've now tried this about six times, and with multiple infusions. The green style of oolong is underwhelming in this context. Some apple is detected, but barely any caramel. The oolong backbone needs to be a smokey style. A beautiful complex oolong usually does not need ANY additions, it's like wine. So the combination has to provoke a wow response, especially at a premium price. This is just weak and confusing.
