      I liked this one, it is not just apple spice like so many apple themed teas. You can taste the caramel undertones too!

      This isn't my cup of tea. It smelled like apples but didn't taste much like them.

    • 

      This delicious tea tastes just like candy apples. It's sweet and has a good apple taste with a hint of cinnamon. It's a great fall tea!

      This tea reminds me of a carnival in that it tastes exactly like a traditional candy apple!

    • 

      This tastes very much like what it claims to be, especially iced and especially if you steep it for a bit longer than recommended.

    • 

      This is a terrific mix of apple and caramel flavors in a great tea. I steeped at 190 degrees for 4 minutes and added sugar and milk.

      Lovely fall/holiday tea. I love sipping this tea when it's chilly outside....sweet, caramel apple taste and aroma. Very warming and comforting cup of tea!

    • 

      The cinnamon is overpowering, so it is more like apple pie than candy apple. I'd like a caramel apple flavor better, without the in-your-face cinnamon.

      While I'm glad that I tried this, I won't ever purchase again. It had an overwhelming synthetic smell and was way too sweet for me.

    • 

      This tea isn't my favorite, the apple flavor is too strong for my taste but it has a nice sweetness even honey

    • 

      I just love the caramel apple 'Candy Apple' black tea. The caramel comes out strong, and the apple is mild but taste like warm apple pie. or (kind of like apple sauce) This holiday tea is perfect for blending Halloween fandom blends.

    • 

      It's a nice caramel-apple tea. Only really noticed the cinnamon when I was trying to taste it. All the same, I really wish Adagio would bring back their plain apple tea, since I do miss it.

    • 

      This tea is more fresh and crisp than I was expecting. I thought it might be really sweet since it was named Candy Apple, but I was pleasantly surprised. This makes a great cup if tea for the fall season!

    • 

      Lovely black tea, but would prefer a version with spice added!

    • 

      Nice cup of tea. I definitely tasted the apple and cinnamon, but didn't get the caramel--to me, it was more of a vanilla flavor. Very enjoyable on a cold morning! (undetermined temp/3 min.)

    • 

      Very strong caramel aroma from the dry tea leaves. But the caramel flavor was much milder than its aroma, even with sweetener added. I mostly tasted apple with a hint of cinnamon. No tartness or bitterness noted. (190°F x 3 min)

    • 

      Nice, smooth black tea base with just enough astringency and no bitterness. Not much apple flavor, but a nice cinnamon taste.

      This tea really lived up to it's name. I did add 1.5 tsp of raw sugar and 1 tsp of half and half to really bring forward the candy apple flavor.

      The sweet apple flavour works very well in this tea and it tastes really good.

      Very mild apple and caramel smell from the bag. VERY mild. Once brewed, it's also a mild scent. This tastes more like apple pie than candy apple. I get some spice in the background. overall, a good tea, but was expecting more candy and less pie.

    • 

      I was so excited when I saw this tea combination. This teas was delicious. I felt like I was enjoying a candy apple. Love this tea

      Nothing wrong with this tea but I mostly just get a mild caramel note on top of a good black tea.

      Adagio uses amazingly fresh dried fruit for their teas and this is no different. I expected it to be sweeter but was pleasantly suprised.

      Apple taste combined with sugary sweetness. Not bad at all.

      I wish the apple flavor was a little stronger, but it's there and I like it with a good dose of honey.

    • 

      I love apple teas! i added some honey which really brought out even more apple and cinnamon notes. I steeped for 5 mins and 212 degrees.

    • 

      I thought the caramel stole the show. It might benefit from mixing with a more apple-y tea. I recommend brewing at a lower temp.

    • 

      The caramel flavor is good, but the apple flavor isn't strong enough. It's okay, better with cream and sugar, but not my favorite.

    • 

      A little too bitten to my expectation but the apple flavor is good

    • 

      This tea is delicious. It tastes exactly as it’s named. I highly recommend

      While I kind of have mixed feelings about this one, its pretty good in its own way.

      Top notch apple tea. Even though I got it in summer, it takes me straight to fall.

      I thought this tea tasted pretty good. I was able to taste the apple flavor and a subtle sweetness. I just wish they added some more apple pieces because sometimes the tea is a little too bitter.

    • 

      I got this in my tea advent calendar and quite enjoyed it!

    • 

      I first tried this as part of a fall sampler pack and knew it was a must-buy for autumn this year. It's sweet, rich, and fruity with a brush of cinnamon and toasted caramel. Not only does it taste JUST like a candy apple (making it the perfect fall flavor), but it's sweet enough satisfy my sugar cravings. A kick of caffeine also makes it the ideal brew to wake up to during September, October, and November mornings. I enjoy my serving with a sprinkle of crystallized brown sugar to complement the toasted caramel flavor.

    • 

      This is a fun seasonal tea. Great scent and slightly sweet, apple flavor.

    • 

      I love eating the little chunks of apple after boiling the tea. The tea is also really good, if a tad bitter.

    • 

      I'm still not too sure how I feel about this tea. The flavor reminds me somewhat of a medicinal smell. That being said, I did mix it with the Tiger Eye black tea and WOW, it was delicious. Tasted like a sweet Caramel Apple. This is one of my favorite blends but I don't think I'd continue to drink it separately.
