sour apple
by adagio teas
(35 reviews)
A celebration of the apple! Fresh apple pieces, hibiscus flowers and rose hips create a slightly tangy, juicy treat. Sweetness like a candied apple, fresh tart-floral notes of crispy crab apples. A delightfully refreshing cup, naturally caffeine free and with no sugar or other sweeteners. Steep at 212°F for 5-10 minutes

I like apple teas, and this was an interesting change up in the test profile. More tartness and less cinnamon than I am used to, which in my opinion is a good thing!

What a delightful tangy juicy treat with some adagio honey (BEES) I do like this tea mixed with other flavors.

Sweet, tart appley aroma. 212 @ 5 min. Strong hibiscus tartness, but the apple is lost. I'll try cold brewing this next time and hopefully the hibiscus is tamed so the apple comes through.

This one's not great unless you basically just want a hibiscus tea. It's extremely sour and doesn't really taste at all like apple, just hibiscus. It's great if you want hibiscus, but at that point you could just buy some hibiscus.

Very distinct flavors. Little sweeter goes a long way. very easy to enjoy. I love the fruity flavor. Had it warm today but I imagine it would taste fab cold as well.

Oh, it's sour alright. Sour because hibiscus is sour. Very little apple flavor to speak of, just overpowering hibiscus. Yuck.

This herbal is definitely hibiscus forward, but I love the tartness of hibiscus! Lovely apple taste. I like this one hot, but it's also good cold-brewed. Yummy!

Strong flavor of hibiscus and sour apple candy. Quite good, though not my favorite apple tea. My husband loves it.

Crisp autumn vibes, with true and natural tasting sour apple flavor, with tartness enhanced with rose hips and a lot of hibiscus and a pleasant juiciness (without being too much like actual juice). I bought a medium bag last Fall, and again this Fall. This is also great in blends going for a hot apple cider vibe (like 5,000 Candles blend on Adagio).

The hibiscus and rose hips add a pretty red color to this tea--and a lot of tartness! With a little sweetener it reminded me of the green apple Jolly Rancher candy. Ok, but not my cup of tea.

The first thing you'll notice when you steep this tea is the water starts out bright crimson and turns violet as it continues to steep. It's a delicious apple-based herbal that I would drink all the time if I had any.

Love this tea. Reminds me of a sour candy. Sour with a tiny bit of sweetness. Enjoyable.

The whole time I drank this I was thinking it tasted just like a Jolly Rancher. It was way too sour for me. This was a big fat no, couldn't even finish my cup. Way too much hibiscus.

This has a very accurate sour apple flavor. but that means it's very artificial. Like sour apply jolly ranchers or something like that. It's good, but I prefer other fruit teas from adagio.

Strong juicy apple flavors and tartness from the hibiscus. I liked the sour but its very on the back end of the tea, almost like an aftertaste, still a strong flavor. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys apples and sour!

A bit too tart for my taste, but the apple flavor is definitely there. Much better iced though. Blends well with other lighter fruit teas.

Stunning ruby colored tea, extremely sour flavor thanks to the hibiscus. Great iced!

Beautiful red color, good hot or cold and tart. Sour Apple, believe it. I love apple teas, perfect for autumn cider season. naturally Caffeine free hrbal slightly tangy, juicy treat. a delightfully refreshing cup. I added a little honey you could add a little cream too.

This pretty red tea was tart and tasty! I didn't add sweetener to mine but I bet it would be good with a bit of honey.

Such a pretty color! It's tart, but really tasty! It would probably be amazing with caramel or cinnamon flavor. On it's own it's delicious and would probably be fantastic iced.

Really nice crisp tart apple flavor. By itself it can almost be too tart, but with the addition of a little sugar or honey it becomes a nice balanced apple tea.

I loved this tea! It was definitely sour and I loved how fruity it was. It reminds me of a fruit roll up. I highly recommend serving it as an iced tea though
