Not a fan of rooibos, but it does take a backseat in this tea. This tea tastes a bit like applesauce or cinnamon apple oatmeal. It focuses more on the apple than the cinnamon, which I like.

I'm not a red rooibos fan, but brewing this for 15 minutes seems to be the key to make it sippable. I added a little bit of simple syrup and it tasted like cinnamon apple cider.

The smell of apples and cinnamon from the packet is drool worthy. Scooped from my sample size pack for the best representation. Cinnamon and apple is a favorite combination for me and I was excited to taste this tea. 5 min @ 212 After steeping the aroma was muted and the wood smell of rooibos comes through. The flavor was quite a disappointment, nothing close to the vibrant aroma. A hint of cinnamon flavor and light apple aftertaste. After having Fiery Cinnamon Spice, all cinnamon will be compared to that sweetness, and this doesn't hold up. Second steep for 10 min didn't bring out stronger flavors like I hoped. Hoping the chai version is better.

I adore this one, though I wish the cinnamon was a little heavier, so I always add a couple cinnamon sticks to the teapot and then it's perfect. Has a warm apple pie taste and gentle sweetness. Perfect in fall in my little apple shaped teapot!

Some flavors combine really well with rooibos and some don't for me....but cinnamon definitely works! This tea is just lovely -- I prefer it hot with just a touch of stevia. The aroma is wonderful the the taste is incredibly relaxing. Love it!

Pretty good tea that tastes strongly of cinnamon and apples but it’s not quite strong enough to overpower the taste of red rooibos tea. For some that might be a plus, because the flavors are complementary, but I don’t really care for the taste of red rooibos.

This is delicious however I felt it was lacking just a bit on the cinnamon . Still very good though. I have repurchased.

Some of the reviewers on the parent site say this blend very strongly resembles apple cider. The last time I tried apple cider was in Kindergarten so I don't have any sort of memory to compare the claim. What I can say is that I don't taste much other than rooibos. Another taster in the house said they could, but maybe I'm just too sensitive to rooibos to find it.

This was a pretty good rooibos. I especially enjoyed it with cream and sugar.

This is a delicious caffeine free tisane when steeped at 195 degrees for 4 minutes. It is wonderful on its own but even better with a bit of sweetening and a splash of cream. A bit of frothing or whipped cream makes a great sweet, spicy latte.

I was able to make it through 2 sips and had to pitch it. Disclaimer: I can't stand rooibos, and tried this as part of the CommuniTea. I also don't like those spongy little apple pieces in my tea, they freak me out! Sorry Adagio, I love most of your teas, but this one was a hard pass.

Pleasant apple cinnamon flavors. Rooibos is present, but not overpowering. I'd love it to have a stronger cinnamon flavor. (212° x 5 min)

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Rooibos teas but this cinnamon apple changed me into a lover of rooibos teas. It was delicious

One of my favorites for cold weather. It reminds me of drinking apple cider, but in tea form.

This one is delicious! So much better than I anticipated. More cinnamon than apple. Rooibos makes the perfect base.

I really wanted to like this, but the cinnamon flavor is very weak and the apple is too. It tastes like watery cinnamon and with cream it just tastes like bland milk.

It took a bit of getting used to - initially the herbal rooibos was too much and I didn't like it. But the taste mellowed out and got better as I kept sipping. I do love the scent though - mmmm - classic apple cinnamon, like a granola bar or oatmeal.

Less like a warm apple pie and more like apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies. Still good though.

By itself the apple flavor is far too light and overpowered by the cinnamon. A little bit of honey helps bring out the apple but still not the best cinnamon apple out there.

Not a fan of the cinnamon flavor in this tea. Did not really feel the apple flavor either

This has a light spiced apple cider aroma, but the flavor is just very weak. It mostly just tastes like rooibos with a bit of cinnamon.

Apples and cinnamon are always a good combination and this is no exception. I love the flavor and it's not so strong that you can't taste the rooibos.

The apple flavor is too light and is overshadowed with the cinnamon flavor. It's a good tea if you really like cinnamon, but I would not get this again.
