Apple Refresh is a light, nearly floral aromatic experience. This black tea offers a body that blends apple flavor with light astringency when brewed properly.

Nothing about the flavor seems artificial or forced, which is very nice. The apple is very strong on the nose but the body yields this scent to remind you that this is a flavored black tea and not a fruit infusion.

This is a delightful afternoon pick me up or compliment to snacking. I would purchase a box on its own for summertime enjoyment or a very pleasant iced tea.

I was not really impressed with this one at all.

The body was light, but the taste was of basil. I didn’t pick up much blueberry. There’s a little bit on the nose but no taste of berry after that. To be fair, I had some blueberry oatmeal before drinking this but even contrasting the super sweet flavors of the oatmeal I couldn’t taste blueberry in my tea.

What green tea flavor there is, becomes muted by this strong herbal leafy taste. There’s a decent amount of astringency but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a good thing either.

Will be leaving this freebie aside in favor of a better cup.
