Superb tea with delicious astringency and Macintosh-like caramelized apple notes.
Just for Fun: Brandy, a hearty liquor usually made from the pulp and skin of grapes originated in the southern regions of Europe during the middle ages. The word Brandy however comes from the Dutch word brandewijn, which means burnt wine. Dutch traders who discovered the drink in France and Spain named it as such owing to the fact that Brandy was "burnt," or boiled in order to distill it. It is also believed that Dutch people were the first to bake freshly picked apples with brandy thus creating the fabulous flavor combination of brandied apple. Brandied apple is wonderful - the tart character of apple is deliciously offset by raw brandy undertones with an ever so subtle hint of grape. The Dutch were truly on to something when they concocted that one. Well, our Master Taster himself is a Dutchman so we decided we just had to offer this flavor as a tea. Brew yourself a pot and note how the astringency of our high grown Ceylon subtly balances the nuances of the brandied apple profile. And the next time someone asks what the Dutch have done for you lately? Well, you now have an answer!
