Comfort & Joy for the decaf crowd!
Being a long-term fan of RoT, I was heartbroken when I had to cut down on my caffine intake. My previous favorite Comfort & Joy was a wonderful mix of black tea & various spices, but had caffine.<br /><br />Then I tried Hot Apple Cider. It's delicious, especially with sugar as opposed to honey. (Honey overwhelms the more delicate flavors of this specific tea.) HAC strongly reminds me of Comfort & Joy, but without the caffine & one or two spices. While some may dislike the lack of caffine & the longer steeping time, many will enjoy the ease in making this tea. No worries about water temperature or forgetting to take the teabag out. I've made this with several different water temperatures & I almost always forget to take the teabag out. Since this tea is almost completely herbal, there's nothing in it that grows bitter if left in too long.<br /><br />I love this tea & recommend that if anyone is interested in it to buy it now. Unfortunately this well-loved tea is also one of the harder to find flavors as it sells out rather quickly & only comes around once a year!<br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br /><br />Apple pieces, cinnamon, orange peel, rose hips, berry leaves, natural apple flavor, ginger root, cloves, natural lemon flavor, citric acid, cardamom seeds (and of course the tea bags are round & unbleached, making it a great fit for most mugs)
