Apple Herbal Tea, Caffeine-Free Loose Leaf Rooibos with Bergamot | The Orchard

Actually, the Bergamot peeks through the apple flavor with a surprising morning tea note. I am not an herbal tea drinker most of the time, but this will be my go-to tea for a while!!! Delightfully subtle with a bold personality. A new fav for sure!!!

I am usually not a floral tea lover and at first the scent of the tea in the bag contained a lot of rose notes. Once I brewed a cup and tasted, the fruits came to life. I am a fan of this and wish it would be available as a black tea.

This tea is so yummy on a warm summer night when it's iced. The tea is naturally sweet with the apple taste that doesn't dilute as the ice melts.

Usually select spicy black or fruity green teas. The Orchard herbal tea was an absolute surprise - aroma reminded me of a blooming hillside and the color was very similar to apple cider. And the taste was delightful...sweeter than expected with lingering fruit flavors. Enjoyed as a caffeine free ice tea early evening after a hot summer day - perfect.

To be absolutely fair, rooibos is not usually a favorite, but I had never tried green rooibos and I love bergamot so I wanted to try it. The apple flavoring overpowered the bergamot for me, especially when I tried it hot--it tasted a bit artificial and overly sweet. It was nice and refreshing when iced, however! I could certainly enjoy the balance of flavors more in that preparation.

I love green rooibos. Like Red, it has a smoky flavor, albeit very faint. But where red is dry, green is juicy. Which makes the green perfectly complimentary when mixed with a bushel of apples, a half-bushel of pears, a handful of cherries, and one peach. This is fantastic, as is or with a drop of honey, as a Summer tea. But if you're looking for Autumnal brilliance, mull it. Yum.

Wasn’t sure what this was going to taste like. I was worried the Bergomot would taste like a candle. But it didn’t! Actually quite pleasant. A bit floral. I would recommend giving it a try!

This tea was surprising in its full fruity aroma as well as the perfectly balanced green apple and slightly sweet flavors. I go a little heavy-handed with the amount of tea to brew so I can really enjoy the beautiful fruitiness of this one.

This tea has a sweet intoxicating apple scent. The flavor is of pink lady apples with a slight pear finish. It's naturally sweet, refreshing, delicate and a lovely light yet layered tea. Iced it's even better; the bergamot pops through just enough to add depth and intrigue. This is a summer tea you'll want to savor on the veranda (even if you don't have one) on a hot day and enjoy the moment of summer in its perfection. I've tried several other bergamot herbals but none that pair bergamot with the apple, creating a pear undertone that is such a delight to the palette. Your teas have always been "uncommon," complex and appreciated more over time; and this one is no different. It's harder to pull it off when the tea is as subtle as this one, but this tea is a knockout. This is understated elegance that you'll keep returning to with renewed appreciation. Bravo!

I am not a fan of floral teas either strong fruit flavors. The Orchard is perfectly balanced, the fruit doesn’t overpower. The blend of rooibos and honeybush is a great base. Bergamot adds the final touch.
Haven’t tried it hot, it’s amazing iced!
Thank you for upping the game on the options for caffeine free teas!!

I like this tea. It’s got a nice cozy apple taste and smell that will be lovely in the fall. I also love that it’s herbal so I can drink it at night. My qualm is that I really didn’t get any bergamot flavor or scent. I was really excited to try a funky new apple riff on an Earl Grey, but this didn’t do that for me. Love the apple, love the decaf, wish I got more bergamot.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

The apple fragrance of this tea both from the bag and brewed is really lovely.
I brewed it got and also made an iced version. The taste was very mild.
My daughter really liked it though!

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I don’t love earl grey teas but was interested in trying this version as I love others that aren’t too bergamot. I think this tea is perfect for those who like bergamot flavors but it was too intense for me. I couldn’t taste anything else.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

This tea is delightfully light & delicate without sacrificing any flavor. It's fun to have an apple tea that isn't "in your face" with the apple or automatically paired with cinnamon. This was amazing hot & I can't wait to try it iced with a touch of honey. Glad that I can add this to my evening caffeine-free rotation!

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

This has a nice, pleasing smell when freshly opened. After brewing, the smell lingers and the taste comes with a burst of sweet apple, that mellows out slowly.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I smelled the aroma of apples as soon as I opened the bag of this herbal tea. Served hot, I can taste the apple flavor. There is a subtle sweetness to this tea, but it isn't like drinking apple juice. Served iced, the flavor profile changed for me. I tasted less of the apple. I couldn't put my finger on what the flavor is, so perhaps it is the bergamot I was tasting. But it is a delightfully refreshing iced tea. I love that it is herbal, so I can have a glass as late in the day as I want to. A great summer choice!

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

This was super tasty! When steeped hot, it was a delightful cup of warm apple cider without all the extra sugar (even if I did sweeten it with some agave). Iced the apple flavor was less intense and more floral.

This tea takes me back to visiting Apple orchards in Virginia in the fall so powerfully that I can feel the leaves crunching under my feet. The bergamot is a really nice addition, as are the other spices. It’s sweet and warm.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

Finally, an apple tea with no cinnamon, and that's perfect for year-round drinking! Tastes a bit like an apple Jolly Rancher with some citrus notes, making it perfect for kids and those with a sweet tooth.

Loved the update take on an Earl grey. Summer refreshment that will liven up an old friend. Definitely recommend. Surprisingly subtle and pleasant.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

To be perfectly honest, I don't care for Earl Grey tea. But I do love a good Turkish apple tea as well as some other apple teas. So when I read that this one had a mild Earl Grey flavor and apples, I decided to give it a go. The first sip was all bergamot for me, but that may just be because it's not my favorite flavor, so it sticks out. I missed the apple until at least my third or fourth cup. As you can tell, since I kept drinking it, it grew on me. It will never be my favorite flavor, but I do enjoy the apple subtleties and can tolerate the bergamot.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

This tea smells lovely right out of the pack. I enjoyed watching it brew. The color is like looking at the sun. I added just a bit of half & half for extra creaminess. Definitely taste the apple & pear. Definitely putting it in rotation

A lovely new apple tea. A luscious new bergamot tea.
Nice hot or iced/

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I strongly associate bergamot with Earl Gray. For some reason that flavor doesn't come through in this tea for me. But that isn't a bad thing! This tea has a smooth, bright, fruity flavor which I enjoy. I usually drink only black teas, but might have to make an exception for this one!

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I bought this for the bergamot, not the apple, but wow — the balance was perfect and the flavor more complex than I would have guessed from an "apple tea." I wasn't expecting to fall this hard for a rooibos blend, but the green rooibos and honeybush here have real depth — there's a roundness that goes way beyond your typical fruity tea. I have tried this both hot and iced, and expect it will join the regular rotation for afternoon iced tea, fully replacing black tea in that slot — two full infusions and the flavor barely faded on the second steep, which is genuinely impressive.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

This is a wonderful sweet apple tea, it does not taste like bergamot to me. I love apple so it works for me as a refreshing apple tea.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I am not usually an herbal tea drinker but for this, I will definitely make an exception. Opening the bag, you are hit with the scent of freshly picked apples and after brewing, the smell of apples permeate the room. The Bergamot adds complexity to this herbal tea as it is refreshing. I tried it hot and am looking forward to making this an iced tea.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

I am not generally an herbal tea drinker because they tend to be less robust than I like. I did try this one, hoping I would love it since it was made with two of my favorite things — apples and bergamot. It did disappoint, since I only tasted a slight apple flavor and no bergamot that I could detect. I might love this if it weren't an herbal tea and was made with regular black tea.

(Review of this tea from another retailer's customer.)

Comes across fruity and comforting as a hot tea, looking forward to trying it iced.
