Smoky Poblano Corn Soup: Cozy Comfort with a Smoky Kick 🌽🔥🍋

Chai With a Plot Twist. Classic chai is great. Apple Chai is chai that decided to be more interesting. Same warm backbone — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves — but apple pieces and a hint of orange show up and make everything a little brighter, a little fruitier, a little harder to put down. It's the kind of tea that smells like something baking and tastes like you planned it that way. High caffeine. Big flavor. One ounce of loose leaf that punches well above its weight. Flavor Notes Warm cinnamon and clove up front. Ginger and cardamom through the middle. Juicy apple and a quiet citrus note from the orange on the finish. Bold black tea underneath all of it. Spiced without being one-note. Fruity without being sweet. The Leaf Each 1 oz bag contains: black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, orange, apple pieces, natural apple flavor, and natural cinnamon flavor. High caffeine — this is a black tea base with real presence. Morning tea, not a wind-down tea. Treat it like your coffee replacement on the days you want something different. Steeping Cheat Sheet Hot (Recommended): 1 tsp per 8 oz. Water at a full boil — 212°F. Steep exactly 5 minutes. This one has cloves and cinnamon, so don't over-steep unless you want your mug to fight back. Measurements: 1 oz of loose leaf makes roughly 10–15 cups depending on how strong you like it. A kitchen scale or a standard teaspoon works fine. No fancy gear required. A mug strainer, a loose leaf infuser, or a fine mesh strainer. That's all. If you have a teapot, great. If you don't, same result. Hot vs. Iced Hot: Where this tea lives. The spices bloom fully in hot water and the apple rounds everything out into something genuinely cozy. Iced: Steep double-strength — 2 tsp per 8 oz, full 5 minutes — let it cool slightly, pour over ice. The apple and orange notes come forward when it's chilled. Solid iced chai without the work. The move: Steep hot, pour over ice with a splash of oat milk or apple cider. Spiced apple iced chai. It sounds like a lot and tastes like exactly that. FAQ How strong is the caffeine?High — this is a full black tea base. If you're sensitive to caffeine, treat this like a strong cup of coffee and plan accordingly. Should I add sweetener?The apple flavor adds natural sweetness, so taste it first before you reach for anything. A little honey or simple syrup goes a long way if you want it sweeter. Can I make a chai latte with this?Yes. Steep double-strength, top with steamed milk of your choice. Oat milk is great. Whole milk is classic. Coconut milk leans tropical. All of them work. How long does loose leaf stay fresh?Up to 12 months in a sealed container away from light and heat. An airtight tin or jar works great. How many cups does 1 oz make?Roughly 10–15 cups at 1 tsp per 8 oz. water. More if you steep lighter, fewer if you go heavy. Is this a limited release?New to the lineup — available now while it lasts.

As American as — well, you know. Warm cinnamon, golden apple, buttery crust. Apple Pie Coffee is a medium roast flavored coffee built around the dessert that has showed up at every July 4th gathering, every fall table, every occasion that called for something that felt like home — for as long as anyone can remember. Not because anyone decided it was the official dessert of anything. Just because it's always been right. The cinnamon is warm without being sharp. The apple is sweet and golden, not tart. The crust finish ties it together the way the real thing always does — that last bite that makes the whole slice worth it. This one is part of our July Picks — roasted in small batches, gone when they're gone. When the pie is done, it's done. No dramatic countdown, just an honest heads-up.

How to Brew Apple Pie Coffee brews well across all standard methods. The medium roast is forgiving and the flavor profile deepens slightly with longer brew contact — worth keeping in mind if you want more of the crust finish to come through. Auto drip: Standard setting, medium grind. The cinnamon comes through clearly on the first sip, the apple and crust settle in as the cup opens up. A straightforward weekday cup that earns its place on the counter. French press: Coarse grind, 4-minute steep. The added body brings out the buttery crust note significantly. If the full pie experience is what you're after, this is the brew method for it. Pour over: Medium grind, slow pour. Clean and bright — the apple leads, cinnamon follows close behind. Good if you want the fruit note front and center. Cold brew: Coarse grind, 12–18 hours in cold water, 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio. Served over ice, the cinnamon and apple read as warm spice against the cold — unexpectedly good for a summer morning on the porch. Single-serve pods: Compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines. No measuring, no fuss. Same coffee, grab-and-go format. FAQ Frequently asked questions about Apple Pie Flavored Coffee Does this actually taste like apple pie? It does — and all three components show up. The cinnamon is warm and present without being the only thing you taste. The apple is golden and sweet, not sharp or tart. And the crust finish is real — it's that slightly buttery, baked note at the end that makes the whole cup taste like the actual dessert rather than just apple-flavored coffee. The French press brings it out most clearly if that's the experience you want. Is this coffee easy on the stomach? It tends to be, and there are a few reasons for that. We air-roast all of our coffee — unlike drum roasting, air roasting circulates heat evenly around the bean rather than scorching it against a hot surface, which generally produces a smoother, gentler cup. We also use a Brazilian bean base, and Brazilian beans are naturally lower in acidity thanks to the growing altitude and processing methods used there. Add a medium roast to the mix — longer roast time means less of the compounds that can irritate a sensitive stomach — and you've got a cup that tends to sit a lot easier than most. No guarantees, because everyone's different, but if coffee and your stomach have had a complicated relationship, this is a reasonable place to start. Is this coffee keto-friendly? Yes — black coffee has zero sugar, zero sweeteners, and no added carbohydrates. The flavoring in this coffee adds no sugar either. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec, not a lifestyle claim. Do you offer a decaf version? Yes — Apple Pie Coffee is available in decaf. Same flavor, same air-roasted process, without the caffeine. Our decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, which skips the harsh chemical solvents. Wind-down approved. Does it taste sweet without adding sugar? Yes — the flavoring gives it a warm apple and cinnamon character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. The crust finish adds a richness that makes the cup feel more substantial than the sugar content would suggest. Black out of the pot is genuinely good. Is this actually a limited release? Yes. This is a July Picks coffee made in small batches. When the pie is gone, it's gone. No dramatic countdown, just an honest heads-up. What other coffees pair well with this one? If you're into flavored coffees that lean warm and spiced, our other dessert-inspired roasts are worth a look. Our snack line is also a natural companion if you want something to go with your cup.

Close enough to justify the name. The custom flavoring — applied to the coffee after roasting — delivers ripe banana and vanilla custard character with a soft, rounded finish. It's more "banana cream" than "pie crust," but it reads as dessert. Brew it black over ice and see what you think before adding anything. Is there any actual sugar or sweetener in the pods? No. The pods contain coffee and custom flavoring — no sugar, no sweeteners, no added carbohydrates. The flavor reads as sweet because of how the banana and vanilla notes register, not because anything sweet was added. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec. Is this coffee easy on the stomach?
