Black tea's fruitier, friendlier cousin.
Apricot up front, apple right behind it, and a smooth black tea underneath holding the whole thing together. This one leans fruity rather than bitter — the kind of cup that still tastes like tea, just with somewhere fancy to go.
The blend mixes real apricot pieces and apple with a natural apricot flavor, plus a few marigold petals for color. Nothing about it needs explaining. It just tastes like an apricot orchard someone quietly steeped a good black tea in.
No fancy equipment required — a basic infuser or strainer and a mug is all this takes. Steep it, pull the leaves, drink it. That's the whole process.
