Tastes Like: baked apples, burnt caramel, petrichor
Feels Like: warm September rain

Inspired by the French tarte tatin, this exquisite tea from August captures the essence of an apple tart flambéed with Calvados. With deep flavors of burnt sugar and caramelized apples, it evokes the image of a cozy slice of warm apple tart enjoyed on a rainy autumn day. The nutty profile of Formosa roasted oolong brings forth a delightful aroma reminiscent of petrichor, the enchanting scent that follows a fresh rain. This aromatic foundation allows the baked apple flavor to take center stage, while a subtle tartness from baked apple peel lingers in the finish. Enjoyable both hot and iced, this tea transforms an afternoon break into a luxurious experience. A splash of milk enhances the already rich caramel notes, making each sip even more indulgent. Crafted in collaboration with the renowned Los Angeles restaurant Bestia, the name Avalon pays homage to the mythical Celtic island of apples. Bestia, evoking thoughts of Bestiaries—the medieval compendium of mythical creatures—makes Avalon a fitting tribute.

A perfect choice for luxurious afternoons.
