Numi’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "The aroma of something burning is hard to get over; I feel like I'm about to have a sip of charcoal tea."

I love green apples and I love green tea, I'm just a little skeptical of how the two will mix. The blackish-brown leaves, both long and scrunched up smell a bit more like apple than tea, which is fine to me since green tea seems easily overpowered by nearly everything else. The scent of the steeped leaves, which are a mix of stems, broken leaves, and some larger leaves, is a little burnt; my wariness is increasing. The aroma of something burning is hard to get over; I feel like I'm about to have a sip of charcoal tea. After a few sips, I'm right; this is charcoal tea. Perhaps I got a bad batch. I drink half a cup and stop; I feel like I'm licking my BBQ grill. Something isn't right. I'm still hoping I got a bad batch or that I've done something wrong. I'm positive the mix of green apple and green tea could be done really well but it hasn't happened here.

That’s because it was mislabeled probably. I looked at the website link, and it came up as a green apple-flavored BLACK tea. So, what probably constituted a “charcoal taste” might’ve been your expectation of a lighter unoxidized tea.
Still, an apple green tea might work.
