The Tea That Feels Like a Walk Through an Apple Orchard This isn’t apple cider—it’s better. The tea you pull out when someone asks for cider and you want to impress them with something cozier, more complex, and just plain delicious. Rooibos sets the stage with its naturally sweet, earthy base (and no caffeine, so it’s an all-day, all-night kind of tea). Real dried apple pieces bring the crisp, juicy flavor of actual apples—none of that fake candy nonsense. And cinnamon? Oh, it’s there, warming things up like a crackling fire on a chilly day. To top it all off, calendula petals float in your cup like a sprinkle of marigold magic. What Makes Our Cider & Spice Tea Special? Real apple pieces, not flavoring: The apple flavor comes from actual dried apple fruit pieces in the blend — no artificial flavoring, no added sugar. The natural sweetness from the apple and rooibos means most people don't need to add anything to the cup. Rooibos base for a smooth, non-bitter brew: Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and doesn't turn bitter the way black or green tea can if you steep it a minute too long. It gives the blend a mellow foundation that lets the apple and cinnamon come through clearly. Caffeine-free, anytime: No caffeine means morning, afternoon, or evening — and it's shareable with anyone who avoids caffeine. Brew it at 9pm. Give it to the kids. No adjustments needed.

Hot or iced, both work: Brew it warm on a cold morning or steep it double-strength and pour it over ice in July. The apple and cinnamon hold up either way. 20 servings per jar: Each 3.6 oz jar brews approximately 20 cups at the standard 1 teaspoon per 8 oz ratio. Mix & match 3 or more tea jars and save 15%.
