Day 21 - DavidsTea Advent calendar

Day 21 is yet another fruit infusion *sob*. Spiced Apple is the "tea" of the day. From the website:

The apple of our eye

What does comfort mean to you? It might be a favourite sweater, an old family recipe or a perfect cup of tea. For us, it’s all about capturing warm and cozy flavours – like this sweet and spicy blend of apple, figs and chai spices. Laced with cinnamon and star anise, it brings back memories of apple picking, piping hot cider and fresh-from-the-oven pies. Basically, it’s like a hug in a cup. And whether you pair it with a good book or some great company, we guarantee it’s as comforting as it gets.
Best served: Hot Tea

Ingredients

Apple (apple, citric acid), figs, cinnamon, star anise, chicory, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, natural apple and spice flavouring.

Overall Impression:  I really wanted to like this, because it's apple (and I love apple), but I really can't taste anything other than a bit of tart apple and a hint of black pepper. Maybe a splash of rum would help...
