Award winning, apple + cinnamon rooibos perfection in a cup.
4.6Apfelstrudel- the best thing to have come out of Austria since The Sound of Music. Now, the important question is not who had it first (the Austrians or the Germans), but rather what to have on your strudel. Are you a custard, cream or ice cream kinda chap?

While this isn't something I normally would try, I found I enjoyed how different it is from my normal cup and how strong and 'apple-y' it tasted!

I really enjoyed this. It tasted very custardy, which I love! Lovely smell too. I brewed this with oat milk.

Deliciously warming, reminds me of bonfire toffee without the smokiness

My upmost favourite tea from the Advent Calendar... I could drink it every day! So warming! Its subtle tastes definitely bring a huge smile to your face every time you drink it! Best without milk
I think this is my favourite so far, there's so much apple in it, it's absolutely perfect! Sweet and smells just like apple pie.
I loved this one! Not too cinnamon-y and so perfect for Autumn. I'm trying to have less caffeine so this is such a nice treat to replace black tea in the evening.
This has been a bit disappointing. I usually do like apple teas and dessert flavoured ones a lot. With this one though ... I don't know - maybe it's because I'm German ;) - but this blend was neither appley nor strudelly enough for me. I didn't even get the cinnamon that much.
This tea is so fruity and deliciously spiced its like drinking a pudding and the apple bits look like tiny marshmallows
This has been one of my favourite teas I have tried so far. The apple flavour is refreshing and the hint of cinnamon is both warming and comforting. Would definitely recommend.
My husband is a huge coffee drinker.
One day we popped into your Brighton store and as usual people were lovely and made him try the Apple Strudel tea. He literally fall in love with this blend. His favourite dessert being an appple pie, it was a perfect match!
Even my self who'd rather like black tea, I like having a nice cuppa of this one when I fancy something sweet...without the calories!

Sadly I was a bit disappointed by this blend. I've had similar flavoured teas from other brands before that were stronger tasting than this unfortunately.
This is a perfect mix of light and refreshing (from the apple) but also cosy and comforting (from the cinnamon). I like it with and without milk, depending on my mood. Don't forget to shake it/mix it up before you put the tea in as the apple pieces sit on the top.
WOW! I got a sample of this tea in my last order, and my taste buds were simply blown away! I was expected it to just be a sort of vaguely spiced apple flavour, but it tastes EXACTLY like apple strudel, right down the pastry crust. It's like Autumn warmth in a mug. Come October, I have a strong feeling this is all I'm going to be drinking!
Sweet apple caffiene free tea! I gave my housemate a cup and she loves it! Always asks for more!
I bought this tea, despite having never been a fan of rooibos before, because I was after a 'dessert' tea that was capable of replicating the sweetness that I seem to require after every meal and late at night. In an ideal world, such teas could somehow satisfy my sweet tooth in place of real desserts. Bird & Blend have officially enabled that ideal world to become a reality, because this tea has completely revolutionised the concept of tea on the whole for me. It smells and tastes EXACTLY like apple strudel (it is not one of those disappointing teas that smells amazing and tastes of nothing) and it somehow manages to have an incredible sweet complex flavour profile without the calories. It's genuinely amazing, I got the 20g sample but I will definitely be repurchasing, and the reviews convinced me to get it so I thought I'd add mine to the pile. ...Read more
A lovely tea, the rooibos is delicious and the flavour from the little chunks of dried apple really comes through.
This actually tastes like a very soft, sophisticated and lovely apple&cinnamon blend - once you figure out how much rooibos to put with your apple pieces! The loose leaf pouches make the rooibos sink to the bottom and all the raw apple sits on top so you have to mess around with it a lot to get the perfect scoop. Wish blends like this came in teabags!
This rea has a perfect combination of apple and cinnamon combined with the caffeine-free attraction of rooibos making it a perfect afternoon or evening cuppa. Very refreshing and smells gorgeous when brewing. This tea would suit people who don’t necessarily go for rooibos on its own as it complements the apple flavouring perfectly.
Just buy it!
Absolutely delicious
