Apple
Apples have been grown across Europe and Central Asia for thousands of years, and dried apple pieces are the backbone of countless fruit tea blends. They brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with a gentle orchard aroma and give the infusion a fuller body. Apple pairs with almost anything: cinnamon, ginger, berries, citrus, hibiscus, rooibos and black tea. Because the pieces hold their flavor well, apple blends are lovely both piping hot in winter and poured over ice in summer.
Lavender is a fragrant Mediterranean herb whose purple flower buds have long scented gardens and kitchens across Provence and southern Europe. In the cup it offers a sweet, floral aroma with gentle herbal notes of rosemary and mint, plus a slightly woody finish. It pairs beautifully with Earl Grey, black tea, chamomile, lemon, rooibos and other herbal blends. A little goes a long way, so blend it sparingly, and try a lavender cup with a splash of milk and honey for a cozy evening ritual.
Mallow flowers come from the common mallow plant, a hardy wildflower found across Europe, North Africa and Asia. The dried blossoms have a very mild, slightly sweet and grassy taste, so they are prized mostly for their beauty and soft texture. They add striking blue and purple color to herbal, fruit and green tea blends, mixing well with rose, lavender and hibiscus. Fun fact: mallow infusion can shift from blue to pink when you add a squeeze of lemon.
Marigold petals, also known as calendula, come from a bright orange and golden flower that has grown in Mediterranean gardens for centuries. The dried petals have a light, mildly sweet and slightly peppery taste with a gentle floral aroma. They are used mostly to add cheerful color to herbal, fruit, green and black tea blends, pairing nicely with chamomile, rose, citrus and berries. In the past, calendula petals were even called poor man's saffron because cooks used them to color rice and butter.
Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and watermint, native to Europe and the Middle East and now grown widely in places like Oregon and Washington. Its leaves brew a bold, cooling cup with a crisp, sweet, intensely minty aroma and a clean, lingering finish. Peppermint is wonderful on its own and pairs well with green tea, black tea, rooibos, chocolate, licorice and lemongrass. It is naturally caffeine-free as an herb, and it is equally refreshing hot after dinner or iced in summer.
Rose petals come from fragrant garden roses, a flower prized for centuries in Persia, Bulgaria, Turkey and China. They add a sweet, romantic floral aroma with a soft, slightly fruity finish and pretty pink color in the cup. Rose is a classic partner for black tea, green tea and white tea, and it blends beautifully with vanilla, cardamom, berries and lavender in herbal mixes. A pinch of rose in Earl Grey or a creamy chai creates an elegant, perfumed cup.
Rosehips are the small, round fruit that form on wild rose bushes after the flowers fade, traditionally gathered across Europe and Chile. They brew a mild, fruity, gently tangy cup with notes of apple and cranberry and a warm orange-red color. Rosehips are a favorite base for fruit and herbal blends, pairing well with hibiscus, orange peel, apple and berries, and they also work with rooibos. Their tartness makes them excellent for iced tea, lightly sweetened with honey.

This is a superb blend. I steeped 2tsp in 300ml for approximately 10 minutes. The apple was the dominant flavour, with all others providing nice hints. A slightly bitter taste made for a really enjoyable experience. This would blend nicely with a green or white tea and extra peppermint and chamomile to suit a particular taste.

I love this tea! I brew it half and half with loose leaf green tea and the mint/lavender flavor is a perfect complement. This is my go-to every day tea.

One of my favorite go-to teas when I want a relaxing herbal blend. I have it everyday. So tasty, I like teas that are on the lavender /rose side of herbs. I noticed that the same person that didn't like this one also didn't like "French Countryside", another one of my favorites, so I think it's a taste preference.

I bought this tea as my winter herbal blend for when I feel under the weather or need to fight cold & flu symptoms. It is a divine blend with a dominant minty-evergreen flavor. It is very soothing for the throat and it seems to clean the lungs as well. Also a good blend to ease women’s cramping. Overall, I find this herbal blend surprisingly relaxing.

For some reason, the french teas just didn't do it for me. They were too bitter and strange tasting, even with sweetener added.
