From August Uncommon Tea, founded in California in 2014 by Gina Zupsich and Aaron Shinn — one of the very few American companies working in super-premium blended flavored tea.
Their blends are made to spec by a German tea house with more than a hundred and fifty years behind it, in combinations of fruit, smoke, spice, perfume and confection you won't meet anywhere else.

Tastes Like: baked apples, burnt caramel, petrichor
Feels Like: warm september rain
Inspired by the French tarte tatin, apple tart flambéed with Calvados, this tea has the deep flavors of burnt sugar, caramelized apples, and a flash of brandy. Imagine a slice of warm apple tart on a rainy autumn day. The nutty flavor of formosa roasted oolong has an aroma like petrichor, the lovely scent after a fresh rain. The aromatic base lets the baked apple flavor shine. In the finish there’s a subtle tartness of baked apple peel. Delicious both hot and iced. A touch of milk creates an even richer caramel flavor. This blend was created in collaboration with the Los Angeles restaurant Bestia. The name Avalon refers to the mythical Celtic island of apples. For us, Bestia conjures Bestiaries, the medieval compendium of mythical creatures, so Avalon seemed a perfect name.
A tea for luxurious afternoons.
