Aniseed
Aniseed is the small, ridged seed of the anise plant, a member of the parsley family native to the eastern Mediterranean. It has a sweet, warm, unmistakably licorice-like aroma with a lingering, slightly spicy finish. In tea it brings depth to spiced black tea and chai, and blends well with fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and licorice root in herbal mixes. A little goes a long way, so aniseed is usually added in small amounts to keep the cup balanced.
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.
Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, rolled into the familiar curled quills. In the cup it gives a sweet, woody warmth with a gentle bite and a rich, bakery-like aroma. It is a natural partner for black tea, rooibos and fruit blends, especially alongside ginger, cardamom, clove and apple. Try a cinnamon blend with a splash of milk on a cold morning, or brew it strong and pour it over ice.
Elderberries are the small, dark purple berries of the elder shrub, which grows wild in hedgerows across Europe and North America. Dried elderberries bring a deep, dark-fruit flavor with hints of blackberry and plum, a pleasant tartness and a rich purple color in the cup. They are a natural fit for fruit blends, herbal blends, rooibos and black tea, pairing well with hibiscus, blackcurrant, rosehip, apple and cinnamon. Elderberry blends are delicious hot in winter and refreshing over ice.
Hibiscus tea is made from the deep red calyces of the roselle flower, a tropical plant grown in West Africa, Egypt, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It brews a bold, tart, cranberry-like cup with a fruity tang and a stunning ruby-red color. Hibiscus is the backbone of many fruit and herbal blends, pairing beautifully with rosehip, orange, berries, ginger and cinnamon, and it adds zing to rooibos and black tea. In Mexico, chilled hibiscus tea known as agua de jamaica is a summer favorite.
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.

The tea overall is alright, a bit weak for my tastes. The prominent flavor is some cinnamon and a hint of apple. The tea brews nearly clear since it is an herbal blend.

I'm a huge fan of apple but this tea is too much intense for me. I was sure that it'll taste more Spicy but no, it tastes cider

Everyone has different tastes, but for me the hibiscus comes through so strong that it just tastes like a spiced hibiscus tea to me. I like hibiscus tea, but not when its called apple cider. I wouldnt think this is an apple tea or an apple spice tea in any way if i didnt know.
Ive liked everything ive gotten from Tealyra except this one. Cheap grocery store apple spice tea bags are much better. I was hoping to replace that with a natural loose tea. This ain't it.

This tea would be perfect if not for the whole star anise pieces. There are just too many of them, and they are too big. Instead of apple cider, the brew ends up tasting like black licorice.
