ARIEL Grandma's Pie

Grandma's Pie tastes the way a kitchen smells when there's an apple pie in the oven. A caffeine-free fruit blend of dried apple, cinnamon and orange peel, it's warm, sweet and gently spiced, with rosehip and hibiscus giving the cup its rosy red colour. It's dessert without the dish, and it's just as good hot as it is poured over ice.

Tasting Notes

Baked apple leads, sweet and mellow, with cinnamon curling around it like the spice in a pie filling. Orange peel adds a bright citrus edge, while rosehip and hibiscus bring a soft tartness that keeps the sweetness in check and turns the cup a pretty red. The finish is warm and comforting, with the spice lingering pleasantly.

Hot or Iced

Caffeine-free, it suits any hour, and its cozy apple-and-cinnamon character makes it a natural after-dinner cup or an autumn afternoon companion. Brew it hot when you want comfort, or steep it strong and pour it over ice for a spiced apple iced tea that tastes like cider without the work.

Brewing

Heat fresh water to 90 °C and steep for 3½ minutes or longer, using one pyramid bag (2.5 g) per cup. Fruit blends are forgiving, so a longer steep only deepens the flavour without turning it bitter.
