Remember the sticky delight of candy apples savored on visits to summer carnivals? Thank William W. Kolb. In 1908, the Newark, New Jersey candy maker was looking for a way to brighten up Christmas sales. As an experiment, he dipped red apples into a syrupy cinnamon candy mixture, placed them his shop window to dry, and the apples sold themselves -- at the mighty price of 5 cents each. His seasonal business was a hit, sales took over the Jersey Shore, then in candy stores throughout the country, and in traveling carnivals and circuses where they remain bestsellers today.
A summary of reviews: The candy apple tea elicits mixed reactions among tea enthusiasts, with its aroma predominantly characterized by caramel and occasionally accompanied by apple nuances upon opening the packet. The flavor profile varies; some individuals report a delightful blend of caramel and green apple notes, especially when enhanced with sugar and cream, invoking the essence of a caramel-dipped Granny Smith apple. Conversely, others find the tea too sweet or lacking in apple flavor, noting instead a stronger presence of black tea or cinnamon. Adjustments in brewing temperature and additions like honey or cream appear to significantly influence the enjoyment of this autumnal tea, making it a diverse experience. The tea's balance between sweetness and fruitiness, with a hint of caramel, nudges it towards a comforting, though sometimes inconsistent, seasonal delight.
