It's back! Lipton Cinnamon Apple is available from a few grocery stores and is listed on Instacart, though curiously, not on Lipton's U.S. website yet. On the site, they provide only a recipe to make it yourself with Lipton Black tea:
2 cups water
2 bags Lipton® Black Tea
1 apple, cored and diced
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
...with these two main steps:
"1) Add water, Lipton® Black Tea bags, diced apple, and cinnamon to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer until apples are soft, around 5 minutes.
2) Remove tea bags from the saucepan, then muddle the apples into the tea. Strain the tea into a heat-safe bowl. {Optional – Use the back of a spoon to mash the apple pieces left in the strainer, draining any remaining liquid into the bowl of tea.}"
I've never seen a tea company do that before. Yet there are new teabags of the herbal (not with black tea) available as well. Weird. I don't know if this is a temporary run, akin to McDonalds' occasional resurrection of the McRib, purely seasonal in 2025 only, yearly seasonal, or the full-time restart of the tea listed in RateTea as "retired." We'll see! But for now, there's at least some new Lipton Cinnamon Apple herbal tea being produced and sold. I tried uploading a photo from Instacart, but it didn't take...maybe because it's listed as "retired"?
Oh, guess I should review this product. I have had a few bags thereof. This tea smells good, and the cinnamon and apple seem well-balanced in the dry aroma. However, it tastes like it's been sitting in inventory since 2010: flat, bland, with mainly apple and not much cinnamon, so little that it's hard to taste at all. Lipton tea isn't very expensive, so the value can't be horrible unless the tea is too. It's not that bad, but not that good either. One easily could do better with any of many other holiday-spice type teas of this ilk, or...just follow Lipton's own recipe, but with somebody else's base tea!

This tea is not bad for an herbal tea. It doesn't have too much cinnamon. It tastes kind of like hot cider, but I added cream and sugar, so it tastes like a creamy hot cider, which is pretty good.
