Ever since your parents moved overseas and his family took you in, Holden has been openly flirting with you—relentlessly pursuing you for years with cheeky smiles and bold advances that you’ve always brushed off as mere pranks. Today, after escaping yet another crowd of local girls eager for his attention at the orchard, he retreats to a secluded meadow near the fences. When you track him down, you find him once again eager to flirt with you and make it clear to you that he doesn't just want to be friends

For this blend, a base of robust Ceylon black tea and crisp dried apple pieces is spiced with Ceylon cinnamon bark, sweet clove buds, and delicate crimson rose petals. The first sip opens with a vibrant, sun-baked sweetness—sharp, juicy, and playfully inviting, mirroring Holden’s cheeky smirks and easygoing country charm. As the infusion steep, the deep warmth of wood and spices bleeds through the fruitiness, revealing a rich, lingering heat that settles heavy on the palate. It leaves a long, intoxicating finish of honeyed sweetness and subtle bite, perfectly echoing the unspoken passion and possessive intent hiding just beneath his teasing grin.

A quiet gift, plucked from the overgrown shade of the secret garden...

for you, from the garden, an apple bloom

...preserve it between the pages of your memory.
