Review: As with all ETS teas, the smell is quite strong - this time, like artificial apples.  When you first take a sip, it's an unusual flavour you can't quite put your finger on.  You can't taste the liquorice, the cinnamon or the bergamot.  In fact, despite the apple scent, you can't really taste the apples.  The closest we could come to describing it was, strangely, melon.  Once you bring yourself to swallow, the after-taste is bitter (presumably from the black tea).  It also tastes 'off' somehow, like rotting eggs.  That said, it's nowhere near as bad as their Pineapple, Mint & Melon flavour (which, incidentally, didn't taste like melon!).  If you want a really nice apple and cinnamon combination, we recommend other brands such as Heath & Heather.
