Caffeine-free.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem isn't that you don't fancy apple pie.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is nine o'clock in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou've eaten. You're on the sofa. You want something more — something warm, something sweet, something that feels like closing the day. And you have two options: a slice of pie from the freezer, or another glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppeltaart (Dutch for 'apple pie') is there for exactly that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNo caffeine. Not even at eleven at night.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is rooibos, not black tea. Rooibos comes from a shrub in South Africa and naturally contains no caffeine. So you can brew a cup of this late in the evening too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou can't ruin it.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and green tea turn bitter if you leave them too long. Rooibos doesn't. Forgotten during a phone call? Still lovely. No timer, no thermometer, no fuss. Boiling water on it, five to eight minutes, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in it is on the pack. All of it.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePieces of real apple and whole apple quarters. Ceylon cinnamon and cinnamon sticks. Roasted buckwheat — that's what gives the blend the baked, crusty character a regular fruit tea lacks. Cacao nibs and coconut make the finish full and creamy. A loose blend, not a bag of dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne cup costs you less than 30 cents.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slice of apple pie at the bakery costs you four euros. A cappuccino with something on the side on a terrace quickly hits eight fifty. From a 100 gram bag you get about fifty cups. This sits in your cupboard and is ready in five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou like something warm in the evening but caffeine keeps you awake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want something sweet without it becoming a dessert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're done with tea bags that taste of paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have guests and want to serve something they'll ask about\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWho this is not for:\u003c\/em\u003e if you want something spicy and sharp — this is too soft. Look at Zonnewortel instead, with ginger and lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to brew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne level teaspoon per cup (about 2 grams).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiling water.

Done.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e a splash of oat drink turns it into an apple-pie latte. Brewed cold in the fridge (overnight, in a jug) it becomes an iced tea with a fresh apple note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don't like it, you get your money back. You don't have to send anything back and you don't have to give a reason. Send an email and it's sorted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI know what that cupboard looks like with three half-used tea tins you tried once. I don't want to be one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Michael, Zachtethee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it taste?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCinnamon first, then apple, and underneath something roasted from the buckwheat. Sweet in taste, without having to stir anything in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I drink it in the evening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's what it's made for.
