Avalon, a legendary island, often regarded as the final resting place of King Arthur and the home of mystical beings such as fairies. The name Avalon reflects the island's associations with magic and healing, particularly through its connection to Arthur’s fate after he was mortally wounded. 

Our Avalon, apple pie spiced rooibos, has returned for another year. It is available hot, iced, in tins, and it's in one of our September Special-TEA drinks, Apple Zinger.

Apple Zinger (iced) - Avalon (apple pie spiced rooibos) with apple cider vinegar, honey, and lemon with sparkling water.
