Cider is here to stay. Americans across the country are swapping out their wine glasses and beer steins for hard cider glasses. According to Nielsen, hard cider sales increased by more than 600 percent from 2011 to 2014. 

With these fermented fruit libations on the rise, Teavana launched a new tea Cider Collection this season —a trio of epicurean teas that bring the on-trend flavors of cider to tea. The Cider Collections includes two new herbal blends, Poached Pear Cider and Mulled Pomegranate Cider, and a returning rooibos blend favorite, Spiced Apple Cider.
