Idun

Idun, also spelled Idunn, or Iduna, in Norse mythology, the goddess of spring or rejuvenation and the wife of Bragi, the god of poetry. She is a goddess known for her beauty and long, golden hair. Idun is often associated with apples, youth, and fertility because she is the keeper of the magic apples of immortality which the gods must eat to preserve their youth. The Prose Edda tells the story of Idun's kidnapping at the hands of Loki and Thiazi in a scheme to steal her magic apples. This darjeeling black tea blend was chosen for Idun because it has a bright, golden profile that tastes of honeyed apples and spring flowers.
