Telstar has a rich, aromatic flavour that tastes like autumn. It is sweet and tart in a good balance, a bit like a tree ripened Cox's Orange Pippin or Blenheim Orange. It is a "Coxs" shape with bold red and orange stripes. It was breed in New Zealand in 1934, a cross between Gold Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red.
