Decaf Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons

My Harney order was on my porch when I arrived home! Hurrah! Boy that was fast – I just ordered on Tuesday! This was one of the samples I ordered.

It’s not half bad, but maybe because this is the kind of tea you don’t add milk and sugar to, the flat decaf tea part is much more prevalent than in Vanilla Comoro. There is a heavy dry cardboardy taste to it. It’s definitely not crazy delicious like regular Hot Cinnamon Spice (which I got a tin of in this order!)! In short, I am so very glad that this is just a sample with perhaps another pot’s worth of leaves. I will stick to having fully leaded Hot Cinnamon Spice in the afternoons when I need a sweet, spicy treat.

Sad to hear the decaf didn’t live up to the caffeinated version’s greatness!

That is crazy fast shipping! Glad to know in case anyone asks about this one. Several friends drink the regular but none of us have tried the decaf.

Thanks for this – I’ve been wondering whether to try the decaf black or herbal version of cinnamon spice for evenings.

teabird – I plan to put sample of the herbal Hot Cinnamon Spice in my order for next time. I bet it’s better b/c all my dislike on this one stemmed from the decaf tea base!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
