Yes, I just clicked “add to cupboard” on this one. For a while, the number one selling tea for Harney and Sons, Hot Cinnamon Spice black tea, was my nemesis. It was simply too hot and spicy for me, yet everyone who tried it at my house loved it. I have gone through several tins of it loose leaf and a whole box of bags that were given to me for Christmas last year by a friend and I have just purchased another tin of the loose leaf because my future son in law loves it so much that I need to keep it on hand. He is getting the fifty sachet bag for Christmas, too.

Even though I don’t like Red Hots Candies, even though the black version was too strong and spicy for me, I liked the sample of the green version, which seems more syrupy, thicker, and sweeter to me. So when I ordered my tin of loose leaf black I got the green version as well because I need to take in more cinnamon and drink something hot for this perpetually sore throat of mine. Darned allergies.

The nice thing is that I can make eight ounces in my tiny pot with just one teaspoon of tea and resteep right away for sixteen ounces, and it gives me a fantastic level of flavor, plus I can still taste the green tea, which is pretty impressive with cinnamon this strong.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
