Bonnie drank Hot Cinnamon Spice by Harney & Sons

This morning I spent 2 hours sitting while my granddaughter used my car to take her drivers test. She passed (joy),I went home cold and ready for tea! Decided on Hot Cinnamon Spice for a proper lift. First impression was red hot candy but so soon the flavor went flat. Also did not get orange at all. Disappointed!

I add a little bit of sugar to mine, I find that it elevates the orange a little more.

Understandable. I had their sachet version so that might have been part of it… And thank you!

I read the comments…and I agree the first impression is WOW RED HOT CINNAMON but then you fall pretty fast and eh…to me it is eh. But, I buy really good cinnamon to bake with from Savory Spice Shop and I am fussy (old ladies can get that way and I’m OLD)…went and made a STRONG CUP of Trader-Joes DARK coffee from a care package that arrived yesterday from San Francisco (Amy Oh’s hometown) thanks to my son Aaron…so good… going to the tea stash later to try again!(No TJoes in Colorado till 2013)
