My friends are in love with this tea, and I know it’s one of H&S’s best sellers, but I’m always mixed about cinnamon. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it’s… bleh. It sure look pretty though!

I was impressed by the balance of sweetness and spice, but ultimately I just don’t like cinnamon enough to enjoy this tea.

Does it have quite a burn to it?

well, there is cinnamon oil in it. I wouldn’t say it burns necessarily, but it tastes more like “red hots” cinnamon candy than actual ground cinnamon (although that’s in there too).

Just found out that about Harney sachets – “Each sachet brews a 12oz cup of tea” ( I probably only used 8-10 oz)
There’s nothing on the wrapper to indicate this – NO brewing info at all! No suggested temperature or steeping time or amount of water. Presumably you get that info if you buy the whole box, but these were singles/samples from a tea shop.

Sigh…I don’t like this tea. It’s too sweet, and it tastes too much like red hot candy or big red gum to me. I like both of those things, but not in my tea.
