Dealing with migraine today and craving cinnamon, which apparently is an anti-inflammatory that can help reduce the severity of migraine attacks. This is my second cinnamon tea of the day – I’ve also been drinking apple cinnamon water, yum – and this one is by far my favorite of the two. It had been a while since having teaktruthi’s cinnamon chai and I had forgotten how light in flavor it was. This one has more of the punch of cinnamon I was craving. Also, yay for decaf teas!

Flavors: Cinnamon

Isn’t the medicinal value of the simplest things—cinnamon, peppermint, ginger—just amazing? I’d never really pondered it, but now that you mention it, I do crave cinnamon when I have a cold or sinus headache.

That suuuucks. Hope you feel better soon!

Cinnamon is also one of my go-tos for comfort when I’m sick. Hope you’re feeling better!

I’m feeling much better today – thank you, everyone! It really is pretty cool that our bodies so often gravitate toward things that it knows will help us feel better.

Profile

Bio

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Favorites
Any and all black teas, smoky teas, raspberry, strawberry, red fruits, bergamot, chai spices, floral teas, caramel/toffee, jasmine, rose, vanilla, peaches, plums, valerian root, cinnamon, cardamom

Not a huge fan
White teas, green teas, artificial sweeteners, sarsaparilla, licorice, lemongrass, lavender, hot hibiscus, hibiscus in black tea blends

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
