I love this Tea! A bracing, warm and spicy flavor with a smooth mouth feel. I love the strong cinnamon flavor in every brew that lasts steep after steep. Hints of clove and nutmeg with faint bursts orange zest in each sip. Good for a cold rainy afternoon or a day when I need an extra boost of comfort, or really anytime. The cinnamon flavor is very intense and can be overwhelming, if you are looking for a milder flavored tea-this isn’t for you. It reminds me of fireball candies without the artificial flavoring. Delicious!

Another tea from my Secret Santa. She said this one is her favorite.

It’s a very solid cinnamon tea. Not overly complex, but good and warming on a cold foggy day like today.

My go to tea in the mornings. It is pretty sweet, so I’d skip out on any sugar if you normally add it. Tastes like pure cinnamon with a little bit of spice to it. It’s incredible and I’d go as far as saying it’s my favourite fall/winter tea.

Very cinnamony and spicy tea. It makes me think of Christmas and is one of those teas that I only drink in the winter. I know there are orange peels in the tea but I don’t taste any orange flavour.

Favorite tea by far. I normally buy tea in the smallest size I can because I like to hop from one to the next, but I plan on buying a pound of this one the next time I’m in the store. The sweet cinnamon flavor (artificial, I know but don’t care) makes this tea a treat all on its own. I even like to make my own tea blends with this tea to get that sweet taste with other flavors. So far I have mixed it with chai and Holiday tea, both came out awesome. The black tea base is smooth and flavorful without being bitter, and mixed with the sweet cinnamon, clove, and orange flavors comes out perfect every time.

This is my “go to” afternoon tea. It is impossible to make wrong. No matter what I do to it, it still comes out tasting good.

Extremely sweet – almost too sweet for my taste, but, still good. Expected a spiced apple cider taste, but it is closer to a Red Hots candy taste.

Got a sample sachet of this and I couldn’t remember if Hot Cinnamon Spice is the mildly cinnamon tea that H&S makes, or the cinnamon cabinet in a cup that H&S makes.

Gentle Reader, I am sorry to report that it is the latter and I am going to have to dump this cup, because it is SO ridiculous. I will eat snickerdoodles all day, I LIKE cinnamon, but I cannot take this.

Also, I resent that the tea comes sweetened with something? I don’t know what it is, but I can add my own sugar if I want it, thanks. The cinnamon in this would actually be much more bearable if it wasn’t so sweet.

I am not a fan of black tea, or tea that is not organic, at all, but the tea here was awesome. Cinnamon is definitely a key player here, but it’s annoyingly spicy. The citrus is muted, very muted, but I noticed it more on the second steep. I don’t really taste the black tea, but that was okay because this was just a nice to tea have on a day of overcast. Someone compared it to leftover cinnamon toast milk, another compared it to liquid red hots, but to me its somewhere in the middle. I would drink this again.
