Hot Cinnamon Spice

I’ve just had Indian take-out (from an amazing restaurant called Masala. If you ever find yourself in Wellington,New Zealand, definitely give it a go) so that may be influencing the spices somewhat, but I’m loving this. I’m not overly big on cinnamon as a single note, but this is lovely. Far sweeter than I thought it would be. I bet it would be amazing with a cider or chai.

I received this as a sample from my last order and decided to try it today.
I think I brew tea in a weird way but it always works for me. I opened the sachet so I could brew this as a loose tea and put it in my tea ball and let it boil in the kettle for about 4 minutes because I tend to enjoy stronger more flavorful teas.
I drank it while it was very hot and noticed how sweet it was and I thought it was just because it was my first sip. I continued to drink the rest of the cup and it tasted just the same.
A warm sweet buttery cinnamon flavor, extremely smooth. I finished my first cup and brewed a second cup with a little less water for about 5:30, didn’t have as much flavor but still great.

I really enjoyed this tea, and I don’t usually like black teas, I’m more of a green tea person but this was exceptional, I may order a 4 oz container in the future!

This tea has been a staple in my cupboard for years. And coming from a kid that used to sneak full tablespoons of cinnamon when my mother wasn’t looking (I won the cinnamon test before there was even a cinnamon test), I love his cinnamon tea. Not that the taste is overwhelmingly only of cinnamon, I also like the citric touch on a base of that classic black tea flavor. Also the cloves make it so naturally sweet, so no sweeter needs to be added. I even use this tea to sweeten other teas, haha.

I love cinnamon. I love spice. I love this tea. This is sweet and spicy and perfect for autumn. In fact I store this away in the summer because it evokes harvest time so strongly for me.

If you read my other reviews it becomes clear I also love sweet things. I don’t sweeten white or green tea and rarely sweeten tisanes but as a rule I sweeten black teas. I’ve sweetened this tea before and it’s like drinking liquid cinnamon toast without the salty butter and good bread taste to counterbalance it. That said, occasionally I want to freebase sugar and this, sweetened with milk, hooks a girl up. The rest of the time I drink it straight and it’s sweet enough on it’s own, even for me!

Amazingly flavorful tea with NO need for additives!

I am doing a lot backlogging today! HAPPY NEW YEAR :) My friends own a coffee shop and have the Harney bagged teas to offer and I’ve also had this in the royal palace sachets. I don’t excitedly reach for cinnamon but I like this tea. I have found that Harney & Sons have some great bagged teas when I hit a coffee shop and would rather go for tea than coffee. MMMMM Red Hots in a cup!

Definitely the most flavorful flavored tea I’ve ever had. The cinnamon completely overwhelms the tea, so it’s not a tea person’s tea. But damn is that cinnamon wonderful! It’s fragrant, spicy and rich. I like having a cup every winter morning at work after my cold walk from the subway.

This is one of my all time favorite teas. Rich, sweet and spicy. I take mine with a splash of vaniella creamer.

I like this tea because it has the awesome sweet flavour of cinnamon (which i’m not too much of a fan of only because it can be over used in products). The cinnamon flavoured is nicely balanced with the black tea based. The only sad thing is that i can’t used the same teabag twice D: I recommend it for any cinnamon lovers out there. :)

Ah sweet red heat.

This is the absolute best cinnamon tea I have ever had; no fake flavorings, naturally sweet from the spices, and completely delicious. A must-own for any spice lover.

Just bought the bagged version of this (on accident), but steeped it in my Zarafina. The first few sips taste like a stick of Big Red gum dissolved in hot water…yuck. It is, however, quite sweet without sweetener (woo!). The tea flavor comes out a little more as it cools, but it’s still very, very faint. I put the teabag back into cup, and it became a bit stronger…but it still tastes like very sweet gum. It’s almost too sweet (never thought I’d say that…I’m a “I like my sugar with coffee and cream” kind of gal). I’m not digging this. Next time maybe I’ll throw in some black tea with it.

[Zarafina – Black x Loose x Strong, no sweetener]

I was reluctant to try this one at first because sometimes cinnamon can be overwhelming, but here the tea is strong and spicy and just a little sweet. It’s the perfect kick in the bum for mornings that start off slow and a great way to wind down a day, too. In my opinion, the hotter the better and average steep time are best.

This is the tea I was drinking yesterday and during my first final this week. Hot Cinnamon Spice is one of my favorite teas, and the tea that is my ‘standby’. I love the cinnamon, however that last sip is always a bit too much of it. In the past two days I have managed to get my roomate addicted to it in a total of three cups…oops?

LOVE this tea. Just ordered two lbs as a birthday present for myself. The sheen of cinnamon oil on the tea is awesome. I’m a big fan of cinnamon altoids and this is like one big cup filled with them! Great fall/winter tea! Ditto on this tea not needing any sugar.

Red Hot’s Cinnamon Candy! The tea smells like the candy. This is a good tea with a lot of cinnamon flavor. Its not spicy hot, but rather spicy sweet. I like sweet tea and this one needs no added sugar. If you’re a fan of cinnamon, this one is for you.
used about 1tsp (the spoon, not the measure) in moderately hot water for 5 minutes. It was slow to brew to a decent color…light brown but, remarkably clear without a lot of fines.

My sister had given me a sample of this! It was so delicious that I steeped it twice! There was a lot of powdered cinnamon, and I didn’t need to add any milk or sugar to it.

Love this tea! Has a sweet and tasty cinnamon flavor. To me, tastes like fall or christmas! ^_ Perfect for a cold day, and also refreshing. Cinnamon is said to be good as an disinflamatory. My mom used to make me a cinnamon tea for stomach pain, or cramps. This tea in particular has an awesome taste!!

I had forgotten how much I liked this one. I LOVE anything cinnamon and I can save money by not adding any honey or sugar to it ;)

I like it. It makes me think of the Atomic Fireballs that I love! Usually I add milk to my spiced teas, but it’s not necessary for this one. It’s probably unnecessary to sweeten it too, but I add a bit of sugar anyway.
