Cinnamon Roll

This is much better than Della Terra’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I was beginning to think that pastry-inspired tea was just not for me. I didn’t love this, but it did give me hope that these kind of teas might be ok.

The best thing about this tea is that you could still taste the base under the cinnamon. It was rich and dark. It was also really smooth. There was a note that tasted like raisins, but turned a little more to chocolate as it cooled. The cinnamon was nice, not fake tasting. There was something artificial that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was kind of like that dreaded soy lethicin taste I hate, but not quite as strong. That’s the one thing that didn’t make this tea a win for me.

Thank you Linda @ Joy’s Teaspoon for sending me this sample. I’ve been looking for a cinnamon tea that tastes more mellow and not so syrupy for those times I have cinnamon cravings that are more bakey cinnamon than Hot Cinnamon Spice cravings.

This tea has a great ground cinnamon flavor, with a bit of baked pastry flavor as well. I’m really enjoying the baked taste to this tea. It holds up well to cream and sugar, but doesn’t need it to be a dessert in a cup. This was a delicious choice for this morning. A nice sweet treat to enjoy while I’m stuck in my house. Lots of snow blowing around out there.

Thanks Melanie!

This is a pretty tasty tea for when I’m craving cinnamon but don’t want cinnamon-orange. I even get some of the pastry notes. As it cools it reminds me more of a cinnamon roll.

I really enjoyed the simplicity of this tea – simply cinnamon and simply delicious! I usually add a packet or two of Splenda to my tea, but with this one is sweet on its own. It smells soft and buttery too, which is a nice touch.

This is a hearty breakfast tea too – perfect to get the day rolling. Hence the name cinnamon roll, eh? Please ignore my awful puns but do enjoy this wonderful tea!

This is one of the samples that I received from Joy’s Teaspoon earlier this week. I appreciate that this is a very natural tasting cinnamon tea that isn’t trying too hard to cover up the tea base. I also think that the black tea base is of a good quality. It is quite bakey and smooth through the sip. This does taste like a cinnamon roll without the icing. Pretty good!

Finally! Everything I’ve been looking for in a cinnamon tea! It smells spicy like a cinnamon bear candy, but it doesn’t have that burning bite. Instead it has a fantastic black tea base, with a good strong but not overwhelming cinnamon flavor. It’s sweet and as everyone else has mentioned, a bit of a bakery flavor. It takes milk and sugar well, but if want to stay away from sugar it has a natural light sweetness (not a flavored sweetness). This is one black tea that actually tastes as good or even better as it cools down! So happy to have found this tea!

This is the third sample I received from Joy’s Teaspoon. This is a nice lighter cinnamon tea. The cinnamon is not hot spicy cinnamon more subtle cinnamon. This tea has a bakey feel to it. It was a pleasant cup. Thanks again Naomi for the samples! I have definitely added the spicy pear and creamsicle to my shopping list!

This blend was super simple but for a cinnamon junkie like me, it was heaven in a teacup. It wasn’t overdone but still had tons of spicy flavor. There was a really nice “baked” quality that definitely brought cinnamon rolls to mind.

My bad! I meant to write this last night , but I got distracted. I got this as a sample from JoysTeaspoon. Thanks so much!

The scent of this tea is very enticing and warm. It smells like the cinnamon in it is going to be overwhelming, but it isn’t. It’s actually quite mellow, as the taste of the black tea base is actually stronger. I like it very much, especially with a little shot of caramel syrup.

Really enjoyed this…not as spicy as another favorite of mine but very good. My daughter really likes this one too.

Was a bit worried this would go the way of the dessert-flavored stuff I tried from Culinary Teas (not bad, just disappointing, with an unsatisfying tea base and more aroma than flavor) because they both have ceylon as their foundation, but no! This was surprisingly yummy, and a lot smoother and silkier than the CT stuff. The cinnamon smells and tastes like true cinnamon, strong and not sweet, and the tea base is actually quite decent, round and satisfying, and seems to go well with the cinnamon flavor. I would definitely drink this again! Takes well to some milk and raw sugar.

I generally dislike flavored teas. However, this is one of the few exceptions—-I like this tea quite a bit.

The cinnamon flavor, while being very flavorful, is still subtle enough not to be cloying or overwhelming.

I would describe this as a very pleasant & soothing tea.
