From Harney & Sons

Our most popular flavored tea, this is a blend of black teas, three types of cinnamon, orange peel, and sweet cloves. It is remarkably assertive, and that is its most admired quality. This is the same blend as “Hot Cinnamon Spice”, with a different name.

I love cinnamon BUT with their other added flavors I will keep trying other teas for fun but in about 3 years I have yet to find one better. This is ABSOLUTELY delicious and I will always buy this even if I find another I enjoy. PLEASE never stop making this!!!!!!!

Everyone I know loves this tea and tries to give it to me. “I remembered that you like tea, and I just LOOOOVE this, so Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday/etc.” So I always think, “I’ll give it one more try” and then remember everything I hate about it. The thing about this tea is that it takes away from the actual tea experience for me. It tastes like a red hot. If I had any sugar or honey, it tastes like a sweet red hot. It doesn’t go with milk. I cannot influence the tasting experience of this tea in any positive way. While I like red hots, I don’t want to drink them.

Much like myself, this tea was far sweeter than expected. With a name like ‘Hot Cinnamon Sunrise’ (or Hot Cinnamon Spice depending on what size you buy it in) I figured it would have a bit more kick to it, but just wound up tasting like sugar water with a hint of cinnamon. Definitely drink this plain, adding milk just mutes what little taste there is completely.

This was the big hit at work tea time today, spurring the inevitable discussion: “Is it the same as Hot Cinnamon Spice?” The Harney answer we found on Facebook is yes. (You may already know that. I’m slow to join the parade sometimes.) It’s a lovely red-hots candy flavored tea if you haven’t tried it. The orange is more evident in the scent than the flavor. When it comes to cinnamon-orange-clove combos, I think I still prefer good ol’ Constant Comment because of its less sweet properties, but this is a nice pick-me-up that might keep me out of the chocolate before lunchtime.

So weird that the name is different for the sachet tin packaging, lol…

A young woman at church accepted an invite for tea at my house. We had four different ones a couple of weeks ago and she really liked them. I found out she is on a sugar restricted diet and immediately thought of this tea for her, so I bought a tin, invited her to supper and gave it to her last night.

This is exactly the same as Hot Cinnamon Spice, just a different tin. I figured sachets would be an easy way for her to start, but she tried it and says she is definitely ordering some loose leaf because she loves it!

This tea is SO sweet that it is hard to believe there is no sugar or sweetener of any kind in it. I even called the company to be sure because a couple of guests over the years have sworn there had to be sugar in it! The secret is the blend of three different types of cinnamon.

This tastes just like those Red Hots candies to me. The aroma is POWERFUL. As in, peel paint off powerful. It is so strong that I sometimes mixed it half and half with a plain black tea to tone it down, but true Red Hots lovers like it just as it is!

I am excited to have a new tea padawan!

A coworker has just discovered it as well and has kindly been sharing this week! Red Hots is precisely how I describe it. (Did your grandma ever melt them down and cook sliced apples in them?)

I doubt it! My father’s mom died when I was nine and in their extreme poverty – having raised ten children in a two bedroom house – I expect she cooked only absolute necessities! And my mother was from an orphanage so….Did yours make that? Oh, for happy grandparent memories! That would be so wonderful!

This particular grandma drove the family crazy at Christmas—the elder siblings would troll the house like chummed sharks because she took so long putting paper boots on the turkey or studding the ham. (I was still tiny; Mom just fed me before we came :)

Ha ha! I can just imagine!

Let me start by saying I do not like cinnamon candy, cinnamon cereal, etc. I do like cinnamon in bread and pies. I was given this as a sample. I was surprised that I absolutely enjoyed every drop and wished I owned it! I have since bought some because I find myself craving it!

I love a good cinnamon tea, but until this one, I’d always had cinnamon tea from Sri Lanka – the difference being in Sri Lanka, they lace a good black tea with cinnamon oil. Here, it seemed to be cinnamon spice was added to a fairly mild black tea. The result here was overwhelming. The cinnamon was simply too strong against a weak black tea background and was harsh in the mouth – sweet, spicy, and lingering.

Wow – not very tea-heavy, but a great flavorful cinnamony warm drink for a cold day.
I can steep this longer than most other black teas without it getting too sharp.
Nice, Smooth tea!

I needed to find a cinnamon tea so I went on the hunt I wasn’t particularly happy with David’s teas version of cinnamon tea( organic cinnamon rooibos chai) just not sweet enough so when I found this tea at chapters I decided to try it . Well, not what I was expecting, its a little sweeter than I wanted, like I added sugar sweet, so now we have the goldilocks syndrome right ? I don’t hate this tea I’m drinking it right now but I don’t love it either I think Bengal Spice(Celestial Seasonings) is my thing and I need to stop looking
with all that said I do recommend it to someone who loves sweet cinnamon without the calories.
