Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here. My cupboard is down to about 18 teas aside from a sachet sampler I got as a gift from a friend. I am hard-core sipping down because most of my teas were old and need new refills soon so… why not. Plus, I’m down-sizing and figuring out which are absolute staples since I may be moving in the next year or two. Since that is the case, I want to minimize the craziness despite life being chaotic lately. TLDR: Life is a mess, but at least the cupboard isn’t.
On to the tea… despite loving the smell of it, Hot Cinnamon Spice is not a tea that I gravitate towards very often. In the past, I didn’t like it very much and getting the chance to revisit it in a sample… its still a love hate relationship. I like the tea for the first few sips, but there’s a strange sweetness that creeps in that is almost nauseating and I can’t keep drinking it. Although, I did find that it is nice mixed in with espresso or as a latte sooo…. by itself I give it a 70, with an addition… 85?
Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Syrupy

I only drink this one as a guilty pleasure latte ha ha, otherwise it’s just too sweet for me.
I wonder what it is about it that makes it so sweet… artificial flavoring… idk. I do want to find more… spicy fall blends just not necessarily this one.
I feel the same way about Good Earth’s sweet and spicy cinnamon version—good stuff, but could stand to be toned down.
My son is cold steeping a lot of tea and uses a ton of this, so I just ordered a one pound bag for him while they are donating 20 per cent to the profits to build a school for tea workers children in Mozambique. It is too spicy for me, but I have lots of friends and family who love it!
Wow that is amazing @ashmanra! Are they doing that for all teas or just Hot Cinnamon Spice?
Just HCS, but it is their number one selling tea so I expect they will reach their goal quickly!
