Hot Cinnamon Spice

As the other reviewers have said, this one is really just Red Hots in a cup. There’s no subtlety here, no base tea lingering at the end or complex flavour notes…it’s simply a profoundly cinnamon tea, and a well done one at that.

With that said, I would’ve preferred a little more complexity, so for me this is a good tea…but not one I would choose to drink again.

I love this tea so much— it’s the tea that introduced me to the Harney and Sons brand. You have to really love cinnamon (I do!) to enjoy this tea… the flavor is both hot and sweet, almost like cinnamon Red Hot candies are melted into a good black tea. It’s especially good in the fall and winter.

I thought this was a green tea. The leaves looked kind of green in the clear bag MissB had sent but there was no brewing instructions. No problem. Just brought it up on here and saw it was a black tea. Maybe the cinnamon coated the black leaves and made them look green??? So I brewed it with boiling water. It smells delicious. I could sit all day and sniff this. For taste it’s okay. The black tea is a robust tea . The cinnamon mellows it out somewhat. It’s even better as it cools down a bit and I can taste the sweetness of the cinnamon more. I think my husband will enjoy this tea since he loves cinnamon. I can’t get really excited over it but it’s still a good cup of tea.

I noticed one tea bag of this added to the Tea&Cards TTB, I secretly wanted it but did not think I had a chance on it making it to me. So, I was extra excited to get this in my mystery pack from MissB. I wanted to try this because it has been compared to red hot candies just like DAVIDsTea Hot Lips green tea that I like.

At first I did not want to like it more than Hot Lips but I think I do. Why? Because, I almost always choose a black tea over green, it is surprisingly naturally sweet and it’s fun to drink. It reminds me even more of red hots because of the sweet that is already there. Thanks MissB

To date, this is my favorite cinnamon tea. It smells like red hots, and the cinnamon flavor is strong and sweet. It’s how I always imagined cinnamon tea should taste. Love to brew a pot while I study.

Warm, comforting, very flavorful. Very aromatic. Delightful tea!

Love this tea. It is super cinnamon-ey and sweet! Don’t even need any sugar and I always want to put sugar in everything.

I stumbled across this tea in a sample box I bought at Barnes & Noble, and it quickly became a favorite. I wound up ordered a full box from the Harney & Sons site (along with others).

This tea is perfect for an Autumn day, or really any day with a bit of a chill to it (or a lot of a chill). With the sweet cloves, you don’t need any sweetener at all. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness and spice with the blend itself. The greatest thing is that one tea bag will get you two cups! The second won’t be as strong, of course, but still delicious.

I have an electric teapot that I use for most brewing, and pour the water directly over the satchel in the cup. I don’t even remove the bag as I drink it, honestly. If I did, my second cup might be stronger, but I don’t mind.

This tea is easily in my top three favorite teas out there.

I adore this tea! I love spicy blacks, and this one is just incredibly comforting. It is perfect for chilly and dark days like today!

Liquid red hots. A favorite.
