Description

A combination of spicy cinnamon with bright, full Ceylon black tea, having our Cinnamon Black tea in your cabinet today is equally as prestigious. Very warm and high cinnamon flavor, with a clean, richly aromatic freshness. Spicy, crisp finish. Great blended with other teas!

Story

Cinnamon was among the spices whose trade funded the glories of Venice. Earlier in civilization, Egyptians used it for embalming (cinnamon has antibacterial properties) and Rome imported vast quantities of it, oddly enough to flavor wine, but not food. Using cinnamon as cooking spice became common during the Middle Ages, when it also gained a reputation as a digestive, an aphrodisiac, and a cold remedy. Nowadays, cinnamon is mainly used to flavor desserts, as well as a companion to coffee and tea.

"I really enjoy this tea. If you love the smell of strong cinnamon, opening the pouch is lovely. The taste is more mild cinnamon...which is perfect as it doesn't overcome the flavor of the tea."

"Not my favorite, but still good tea. Light and cinnamony. Good with a little sugar. "

"From the scent I'd have expected a bigger, badder cinnamon slap in the face, like Red Hots in a cup. Instead it's a nicely warming tea that works surprisingly well with milk and sugar, and that's fine too."

"A decent cinnamon tea but the flavor is towards the hotter cassia (rather than the sweet/smokey/mild true cinnamon) end of the scale."

"This is probably my favorite tea. The cinnamon taste is perfect and it even has a natural sweetness to it."
