Description: Naturally sweet cinnamon blended with black tea creates a spicy-sweet balance that surprises and satisfies while cleansing the palate.

Steep Information:

Steep Time: a little over 2 minutes (and then I went to have a discussion in another cube, not sure how long)

Dry Leaf Smell: cinnamon, natural barky

Delicious, reminds me of Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice.

It came as part of the Tea Forte "Holiday Spice" set of 20 silken infusers black and herbal teas. I purchased it specifically for the Winter Chai. The set listed on the website includes 20 pyramid infusers with Five infusers each of: Winter Chai, Sweet Orange Spice, Ginger and Vienna Cinnamon. Apparently this box does not have Sweet Orange Spice and instead has Winter Spice.

Rating: 4/4 leaves


Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free
2=Acceptable, if it were free or there were limited other tea options
3=I might purchase this tea from time to time, or select it while out
4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
