Too much spice, not enough tea. I know it says cinnamon but I tasted clove and couldn't find the cinnamon.
Post-Steep Additives: Added sugar - also added honey (two separate brews) the sweetness in both cases brought out more of the orange, smoothed the flavor and gave a nice sweetness.
Resteep:
Weak spiced water, no tea flavor.
Not recommended
Rating: 1.5/3
Not a bad tea, but too spiced for my tastes
