drank Hot Cinnamon Spice by Harney & Sons
768 tasting notes

A friend gifted me a tin of this tea as a belated birthday present. It’s the firs tea from Harney & Sons that I’ve had. I brewed up a cup early this afternoon and drank it while working. It was quite nice. I don’t know if I would have picked it up myself. I love cinnamon, but sometimes it a bit overpowering in tea and leaves me with an odd dryness on my tongue. But this is quite nice. It brewed up a dark amber color, and I could catch a tiny whiff of the cinnamon when I inhaled, so I suspect it’s very strong. The flavor is definitely cinnamon, but also a bit sweet. I can see this becoming a favorite for cold afternoons this winter.

Flavors: Cinnamon

I can totally relate with the dryness that comes with excess cinnamon. Also, happy belated birthday!

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
