I LOVE this signature, orange-cinnamon tea from Market Spice. The actual store in Pike Place Market in Seattle is a complete gem. The tea is aromatic and sweet- without adding sugar. The sweetness is strange in that after gulping it down, there is no sweet aftertaste, but more of a slight oily sensation. I can see how it might be off-putting initially… but this tea is addicting. Wish I had stocked up on more while I was in Seattle…but bc it is flavored with orange essential oils, its shelf life is shorter than other teas

Smells delicious, although flavors are fairly subtle and mild. Tones of vanilla. Doesn’t taste like your typical chai bc no cardamom.

I was initially skeptical of this tea when I opened it because the loose tea and spices were ground to the consistency of what you would find in a Lipton tea bag. After simmering on the stove with sugar and milk, however, it came out delicious. Didn’t even need a strainer as the tea and spices clumped together at the bottom of the pot. Perfect kick of spice and sweetness.
