This is the (tiny) free sample from my advent calendar order. It seems to be an orange spice sort of blend, which is fine with me.
Unfortunately I used a bit too much water because I wasn’t paying enough attention, but it doesn’t seem to have done too much damage. This has a strong sweet cinnamon candy-like flavor, sort of like Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney but without the actual sweetness that blend has. The cinnamon dominates the beginning of the sip, and then a bright orange oil note comes in and takes over near the end. The orange reminds me of candy as well, making this a very candy-forward tea for me. The black base has some body but I can’t taste much else, possibly due to the whole too-much-water fiasco… There’s a hint of clove here as well.
Overall, it’s fairly tasty. Probably not something I would feel the need to order since I already have a variant of Hot Cinnamon Spice, but I wouldn’t mind drinking it again. :)

Sounds like a variation of good old Constant Comment.
I actually remembered to buy a box of Constant Comment the last time I was at the grocery store, but haven’t cracked it open yet. :P
Their free samples are so tiny that I always end up adding too much water :P
I know, so tiny! :|
Ha, I thought the same thing when I saw the free sample. Zoolander voice: “It’s… for ants!”
It has to be at least three times bigger than this!
