I feel so sad because I really wanted to like this tea. It smells AMAZING. Like refreshing oranges or sweet tangerines and spice. It reminds me of the holidays! However, the taste itself does not translate over from the smell. It tastes like black tea and cinnamon.

I do not get any orange flavour from this. It is more so there to give it a fragrance than an orange taste, which is so odd since Deb does her other citrus teas so well!

Plus, there is not much about this tea that invokes a cinnamon roll feeling. When I think of cinnamon roll, I would imagine something sweet like vanilla or icing sugar being used on top of the ingredients already in this tea.

I believe an excellent bakery-style teas that Deb has knocked out of the park are her apple caramel cinnamon bun and raisin bread pudding teas. Those tea blends actually taste like bread or pastries. I will purchase them again next time I order! :)

Flavors: Cinnamon, Orange

Hello everyone!

So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.

I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.

My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)

Dessert by Deb
The Tea Haus
The Chai Brewing Company

My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.

My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.

- Masala chai (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and other warming spices!)
