Description

In the Middle Ages, having cinnamon in one's home was a status symbol for Europe's elite. Combining spicy cinnamon with the bright, full taste of Ceylon black tea, having a tin of our Cinnamon flavored black tea in your cabinet today is equally as prestigious.

Story

Cinnamon was among the spices whose trade funded the glories of Venice. Earlier in civilization, Egyptians used it for embalming (cinnamon has antibacterial properties) and Rome imported vast quantities of it, oddly enough to flavor wine, but not food. Using cinnamon as cooking spice became common during the Middle Ages, when it also gained a reputation as a digestive, an aphrodisiac, and a cold remedy. Nowadays, cinnamon is mainly used to flavor desserts, as well as a companion to coffee and tea.

"Very tasty. The cinnamon is not too overpowering yet you still get a good sense of it. I enjoy mine with just a hint of cream or half and half..makes it kind of like dessert!"

"As others have mentioned, this tea has a strong aroma of red hots, or maybe cinnamon potpourri. I found the taste to be somewhat overpowering and a bit bitter- it improved with the addition of cream and sugar, but this might be too much cinnamon for me. It seems like it would work well as part of a blend with other teas, but I don't think I'll be drinking it on its own again. "

"Pleasant cinnamon taste, and a nice change of pace. Not one I'd drink daily, but I definitely would keep this on hand to change things up once in a while."

"Love. Lovelovelove. Cinnamon tea has been a lifelong staple for me, and this one is delightful. It has a scent that's slightly candy-like -- a "high, bright cinnamon" as opposed to a "low, smoky cinnamon" if that makes sense. I highly recommend this, and encourage you to try it with sweetener and cream. (Especially on cold days -- this flavor makes me long for autumn!)"
