One tea I always buy on repeat! I must have this in my cupboard! It is fantastic and highly recommend if you love cinnamon!
I've tried many decaf and rooibos teas and this is by far my favorite. I love the strong cinnamon flavor!
Delish warming tea. It’s great with a tea cookie in the chilly afternoon. I add a dash of nutmeg when I’m feeling fancy.
Cinnamon fan alert! This Cinnamon spice is so on point. I love this. Definitely a new favorite herbal chai.
This chai has such a sweet flavor that I don’t have to add any honey. It’s pretty strong so after letting it brew for a few minutes I usually add a splash of almond milk.
Spicy cinnamon sweetness! This one doesnt need much else!
We mix this with the samurai mate and the blend makes a tea flavor that is really similar to the samurai chai teavana used to sell
This was another nice rooibos tea. I could smell and taste cinnamon, and also apple but it was more subtle. The first cup I did 1 tsp per 8 oz and drank it black; the 2nd I did a heaping teaspoon and had with a drizzle of honey and spot of milk. The second cup was better and I appreciate it being caffeine free. This tea really captures the cooler weather months.
This is a great caffeine-free chai. The extra cinnamon flavor comes through nicely
Something is off about this tea. It smells sour, almost spoiled. Perhaps the apple pieces have gone bad. The cinnamon flavor is overwhelming and tastes fake-- there's no need to add cinnamon flavoring when cinnamon stick itself is already strong. It's like a hot tamale tea trying to cover up a spoiled taste. Not buying again.
*Update: I let the company know that the tea smells and tastes spoiled. They did not care, saying 'there are no other complaints' so it can't be spoiled. They did not offer store credit or swap. And they insisted that they offer 'inexpensive samples' and therefore have no obligation to satisfy customers who are disappointed in quality. This does not seem like the same company I patronized regularly 13 years ago at the Chicago location, who cared so much about quality tea and customer satisfaction. Adagio left a sour taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively.
Really good flavor. Really enjoyed this blend! Wasn't bland. Tons of flavor. Didnt need any sugar...!!!
I did not particularly care for this tea, however, my neighbor adored it.
Chi who? This aromatic sensation is only topped by the taste, bit of honey changes chemistry but without or with it is awesome.!!
This tea is very full of cinnamon. I love it. It’s similar to Sweet and Spicy Tea by good earth, only stronger. Don’t drink 4 cups or you might end up with heartburn
My absolute favorite fall evening tea!! Is pretty good with a splash of cream but I prefer just straight tea.
Good stuff with moderate caffeine. I made it by seeping 1.5 teaspoons of tea at 212 degrees for six minutes.
Very nice warm tea, With prominent cinnamon notes. Be careful not to steep it too long or it gets slightly bitter.
Update, Performs o k as a cold brew iced tea
Perfect cinnamon tea. wonderful hot for fall and winter and delicious cold for the warmer seasons. It tastes great unsweetened, although a little sweetener brings out the flavor a bit more.
I have recently tried the Cinnamon Rooibos from Adagio—and honestly, I’m so glad I did. It was incredibly warming and comforting, especially on chilly days. It is wonderfully smooth and naturally sweet. Super pleased with my choice—definitely worth it!
Drinking this tea reminded me why I hate the fake cinnamon flavor that is added to a whole lot of these Chai teas. Instead of having the B of true cinnamon spice it is this strange sweet simulacrum of cinnamon that leaves a nasty after taste in my mouth. Add that on top of the rooibos tea which I'm always on the fence about in any mix and you come out with a tea that I never ever want to drink ever again
I dream about this tea, you can never go wrong with Roobis
The cinnamon is fairly strong in this rooibos tea, and my husband didn't like it. However, we both loved the cinnamon roll rooibos that you were testing. We hope you will carry that one soon and we can blend it with this one to reduce the cinnamon intensity a bit.
This is my favorite flavor so far! I am fairly new to tea, but have re ordered this one and will likely re order again soon. There is a lovely smoothness and full cinnamon flavor that is quite pleasing.
I love this with a bit of 1/2 and 1/2. It satisfies my sweet tooth in the evenings. Will definitely order again.
This is absolutely a most scrumptious cup. You get the bakery Cinnamon Roll AND and the note of the Vanilla icing! A tremendous next-level dessert-y blend of yummy magic. You do not detect Rooibos notes, at all. A great tea for yourself or a gift for anyone who fancies a Caffeine-free dessert-y sip! Add Creme and Sweetening for heightening the flavor fun!
This is such a delightful treat! The cinnamon flavor is strong and it has an essence of sweetness without actually having sugar. I drink it hot, but it would be great iced too. Will purchase again in a larger size!
Really lovely cinnamon flavor in this tea, great for evenings
Good flavored tea with a fair amount of cinnamon. I prefer the stronger cinnamon flavored tea, but this one is still good. It tastes a bit sweet because of the robios.
This one is warming and smells great. It's a little sweeter naturally than other chais, which I expected because of the rooibos, which has been one of my favorite teas to drink unsweetened. It really doesn't need any extra sugar and is deliciously heavy on the cinnamon. I brewed it a little stronger, with 1.5 tsp, because I love extra cinnamon flavor. It's good as instructed too! Particularly lovely on a winter evening.
Perfect for the evenings. I can't drink caffeine after lunch time, but I like tea all day long. This tea lets me have a nice spiced tea if I am chilly after dinner. It is perfectly spiced and a nice way to warm up this winter!
The level of cinnamon in this tea helps wake me up, even without caffeine in the brew. Tasty sip.
I honestly think I could drink this every day and never get tired of it.
This is a classic. A little on the stronger side but I love it. It will always be in my fall rotation from now on
I love this tea! It is my favorite of all the hot teas. I suggest either the vanilla or the orange honey with it. I even added a bit of amaretto with it and it was great!
I really did enjoy this tea. It smells super cinnamony when when it’s dry, it actually reminded me of those cinnamon bears. The flavor when steeped lost a little of that cinnamon lunch but it was still fairly strong. The rooibos flavor is still there in the background but it doesn’t in any way dominate. I really enjoyed this and would happily have it again.
212* for 5 minutes
Not a fan...was very cinnamoney for sure, didn't taste anything that made me think of chai. The rooibos tasted apple ish to me. Red hots is pretty accurate too (although sweet, not spicy). Too much cinnamon, too much rooibos.
Now I'm not going to say this is great, but there is now a red rooibos blend that doesn't turn me off instantly. I still got the tobacco medicinal scent and flavor from the rooibos but I think the spicy cinnamon flavor really helped make that far more palatable than any of the others so far. Brewed at 204 for 8 minutes and tried straight up wasn't awful, I would even go so far as almost pleasant except for the ever present cigarette after taste. Not a tea I'd purchase, but not one I'd reject if it was the only thing available.
Loved this time it was like having red hot candies in a cup!! Will be adding to the cart for my next stock!!!
I knew today wouldn’t be for me, as I dislike both cinnamon and rooibos. I can’t get past the medicinal taste. My boyfriend, who enjoys cinnamon, loved it, so to each their own!
Mmm (nov ‘24)
Agreed with everyone who said this is like melted red hots- it is ! Straight up cinnamon no chai but no complaints I love cinnamon and it plays well w Rooibos
First, I do not like Rooibos, at all. However, I love cinnamon, which gave this blend a spicy sweetness that made it drinkable. I high compliment for someone who dislikes rooibos.
This is more cinnamon forward with a medicinal aftertaste. This tea would be good in a blend.
I do love a rooibos chai of all types, so this blend is right up my alley. Warm, spicy, and sweet, with no caffeine, it makes a great anytime tea on a cold day.
A nice straight forward cinnamon rooibos, what's not to like?
I truly love cinnamon and this tea delivers on all the cinnamon-y goodness. However, it tastes very similar, dare I say too similar, to the apple cinnamon rooibos tea I've tried before from Adagio. I give this version a higher rating because unlike the cinnamon apple blend, I do enjoy this tea on its own without having to pair it with something else like a pastry.
An exceptional Chai, Serious 'Big Red' flavor profile. I've shared this with a few people who are shocked there isn't a sweetener in this already. Strong Chai & Cinnamon flavor, maybe the best of the Rooibos Chai flavors.
Full cinnamon flavor. I love how packed with flavor this is, and the fact that it's caffeine free. I enjoy this with milk and honey for a milky bedtime tea.
Strong cinnamon flavor, sweetest tea I've had. Pleasant. Great non caffeinated evening drink.
Fell in love with this tea when it appeared in the 2023 Advent calendar and just had to get a whole bag! The delight of any cinnamon fan for sure.
Reminds me of artificial cinnamon flavor that candy tends to have. My partner loves it. I like it with a little cream to soften the flavor.
