Warming Ceylon black tea with fresh, cozy spices and orange. Zesty with a sweet finish.

With all of the different teas mixed together in this tea I was disappointed by its lack of taste.
I knew I was experimenting when I bought this tea, that there was a chance that it might not suit me, and it ended up not really working out. I'm sometimes sensitive to heavy spiced flavors, and this one is very, very spiced. I was hoping for the clove and orange to win me over, but I just mostly got cinnamon and a strange dryness that I wasn't a fan of. Neither sugar or milk could tone it down enough. friend of mine ended up loving it, so I passed the bag on to her.
Tastes like a Yankee candle store, way too artificial
I like my tea strong so I think next time i may add a bit more, but with that said i have to say this was an interesting cup of tea. I liked the tea, it was smooth, with an after bite of spice, that left me thinking, yeap this is christmas in a cup...
This was so soothing. curl up by the lit tree next to a fire kind of tea
Spicy and sweet at the same time. Fantastic blend, perfect for wintertime.
I picked up this tea as an extra sample when completing an order and it's a nice one. It reminds me of gingerbread cookies and thus of Christmas time. Not the most amazing flavour out there, but a nice seasonal treat.
I love my spiced teas. This one really does evoke feelings of the holidays.
This is much like a chai. For me they always smell better than they taste, but this is not too overpowering. I have only tried it plain, though, not with sugar and milk/cream.
It's Christmas in a cup. A bit spicy like chai, but it follows up and makes everything that much better for the holiday. Absolutely wonderful.
When I first brewed this tea my dad said it smelled like the potpourri we have around Christmas. Which is appropriate. It's sweet and spicy and quite tasty, but for me it's not an everyday tea.
Love love love this tea.The warm under tones are great and the hint of orange.winter just got a lot warmer.
I love this tea. When you drink it you can smell and taste the aroma of Christmas time.
I used a little extra tea and lost track of time whilst steeping...WHOA, Holy Strong Tea! I corrected my cup with a little extra hot water and enjoyed it thoroughly!
This tea smells EXACTLY like Christmas. Seriously, when I opened the bag it was just delicious. However the brewed tea calms down enough that it's not overly potpourri-like, and the orange and spices blend wonderfully and make a GREAT cup of tea. I'll definitely be buying again.
I would like better if more orangy. Then again, it does taste EXACTLY like Granny's potpurri.
A solid holiday spice tea. Not as strong smelling as the gingerbread but very nice.
This was exactly what I would have expected. I am a big fan of spiced teas and this did not disappoint. It didn't have the 'wow' factor that I have come to expect from adagio teas, though. Very good, but not mind-blowing. I guess every tea can't be a religious experience, though.
This tea smells great and has a great taste. I did have to add more tea than the package says, to get the full and stronger flavor. I also enjoyed it added to my Irish Breakfast for a strong morning cup. I will buy this one again.
tastes like christmas. warm flavors and fregrance. although maybe drink weaker brew if you get heartburn easy.
Good. Tasted like how it is described. Nice for the holidays.
I love this tea! (Although I must admit, I pretty much love any tea with cinnamon and cloves.) However, it doesn't seem very Christmas-y to me.
This really felt like Christmas in a cup. I loved the spice with hint of orange.
I'm not usually super huge on spiced teas, but 'tis the season, and this tea really did smell just like Christmas. A mild spice tea that really helped warm me up.
I have changed my mind about this tea. I thought I loved it at first but the spices for some reason ended up making me feel kind of sick. It tasted more like it should be a potpourri than a tea.
Of course I had to have this one for christmas morning! I love it, though I have to admit I like chai spice much better than this mix of spices.
This tea is great for the holidays. It has a nutty flavor and is delicious with milk and honey.
This is a fantastic winter blend. The orange and cardamom are flavorful and bright without being too strong.
As what others have said, it's good but it feels like it's lacking a bit of flavor somewhere. Other than that, it's a good Christmas blend.
I bought this for a friend and this is what she said: She had expected the orange peels to be strong, but they weren't overpowering. The orange peels and cinnamon blended well together in the tea and tasted great.
This smells spicier than it tastes. I liked it, but it's not one of my favorites. It didn't evoke the holidays for me and was a bit too acidic.
It was definitely very Christmassy. A lot of spice and yumminess.
The flavors of this were a little overwhelming and not mixed together so well. I liked the cinnamon, but it all felt a bit too acidic and overbrewed even when brewed correctly.
Wonderfully spicy and Christmassy! Tastes even better with some cranberry tea mixed in!
Great tea for the season. Perfect for chilly winter mornings!
I was a little skeptical because I'm not a super fan of 'christmas' teas that come out in stores, but I really really loved this!!! It's aromatic and the flavors really work well together.
Exactly like Christmas in a cup. Smells and tastes wonderful. I love the spiciness of the cloves
This was a gift, so I smelled the tea but did not taste it. Smelled every bit like Christmas, orange and clove and spicy. Everything you want from this blend. Will have to have a cup with the person who received this gift from me.
This is amazing! I love the cinnamon and cloves. The orange brings out a sweetness that balances the spice quite well. It really does taste like the holidays!
This tea was not very strong but had a nice aroma.
This tea is a good dessert tea if you drink it with say, pumpkin bread or a piece of pie. If you like flavors that remind you of Christmas, this is a good-tasting black tea, or an afternoon tea.
This tea made a great addition to my breakfast on Christmas Eve Day. A great breakfast tea with similar qualities to Cinnamon Stick tea, it has a great spice flavor and smell. Enjoyed it and will probably grace my breakfast for several more days. Even after Christmas. UPDATE: a really great way to have this tea is with orange. I liked it sooo much I made a blend (New Years) Yummy.
it wasn't good but it wasn't terrible either. don't think i'll buy again
This black tea infuses you with warmth, delicious spice and a bit of citrus. Smelling absolutely wonderful, just like one of those old clove studded orange decorations for the tree, this tea is a delightful way to warm up your holiday. If you like chai, you'll love this tea but I just really love the fact that I've found such a great orange spice tea. The orange is not overpowering or bitter however, as I've found with many orange teas. Well done, Adagio.
I really enjoyed this tea. I like that it is not as heavy as a chai but still has a similar spicy flavor. There was one flavor I couldn't pinpoint, hence the good and not great rating, but this is a really good tea when you're in the mood for a little spice.
Maybe I'm not making it right, but it tastes like there's something missing. I can taste all the spices but every time I don't taste the orange. Now I make sure to blend this with the fruit teas I have and then it tastes much better :)
Tho' this tea isn't as spicy as I had thought it would be, it's still a very nice, smooth, enjoyable tea. Reminds me of the earl grey moonlight tea.
The smell of the tea in the pouch is really wonderful. It goes great with cookies, too!
It really puts me in the holiday mood. The aroma is strong, and the taste is much lighter but not at all lacking.
Christmas is almost identical to Oriental Spice but with extra ginger, which tastes like powdered ginger. It gives it a little bitterness that I don't care for which is why I like Oriental Spice just a teensy bit better.
