I love gingerbread so much and this tea just didn't do it for me. Not spicy enough, tasted a lot like pumpkin spice, but not as squash-y

I love gingerbread so much and this tea just didn't do it for me. Not spicy enough, tasted a lot like pumpkin spice, but not as squash-y
This is probably my favorite of the holiday flavors.
Sad. I love Gingerbread flavored things. I also love Gingerbread. This... This isn't it. The tea tastes flat, which is weird, because the Ceylon tea Adagio makes its flavored teas with is so sharp. The Gingerbread flavoring, though, tastes stale and tasteless. I can access some of the Gingerbread taste, I guess, some spices and some breadiness, but the tea doesn't work. Not one bit. I should have brewed something else this morning. I'm now stuck with a pot of this.
This is always a holiday favorite, it sells out quick
It's alright. I like it well enough it just seems like it needs something, I'm not sure what though
The spice in this tea is lovely from opening the bag. Milk and sugar makes it taste pretty close to a cookie.
Not my favorite...there was just something a little off about the flavor for me.
This is a very smooth tea. Perfect for December and January.
Reminds me a bit of vanilla tea. It doesn't have a very ginger taste to it or a very spicy one, but it is a good mild blendable tea for my other flavors to just add a bit more.
This tea is amazing :D
It did taste a bit like really heavy, intense gingerbread! But it also tasted smoky to me for some reason, which I did not expect. Kind of odd.
Not Quite Bread and Certainly No Ginger
I was not impressed with this tea. Thankfully, I received this tea as a free sample so I did not waste my precious tea dollars on the purchase. This tea is very bland and there was little or no taste of spice and the ginger element was non-existent. To say I do not recommend this tea, is putting it lightly as you could do much better with plenty of the other wonderful offerings provided by our great patron of tea, Adagio. You have been warned. This tea needs a doctor or to be retired from the tea canon.
This really didn't 'snap' as gingerbread. I'm missing the molasses flavor. It's more like a black tea with a bit of cinnamon. It would be good in blends.
It kind of tastes like grandma's house and cookies in the oven. Some of the best stuff ever!
Love the taste of fall. I'd like to see it in caffeine-free status.
Tastes spot on and is a great tea to cozy up with!
A warm comforting hug in a mug! As soon as the temperature starts to drop, I pull this tea to the front of my cabinet. The gingerbread tea is great with a splash of almond milk, and several blends with gingerbread tea have become my favorite winter teas. Would make an excellant addition to Christmas gift baskets for your tea friends!
I thought it would be more like gingerbread and less like cinnamon bark. Not a fan.
I didn't taste the ginger bread flavor that much while drinking this tea but I still really enjoyed it. And it did leave a ginger bread aftertaste in my mouth though, which was very nice and christmasy
gingerbread is very good as a after dinner tea made with just a little creamer in it.
My very favorite tea of all. The smooth texture of the cream tea with the perfect hint of gingerbread makes this a great hit. I always go through so much of this in the fall because it goes with pumpkin bread and all pumpkin desserts perfectly. But, I drink it year round. Yummy!
It's alright, but I did expect a stronger gingerbread-y flavor. I'll finish the sample I got.
This has always been one of my favorite teas to drink around the holidays (although admittedly, I also drink it when it's not cold out!).
This tea smells just like warm gingerbread, not gingerbread cookies. Its molasses and cinnamon and the smell alone makes me want my grandmother's cookies. The flavor is just as nice as well. The cinnamon stands out the most with out sugar with small hints of ginger. With sugar the slight cinnamon in it stands out and that combined with the ginger makes it taste like it has molasses in it.
This tea tastes like Christmas. I drank the entire pot of it in less than twenty minutes. Thank you making a tea that reminds me of my childhood.
This tea has a nice flavor, although I don't think it can really be called 'gingerbread'. Maybe a very light spicy vanilla, although the aftertaste does have a bit of something else that's allllmost gingerbread but not quite. It's nice, just doesn't live up to the name. I think mixing it with some other type of tea, like a chai, might give it that kick.
I ordered this tea alongside the pumpkin spice tea, and in all honesty, the pumpkin spice one reminded me more of gingerbread than this one? This tea is lacking just a little something, but I don't know quite what's missing...
This was my 'add-on' tea. I often use these opportuniteas (get it? Haha!) to try new, quirky flavours that I might not try otherwise. After all, it's a free tea with no risks involved!
This tea tastes somewhat like gingerbread. It certainly has all the 'spices' flavour, but to me they taste almost chai-like. It smells very much like gingerbread, but in my opinion the flavour lacks the sort of toasty-warm flavour of gingerbread. I think it is quite nice and a good autumn tea (that time is coming quickly!). It could have been coincidence, but I feel as though this tea makes me a bit shakier than most.
It was a fun new taste to try, and I see myself finishing off the leaves, although maybe not in haste.
This tea is amazing. It is a little more of a sweet gingerbread rather than spicy, but it is warm and very comforting. Perfect for the fall and winter. One of my new favorites.
This tea is like the warm toasty feeling of the holidays. I like to mix it with some vanilla almond milk, its better then any latte you can get at Starbucks.
Nice taste, smell, and flavor. Little bit of sweetener brings out some more undertones. Beware of over brewing, it will then become very sharp.
Not much of a black tea flavour, and the flavour that was there did not remind me of gingerbread or ginger.
Wow, I am so glad I chose this tea to be my free sample. This is the epitome of a perfect tea --- great aroma, great taste, great to mix with other teas. This will spice up any neutral tea you have into a sweet treat.
This tastes like a liquefied gingerbread house melted down... delicious.
Was interesting alone, but I mixed it with vanilla and caramel teas and it was okay. Then I mixed with just caramel tea and it was splendid.
I like the taste. With a little sugar it is perfectly sweet and drinkable. The problem is that I don't really get gingerbread when I drink it.
Fun, sweet, interesting flavour. It needs a little cinnamon or nutmeg to make it more full but still great. A clean tea!
Another good tea, reminds me of cookies!!! Great in winter.
This is nice, although the smell is admittedly overwhelming.
This tea is decent and flavorful, though by itself, it was a bit weak for me. That being said, I've tried it in a blend mixed with some other dessert-type flavors that really enhance the gingerbread, so all in all, great tea!
There's something about this warm and cozy tea that's wonderful year-round. I don't wait for Winter to enjoy this one!
Good for the holiday season! Not my favorite all the time but I enjoyed getting into the christmas spirit while sipping this tea.
A decent flavored tea, nothing extraordinary. I imagine it'd be good for blending. Drink it with milk.
This flavor is tasty. I got it for the holiday season, and it is has a nice balance. I was afraid it would be overpowering or really sweet, but the flavor works nicely.
The cinnamon flavor here is quite nice, and there's a definite amount of cakey cookiness present, as well. But where's the ginger?! It's not gingerbread without it!
Doesn't hit the gingerbread flavor nail on the head, but does a handful of things well. The tea captures the strength of the spices in the sweets with noticeable notes of cinnamon with hints of (good) bitterness. There's certainly a vanilla/creamy flavor at the end, making it reminiscent of gingerbread as well as a standard chai tea. All in all, the flavor is ultimately a bit too quiet, underplaying all the aforementioned good.
The gingerbread flavor is really subtle...and I mean really subtle. The tea is nice and warm and cozy but it doesn't so much taste like gingerbread as it does just warm and cozy
This tea had an earthier scent and wasn't quite as sweet as I expected in the bag. It brewed up much better but still needed a little bit of sugar. Then it was perfect.
This is perfect mixed in with just a bit of milk, to bring out the creaminess in it. . A . I LOVE IT.
This gingerbread tea was not nearly as delightful as I was anticipating. I really loved many of the other fall/Christmas seasonal teas and expected to find this one similarly wonderful. However, while not at all unpleasant, the flavor does not remind me of gingerbread. I get a tiny hint of cinnamon and another flavor I can't pin down, but that certainly isn't telling my pallet gingerbread. I much prefer the Pumpkin Spice and Christmas tea for a sweet, cinnamon-y, seasonal tea. I'm glad I got a sample of this rather than going for the 3oz right off the bat.
I was surprised by this tea after receiving a sample - the ginger is not overpowering. A good winter tea.
