It was a little weird. There were unexpected flavors
If you love cinnamon, you'll love this! However, this isn't fiery, it's quite sweet. There is a more pronounced flavor than in the Cinnamon black tea, but it's not as spicy as expected. Still, for a cinnamon lover, this is perfect!
Strong cinnamon flavor, as expected. But not much else. Not a very complex tea.
If you're looking for a cinnamon tea, this is great. In comparison to my other favorite cinnamon tea, Hot Cinnamon by Harney and Sons, it's a little sweeter in a nice and natural way. I think the sweetness adds a little to the flavor and reduces the straight kick you get from other cinnamon teas, but it is a very light sweetness so it's not a major change to that cinnamon flavor.
Loved this flavor. Added a lot of layers of taste and a great spice. I will order this flavor.
Tastes almost exactly like fireball whiskey, not my thing
You'd think that this blend would be bitter, however it was sweet, chai-like and savory. More like a dessert or novelty candy. Half spoon of rock sugar and a touch of cream, made this a nice pastry accompaniment.
Delicious and balanced. Great for making a syrup too!
Exactly the sort of tea I've been looking for since Teavanna closed. Except Adagio's is even more flavorful. Can't wait to stock up on more.
EDIT: Still the absolute best one.
Great flavor! Excited to find a cinnamon tea that is strong.
Got more of the natural sweetness of the cinnamon than anything else. Not an absolute favorite, but rather good.
Omg this is the best tea. The name does not do it justice. I just ordered two more bags.
You can never go wrong with ordering anything that has Cinnamon in it. Love it!
fiery is no joke! this tea is not for the faint of heart, or those that only kind of like cinnamon. i even brew this slightly weak sometimes because brewed at strength can really get my tongue tingling. it is however delightful when you are feeling under the weather or need some extra oomph in your morning cup to get you going.
Loved this tea and will certainly order it again; one of my favourite teas.
I love this tea! There’s some really nice spice here, and a small scoop goes a long way. Wonderful!
I love cinnamon teas. I have just 1 complaint and that is that it doesn’t have enough cinnamon. If the name says fiery It should be fiery
it's not really a tea I'd go for drinking straight but it's a great inclusion when I try my hand at making blends!
Tastes like red hots without the burny mouth feel. This tea is fantastic
Oh wow, is this good! I think I found my new favorite tea to spice things up! Great cinnamon and spice flavor! YUM
Great cinnamon flavour, really does taste like a cinnamon disk candy! I had to steep it longer to get the strength of the flavour I wanted.
This is outstanding! Reminds me of a gum I used to chew. A bit similar to Fireballs also (if you let it steep for a long time). Love this.
Wow! Fiery is on point for describing this tea! The cinnamon notes hit you right out of the gate. Very strong, but not unpleasantly so. It's a great tea for any time of the day when you really need a pick-me-up.
I absolutely love this tea. The smell, the feel, and the taste are all great. My husband is a coffee drinker and will occasionally drink a tea with me but now comes running when I make this one. The combination of flavors really comes together on this. I love most things fiery/spicy and this did not disappoint.
So delicious! Spicy! For my personal preference, I would have liked a bit more orange to round out the cinnamon punch...but you don’t need any sweetener for this, in my opinion. Just feel the burn, baby!
Seriously FIERY! I happen to love, but if you are not committed to the fire, I'd skip this one.
I loved the taste - not too overpowering - but could have done without the powdered cinnamon. It made for a gritty cup and a complete mess.
Delicious until the last sip, which was full of the cinnamon which wasn't contained by my tea ball. Not as 'fiery' as expected.
Wasn't sure about this one since there are reviews saying this tastes like Big Red or Atomic Fireballs, which I don't like at all... However, I enjoyed this! To me it was VERY cinnamon-y, though I think some CommuniTEAers have said theirs had only mild flavor. I added a little bit of honey and vanilla almond milk to the second half of my cup which I liked, but I enjoyed it more unsweetened! Without additions, I could taste the dryness of the cinnamon which reminded me of when I was a kid and used to put tons of cinnamon on top of applesauce, which I still do when I'm sick. Unsweetened, it almost reminds me of cinnamon in a savory dish, like garam masala spices, plus a little bit of heat, and I don't mind the ground cinnamon in the bottom of my cup because I figure maybe I'm getting more cinnamon health benefits (tho I'm guessing). I think I'd need to be in the right mood for this one though...
Such a good cinnamon tea for the holiday season! Love it with a touch of milk
This smelled like a box of Red Hots. It even tasted like a box of Red Hots - minus the heat. I definitely got the cinnamon but Adagio forgot the fire in my packet of Fiery Cinnamon Spice. Consumed with the CommuniTea on December 1, 2020.
I love cinnamon, but hate the artificial spicy cinnamon flavor- think hot tamales/ fireball. In anticipation of this being more of the flavor I don’t like, I did a short steep, steeped it twice, then mixed the two together. It helped tone it down a lot, as did the spoonful of sugar. It was not terrible, but adding almond milk made it really good!
December CommuniTEA box:
This tea is too sweet, not spicy, and has a very strange artificial taste.
Honestly not bad, not something I’d drink all the time though.
This tea had really great flavor when first brewed. Cinnamon, clove and orange are always a great blend. But as it cooled down all the ground cinnamon sank to the bottom of the cup and the last dregs of my brew tasted like just cinnamon mixed with water. My recommendation... don't let this tea sit too long or... stir it with a spoon as you enjoy it to keep the cinnamon well blended.
I love a nice, warm, comforting cup of cinnamon tea. This is the perfect cup for a cold winters night. I also love the hints of clove and orange.
Cinnamon, clove and orange are some of my favorite flavors so I was super excited to try this. I have to admit that the smell was so strong upon opening I was worried the cinnamon would be too much. Nothing could be further from the truth. What a delicious cup! The cinnamon was not nearly as strong as it smelled and the clove and orange helped to mello it a bit. I had 2 really nice steeps. First was 190 for 2 min, second was 200 for 3min both with a 1/2 tsp honey. Will definitely have to add this to my cold weather tea list.
Not my favorite, but that could just be my taste preferences. It tasted a lot like artificial flavoring and sweetener to me--which happens in my opinion with cassia. 4 @ 200
Omg so much cinnamon! This is absolutely fantastic. I thought it would be great with a little sugar, but it was honestly better without it. It's warm and spicy and delicious!
I was hoping for a bit more punch of cinnamon spice in this one, but still a solid tea to start off the holiday season (CommuniTEA).
When I opened the packet the smell hit my nose and made me think of red hots candies, but the flavor was much more mellow it was the perfect amount of cinnamon.
This tea is vibrant and yummy! The cinnamon is strong and wonderfully pleasant. Tastes a bit like big red gum :)
Always enjoy a good cinnamon tea! Very warm and comforting scent, and an excellent taste. I'm gonna make a note of this one and come back to it on cold days when I need a cup of cozy.
Beautiful cinnamon flavor and perfectly fragranced. It smelled like a crackling fire and a cinnamon stick, and the flavor really shined. Definitely buying this again.
What you see is what you get with this tea. When I saw 3 different types of cinnamon on my CommuniTEA packet I knew it'd be a kicker. I'm the kind of person who shamelessly doubles the amount of cinnamon in recipes. That being said, this tea is kind of a one-hit wonder - there's cinnamon for sure...and not much else going on. It's alright, just not what I'm looking for in a tea. Though I did add a small amount of brown sugar to my second steep and that was absolutely delicious; it tasted like fresh baked cookies!
This tea tastes like cinnamon. Maybe it's just me, but I got nothing else - no orange or clove. So, if you love cinnamon, you'll love it. If you want something more complex, this isn't the one. I felt like I'd drink it at a friend's house if offered, ut wouldn't buy this flavor for my own stash.
So I loved the taste of this but there was too much orange for me. I’m allergic to orange but in tiny amounts I can usually handle it with a Benadryl. Sadly, not this one. But I adored the taste and would love to try the blend without the orange!
Nice tea. Next time I will use a different steeping method. Last sip was like drinking a spicy candy heart. Not sure I will buy this one but it was a nice tea.
This tea is more muted than I expected it to, but I'm definitely not complaining because it was the perfect cup for the first truly cold morning of the winter season in my part of Texas. It was so smooth and soothing and definitely something I plan on purchasing in the future.
The smell of cinnamon was strong on opening the packet, but once steeped it mellows out to this delicious little cup of spice. I get a hint of clove, but not really tasting any orange at all. After adding a small splash of heavy whipping cream, it rounded out the flavor even more. I wish the orange had peeked through even the tiniest, but the cup was very enjoyable all the same!
