Well that was a cinnamon punch! I did like it just maybe wasn’t ready for that much of a cinnamon punch.
This tea packs the perfect punch of cinnamon flavor, blended with Ceylon tea, orange peels, and cloves.

Well that was a cinnamon punch! I did like it just maybe wasn’t ready for that much of a cinnamon punch.
I thought this one would be spicy, but it really wasn’t. It had way too much cinnamon, especially ground cinnamon in it for me. It appeared to be about 1/2 a tsp at least left in the bottom of my mug. I didn’t drink all the way to the end for fear of too much cinnamon. If you live cinnamon, this one might be for you! I wish I could’ve tasted the orange, but I didn’t.
Update: CommuniTEA sample: 3 min @ 212 F. This tea is not fiery nor spicy as it used to be called, and it seems more artificially sweet than actually sweet to me. I genuinely think there's too much cinnamon in here, it's dusty and blocks out any other flavors and textures from the mouth. The tea smells more like a cinnamon candle to me than actually something consumable. It does smell good, but there's a weird waxy aroma, and it just doesn't have any other taste notes to it besides cinnamon.
CommuniTEA sample: 3 min @ 212 F, this tea isn't bad, but it's not really what I was hoping given the name and description. There's a lot of cinnamon, and that's noticeable as I felt like it was much lighter as far as teas - less flavor and color to the liquor. The cinnamon overwhelmed the aroma and was very sweet! I wouldn't call it fiery though, expected something spicier. And by the second infusion, it had very little flavor. If you like sweet cinnamon, you'll like this one though!
Another olfactory tour de force that hits the tastebuds completely differently. The dry aroma was that of a combination spice and tea aisle; brewed, it was mulled cider spice minus the apple. The tea itself was completely lost in the spice, but as a mulling mix the blend was perfect. I added a couple tablespoons of apple cider to my mug and I had a low-calorie way to enjoy mulled cider in all its glory.
Communitea Jan 2025. Not my normal cup of tea, but not bad as long as you are ready for a kick. You definitely get some cinnamon jolt in here, but it also resteeps well.
It was delicious! Like stepping into fall. Super cinnamony and cozy
Quite strong for my taste, so I prefer using it to give other teas some spice rather than having it on its own - but it still is great to have a nice cup on snowy nights.
Absolutely delicious and will definitely order again. Christmas in a cup
Such an excellent tea. Sweet and spicy but there is a bit of a lingering aftertaste on the tongue. I'm considering repurchase.
Absolutely terrible. I was so excited to get this tea based on the description and all the positive reviews I made a cup as soon as I got it in the mail. Huge disappointment. If you had Harney and sons version and loved it, you will be very dissatisfied with this. It is NOT hot, spicy or sweet of cinnamon at all. I let the tea bag sit in the cup the entire time while drinking to see if any flavor came out. Just bland black tea with a tiny hint of cinnamon. Will not buy from this company again. Sticking with Harney and sons. I hope to save you all some money, do not buy.
This tea for me was fine, just nothing special. The spicy cinnamon flavor was there, but to me it was somehow off. I didn’t dislike it, but it isn’t one I would purchase again.
When a friend of mine was visiting, we tried this tea. It was so good, she took it back to the East Coast with her.
A bit too much cinnamon for me. You fedinitely must love cinnamon for this tea! Well I mean...it is in the name haha.
This is a great tea that both smells and tastes strongly of cinnamon with a sweetness to the blend that made me wonder if it had sweetener in it. It actually reminds me of those cinnamon bears you can get. I was quite happy with the flavor, though I think that many would feel that it truly shines in blends. I would very happily have this tea again 🙂
212* for 3 minutes
This Fiery Cinnamon Spice tea surpassed my expectations. The presence of cinnamon was sweet and strong but not spicy hot as the name suggests it might be. I was lucky and had many chunks of dried orange peel which gave a lovely citrus taste that goes very well with cinnamon. I did not have clove in my CT packet but could taste it's presence. Delicious tea.
Amazing cinnamon flavored tea. Has an atomic fireball sort of flavor. Now a lot of spice. More cinnamon vs cardamom.
I love Fiery Cinnamon Spice!!!
I could drink this all day!!!
It's okay. It may be my portion sample, because I didn't see any orange pieces, but the tea is very one note. Black tea with cinnamon, and more cinnamon.
I really wanted to love this tea, and it was good...but it seemed a little bland. I don't think that's the tea's fault. I just prefer cinnamon if it's blended with other things. Also, the cinnamon went right through my strainer, and it was a bit messy to drink. That wasn't a big deal, but if I try it again, I'll be sure to use a fillable tea bag instead.
update: Yep, still good. Pretty straightforward spicy cinnamon. Delicious for a cold day.
liked this! It won't take the place of my beloved cinnamon-heavy raja oolong chai but i enjoyed.
This was one of the flavors in the monthly CommuniTea for November. Firey Cinnamon Spice has to be one of my absolute favorites. I like to follow the instructions on the back of the packaging for this one. 3 mins of steep time with a touch of sugar makes for a delicious winter time treat.
Spicy , sweet and warm. A delicious tea that goes great with apple pie waffles.
What's not to like? It's a tea that tastes like cinnamon. However, if you're craving a cinnamon tea and have to watch your caffeine intake, then definitely check out the herbal versions of this. They taste remarkably similar.
Update for 11/9/24 ~ I, now, love Fiery experience of this cinnamon cup as a solo sip too, not just in blends. However, Fiery Cinnamon is great with Adagio's Sweet Potato Pie blend.
Update for 10/4/23 ~ CommuniTEA Review -- Adding 5️⃣🌟's stars -- I have grown to love Fiery Cinnamon, quite a bit more. I find that it's a lovely dash, in small amounts in certain blends. I shall enjoy my CT Cuppa Fiery Hot with creamer, this time.

A red-hot, warming cuppa for the cold daze 🤪🔥! *Puts some Pep in ya Step!* Not something I would reach for on the regular.. but here and there, this would be a spicy treat! (200° for 4 mins with ¼ tsp Florida crystal rock sugar)
The rare black tea where I don't need to add non-dairy creamer because it is perfect all on its own!
This tea is awful - it's a giant powdery mess that completely clogs the IngenuiTea infuser I've used for years. It does not look like the picture at all - maybe I got the bottom of the barrel. I am so sad because I love spicy cinnamon teas and typically prefer Adagio over other brands, but Harney and Sons beats this one - hands down. Sadly, I bought a pound, assuming it would be as good as all of the other Adagio teas I buy.
This is a wonderful spicy black tea with the right amount of cinnamon. Don’t let the ‘fiery’ in the name scare you as everything is well-balanced with the orange and cloves. This is the ideal tea for the cooler months and will warm you up nicely.
I picked this tea for the potential of fiery Cinnamon Spice. Not much fieriness. But it is a very nice tea to enjoy. It is one of the teas I have been using for my evening tea pot while reading. I added a little honey for sweetness. Then later once it had all cooled. I added some ice and enjoyed it cold.
Not a bad tea, but I didn't get any orange from this. It was basically just cinnamon and clove. I will add it to some blood orange tea for a more flavorful combination.
Completely amazing. Taste like a red hots without the cloying sweetness or the burning of your tongue. I LOVE it!
I might be addicted to this tea. I got a small sample back in the spring and have been thinking about it ever since. It’s the kick of cinnamon I was craving with the balancing undertone of black tea. I could drink this every day!
This is definitely a contender for a spot amongst my top favorite teas. The cinnamon flavor is powerful and perfectly spicy without unnecessary bitterness. It pairs well with sugar free maple syrup and brown sugar stevia or other sweetener. If you like the Hot Tamales cinnamon candy, this tea is for you!
My family loves it but I am not overly fond of the fiery cinnamon spice. It is exactly as the title suggests and is much too strong on the cinnamon flavor for my tastes. However, my family completely adores it and says that they love it and it is the perfect amount of cinnamon flavor. It is steeped for 10 minutes to get the maximum flavor.
Not a bad tea, but I was expecting more spice and a fiery taste in it. A bit mellow for me. I do taste a lot of cinnamon.
This tea is a kick in the mouth in the best possible way. I love cinnamon and it is perfectly complimented by the tea and orange flavor. Enjoy!
I love how intensely cinnamon-y this tea is. Fantastic and indulgent with a good amount of milk and sweetener to make a spicy creamy tea latte.
I adore cinnamon tea and this one did not disappoint. Nice cinnamon flavor but not too hot. Perfect amount of spice.
Great tea, I love the spice, even in the summer. It may sound more like a winter blend, but I will drink it year round!
One of my very favorites. It's quite zingy, though it certainly clogs up my tea infuser. Too many cinnamon teas have just a hint of cinnamon; not this one!
STRONGEST cinnamon flavor that is wonderful on chilly nights.
This one is hubby's favorite! It's excellent hot or cold. It's very warming and spicy. We make a pot, let the leftovers cool, then have the rest iced.
This is great as an afternoon tea. Not too hot for my taste. Everyone around me at the office love the aroma.
I think this is very good. I love a cinnamon teas and this does not disapoint.
Love this tea. This is the tea that got me hooked!!
If you like cinnamon that’s really hot & spicy…this blend will wake your brain up in an instant. Love this at holiday time.
This was *very* sweet, too sweet for me. If I try it again I might see if a dash of milk mellows it out enough. If you usually put a little sugar in your tea, this will probably work for you without, so perhaps a useful way of cutting down on sugar?
Warm cinnamon flavor. I am avoiding caffeine so I would prefer a herbal cinnamon blend. Oh I guess this review has a minimum length. Done!
This is delicious. I love to add a bit of sugar to have that lovely sweet and spicy cinnamon taste.
I love this black tea! Just the right combination of cinnamon and other flavors. It is just the perfect amount of spicy taste for me.
Way too cinnamon-forward for me. I was looking for something warming for the winter, but this was too much. It literally felt like I was drinking a cup of cinnamon powder... and I usually enjoy cinnamon in my beverages.
