★★★☆☆
Exactly as described. Just too much cinnamon for my liking.
Honeybush hazelnut and cocoa nibs relax and ground you, while a spice blend of aniseed, cinnamon, clove, and orange peel offer cozy comfort.

A Smokey, spicy tea is a unique tea blend. It reminds me of drinking a cup of tea around the fire, eaten with a smoore would set it off perfectly
My mom totally loved this tea! I however couldn't get past the smokey taste, but I see how it'd be great if that didn't bother me.
The smell of this was just so strong I couldn t even try drinking it--I didn t find it appetizing at all, I m afraid.
Thought I would like this flavor based on the ingredients.
Would not buy again.
Very particular tea, tastes of leather and tobacco
Another wonderful Fall smokey tea that will 'leaf' you smiling, warmed, and glad for the great taste with or without the bonfire!
Very tasty. Love that it did remind me a bit of a bonfire
delicious! a little smokey and a little sweet. a very good fall tea!
Loved it. Very “fall”. Kind of spicy and very warming.
Nice Autumn feeling with the hazelnut and light smoky lapsang in the backround.
I did double the steeping time, added my honey in there and it made it amazing!!
It doesn't lie when it says 'herbal': I never felt so calm drinking any other tea. It even beats Camomile tea!
The taste of the tea is unusuall, and unique. When you drinking you starting to thing about the forest and campfire. I like the taste. The tea gives you a really nice aftertaste. If you like to try a new tastes I would reccomend to try it.
This is among the most offensive smells I've smelled in my entire life. I gagged when opening the bag, so I knew I wouldn't like the tea, but I still tried it anyway. The aftertaste is still lingering. I can only describe it as taking a bite of a log that was burnt and then rained on, left out in the woods for a few days. I can say that they did capture the essence of fire with this tea, but it is not for me...
After one sip, I dumped the tea and ate something to cleanse my palate. Sadly, this was the worst tea I’ve ever tried.
Very very smoky and not the most pleasant aroma. Personally not my favorite but did find it tastes much better when served with a splash of milk
tastes really smokey and so much like a campfire haha, it s definitely comforting and savory!
Very smoky! Not an every day tea for me. Would probably benefit from mixing with another fall tea.
I wanted to like this tea so bad but it smelled and tasted like walking into a Joann Fabrics. Somehow too sweet and too spicy/smoky - I didn’t brew it particularly strong but the smell was powerful and frankly unpleasant.
Like Type O, Djarum blacks & witchcraft—some things retro & ancient call out from a past life. Might as well brew this in a cauldron & break out your tai chi saber. Love this viper brew!
Oh my goodness, if you like serious, acidic smoke, go for it. If not, steer clear. Reminiscent of the Father's Day CommuniTEA that got so many thumbs down. Couldn't bare it- down the drain. I even brewed it less time than recommended, but no go. And I even like smoky whisky!
This is the most unusual tea. I enjoy it a lot but I couldn t drink cup after cup at once. I ve never had a smokey tea before now. It s surprising.
Tastes like a campfire--sweet, smoky, and perfect for fall!
I like the mild spiciness and toasty taste to this tea. Drinking this in cold morning feels pretty good.
Smells like the campfire of a fall evening with friends and tastes fantastic. The smokiness is matched by the sweet spices beautifully. It was delivered today and i ve already ordered more.
Reminds me of an autumn walk in a forest, a very earthy tea. Could have used a stronger spice flavor
This is a fantastic herbal tea. I don t even miss the tea, and I m ordinarily a big black tea and nothing else person.
My new favorite herbal tea! I love the flavor and it really does taste a bit like fall to me.
UPDATE: Even though I personally didn't like this tee (see below), I am giving it more points due to the fact that it is my boyfriend's favorite tea! He takes it with come cream and sugar, which he says compliments the spices well.
I was quite disappointed with this tea. The sweetness I was expecting from the honeybush,, apple pieces, and orange peel was completely overwhelmed by a spice I can't quite place, possibly the peppercorn. It tastes like a bonfire candle smells; way to smokey for me.
The spice was ok in this tea. Definitely a fall or winter tea. I wish the flavor was a bit stronger
This is a nice, spicy tea - great for winter and fall!
I'll be honest, when I opened the bag and took a first sniff, I thought there was no way I was going to be able to drink this. The smokey aroma was very powerful. After a few cups, however, it really grew on me. I think I would order again. I would suggest getting a sample size to try it yourself before diving in for a full bag.
I did not like this tea at all I did not even like the smell of it
A very enjoyable tea. My wife enjoys this tea, good for those that like more herbal/spice oriented flavors.
Slightly smoky with a mellow tea flavor. It's not as complex as the ingredient list would indicate.
Easily a favorite. Perfectly spiced and is very reminiscent of its namesake.
The smoke taste overwhelmed all the other flavors.
Nope. I just couldn't do it. The smell was smoky and intriguing, but I could only taste the smoke in the actual tea. Definitely not a fave.
This is a good blend of well-rounded flavors. Very relaxing to sip and enjoy.
Makes me feel like I am sitting at a bonfire! I miss summer
I'm not a fan of lapsang souchong; however it works with this blend. The smell is smoky and inviting. I wish it was available year 'round.
perfect for the fall! a bit smoky but with some bright notes, too.
Bonfire definitely stays true to its namesake. It's the kind of tea that gives you the sense a being around a morning campfire with friends as you relax. That has a spice to it but also comforting aroma and flavor.
As a side note, it also makes for good dirty tea. Adding that extra bit of flavor to make bad coffees taste really good.
Well, it definitely tastes like a bonfire, so if that is what you want then this is your tea. I sent some to a friend and because she LOVED it I decided to get a sample for myself...Yeah not so much love from me. Lapsang Souchong is just not my thing.
Update: Ok, forget what I said, This one grew on me and I ended up buying a whole lb of the leftover stock of this. it really is fall in a cup.
This tea is definitely more orange-forward than I anticipated, but I still enjoyed the flavors reminiscent of late autumn. Taken plain with no sweetener
I just discovered my new favorite tea. And I'm very picky on what I like. Bonfire is nothing short of a beautiful cup of tea. I can't even explain how much admiration I have for it. Please buy a sample so you can try this magical tea.
A warm and smokey blend. Love the taste of it and it works as a morning tea.
It is very similar to its name sake as it is a very tasty smoky flavour that will remind you of a campfire
Nooooooooope. This is one of only a handful of teas I ve ever hated so much I just turned it out in the sink. It s too smokey. It tastes less like a bonfire feels and more like a bonfire tastes when you re standing downwind and take a big breath.
This is one of my absolute favorites. Such a great taste! I love getting a big bag to keep around all year long.
