Cinnamon Apple Spice

I suppose this is my lesson never to drink apple-flavored tea anymore…and to be cautious of cinnamon. The sickeningly sweet fake-apple taste is strong in this one, bought a box years ago, and I’ve only recently dug it out of the back of my cupboard for a redemption round.

There’s no getting past the cinnamon in this tea when made with water! However I think the best way to enjoy this tea is to make it with milk and not with water. The cinnamon becomes more subdued and the flavour becomes deliciously close to an apple cinnamon oatmeal. Try it with some caramel ice cream syrup and it becomes similar to a caramel apple pie!

Steeped for 5 minutes, with either 2 packets of raw sugar or two tsp of caramel syrup and always made with milk as oppose to water

It is good for colds. It has a nice taste, and I like the cinnamon. I mainly smell the cinnamon.

This tea is extremely strong in both scent and taste… and perhaps shouldn’t even be considered your typical tea. I brewed a cup of this at a friend’s place, not expecting too much from it at first. As is typical with opening a box of tea, I expected a nice smell, thought nothing of it at first. Then I poured hot water over it. As the steam wafted from my cup, I was surprised by the strong spicy scent in the air, as well as my neighbor sitting beside me. It smelled so amazing, that I had to lean over and take some deep whiffs; wonderful! It smells stronger than a warm apple cider. With a bit of sugar in this tea, it tastes similar to that—a cider… but not quite as heavy with sugar— when brewed in the aforementioned manner, it gives you a wonderful balance of taste and light sweetness. I’m going to buy a box or two for myself the moment I see this when I go out next. Best thing I have ever drank (even outside of the range of teas) maybe… but that’s just my opinion. :³

If you dislike cinnamon, run away! It tastes a little like cinnamon potpourri, but you can, in fact, taste the apple sweetness, especially if you let it brew for a looooong time. Adding some warm apple juice to the cup sounds like it would make it delicious.

I can certainly agree with the other reviewers who say that this tea is nearly a liquid version of Big Red gum. It tastes even worse when cold (or left to steep for too long), so drink it quickly!

I quite enjoyed this tea because of it’s aroma and because I didn’t need to add any sugar. All I added was two spoons of milk and it lessened overbearing taste of cinnamon. I wish it had more of an apple taste to it and wished that the cinnamon wasn’t so strong, but for the price, it’s not so bad and is actually quite alright. Perfect tea for the winter holidays!

Love Love this tea it makes me think of fall

I wish I had read the reviews before I impulsively bought this in the grocery store. Lesson learned. I gagged a little when I took a sip. It’s nice and fruity to start but then it’s a cinnamon metal-concert-scale takeover and that’s all you taste. I like cinnamon, but I prefer it to be balanced. Not a Big Red kinda gal, not a cinnamon apple tea kinda gal either. Maybe I’ll try steeping this in hot apple juice.

I love spiced teas! This one reminds me of a cinnamon apple cider my aunt makes around Christmastime. The cinnamon almost overpowers the apple flavor, but it certainly doesn’t mask it. I find that I usually taste the apple or the cinnamon – whichever I am in the mood for. That’s how flavorful this tea is, and the chicory and chamomile help give the tea weight. A very delightful tea that I enjoy drinking in the afternoons.
