Sipdown! This sample came with my last order from Teavana. I may not like them, but I do like their tins, and when I can get them inexpensively (i.e. their Cyber Monday deal of free tin, free sample, and free shipping with all orders) I do tend to snap them up.
I already knew I was in for some Red Hots flavor because of previous experience with their chai blends, and the fact that I have had both these teas in my cupboard before. But this? Wow. I have a horrible sweet tooth, but that being said, this too sweet even for me!
This is like drinking hard candy, and while it may be nice and warm on a cold morning, it’s just too artificial and insanely sweet to handle.

Do you find the tea itself too sweet or was the sample overly sweet because Teavana insists on loading it up with rock sugar? I know I have had this tea and if you steep it just a little too long the cinnamon can get cloyingly sweet. Stupid finicky teas!
I find the tea itself too sweet, which was disappointing as I love cinnamon. I can’t believe they load their samples with sugar!
I can’t tell – they don"t give you the opportunity to try it without!
When I tried this in store, I really liked it. I also really liked it the first time I made it at home. Then I made it a second time and dumped it out because it was so cloying. Now I am so unmotivated to drink it because anything that unreliable is not worth the time.
