I’m not a big fan of cinnamon, but I liked it. Not sure about the tension taming attributes though, I guess I’ll have to drink it again tomorrow and see if it does the trick.
I love to turn to this tea in the fall. It just goes well with spice cakes and the brilliant colors of the turning leaves. The exotic mandarin orange flavor in a hot tea is just what I need to put a little warm back into the shortening days.
The cinnamon gives the tea a nice flavor. I drink it on the rare occasions that I feel the need for a stronger-than-usual caffeine kick in the morning. Smooth, tasty, and a little extra “zing”.
I’ve tried brewing this tea at various temperatures, and I never taste any pear notes; the only thing I’ve ever gotten is vanilla, and that note is fairly weak. Disappointingly woody tea.
Cooling and calming down with some pep-o-mint tonight. Early morning tomorrow to cheer the spouse through a half marathon. Gonna need some strong black tea at 5 a.m. …
