One of my school thermos teas today. Not much black tea character was discernible but it did have a good body. Here and there, fleeting hints of butter and orange emerged. I wish I could tell if the herbs and spices were a good blend but the artificial cinnamon flavor overwhelmed my senses.

True to it’s name, the tea was (lightly) Sweet and Spicy. Compared to the caffeine-free version and the Good Night blend, the artificial cinnamon flavor wasn’t as strong, which I appreciated. That could be due the age of the bag, though. One thing this tea did have going for it besides the body was it couldn’t be oversteeped, sitting in 205F water for an hour, nor did it have a dry finish like the Good Night.

Not something I’d buy but I can see it appealing to fans of cinnamon teas.

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
