Strong cinnamon tastes. Burns in a bad way at the end. Didn’t finish. Advisory: best without milk. No milk recommended, but it may have helped r/t thickening the consistency and tone down the spice. The tea felt very thin. Tasted 12.2018

Flavors: Cinnamon, Spicy

Initially tasted thin with floral and spice flavors. Greatly improved with milk – gave it a much fuller flavor. Milk tempered the floral scent and taste. Really liked it – was sad when it was gone.
Recommends adding a dash of milk or mix with hot frothed milk for a lattea. Tasted 12.2018
