Brew yourself a pot and we’re sure the spicy aroma of cinnamon combined with our tea’s pleasant astringency will magically have you calling us for more! We only use teas from the top 3 tea growing regions al Sri Lanka – Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. These high-grown districts produce teas that have classic ‘Ceylon’ tea character, noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of astringency, and bright coppery color.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
Cinnamon is one of the most commonly used spices in the world. Throughout history, it has been revered by many cultures in different time periods. The ancient Egyptians burned the spice during funerals and believed it’s smoke helped carry the spirits of the dead to the afterworld. Later on, during European world exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, cinnamon becomes one of the most sought after commodities of explorers. It was during those years that a belief grew in the ability of the scent of cinnamon to magically attract customers to a place of business. Perfect as the base of our flavored teas (We tested teas from various other origins around the world as a base for our flavored teas, but none made the grade). Flavoring oils, not artificial crystals, give the tea drinker high-quality tea that tastes great.

If you love cinnamon

sweetness and spicy hit as a handful of cinnamon hearts. Love this tea!

It’s been hard to find such loose leaf tea in the uk. Really enjoying my cinnamon tea.

I love this tea, it has a fantastic and unique flavor. But you do need to make sure not too steep too long, and I think the ideal time is shorter than other teas (maybe 2 minutes?). This tea is good on its own or in a hot toddy.

This a very nice cinnamon tea – not too overwhelming, but a naturally sweet and spicy cup of smooth high quality tea. Some cinnamon tea is so strong with cinnamon it makes me cough, but this is not like that. I’ve also tried a famous Seattle brand of cinnamon tea that smelled wonderful but tasted musty or moldy. I’ve been looking for something that tastes sweet and that I will want to drink without milk and sugar so that I’m actually getting the health benefit of black tea. This is it! I’ve already purchased it a second time.

This is by far my favorite tea flavor of all time. If you steep it according to their instructions, you get a full, rich cup of tea that reminds you of fall and the holidays and is comforting any time of the year. I love the spices without it being sharp or overpowering. It’s so well-balanced–never tannic like some teas can be.
Mrs L Nurse –
So thrilled to find this flavor in loose leaf. Has an intense cinnamon flavor – absolutely delicious!
Tara –
This is my favorite cold weather tea! The cinnamon flavor is nice and strong, and the other spices add depth. I love to steep this with a little sugar and then add a splash of creamer for a decadent cup of tea. I love Oxtea teas, and this one is definitely a keeper!
S. Morton –
This is the best smelling tea on earth. It has a natural sweetness so no honey or sugar is needed. It’s just so tasty. My entire family adores it. So would definitely recommend!
Alison K. –
Wow. The best tea in the world. Pure comfort and this flavor brings me sweet serenity. A must buy, especially around the holidays.
Wriggles –
This tea is wonderful and unique, there is nothing out there quite like it. It is very strong and sweet (no need to add any sweetener). If you are a cinnamon fan, you must try this tea. Everyone I have recommended it to loves it. And everyone that walks by at work while I am drinking this tea pauses to ask what the lovely smell is. I really can’t recommend it enough.
denis –
Just the scent of this tea makes me think of the holidays. Everyone in my office loves this, so do my family members. This is true cinnamon, not some artificial flavor compound.
Thomas –
Simply the best cinnamon spice tea. It is redolent of cinnamon and has a natural sweetness that will let you skip adding sugar. It’s hot and spicy whether you drink it hot or iced.
Sarah Bell –
My favorite spice tea. I tend to brew it strong and the loose tea is great for controlling the quantity you brew. It would’t be the cool months without this tea.
Mrs T. –
Perfect tea for long, cold winters. Perfect blend of cinnamon and spice. Love it.
Mr R L Tancock –
