Taster’s Review:

There are a lot of cinnamon-orange teas out there, but really, it doesn’t get any better than this.  I tried MarketSpice Tea several years ago when a friend from Seattle sent me some.  I fell in love with it.  Since that time, I’ve tried many cinnamon-orange teas, but all have fallen shy of the mark – that high standard that this tea set for me.

When it comes to this tea, most people either love it or hate it.  I guess it’s pretty obvious which side of the spectrum I’m on, right?  And honestly, when I get analytical about this tea, I really shouldn’t like it.  But I do.  Somehow, this tea is just… fantastic.

But I really shouldn’t like it.  It is very strongly flavored.  So strongly flavored, in fact, that when I first opened my pouch, I could see the moisture on the leaves from the flavoring.  The spicy-hot cinnamon here nearly overpowers everything else.

That being said, I still love it.  It’s like liquefied red hot candies with a splash of orange.   This tea makes me giddy with excitement and brings out the kid in me.

As I said before, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

  1. You’re welcome, Lacey. This tea has been a long time favorite of mine, ever since I received some from a good friend from Seattle. I fell in love with it instantly, and have missed it when I ran out… and so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to have some more and write about it! It’s really a great tea.
