My friends, the aroma that's coming from this tea tin is mesmerizing and intoxicating. That cinnamon! Mmmmm. Such a cozy aroma. I carried this tea to work with me since it's sachets...easier, more portable. My coworkers probably think something is wrong with me because I keep opening the tin and sniffing the tea! They're not "tea people", they would never understand!
I got a full size tin of this lovely tea from Parliament Tea. I can do cinnamon teas year-round, but this was just so perfect for the holidays and even better during this cold snap we're having. Orange, cinnamon...always makes me think of mulling spices and wassail and apple cider; all Holiday and Winter staples.
This black tea blend brewed up beautifully with just the right combination of ingredients. The aroma of the cinnamon was very up-front straight from the tin, but not overpowering once brewed. The little bits of dried orange gave it just the right balance of a citrus zing and the tiny bit of bitter that I love from orange peel. I don't usually add milk (almond milk) to citrus blends, but I decided to do just that with a little honey. Amazing! Orange and spice are so wonderful and warm together!
While I'm enjoying SEVERAL more cups from my extra large sample (and sharing with coworkers!), y'all pop on over to their Instagram page and browse around the super fresh blends.
