“Thanks Moraiwe! This is delicious! It reminds me of red hot candies. It’s subtle though. It’s sweet and cinnamony. But not hot cinnamony. I reeeaaaalllyyyy like this one.” Read full tasting note
Red hot cinnamon, sweet juicy orange and delicate white tea combine to form a red hot orange white cuppa that’s as satisfying as it is aromatic. Indulge your senses with this week’s tea of the week.

I am enjoying the fragrance of this tea … I could probably just sit here and smell it all evening and not tire of it. It smells warm and cozy, and that’s just what I need on a night like tonight, it’s cold and wet outside, and I feel like I can’t shake that cold feeling from my bones. I’m hoping that this will warm me up.
And it is doing that. This is good … the citrus is bright and juicy and the cinnamon is not overwhelming. The white tea tastes a bit different than I expected, it is more earthy than I’m used to from a white tea. Perhaps it is this combination of flavors that brings out the earthiness.
I like this – it’s good, but it isn’t great. I think I can toy around with it though, and make it great. I think that the spices need a little more dimension.
I’m surprised nobody has said anything about this one. It’s not cake, but it’s still good.
It smells really familiar, but I can’t figure out if it’s invoking the chai that I had to smell way too long 2 hours ago, or if it’s something from further in the past. The cinnamon does make it sort of chai-like but easier to drink than a chai.
It’s very nice, and since I have the stupid fake sweeteners in my throat again from my nasal spray, it’s a great sweet and spicy combination along with the orange. It’s a light flavor, since it’s a white tea, so it’s very smooth and I can’t believe I’ve already nearly finished the cup.
That made me lol “its not cake but its still good”
:)
Every other tea in the package was cake related, it was a huge showing of self control that I tried this one first lol
LOL no dount!! I don’t know how you did it!
Lol! Youngest always says, “It’s good, but it isn’t Taco Bell!”
I was just thinking that this tea sounded good… I usually dislike citrus in tea, but after Breakfast Smoothie Honeybush, I’m wondering if Frank is able to do it right…
Backlogging -
Hmmm.Not sure how much I like this one. I think I’m going to have to try it again before I review it.
It smells very orangey, citrusy, cinnamony (like candy cinnamon, though). The taste is pretty much the same, except I’m getting a strange cleaning product note – it’s like orange dusting spray, or something. Gonna try brewing for less time, and maybe leave this one out for a bit to even out the flavors. Rating and real judgement reserved for later tasting.
UPDATE: I’ve left this one out for about a day, so I’m hoping to try this again and do a proper review.
This tea hasn’t gotten as much love as the other more recent 52teas blends. :(
Yes, I know… it’s kind of “common” in comparison to the other, more unusual blends. I think I am going to have to retry it after my cold/flu/whatever this is has passed, it could be that my taste buds were a bit altered last night although I think I was feeling alright. But to be fair, I’ll give it another try without adding the other spices once my taste buds have returned.
