Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice Loose-Leaf Black Tea, 7 oz Tin — Bold Cinnamon & Orange

Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice is a bold loose-leaf black tea blended with three kinds of cinnamon, orange peel, and cloves for a warming, spiced-citrus cup.

This 7-ounce decorative tin contains Harney & Sons' most-requested flavored blend, built on a base of China black teas. The recipe layers bright orange peel and sweet cloves over multiple cinnamon varieties to produce a clear, aromatic infusion that works well plain, with a touch of sweetener, or in milk-based preparations. Packaged by a family-owned company that sources quality ingredients worldwide, this loose-leaf selection yields roughly 55–70 cups depending on strength and steeping method.

What flavor profile can I expect from Hot Cinnamon Spice?

The blend emphasizes warm, spicy cinnamon notes first, followed by a lively citrus brightness and a subtle sweet-clove finish. The China black tea base contributes a medium body and a clean, brisk background that carries the spices without overpowering them.

• Primary taste: bold cinnamon layers (three cinnamon types)
• Supporting notes: zesty orange peel
• Finish: gentle sweetness from cloves
• Mouthfeel: medium-bodied, brisk black tea base

How should I brew this loose-leaf tea for the best flavor?

For a balanced cup, use fresh water just off the boil and steep the tea for 3–5 minutes—shorter for a lighter sip, longer for more spice intensity. Measure roughly 1 teaspoon per 8-ounce cup, or increase to 1.25–1.5 teaspoons for a stronger brew.

• Water temp: 200–212°F (just off boil)
• Leaf amount: ~1 tsp per 8 oz (adjust to taste)
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes
• Optional: sweeten or add milk to round the spice

• Yield: about 55–70 cups per 7 oz tin
