Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice Rooibos Tea — 4 oz Tin, Caffeine-Free Triple-Cinnamon Blend

This 4 oz tin delivers Harney & Sons' take on the popular Hot Cinnamon Spice profile, reformulated without black tea so you can enjoy full cinnamon flavor without caffeine. The blend uses rooibos (red bush) as the base and layers in three distinct cinnamon varieties to create depth and natural sweetness—no added sugar or sweeteners. It works well brewed hot or chilled into an iced cinnamon tisane.

What makes this rooibos cinnamon blend different from the classic Hot Cinnamon Spice?

Instead of a black tea base, this version uses South African rooibos, which is naturally caffeine free and offers a mild, slightly nutty body that carries cinnamon notes without bitterness. Harney & Sons blends three types of cinnamon to produce a more rounded, spicy-sweet profile than single-cinnamon recipes.

• Rooibos (red bush) base provides a smooth, moderate body.
• Three cinnamon varieties layered for complexity and natural sweetness.
• No added sugar or artificial sweeteners; sweetness is from cinnamon.
• Available in a 4 oz tin suitable for home or travel use.

How should I brew this tea to get the best cinnamon flavor?

For a robust cup, steep one teaspoon per 8 oz of water at just-below-boiling temperature for 4–6 minutes; rooibos tolerates a longer steep than delicate greens. If you prefer iced, make a double-strength hot brew, cool it, then pour over ice for a chilled, full-flavored infusion.

• Hot: 1 tsp per 8 oz, 200–212°F, 4–6 minutes.
• Iced: brew double strength, cool, serve over ice.
• Adjust steep time to taste for milder or stronger spice.
• Use filtered water for the cleanest flavor profile.

What sensory notes and body can I expect from the cup?

The tea shows a moderate body typical of herbal tisanes, with pronounced cinnamon spice balanced by rooibos’ natural sweetness and a faintly nutty undertone. The aroma is warm and spicy, and the finish is smooth without lingering astringency because there’s no black tea tannin.

• Aroma: warm cinnamon and sweet spice.
• Taste: layered cinnamon, natural sweetness from rooibos.
• Body: moderate, smooth finish with no bitter aftertaste.
• Versatile: pleasant both hot and chilled.

How is this package suited for storage and gifting?

The 4 oz tin is compact and airtight, keeping the blend protected from light and humidity for everyday use or travel. Its familiar Harney & Sons presentation also makes it an inviting choice for tea lovers as a small gift or stocking-stuffer.

• 4 oz tin shields tea from light and moisture.
• Compact size fits kitchen shelves and travel bags.
• Branded packaging suitable for gifting or samplers.
• Loosely packed leaves allow easy scooping and measuring.
