Sweet Cinnamon Tea

One of the oldest known spices, cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka where it thrives in the hot moist climate. Cinnamon is naturally sweet with a delightfully spicy fragrance due to the essential oils found in its bark.

Cassia is closely related to cinnamon and was originally found in Burma but is now cultivated extensively throughout southern China and Indonesia. Like cinnamon, cassia comes from the bark of an evergreen laurel tree and has a flavor both sweet and aromatic.

To create our Sweet Cinnamon tea we've combined the finest cinnamon from Sri Lanka with top quality Indonesian cassia and then blended them with smooth Chinese black teas. The resulting tea is a spicy delight with an irresistible aroma that will entice people in the next room to come in and ask you what you're drinking.

Sweet Cinnamon tea makes a great after dinner beverage and goes well with fruit and pastries. Brew a big pot and the wonderful aroma will make your home seem warmer on even the chilliest night.
