I have only tried tea twice my entire life! I had no interest until now lol. So does it have carbs? Does it have caffeine? thanks!

Do you normally drink sweet tea or sweetened tea? According to my niece, there is definitely a difference! I don't want to make a recommendation without knowing!

Hmm, I am from the south, so I am a sweet tea girl. Not sure what sweetened tea is. What's the difference? Anyway, just finished my cup for the morning, and yum, yum, yum. Makes me happy each morning. And LOVE reading how many of you are enjoying it too.

Trying to get off of bottled ice tea and soda with aspartame. Going through homemade iced tea like crazy. I tried the blueberry green and the flavor is good and strong. I have not tried the cinnamon yet but I'm hoping it tastes like some bottled HonestTea I had years ago and never found again.
Another tea that has been helping is Yogi Sweet Tangerine Energy Tea which had as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Mine arrived just as I was leaving for the Florida house and I left it behind. The trip has turned into a longer stay than I expected so wish I'd brought it along.

According to my niece, sweetened tea has the tea added as part of the preparation of the tea. She will not drink tea that was made as unsweetened and add sugar before she drinks it. She has walked two miles to drink real sweet tea!!

I agree with her for sure.

Eureka!! I went to our local tea room today for lunch and they had this Harney Hot Cinnamon Spice tea. The additional flavors sounded right, but it wasn't the same tin or even the exact same name. So I did what any good pea would do ... I went outside and called Harney directly. I asked the nice lady who answered if this tea was the exact same as that tea, and she said, "Indeed it is." So I brought it home and now I'm drinking it, and it is just as mysteriously sweet and delicious as everyone says. I tend to only drink unflavored black teas, but this will be nice for an occasional change of pace. Really, no sugar required!

OMGosh, this is so amazingly good. And for those like me who think sugar in tea is an abomination, it's not sweet at all, just super, super cinnamony. I loved it and will be buying more.

Thank you so much, Patter, for sharing Hot Cinnamon Spice tea with all the Peas. I made the tea in the nuker (no staple attaching the string to the bag) and let it steep then threw ice cubes into it.

You are so welcome. I am having my morning cup right now. I finally feel like a "big girl" as I have never had a warm cup of anything when I wake up my entire life. LOL! And speaking of the little string and no staple, I think the tags are so cute. Saving one to put on the photo I took of the tin to go in my scrapbook. Yep, I am weird.

I bought the blueberry green tea. It smells really good. Like grape kool aid according to my kids. The flavor is ok. I'm going to mix it with peach or lemon. I plan to order the cherry blossom soon. Target doesn't sell that one. I plan to get the cinnamon one when the weather is colder.

My current favorite is China Mist Fiesta Fria for unsweetened iced tea. It's the same tea Panda Express serves as their house blend flavored iced tea. I found out you can order it by the case, and I drink it all the time now. You are my new hero! I sometimes go there just because I like the tea! Heads up to those who are specifically trying to avoid sugar - some brands put sugar into some of their teas. Davids and Teavana seem particularly bad about it. I've not run into a problem with Harney & Sons. But just a reminder to double check if it matters to you.

Thanks for sharing this... I was not a tea drinker but now I am!!! I did not find the one you recommended at the store. I took a chance and bought Bigelow steep sweet cinnamon tea. I LOVE it. Wow. I just had it at room temperature. Now I am making another and going to add Ice. It is a whole new world. went to the website...no carbs/calories (I had to make sure because it tasted so good). Now I am on the search for other flavors. I plan to cut back on my diet dr pepper

I just ordered a 2nd tin of the Cinnamon tea to take to the FL place while I'm there working. Plus I got a tin of the Blueberry Green for my blueberry loving Hubs. Has anyone mentioned it's the BEST TEA EVER? ETA: Will drinking a lot of tea help me lose weight? Because I've been doing that. Drinking lots of tea that is.

Yep, BEST TEA EVER! Oh, and one of the benefits of black tea is lowering bad cholesterol so I do love that. The weight loss thing could be good too as I am now skipping my sweet tea!

I am late to the game but I remembered to look for the tea today. For New England peas, I found it at Hannaford. First, I love the color of the little cannister and then I opened it! The aroma is magical! Right away my 7 year old was like Oh it smells like Fall or the Holidays. I have not made it yet but I will later on, can't wait.

When I was at Walmart I remembered to look for the Pea "koolaid." I made some today in my Pioneer Woman tea pot (can we say Pea influence?). I was shocked at how sweet it is...and it's wonderful over ice! One of my stepsons LOVES sweet tea but doesn't want to drink it because of the sugar so I texted him and told him about this and he stopped by and tasted it. I gave him a couple sachets to take home. I really enjoyed it for a change from my water.

Just coming back to this thread to say that this cinnamon tea has been my gateway tea. I've always enjoyed an occasional cup of tea but this cinnamon tea got me hooked. After trying this one, I also tried Harney and Sons' green tea with coconut which I loved...very full flavor. So I checked out their website and found all kinds of interesting things. I put in an order and received it last week. So far I have tried their Wedding tea, black current tea and chia tea, all good. I also ordered their Green tea cinnamon spice so I will be trying that soon as well. Finding these teas has really helped me break my diet Mountain Dew habit. Thanks Patter !

This has helped me bread my sweet tea habit. I used to get a sweet tea when we went out to dinner but no more. I love this stuff. I am interested in their green cinnamon spice and their green coconut. Maybe I should try those.
