Thanks to @patter I'm addicted to Hot Cinnamon Sunset! Just wonder if this one is good? |

What store did you see the tea? I bought the cinnamon sunset tea from Walmart and it's delicious! I did hear to NOT try the chocolate mint one.  |

I was at Target- they had the most variety that I've seen- about 6-7 different flavors. I tried a chocolate but it wasn't mint- was horrible. I thought the pumpkin one might have enough cinnamon to be good. |

Yes and I don't like it. It's rooibos which tastes like dirt to me. I have an unopened tin waiting for the tea swap.

It's not traditional black tea it's an African bush tea also known as red tea.

Glad you are loving the cinnamon. The chocolate mint is yuck! I have never tried the pumpkin. It wouldn’t be a flavor I would enjoy as I don’t care for pumpkin usually. I know shocking.  |

I'm so happy to hear that the Hot Cinnamon Sunset is well liked. I put it in a gift basket that's being auctioned off at work this week. I have the chocolate mint and I agree that it is yuck. It's definitely a regretful purchase. I do like Hot Cinnamon Spice and the Paris tea that I ordered, but I learned my lesson not to buy large quantities until I've tried it first.

I too am addicted to the cinnamon. Yum! Thanks Patter!
I've since tried a few of their other flavors:
Chocolate: Seriously yuck
Vanilla: Yuck - in the tin it smells delicious but alas, it's not.
Pumpkin Spice: Yuck
Cranberry: Meh

It's an herbal from Africa, also called red tea. I won't drink it, either. Thanks for saving me a shopping trip, peaname . ETA jinx. or something. |

It's my favorite and I have all of the cinnamon ones. I wish I had a few more of the pumpkin spice because I'm loving it so much! Try it - it's great. Is it sweet like Hot Cinnamon Sunset? |

Pumpkin Spice: Yuck Cranberry: Meh Glad you like it. And I am scared to try any other flavors at this point because nothing seems to compare to the AMAZING cinnamon. Having my morning cup right now. |

I'm another one who loves the cinnamon. I wonder if the base tea on the pumpkin is black tea? Off to check.
Update: Base is red. That's a no

I've made this mistake twice--with Trader Joe's and Harney's pumpkin teas which are both rooibos based--which I dislike. I passed mine on to DS's. I just saw a black tea based pumpkin somewhere but I can't remember where or the brand. How's that for helpful? 😂 |

I found my perfect tea - Hot Cinnamon Sunset and after a disastrous attempt with the Chocolate Mint (threw it away), am not going anywhere else! If Harney's made a sampler pack, I might try that, but it's too expensive to try a new one again.

Yes I've bought both the cinnamon and pumpkin teas thanks to this board and drink them at work when I need some caffeine. The pumpkin one is popular with my co-workers too. The cinnamon is a bit overpowering for me so I prefer the pumpkin one.

The cinnamon is a bit overpowering for me so I prefer the pumpkin one. See, I don’t think the cinnamon is powerful enough for me. I am now steeping it for 7 minutes to make it stronger. I think I must be getting really used to it because I drink it every morning. |

I thought the pumpkin one might have enough cinnamon to be good. IMO chocolate & tea do not mix. Waste of both good chocolate & good tea. I guess someone somewhere must like it as companies keep making it but to me it’s just blech OP sorry I have not tried their pumpkin spice tea |

I also love the Hot Cinnamon Sunset. Since trying that, I have also tried:
Wedding Tea-it's o.k. but a little too floral for me. I'll finish what I have but likely won't order more.
Oolong with Ginger - I really like this one...nice soothing cup of tea.
Green tea with cinnamon - I like this slightly better than the regular cinnamon but I tend to like green tea in general so that's not that surprising.
Black Currant - Another one that I really like and I don't generally like fruit teas. This one is not overly fruity, I guess.
Green Tea with coconut - I really like this one...very robust, full, somehow round taste (I'm not sure how a flavor can be round but when ever I think of how to describe this tea, the word "round" pops into my head.
Chai - Good chai, if you like chai. I'm interested in their green chai but haven't tried it yet
I have ordered but haven't tried yet: Ginger Liquorice and Tropical Green.

oooooh. I am not a fan of green teas (too raw tasting for me) but I love oolong and I love ginger. I will have to try that ginger oolong ... thanks, dulcemama! |

I seem to be a loner. I hated the Hot Cinnamon Sunset. It was too sweet and left a bad after taste so I passed it on to my mom. I love the chocolate mint.

I think you are the first person that has liked the chocolate mint. I love sweet so the cinnamon is right up my alley. Glad you found one you love! |

I don't like sweet tea at all. I never add sugar and only like honey in it when I am sick. |

I like the chocolate mint too so I'm in the pea minority with Tamhugh. However, DD has asked me to lay off the chocolate mint and cinnamon to try several other flavors based on their tin color. She propagates her succulents and plants them in my empty Harneys tins. Apparently there are too many brown and orange tins lining her window 😂. |
