The spices in this tea are great. However the black tea flavor can be a little weak. I like to enjoy this by having one comfort and joy tea bag and one regular black tea bag in the same cup!
This is now my all-time winter favorite, but I had to experiment a bit in order to get there. I tend to try to stretch things when possible to save money and also increase hydration, so I use one tea bag in my 30 oz. thermos. Hats off to Republic of Tea for making their tea strong - there are other brands that I gave up on because their blends became so diluted. Not the case here! If I steep 5-6 minutes I get CLOVES, and none of the lovely nuance of the apple and cinnamon. I like to steep for 2 minutes, and if I really want a treat will add a packet of cider mix after steeping - SO good! Especially lovely when it is cold and snowy out.
The name says it all. This tea has a lovely flavor. I drink it all year long when I want that cozy feeling or happy feeling. It really helps my mood.
The best for these cold mornings.
A wonderful tea to enjoy either hot or cold. I love the blend of spices and wish it were available year-round, especially for those times when I forget to buy it during the holidays.
Love this tea. I add extra cloves for a bit more punch.
I’m glad I took a chance on this tea. It smells fantastic and it tastes even better. It is such a warming blend of spices.
I have been sipping this on repeat throughout the holiday season. Would definitely purchase again!
I purchased this for the first time ahead of the holidays and loved the tea! I shared with a friend and she enjoyed the tea as well. I’ll order again for next Christmas.
We buy several tins of this seasonal tea every year as soon as it comes out. It has a lovely flavor and feels cozy. The name is true to how we feel about this tea - Comfort and Joy! We try to make our stash last through spring and then look forward to it coming back again in late fall.
This is one of my favorite teas. I love the blend of the cloves, cinnamon and spices. I think this chai is better than their black chai tea and I recently purchased the decaf version of this tea so I could drink it at night.
The spice is a lot stronger in the smell than the taste. The spice lingers in the back a lot. It's sort of a wannabe chai, note necessarily bad, just telling it like it is. It's fine. (I rate all my teas out of 5 and this was a 3/5 for me = good.)
This tea is my favorite during the winter, and usually replaces my morning coffee. The tea has a good kick, the flavors are strong and balanced, and the warming herbs do a good job of pushing off the winter chills.
Usually offered seasonally, I order enough to get me through a year! One of your best blends!
We love this tea and wait every holiday season to stock up.
This tea has a wonderful fruity smell and flavor. I stock up on it in the fall and drink it all year long. It really is a comfort and joy to drink this tea.
Always a hit at this house! I feel comfort and joy when I drink it!
I bought this tea at World Market two weeks ago and it is wonderful! The smell and flavor give the perfect warm and toasty Christmas feeling. I told my husband, “You need to try this tea!” So he had a cup last night and was very surprised by how tasty it is. This morning I went back to the store and it was understandably sold out. So I ordered two more from Republic of Tea as gifts for family.
This is a great tea that tastes like the wonderful cider I used to drink at Christmas as a child.
Great holiday tea, bursting with flavor.
This tea is lovely and these little tins made the perfect gift for my coworkers!
I have been drinking Comfort and Joy for a couple of years now. It's like Christmas in a cup. I stock up so I can indulge in joy and delightful flavors it brings year round. Definitely a favorite.
I really like this one. I loaded up 500 bags of it so I'd have it for a while. Really nice sipping tea.
My husband and I are daily tea drinkers. A couple of years ago we tried Comfort and Joy. Since then we drink it throughout November, December, and January nearly every day! It is so very comforting on cold mornings and very tasty in the afternoons!
This is my all-time favorite tea. I love the spice combination.
Love this tea. Perfect for afternoon on a frosty day and any other day too!
I have been buying Comfort & Joy for a couple of years now. I love it so much I buy enough to last all year. I also buy extra cans to give away at Christmas to my friends.
I just placed my refill order for Comfort and Joy Black Tea. My first and original order was only recently received but it left no doubt that I had to have more of this holiday drink while still available. I did not find the caffeine bothersome but did find that it lives up to its name. It truly starts the moment the bag begins to steep and the holiday scent fills the air, especially as you start to sip it. Warming hands around the cup does bring comfort and the mild flavor of the cinnamon and cloves is a joy to the palate. Very delightful!
My favorite holiday tea!
A christmas season must have!
A little too strong on the caffeine. Otherwise it's good.
This is my absolute favorite Republic of Tea! Though it's typically only available during the holidays, I buy the larger set to keep me going all year.
I look forward to this beautiful blend every year!
My husband loves this tea and looks forward to it every Christmas season. I don't drink very much caffeine, but it smells amazing!
Love this tea, .....it's a big warm hug !
Delicious especially in cold weather.
Love this so much .. I buy enough to last me for a full year ??
Delicious
Very nice, tastes good to me unsweetened. I'm a half-caff coffee drinker, so this had the right amount of caffeine, and I liked the balance of tea versus non-tea flavors. Since it's seasonal, I decided to go ahead and get fifty bags.
My favorite tea!
Delicious tea??Some of the best I’ve ever had ??????
It’s a perfect blend of spices for the holidays or anytime. Comfort and joy is a perfect name for this tea. It’s one of my favorites.
This is one of my go-to black teas.
Comfort and Joy is my favorite tea. Period. Such warm spiced flavor. It is truly the perfect cup of tea.
Comfort and joy is about my favorite holiday tea. I love that there is a 50-bag refill.
This is by far my FAVORITE winter time tea. So thankful it comes back every year. It’s the perfect blend of winter spices. Aromatic and fragrant. It’s become a snow winter am tradition in our household.
The purchase is my Christmas gifts for this year. Thank you for making it convenient.
I like the tin so I can carry my tea with me.
I love to drink this tea every winter. Its blend embodies the perfect taste of Christmas.
My daughter has been drinking this tea for years. This is her one tea she always has in her collection.
One of my favorite blends! It’s my go to comfort tea.
I tried this for the first time recently, and from the moment I opened the tin, I knew it would become a favorite. It smells and tastes like Christmas in a cup (minus the over-sweet sugar shock or overpowering aroma that some other beverages have) Time to order more for me and for gifts!
I buy this every holiday season. It is not a super strong flavor, but pleasant and comforting.
I love this tea. The balance of spices is perfect! I wish it was available all year 'round.
This is my favorite Winter tea and I always run out before the cold does. So, I bought the BIG bag this year. Should last me in to March. Am limiting to one teabag per day. Yum.
This is really good tea. I love the spice to it. I love this little tin to carry it with me also
Tried this months holiday flavor...love the crisp spices!
I love this tea. I'll be drinking it all winter.
One of our newest favorite teas! A wonderful mix of spices for the holiday season! Add a bit of whisky for a hot tottie touch! New favorite
A perfect holiday tea. Just smelling it brings back memories of yesterday and all the Christmas excitement as a child. It's a smooth and delightful tea, too. I could drink it all year long
I buy this every year! I refill my Comfort and Joy tin as needed and drink this wonderful tea all winter. If you love this citrus spice tea combination, getting the big bag is the way to go!
Love this tea. Bought it last year and was happy to see it was back again this holiday season!
This tea says Christmas all the way. Love the blended spices and hint of apple. Would recommend.
We love this tea!! This tin is perfect for taking with us on trips so that we can enjoy this yummy tea even when we are away from home.
I’d been waiting to reorder the Comfort and Joy tea and am so happy it’s available again. I love that flavor during the winter months.
This is nice. It's not my favorite, but it is a nice change. I like to have different teas to give variety to my evening cup of tea.
I bought this for my best friend. I gave it to her last year, and she told me she has made it last all year. She was so sorry to have used her last one. This tea is Christmas!
Wonderful taste. Hint of cinnamon is a good surprise
While this is a very nice tea, the clove taste can seem to be a bit overpowering against the other flavors. It is a decent holiday flavor -- I just wish the other supporting flavors were a little bit stronger.
I have been enjoying this tea for years. I order a huge bag of it every year.
Love this blend, it's so smooth and tasty. Hate that it's only seasonal.
I was first introduced to Comfort and Joy last holiday season. The taste and fragrance really bring the holiday season home. When it becomes available, we purchase enough to get through the year until it becomes available again. Good Stuff!
I absolutely love this tea. I have purchased it in the Decaf, and now in the regular larger refill. Comfort & Joy is just wonderful all around! Great taste and the perfect blend of spices. I will be ordering more!
Republic of Tea has always provided me with good customer service and a great quality product, it's been a pleasure doing business with them...
This is a favorite morning tea in our household. We stock up with bulk bags while it’s in season so we can keep enjoying it after it’s gone. Too good to miss!
The licorice flavor is fairly pronounced, which I was disappointed by. Just a buyer beware for anyone who doesn't like licorice!
Yummy apple spice taste!
This is my favorite tea. I wish it was available all year round.
I buy this every year when it becomes available. I love the combination of spices, perfect to warm you up!
I have been buying Comfort and Joy in bulk for several years, it is my absolute favorite tea!
I look forward to this tea every year. It is a great afternoon treat on a cold day.
Delicious. I love this tea.
I cannot tell you how wonderful this tea is. Several years ago, we ordered several Christmas teas from various sources Comfort and Joy was the unanimous favourite. It is still. When I sit by the tree on Christmas morning with a cup, each sip fills me with just that: Comfort and Joy!
I'm always so happy when this is back in rotation and I can enjoy it during the colder winter months!
I buy Comfort and Joy tea and Ginger Peach. My family loves both but mostly Comfort and Joy.
It has a comfortable flavor and it made me joyful. :)
Order the Comfort and Joy traveler tea. Came so quickly and it's wonderful!
A delicious blend for the holidays
I only drink Republic of Tea now. It is good for the environment, and I enjoy different flavors for each season no strings or staples.
Wonderful holiday tea.
Bought this tea for 2 years. Love it!
I LOVE this tea - it combines flavors that are so satisfying! I eagerly await the time of you when it's available - it's a great launch to the holiday season!
Good tasting tea. While not my favorite, it does remind me of Christmas time flavors.
I drink this tea every day. I wish you carried it year-round.
My daughter bought me a tin of comfort and joy many years ago. I've been buying it ever since
Winter spices warm me up, no matter the season; rainy summer days to chilly winter nights.
they were all gifts but my daughter really loves them.
This is one of my favorite hot teas for Fall and Winter! It is great with a dash of honey and the flavors are so comforting when the tea brews and while you are drinking. It's a Republic of Tea standard order for me.
We are elect customers because of the quality, wide range of options, and speed of service.
I have enjoyed this tea for many years...
My favourite holiday tea!
Love love LOVE the teas from you!!????
Not a bad black tea when you want an elevated variety!
Comfort and Joy is a favorite of mine. It is available all year around, so I requested that they let me know when it was back in stock. Much to my surprise, the company notified me! I was thrilled. Thank you.
I buy this tea every year and it never disappoints.
The Comfort & Joy Black Tea is my go to favorite tea every Winter Season! I buy it every year around this time, Fall, because people are busy buying the pumpkin flavors. Once they sell out of Comfort & Joy Black, you won't be able to get it again until the following year. They sell out quickly so I stop up for the whole winter. Love, love this tea! It truly does bring Comfort from my youth and joy taking in all the familiar scents when sipping it. Happy Holidays All!
Love my Comfort and Joy! I wait for this every year and buy it in bulk!
This is my FAVORITE holiday tea, so much so that I purchase 3 bulk size bags every season so it’ll last all year long. I’m an iced tea drinker and this is absolutely wonderful cold.
I've been buying this tea since it came out. I hooked my grown kids on it and I make sure to buy early as it runs out fast. IMO, it's the BEST flavor for when the temps start to cool down and it's the tea I make when any of us is feeling under the weather. The cinnamon reminds me of the holidays and it makes me happy.
Not just for the holidays. I drink this year round and was upset when I found out it was seasonal and unavailable. Now I buy enough to have all year and give as gifts.
I’ve been buying this for about 3 years. The hardest thing is waiting for the Holidays before starting to drink. It just tastes like Christmas.
I have loved this tea for years. I drink it all year round
I like refilling my cans from the larger bags. Love the colorful tins and I love Winter watching the rain with a cup of Comfort and Joy - totally enjoyable.
Love it. Had to wait until this came back into season
Love the smooth flavor of comfort and joy. Wish it was available all year long!
Great customer service. I really enjoy the variety of teas
I make a fresh pitcher of iced tea every day. I love to add specialty tea bags to my regular black tea. It adds a nice flavor, like the spice from comfort and joy. I have used several of other flavors and have been very happy with the quality of their teas.
I stumbled on this tea while Christmas shopping last year and fell in love with it. When I ran out it wasn’t available so I got on the list to be reminded. The day I got the email it was available I ordered it. If you want a tea that makes you feel good… this is it!
I have been waiting for this tea to restock! Delicious
First tasted this tea in a gift tin of 50 bags composed of 10 flavors 5 bags each. Liked all of them this particular one was very good especially in cold weather. Unfortunately was unable to order a larger tin until now. Happy I put my name on waiting list.
I always get a bulk bag for my daughter's birthday, but now I have to get one for my wife, along with tins for the ladies in her bible study/weekly tea. They just can't get enough. They love the flavor.
I’ve been buying this delicious tea for several years. Gets me in the spirit for Fall and Winter. Love to sit down with a cozy cup each afternoon.
Bought this last year and could hardly wait for it to comeback. I shy away from those teas with too much cinnamon and Comfort & Joy is perfect. I gifted last year and I got so many compliments. This lifelong Tea drinker is truly Joyful. Thank you for bringing it back.
Very Christmas-y!
Nothing gets me into the holiday season like a Christmas tea, and I've had a lot of Christmas teas, and this is my favorite! A perfect balance of the spices. I cannot recommend enough!
I savor this tea for sipping in December. A perfect way to bring a festive touch to the tea routine. This tea tastes like Christmas!
My grocery store had a few of these on clearance after Christmas this year, so I picked it up. Delicious. Nice black tea with spices and orange, just like the package says. Now I'm buying more teas from this company because I liked this one so much!
This tea seriously lives up to its name. It smells like Christmas and tastes like a warm hug—spicy, citrusy, and just makes me feel good.
It has almost a citrusy flavor, which is pretty good. Not as smooth as some other black teas.
This tea along with the pumpkin spice tea are my two favorite seasonal teas. I buy it when it is in stock and then save it to drink in the summer for a little Christmas in July :) I drink this tea with a splash of whole milk or sweet cream.
This is my favorite tea ever! The flavor is strong enough with just one tea bag and the spices are perfectly balanced. I wish it was available year round. Make sure to stock up when it’s in season!
I've been a customer for years and this company never disappoints. Love the tins which keep my teas fresh and the refill bags which allow me to re-use the tins without paying for the tins again. Flavor options are creative and abundant.
I feel like it’s Christmas everyday when o drink a cup of Comfort and Joy tea.
I look forward to this tea every holiday season. I like to add a splash of cranberry juice and it's just a lovely cup of christmas cheer.
I originally bought Comfort & Joy for my husband for his new tea kettle for Christmas! He like it but I love, love comfort and joy!!! I just re-ordered 2 more 50 bag cans! I drink this hot and love it over ice. The flavor is rich and bold! I will use it to make up pictures if iced tea-so delicious!
I finally bought this tea a couple months ago, having had it on my wishlist for a while. I’d had a sample of it a few years ago. I usually bring out 2 non-RoT, Peppermint Bark, and Sip and Be Merry in mid-November and alternate between the now 5 through January. This will be a permanent addition to that holiday tea rotation.
got this in a holiday sampler and had to come back for more! a nice pleasant way to wake up on winter mornings.
So delicious: perfect amount of spiciness and comfort!
Perfect balance of cinnamon and apple.
Although this tea might be most popular during the Christmas/Hanukkah season, it's my favorite year-round. I love the sweet spiciness of it. Very similar to chai. (I like strong tea, so I use two teabags in almost all teas from Republic of Tea.)
The other reviewers were right! This is the best black tea for the holiday/winter season. So glad it came back in stock!
Comfort and Joy is our favorite tea! The taste of cloves and cinnamon add a nice start to the day! I make sure that I buy enough to last us all year long!
This was my favorite tea last winter. So glad it was back this Holiday season. It has the best blended flavors. I am stocking up.
This is my second purchase of Comfort and Joy. It has an incredible flavor, that warms my heart and soul.
We call this “Christmas Tea” in our house. We start drinking it in the fall and enjoy it through the holidays. It is the best!
Excellent balance. I fell in love with this tea instantly. It replaced a cup of my morning coffee.
Absolutely delightful! I highly recommend this tea, if Christmas had a flavor, it would be Comfort and Joy. Cozy up with a blanket, a cup of Comfort and Joy and watch your favorite Christmas movies with your loved ones. They got it right with the name for sure!
Another delicious holiday variety, I love the flavors of this one beyond the holiday season.
Such a good blend of spices & flavors, esp w/ the addition of licorice!
I really love this tea!! I can't pinpoint flavors but this is just a wonderful cup of tea and I enjoy it everytime I drink it. My go-to winter tea for warming up and my absoloute favorite of their holiday teas!
Best tea ever. The company is conscious about the environment and utilizes items from making tea bags for packaging. Well done!!
Never, ever, stop making this! My whole family loves it but my mom is obsessed. We stockpile it so she has enough year round
I take this tea with sliced lemon and the tartness of the lemon marries the flavors to perfection. I stock up for the year.
Best tea I have ever had. It has a warm, comforting feeling that leaves me satisfied and content. The blend of spices are delightful on the tongue and cozy in the tummy.
This has a very nice spice flavor, almost like a chai, and I was hoping for some apple sweetness to balance it out, but it was not there. I feel this needs something sweet to go with the spice for a good balance, and it does not have it. In fact the apple is so faint I'm not sure I can taste it at all. Likely I'm going to be adding sugar when I drink this tea, which I rarely do.
I love this tea. I order it in bulk and drink it year round. It's just perfect and smells and tastes so great. Reminds me of Christmas.
We've gotten this tea around the holidays for years now--always smells Christmas-y for us. Bought a giant bag to have it year round, but definitely gets the most use when it's chilly out.
Tired of the same old holiday tea doldrums? Welcome Comfort and Joy. I don't know where it comes from, but I get a really interesting sweet citrus flavor from this tea. Wish this was available all year.
An extra long steep, a tsp of local honey, a few moments of silence while sipping this tea, and I can face anything. It also makes an excellent iced tea made with a swirl of brown sugar. I'm buying it in bulk this year, because my "season" lasts all 12 months.
I had this tea years ago and loved it. It's been my go-to tea ever since. I usually buy a years' supply at a time.
I had a sample of this tea I brought home from a hotel stay. So glad I tried it! This has a deep rich pleasing blend of spices, so nice for cooler mornings and cooler days! Will buy extra next winter as it's not available now! This is my favorite when I'm in the mood for a strong, complex delightful tea!
I've been buying this tea for the last few Christmases and it's just perfect for a snowy winter day! It's got a warming and spicy aroma and flavor and the subtle licorice and apple accents are perfectly balanced. I don't think I'd know it had licorice in it just by tasting - which is good! It's not heavy handed on the anise flavor because I wouldn't enjoy that! Just the whole blend works perfectly together. I first discovered it when I got a free sample tea bag from Republic of Tea with another order and I was hooked! I make sure to buy mine at the beginning of the winter season or sometimes it sells out.
Although this is holiday season tea. I find it perfect all year round. Great for breakfast!!
Tried this in November after getting a sample packet – loved the holiday vibes! The mix of spices and fruit tasted like a festive party that got my holiday vibes going. Perfect for an afternoon pickup or a as light dessert tea, it adds a cool seasonal twist to my tea routine! Can't wait until it is available again.
I love this tea and the warm soothing spices in it. This is my "go to" tea every Holiday and I use it as my calming tea during crazy family get togethers. I stock up every year. The spices are the perfect blend and not too overwhelming. Just enough cinnamon to warm you and the black tea is just perfect, not too strong. Goes well with any snack or alone as a tasteful cup of tea.
This is my #2 favorite flavor from Republic of Tea. The spice isn't too strong; it truly does smell just like holiday spices. This tastes best with a teaspoon of sugar. Make sure to stock up when it goes on sale since it's a limited flavor.
Love this tea. I wish it came in refil bags
This tea is so flavorful I have to double my water. I mean, it really comes with a punch. And I say that as a good thing. My tin lasts twice as long since I am getting double the mug full. Highly recommend. So so good.
Just the right amount spices and flavorings that even those who do not like flavored tea but like just black tea, have told me that they prefer this.I love teas of all kinds. This is one of my favorites. The cinnamon has such a warming touch! I always want to have both hands wrapped around the mug and my face in the steam.
I love this seasonal Comfort and Joy tea! I always stock up for the year!
terrific! This black tea taste that keeps me going and is a flavor to enjoy all year-long not just for holiday's.
This tea has a bright and cheerful taste, perfect for a brisk midwinter afternoon. Enjoy it on its own, or with a sugar cookie or shortcake, and you will be delighted.
This is my favorite holiday tea! It's like the best fruitcake in a cup!
I love this tea!
True to the name, this tea brings Comfort and Joy!
This is great for awakening memories of Christmas' past. A nice warming tea due to the spice blend used.
Very tasty and light blend. Brightens the night after a grueling day.
This won me over at first try. I had to order 2 more tins as I read this is only a holiday offering. Then I received another tin for a gift. The cinnamon is so delicious. Must have this all year long. So good.
What can I say about Comfort and Joy! It makes me feel just like it sounds. I love sipping this tea on a cold winter morning while all wrapped up in a snuggie. So warm and comforting!
It's wonderful, so tasty and good for you as well!!
I was gifted this tea by a friend a couple weeks ago. The natural sweetness is perfect. For myself, I added a spoonful of apple butter and two of sugar, topping it off with milk. I have found my favorite drink.
I was unable to get this last year because it was sold out. I'm so happy to have it back.
I love this tea for the Christmas. It is warm and a good spice. It reminds me of Christmas. I enjoy it with a bit of milk and a couple of drops of Stevia.
This is a very flavorful and festive tea. I'm not a big fan of teas that are sweet on their own and this one is a bit sweet for me. Though for people who enjoy a sweeter tea without having to use sweeteners (natural or artificial) this would be a great option.
Everyone in the family enjoys this one. Some black teas are a bit bitter for my taste but this one is perfect
Only drink earlier in the day cause of caffeine but brings Christmas to mind.
This tastes like Christmas in a mug. Tried it for the first time last year, and my husband and I are enjoying it again this season. We love it!
This is my favorite, and it's seasonal, so I stock up in December!
Love the spices. Does not taste artificial.
I've ordered this tea before at Christmas time and wanted to purchase it again. Lovely blend of flavors, all the Christmas teas have been great that I have tried. The teabags are easy to use depending if you're making an individual cup of tea or more tea! That's one thing I like about the tea bags.
I have been buying this for my daughter for years, she moved out and brought a bulk bag with her. She loves it, but I had none to try. So I purchased a tin and it is my tea after a cup of coffee, tea in the morning. So tasty. Love it!
This is my favorite seasonal tea that I look forward to each year. This tea has the perfect blend of spices that tastes just like the holiday season. I'm not one to be able to pick out all the different spice flavors, but I know a fantastic tea when I taste one, and this tea is one of them!
Was it my favorite? No. But I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it despite hating licorice with a fiery passion. I bought 3 of the sample pillows to give family as gifts!
Such a nice holiday tea! I am enjoying both this one and the Cardamon Cinnamon as winter warmer teas. I'm glad I decided to purchase it!
I have loved Comfort and Joy since the first time I tried it! Every December I Purchase the largest quantity they sell to last me throughout the year. I enjoy it so very much!
Perfect blend of slices and warm flavors
Got this as a sample and it tastes like, Christmas in a mug!
My family just loves this tea. It feels like Christmas when it is brewed. One of my friends just had to smell in to be convinced to order some.
This tea is warmth and comfort in a cup. Such a perfect flavor for chilly weather.
3/5
This Comfort and Joy Peppermint Bark tea has been the best seasonal variety I have tried. I enjoy the minty sweetness. It is very soothing on a cold fall or winter day. I've given it as a gift and it has been very well received.
The cinnamon in this tea is abundant in this tea. A little too much for me.
I love this tea and buy enough to get me through the year because it's only available during holidays.
I purchased this for a gift, and received a sample with my order. It is a beautifully scented tea, easy to enjoy. It's a bit forward on the orange, but I really like it.
I am quite dissapointed. I have to use two bags to even taste it.
Definitely reminds me of the holidays. I wish the flavors were a little stronger, but still a great cup of holiday cheer!
Just a hint of everything that makes the holidays special. Simply delightful. I am tempted to drink it year round. Well done ROT..
This is truly one of my favorite Republic of Tea selections and I will be drinking it all year round! It has an orange spice flavor and is full-bodied, which I love since I prefer stronger flavored teas. The orange spice makes it the perfect flavor for the season! If you enjoy the combination of orange and spice, you won't be disappointed!
Nice flavor tea with a spicy aftertaste
Gave a sample away to my daughter and she raved how good it was. I bought this as a surprise and she was over the moon. "Great fall and winter tea."
I love this tea!! Wonderful holiday flavor. Subtle clove with cinnamon and a light sweetness from the licorice
I am planning to tuck one of these little holiday flavor traveler tins in with my home baked cookie gifts for neighbors and friends. Pretty sure it will be a hit.
This is my favorite holiday tea. I'm going to buy a bulk bag so I can have it all year.
Love the Comfort and Joy and try to order enough to last all year, as this is limited to the holiday season. I just ordered and between my husband and I, we have used half the can! Thank goodness I ordered a refill, but seems I will be ordering ALOT more before the end of the year.
This tea is nice is has black tea (my favorite kind of tea) plus hint of spice. With us currently being in fall and heading into winter, this tea almost speaks of nostalgia for the winter months. It's nice to have a cup while at work or just lounging. Would recommend
Comfort and joy is a warmly spiced holiday treat in a cup of tea. My entire family loves to drink this tea and even more so in the winter. As a cup of hot tea, it warms your tummy and helps one to feel seasonally spirited. This is a classic that never fails to make smiles.
I really hate licorice but even my picky palate can't taste it. It not only tastes lovely but it smells even better. It tastes homey to me (if that makes sense)
The subtle spice of this tea is so warming and perfect for cold mornings. I always get a supple during the holidays to ensure I have this year round.
Five stars for the quality! Here's what you taste: one part delicious black tea, one part nice spice & just a hint of orange twist to gift wrap the tea nicely! Plus, it helps that I sing comfort & joy every time I prepare this tea!
I love this tea so much, it is my favorite winter go to tea.
I buy this tea every year around the holidays. It's so cozy and warming.
I use this tea in my cold brew infuser to drink either cold or to heat in the microwave. It has a brisk, holiday flavor and scent that really lifts the spirits.
This tea definitely lives up to its name! I love these flavors combined ...tried it in a small tin last year and ordered the full size this year.
I love this tea. It's the perfect sip for the holiday season. The combination of cinnamon, cloves and apples blends together perfectly. I was hesitant to order a tin, as I am not fan of licorice root; but I received a free sample in a tea order, and search as I did I could not find a hint of licorice! It was love at first sip! I ordered a tin the following week. I live in Central Florida, where the seasons change, but you'd never know it by the weather. Enjoying an afternoon cup of this tasty brew brings the holidays very close. (It CAN be a bit strong, so I brew it for 1-1/2 minutes and sip it with one lump of sugar and a tiny splash of cream!)
I really love this time of year for drinking tea and Comfort and Joy is one of my favorites. I just drink it as is, I don't add milk or sweeteners to it, because, in my opinion, it's perfect just as it comes.
perfect for a chilly morning
Yum. It's the perfect cup of tea all winter long.
I look forward to getting this tea every year as Autumn/Winter roll in. Beautiful combination of black tea and spices!!
The combinations of spices are fabulous.
love love this tea. I always grab it when it comes in stock
Sitting by the fire and wrapping presents wouldn't be the same with my cup of Comfort and Joy. I tried it for the first time last year when it came as a sample. This year, I already purchased a tin and have my tea cabinet ready for my favorite winter tea.
The tea tastes great and it arrived quickly!
A wonderful cozy tea lovely to sip on a chilly morning with a good book
This tea helps put me in a cozy holiday mood any time of the year.
This tea is really tasty, I haven't ever had anything like it. I highly recommend it.
This tea is so yummy and delicious, especially when I add a cinnamon stick to it. I feel like I have been skiing and now I reward myself with a special warm treat!
We look forward to buying this tea every year. It is my all time favorite fall and winter cup. Always delicious.
This tea's delicate combination of spices is my favorite winter/holiday beverage. I appreciate that the blend is not as strong as a chai tea. It provides a cheerful start to a cold, wintry day.
Hurry to get your supply - you can only order for a limited time in the fall. It's a wonderful fragrance and taste that warms your cool evenings and snowy weekend days. It truly is a source of Comfort and Joy!
I love it by itself and sometimes mixed with bold black chai with a splash of milk or cream. Wish it wasn't only offered during the fall/winter months.
I always have this tea around for the holidays. I also use this as a hostess gift.
Always wsit with anticipation for my favourite flavour to return!
This is my number one, go to morning tea! The holiday spice aroma soothes my soul throughout the whole year!
Every Christmas season, this is my go to.
Great tasting spicy tea for the holiday season!
This tea has more going on than any other tea I've tried. Some nice fall fruit, a little clove and anise spice, and then this really interesting almost grapefruit taste that I can't quite put my finger on. I'm going to have to stock up on this so I can have it all year!!!
I finished my tea earlier this summer and couldn't wait to reorder. Got my 250 bulk bag recently🎉 my favorite
A great winter tea, with so many spices, but yummy even out of season. Smells and tastes lovely. Flavor is as advertised.
Christmas in a cup! Bright flavors, so good. I'd love to see a decaf version of this. ROT has many wonderful holiday teas but no decaf options (Aside from the herbals)
Delicious flavors for a tea that's not as spicy as some other holiday teas. And a bonus that it's a black tea instead of herbal. A seasonal treat!
Always look forward to the Fall when this tea becomes available. Tastes like the holidays!
This tea is yummy...like drinking a cup of Christmas candy!
I don't usually go for a flavored tea or anything with a fruit, but this tea is just happiness in a cup. I'm glad I managed to order it before it was out of season, but I'm scared if I drink all of it I cant order more until the holidays again
I purchased this tea in the spirit of the holidays and absolutely love it. Takes me back to wonderful tastes and scents of Christmas. It's so delicious that I'll keep purchasing it until it goes out of stock.
So disappointed after reading all the reviews. The tea is too mild even after letting it steep for a long period of time and the apple flavor overwhelms the tea so much I can hardly taste anything else.
I love this tea in the winter time especially, but drink it all year round, it's so good!
Spice and warmth and easy sipping. This is my cold weather go to afternoon tea
My first favorite Christmas tea is Sip and Be Merry!
The first taste I got of this tea reminded me of the spices used in egg nog, so that's what I paired it with a couple times, but it also goes really well with my usual almond milk or on its own. You can really taste the fruit in it as well, which is also lovely. I'm personally not big on spice teas, but this one hits a perfect balance between spice, fruit, and tea!
This is so good! I buy enough to drink it all year. Yes I sit outside in 90 degree heat drinking hot tea.
This tea has a lot of depth and flavor. It's my husbands favorite and we stock up on it every year. It definitely has that warmth and spice, it's a strong dark tea, so I would imagine that it would be good with a splash of milk.
Love the cinnamon and other spices. It smells like Christmas baking. Nice balance of spicy and sweet.
I order extra bags of Comfort and Joy to have all year round. Some days you need a little extra comfort, and allowing the fragrant spices of Comfort and Joy to uplift your senses is perfect. It also reminds me of Christmas which is my favorite time of year! I have to remind myself to rotate it with other flavors so that I don't run out before it's available again.
Such a warming blend of spices mixed in with this black tea. Brings a sense of coziness to a cold day. Quickly by the bulk to last you through until the next holiday season.
If you like a stronger tea with less sweetness, this one is for you. It was personally too strong for me.
This little tin is handy for carrying a few tea bags in your purse when traveling.
This tea is well liked in our home. It's a black tea so you can't leave the tea bags in your cup too long, but it has a nice flavor for the holidays. We always look for it when Christmas comes.
For some years I have started my day with tea from The Republic of Tea. Comfort and Joy is just one of a number of varieties that burst with flavor. It's hard to find a comparable tea.
I had a sample is a store but they were all sold out. Luckily I was able to buy it on line. It has a black tea and mulled cider taste that is well balanced.
I love this so much I bought the bulk set of 250 so I am not without it! crisp, cinnamon-y, spicy and sooooo yummy!!!!!!!! this is such an AMAZING TEA!!!!
I so love my comfort and joy tea. All of my other tins get pushed to the side during the holidays. The wonderful aroma as well as the amazing taste are a perfect compliment to the holidays for me.
The flavor itself is great. It's unfortunately too weak for me, personally. I added one with a bag of English breakfast and it was lovely.
Comfort & Joy warms me with rich spices and dried fruit. Usually, I find black teas too strong, but this is very mellow and sweet.
My favorite flavor ever! Now I can take it traveling!!!
I am not a black tea fan. This came as part of a variety pack containing other teas I wished to sample. However, I found that this particular black tea is great. So if you are a green tea, red tea or hibiscus tea fan, you may be pleasantly surprised if you decide to try this delightful holiday time tea.
I had this tea at a friends house then searched it down so I could have my own tin at home. I love the flavors and really enjoy that it feels very winter/Christmas
I love all four of the new (to me) teas I ordered. So tasty are Comfort and Joy, and Sip and be Merry which are perfect flavors for the holidays. I love black tea blends. I am so grateful for the variety offered by The Republic.
The spices in this tea recall all my favorite holiday cookie flavors. This is a rich blend that is soothing and satisfying. It's the perfect sip for a cold winter evening.
I love this particular tea. I drink a lot of tea to keep up my 80 ounces of liquid a day. I can't say anything negative about it.
I have been buying this tea around the holidays for a few years now. I gift it also to my daughter who looks forward every year to coming home from work and relaxing with this flavorful and filled with wonderful smelling tea ingredients.
One of my favs
Delicious tea. A nice afternoon pick-me-up especially during the cold and dark winter months. The flavor is fantastic - really has a great aroma of oranges and cinnamon. Highly recommended!
Just as advertised. Loved the mix of a mild fruit taste with other spices. Great holiday tea
I initially tried this tea based on the positive reviews here, and I wasn't disappointed. I think this has a nice amount of spice and fruit. It's wonderful with a little sugar and some milk. My only complaint is that this tea isn't available all year long. On the other hand, though, since it is a holiday offering, I see it as something special to look forward to and stock up on.
We really.enjoy this tea and wish it would be available all.year. Great flavor and sooooo...relaxing and refreshing at the end of the day or for a morning or afternoon break. A friend gave this to us a number of years ago for the first time.
I have been drink your tea for years. I just really love it. I have at least 3 cups a day.
This is a nice blend of holiday spices and flavors, perfect for chilly winter mornings!
I really like the flavor of this seasonal tea and look forward to it each year!
This is a really nice tea for cold weather and especially nice during the holiday season.
The orange flavor is so rich it's a gift! I love this tea. So many flavors!
This tea is delicious with every swallow! So glad I tried it. Going to make a cup right now! Yum!
The fruit and spices in this tea remind me of a kitchen filled with holiday cooking! The comforting tea mixed with fruit and spices is flavorful and delicious. For afternoon or evening, I use one bag. I double it up for morning for a cup that will energize. A little milk makes the flavor come alive.
I look forward to the holiday season each year just so I can order this one.
I had ordered this before a few years ago but wasn't that impressed. I ordered again just recently and made a large cup using 2 bags the day it arrived because the weather had turned wintery and it seemed like this tea blend was called for. I added just a bit of honey even though I rarely add sweetner. It was just heavenly. I have been an Earl Grey addict for decades but I'm going to order the huge refill bag because I expect this may be the comfort that I'll need to get through winter this year.
This tea is truly comfort and joy in a cup. I love this tea and drink it most of the year. I usually but two or three during the season so I can have it when I want it. I love this tea on a cold blustery day!
My partner & I *always* make a Comfort and Joy purchase when it becomes available near the holidays. We love this tea! The smell when you first open the package is heavenly and we enjoy it throughout the year.
I received on of these little tins as a gift last year and enjoyed it tremendously. I decided to purchase a few to give as gifts. The tea is lovely for the holidays or year round enjoyment.
I stock up when this is available & when it is no longer available I start drinking it less frequently so I can have it last all winter & save a bit for fall until I can order again
Didn't feel comfort or joy drinking this haha. Not for me.
This is the only seasonal tea that I buy in bulk simply to have it all year long. It is warm, cozy, and comforting, with just the right amount of spice--everything you want in a tea. One of my absolute favorites!
This tea wraps up all the wonderful smells of the holiday season and Christmas in a cup of hot satisfying tea. Each sip refreshes the wonders of the holiday season! I buy this annually. I serve it to company during the holiday season sn all love it too!
When the weather starts to chill, I very much enjoy sipping on this. The spices are mixed so well, the apple is subtle and slips in just under the spices. Comfort and Joy is an aptly named tea.
We look forward to sipping on this delicious tea every Christmas season. It has the perfect name...comfort and joy, with a delicious blend of spices and fruit.
Wonderful tea for the holidays
Masterful blend of tea leaves crafted into a refreshing bouquet of Flavors.
This is THE tea for my husband. He waits for the day this tea becomes available and has me order as soon as I can get online.
Frankly I know it is suppose to be a "holiday" tea, but I can't save it for that. I drink this all winter long. The smell is great - cozy. I love the spice -y taste. Just keep making this tea!!!!
Reasonable, free ship, great tea!
This is one of the most flavorful teas I have ever tasted! It is one of my favorite from the Republic of Tea! The spices and apple flavor are devine!
So glad this blend is is back. Received a sample around Christmas time last year and loved it but sold out. Getting ahead of sell out now!
This is a favorite Christmas tea, all winter long...invigorating flavors for any time of day!
This blend makes me happy during the winter season.
I snagged this one because I was looking for something with apple. Now, I have to say, that the apple flavor is subtle. In fact, I can't recall if I can truly taste it. That's okay because the other flavors are nice. This tea is very refreshing, and I'll toss a tin in my monthly order as long as it is available.
I'm so happy this is a black tea. So many winter style blends like this are herbal only and I just don't like them. This one is delicious. It smells crazy good, in the teabag and brewed. And this one uses apple as opposed to citrus, which I've learned I prefer. And the addition of cloves makes it perfect. I'm ordering another tin of it.
Nice spice flavor but not overpowering. Makes me think of the Holidays every time I have a cup! Have a cup every Christmas Morning!
This is the second time I've purchased Comfort and Joy Tea. Bought it last year for the holidays and was so disappointed to run out and find that it was out of stock. So, I patiently waited and just bought it again. It has a lovely aroma and taste, and I like it year round.
The flavors epitomize Christmas time; extend the pluses of Winter, snd when iced, it refreshes the hellish hot days of Summer! Buy enough to last a full year!
I really enjoy the balance of fruit and spice in this tea. Add sweetener for a lovely winter morning treat.
As soon as I opened the container the first time, I knew I would be hooked. With or without sugar, this tea is comforting, fruity and lightly sliced but not overpowering like other 'holiday' or cinnamon and clove showstoppers. The berry and apple really come through. I take this with a splash of creamy oat milk and I cannot start my day without it. Replaced coffee altogether.
Comfort and Joy is my favorite tea! I drink it every morning--summer, winter, spring and fall. I look forward to my first cup in the morning, then my second, and sometimes even my third (if I have enough time before I get going for the day.) I try to order enough to last for the entire year, but I usually miscalculate. Then, I have to wait until September to reorder since it is a seasonal tea. Sometimes I just open the tea cannister to take a whiff. It smells divine. The tea is such a smooth, aromatic, delicious brew. Nothing better to start the day!!!
Great holiday tea, super nice aroma and flavor. I just wish it had a bit more apple pieces in there, other than that I really like it and will always have it stocked for Christmas.
I absolutely adore this tea, and wish they had it all year long! I always stock up for the year when it does come out!
I have been buying Comfort & Joy tea for years, at your website or locally. I bought it at the website this year, because I saw the price was what I was used to paying. I am so disappointed with the tea because I saw right away that the tea bags are only about half full and after steeping for 5 to 7 mins. I only get a weak facsimile. I love this tea; including the aroma, which is barely there in the cans I bought this year. I don't know why this tea is like this, whether supply problems or trying to keep the price down, but, I am not enjoying my morning cup like in the past. Now I am leery of purchasing it again in case u have changed it. I hope not!
I love this tea and it is a staple in my house all year long. I bought this for my daughter who had decided to do the same .
This tea has a perfect blend of spices. It's like holiday cheer in a cup. A lot of spice blends can be overpowering but this is just the right amount.
I love my Comfort and Joy tea. Although it is a Christmas seasonal tea, I buy enough to last me all year! In fact, it is really my favorite and I prefer it over any other.
This is my favorite cold weather tea. I usually buy extra so that it lasts all year long.
I'm new to this tea company and boy do I like this tea, all the Tea I have tried has such a nice taste, the flavored teas have just the right amount of flavor and like a good wine, hints of flavors, not overwhelming.
I am really enjoying this tea. It's like a holiday in a cup.
I've been buying your Comfort and Joy tea for years and have always been thrilled. This year, I brewed a cup and couldn't believe how horrible it was. There was hardly any taste at all, like drinking dirty sock water. I'm so disappointed, won't be purchasing again.
Delicious Christmas tea. Not too spicy and a bit citrus.
I first sampled the from an advent calendar. I cried. Brought back some of my greatest childhood memories. I searched the internet and found the Republic of Tea and placed an order. This is a wonderful flavor and I purchased enough of this holiday blend to last the entire year.
Lovely soothing tea to be enjoyed anytime of the day or any season for that matter.
This is one of my favorite black teas. However, I only order for the Christmas Season so it is a special holiday treat for me.
This is a nice change from my Pumpkin Spice and other fall teas. It has quite an apple flavor and I like it because it is a black tea; which isy favorite.
My absolute favorite tea!
This tea has all the flavors of Christmas with a black tea base. Celebration in every sip!
Comfort and Joy is a terrific tea. The fact that it is not available year-round merely enhances the pleasure it offers during the holiday season - don't miss out.
I am always on the lookout for a good Holiday inspired tea because there is nothing better than sipping a cup on a winter day, especially, if it is snowing outside. My friends know of my love of holiday teas and added this to my Christmas care package. It exceeded my expectations. Great flavors, very aromatic, and was the perfect cup of tea to savor as I enjoyed the lights on my Christmas tree. I really liked seeing how environmentally conscious this company was too. I loved the container and how it keeps the tea bags sealed without all the wasted wrappers and tags. I would highly recommend this tea.
Since my daughter introduced me to this tea several years ago, I HAD to have it daily. It reminds me of the Seattle market place cinnamon spice tea. But, it's easier to enjoy at home being pre-bagged. I LOVE LOVE IT!
I buy this tea every year and drink it hot and use it to spice up my cold brew in the summer. Most refreshing.
I purchased the Holiday tea sampler. The peppermint was ok, so was the pumpkin, but the Comfort and Joy is THE best by far. I will be buying the large container soon. Just spicy enough, not too strong even while steeping in my small teapot while I showered. A perfect cup of tea.
The flavor is not strong enough.
I've been enjoying this tea for so many years. I've tried others, but none can match Comfort and Joy!
I love everything about this tea, when it becomes available I just stock up to make sure that I have enough until it's available again.
I'm new to tea and have actually been drinking it rather than pop (soda). This tea is absolutely delicious! I don't use milk or sweetener and it's perfect. There is so much flavor it's unbelievable. I added them to a custom gift sample and honestly regret not buying a full tin. I will definitely buy the tin!
Always a holiday favorite
I just love this tea. I could drink it year round but I especially love it during the Christmas season. It has such a well balance of spices in an excellent tea.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this tea! It was just what I was looking for and I didn't even know it. This adds another layer of happy to my Christmas Season!
I have enjoyed the tea for several years... I had previously purchased the tea from Starbucks in past years. This year they were not carrying any teas... so I ordered direct. It was simple and the order arrived in two days... great speedy service. Thank you...
I chose this tea because it was advertised as a holiday tea, but I did not read the ingredients. I think if you have licorice root in a tea, it should be highlighted or cautioned in the main advertising. Licorice root can increase blood pressure. It is a tasty tea, but I can enjoy it only occasionally, since I have high blood pressure. For a caffeinated tea, I prefer pumpkin spice instead.
I was happy to see this was still available. I have enjoyed it so much being a year round Tea Drinker - Hot & Cold this Tea is really tasty. I am sharing this year in my Gift Bags for my neighbors and friends!
Wonderful tea for the holiday and all year round. Bright, flavorful and wonderful smell!
The Comfort and Joy tea Is wonderful! We enjoy it year round!
Love this tea
I'm so glad this tea comes back every year! It's by far my favourite seasonal tea. I had it for the first time years ago and I have ordered it every holiday season since!
Always buy the refill bags -Hate to throw the tins in the garbage
A holiday favorite.
I had some of this tea last year, and I really enjoyed it: I ordered more for this year. No problems with this order, but I had trouble with the spiced apple with tiny bugs in it. I let customer service know and got a replacement. I have loved every type of tea I have gotten from the Republic of Tea!
I love the air tight canister which holds the flavor of the tea
A lovely taste of the holidays!
Just the right amount of winter spices, but you can still taste the tea. Mmmmm.
Can hardly wait till this tea is available each year ! Then buy as much as I can afford… but still run out way too soon ! This tea keeps the Christmas Spirit going all year long….
The tea exudes warmth when you brew it from the delicious scents that waft to your nose. A dash of local honey rounds out a relaxing experience.
The spices in this tea have a wonderful flavor. I recommend it to everyone that would like a special moment of quiet relaxing time with a great cup of tea.
We wait all year for this wonderful tea. This year we stocked up as we like to drink it all year round. Probably our favorite Republic tea, although we have several that are close seconds:)
I have had this tea every morning since it came in the mail. I take it with a tsp of sugar and oat milk and it is a dream! He gives me an energy boost and the fruity taste is amazing. I should've gotten 3 cans of this!!
I've been buying this for years and always happy to see it come around again each season. I also buy a tin for my neighbor each year for Christmas. She loves it, too, and swears it's better for a bad cold than any medicine she's tried - true comfort! and joy!
I love the spiciness of this tea and always try to pick up an extra tin or two to get me through the month's it's not available. It's my afternoon tea of choice most days, though I like to occasionally alternate it with the Travelers' Chai for a change of pace.
I buy this tea every year for my wife, daughter, and a special friend. They love it!
This is the best Christmas tea I have found! Perfectly balanced with those holiday spices like cloves and just a hint of apple, I love it!
This has become an annual tradition at our house. We love it! Make it extra special with a dash of sugar and a splash of orange juice.
For Christmas gifts, I purchased the colorful tins of different teas and added packages of the Honey Straws to make it more fun. The tea is a peaceful touch to a delightful season. Thanks also for your prompt service and delivery.
This is a truly nice holiday spice black tea. I always make sure I have a new order for the winter season.
Although this is a seasonal tea, I drink it year round to get that special holiday feeling.
This tea is very tasty and the aroma is superb!
I order often and have never been disappointed with the product or the service!
Comfort and Joy tea is just that - pure Comfort and Joy! When the weather gets a little bit cool. That is when Iike to have this tea on hand. Its the perfect way to start my day.
We're so into this holiday tea that we just bought 2 big bulk bags so we can enjoy it year-round. The perfect blend of rich spices and truly wonderful mixed with British breakfast as a strong, flavorful iced tea.
The cinnamon and clove favors in this tea are soothing and joyful! I buy 100 teabags every year to enjoy from November- January. This tea helps me survive the cold and foggy winter days where I live! Try it...you won't be sorry!!!
Good overall comfort blend!!
It is not the fall and winter holidays without this tea. The chai spices are perfectly balanced and it doesn't have too sweet notes, which I don't enjoy. This is a great flavored black tea.
Love this at Christmas or any other time.
Great seasonal tea!
Glad we got this tea in time for the Holidays.
Love the taste of this tea. It has just the right blend of flavors that are perfect for a cold winter day.
This is an extraordinary tea for the holidays -- and all winter. Wonderful spices create a warming scent to start my day!
The BEST holiday tea I've ever tasted! It's truly Christmas in a cup! During the holidays, I have a cup every night curled up with a blanket & a Christmas movie! It's been a new holiday tradition in the last few years!
We have been drinking Comfort and Joy for years,. My ten year old grandson loves a cup in the morning while I have my coffee. It's delicious iced, as well.
It is good and I love the fall spices. For me not an everyday tea but for special times it is very good!
This is like drinking Christmas in a cup. I add sweetened orange slice to mine and it is just spectacular! Love love love this tea.
I really like the flavors in this tea. Comforting on a cold night
So tasty! It's perfect for the season and definitely the right balance of spice and flavour. Would highly recommend.
This tea not only brings me joy but is beyond delicious and festive. It makes my heart happy. After buying a small tin, I went ahead and purchased an additional 250 bags, I wanted to make sure I had it in the house! By far, the best seasonal tea they have. Fruity and spicy perfection!
Russian tea was a holiday tradition in my family. This tea tastes very similar to what my mother used to make with apples, orange, cinnamon, and cloves. Delicious and brings back good memories.
I love this tea and bought a couple of tins to last me until next Christmas. I take a thermos of this when I go fishing and when I share it with others, they always ask me what it is so they can find it themselves (especially self-declared non-tea people who take a cup reluctantly but are cold). Really great flavour. Cannot get enough of it.
Love the flavor combination. This one I bought fir me, the others were fir my daughter's. The flavor was so very... Mild I enjoy a stronger flavor to my tea.
I do like the spices in this nice Christmas-y tea but for me it needs a sweeter flavor so I have to add more honey than I would like. I normally love the spices of the holidays but this one isn't really my favorite. Just my opinion. I order often from this awesome website so there's bound to be one or two that aren't perfect.
From the first time I tasted Comfort and Joy, no other tea could compare. I drink it American style, my husband Irish style. It is great both ways. The first year I didn't realize that it was seasonal and I would not be able to replenish until autumn. The next year, and every year since, I order enough to last a year and store it safely. In summer, I serve as iced tea and it has on occasion been more popular than beer at a backyard barbecue. Buy it now if you can, and enjoy Comfort and Joy all year long.
After dinner i look forward to my cup of cinnamon flavored tea. I t feels warm & has a wonderful flavor.
Tasty too! Not a chai, but all the spices that go with Christmas. We love it!
This year was the first time I tried Comfort and Joy. I have been a customer of Republic of Tea for more than 20 years and this tea is by far my favorite. Although I order flavored black teas, some of the Christmas offerings have too much spices for my taste. This tea has just the right amount of apple and other spices. I took another customer's suggestion and ordered 4 cans because it is a limited time offering.
I love spices teas and this one has warm and spicy flavors
This tea has a little kick. Its sold during winter. I will be stocking up on this to hold me over. I like this in the evening when I'm relaxing.
Crisp and clean, with just the right amount of spice. Not overpowering, but by no means bland. A winter and holiday brightener for sure!
This tea is excellent hot or cold. So happy with my purchase!
This tea has just the right combination of cinnamon, cloves licorice and apple bits. For some, putting up the tree signals the beginning of the holiday season, but for me, a cup of this tea begins this time of year for me.
Your Comfort and Joy tea is my wife's favorite tea. She is big into recycling and we opted to purchase the tea bags in the 250 mass quantity and put them in the empty Comfort & Joy tea cans that we saved from our previous order.
Some of the yummiest tea I have had ! Great winter flavor !!! Will buy again and again !!!
My tea came very fast and in perfect condition. I also found another favorite in the free sample provided!!
Everyone enjoyed your tea.
i always love your teas they are fresh i definately love the holiday flavored teas
We call this "Christmas Tea" at our house. This year I broke out the stash early! It also makes delicious iced tea.
Comfort and joy is exactly that. Comforting. The spices blend perfectly to yield an exquisite experience. Be warned...its a seasonal offering so order plenty....we always run out!
Cup of Christmas... that is exactly what this tea tastes like...I love it!
I order this tea every year. It just tastes like Christmas to me. Not bitey or overly spiced. A great cup of tea.
I get a large pillow of Comfort and joy for my daughter's birthday each year. With rationing it usually makes it close to the full year until it is back in stock. She loves it!
I love this Comfort and Joy tea, and it's more special because it's only made available during the cooler months.
I love, love this tea! Orange, apples, cinnamon. Perfect on a snowy day. Or any winter day.
This tea is absolutely delicious -- It smells wonderful, it tastes great and I am now so addicted to it that I must drink a large cup of it every morning. So far, I have ordered / received 450 tea bags of this particular tea and I will probably order twice as much next year! There is something so unusual and so appealing about this tea that I highly recommend that you try it -- I'm sure you will love it!
Of all the teas I have tried this one is one of the top 5. It is amazing. What a great blend of flavors.
Comfort and Joy is one of the most amazing teas I've ever tasted. Six of my friends have tried it, they absolutely love it. I bought it because it remained me of a different teas that I used to get. It actually better. I would recommend it to anyone, if they asked me. I wish it was sold all year round.
This tea and All of the teas that I have gotten from the Republic of Tea have been excellent. My wife especially like this tea.
Love this one. Have been sipping this lovely flavor for years and I always buy more for little Christmas gifts.
Love it ???
I love this tea so much I buy enough to last me until next season
One of my favorites.
I'll try this using two bags next. I recalled it as more briskly flavored in the past.
I really like this black, "Christmas" tea and it's combination of spices is delicious.
Delicious black tea with nice holiday favor, but sublime, not fake pumpkin taste. Just a little hint of winter. I love this tea SO much - both hot and iced. Served it as the alternative to wine last Christmas and the non drinkers complimented it so much that the wine drinkers ended up wanting some too. P
It was 97 degrees outside when I took my first sip of this holiday blend, and it still felt like Christmas! A wonderful blend, deeply flavorful. I'm going to have to moderate myself with this one so there'll still be a few bags left in December.
I bought a can of this tea as a Christmas stocking stuffer for my mother and it became her favorite tea. She would drink it only on "special" occasions until I threw out her discount grocery store tea insisting that at 93 years old (!) EVERY day for her was special! Now I order it for her in bulk and it's all she drinks all year long. Nothing but the best for Mom!
Love Love Love Comfort and Joy! I wish it was available year round.
Tea is important to me. I own all of the accoutrements of a serious tea drinker - kettles and pots and strainers and warmers and cups. Oh the cups. Fancy and thick and thin and plain and authentic Chinese and - you get the idea. I drink tea every day. So when I say that my favorite tea in the whole world is Comfort and Joy, people who know me listen. Comfort and joy is equally delicious served hot or iced, and is just perfect with a holiday meal. But heed this - Comfort and Joy is offered seasonally, and once it is gone, it's gone until next year. This year I went three months without my favorite tea, and I won't let that happen again! Order early and order plenty. Republic of Tea offers great deals on bulk purchases. I hope you try Comfort and Joy. If you do, I think you will love it, too.
I absolutely love this tea. I'm writing this in July, and I have 6 teabags left from my last holiday order. I can't wait until it's back in stock in the fall. This is my quintessential holiday tea. It tastes just like a delicious mince pie or fruitcake. The spice level is perfect. The aroma and the taste are incredibly soothing. It truly makes me happy when I drink it. When I have teabags left in the summer months, I drink it iced, and it is still fantastic. Be sure to stock up when you order this, since it is only available seasonally. Can't wait for Christmas!
I just ran out of this tea. I received two cans for Christmas 2017. It is just sooo good. Great blend of teas. I hope there will be more and not just seasonally.
Beautiful smooth black tea. Feel festive!
Wish this flavor wasn't seasonal. But I stocked up to get me through.
My daughter, Karen, purchased this tea after I sent her name in as a referral. She shared it with me and it tasted exactly like Christmas. My daughter-in-law also loves Christmas teas so I purchased a tin for her Christmas gift. I know she will love it too.
This tea is one my whole family enjoys - even my mom, who is not a tea drinker! Always have to buy more than one - to last the whole year!.
I love this tea. I actually bought it for the name. I will have another tea drinker visiting me this holiday and can't wait to share this.
I have been buying this deliciousness for years now and am finally willing to give some away as a gift. I know she will love it!
I have purchased tea from Republic of Tea numerous times and never been disappointed. There are tea blends I've never found elsewhere and have been delighted with each I have purchased. I've given as gifts to tea connoisseurs and each has been appreciated by even the most tea-discriminating palates. Great flavors from a company great to deal with.
I was looking for a second Christmas tea, and I saw this one! It is delicious and tastes like Christmas!
This tea is extremely delicious. It's a dessert in a mug!! It is warm, smooth & has a wonderful fruity sweetness to it without any sugar. Brew a cup & enjoy!!
This is a delicious tea. It tastes just like its name. Will buy again. The beautiful tin of this tea and one other in the same order came with a big dent. I contacted the company and they sent me new ones. I received them in three days. Am very impressed with Republic of Tea's customer service.
Love spice, and tea with spice is just so nice! Nothing like a hot cup of tea with a little sugar and milk to make the morning (or afternoon) a little easier to deal with. So relax & enjoy!
This tea tastes like Christmas - or any other winter holiday that you celebrate. It takes me back to when I was a kid.
I got a sample of this with my order and I honestly didn't expect more than a black tea. Was I wrong? Yes! This tea upon opening smells so good almost like a freshly opened fruit cake. It's magical! I don't understand how they get so much flavor into a cup of tea! Highly recommend this Christmas in a cup!
This tea takes me right to Christmas time. The blend is flavorful without being overbearing. While drinking it I experience feelings of comfort and joy!
I love tea, drinking at least 2 cups of different teas every day. Comfort & Joy rates in the top 5 favorites. In fact, l enjoyed it so much I bought a canister for my sister. Then another canister apiece, then the value bags. We end up having this at least a couple times a week.
Love the Comfort and Joy blend - it bursts with 'comforting' flavors reminiscent of the holidays - cinnamon, apple and cloves. We'll be using it year. 'round - just stocked up:)
I bought a tin of Comfort and Joy tea during the holidays and instantly fell in love with it. The flavors and scents of this tea are both soothing and intoxicating. I especially love the clove notes. This is my new favorite tea! (I just received my order for 250 bags of it yesterday and sipping my 3rd cup as I type this.) Try it - you'll LOVE it!
I have been drinking my way through November and December with this tea for 4 years now! The spice blend is perfect! It tastes like Christmas and provides all the Comfort and Joy I need to get through the holidays!
I purchased this tea based solely on the reviews. I thought, could the tea really be that good....REALLY? I mean, it's just tea, right. YES! this tea is everything everyone else has said. It's so calming yet makes me happy on cold nights, especially on days when I am feeling down. The apple flavor really comes through with the spices. It reminds me of the holidays, it reminds me of my deceased grandmother in the kitchen preparing food for the holidays, so yes, comfort and joy is a wonderful name for this tea. I will be purchasing a bulk order before it's gone!
Really liked this one, great combination of spices.
Love, love this tea.
I have purchased this for the holidays for 2 or 3 years now and will continue to do so. It is a special flavor truly indicative of the holiday season! Everyone I serve it to, really thinks it's great! I especially enjoy it on cold winter evenings with the tree lit and soft carols playing in the background.
This is my absolute favorite tea! The apple and the spices are perfect together. It's just the right amount of flavor. Not too strong and not too weak. If I could only drink one tea for the rest of my life, this would be it!
Comfort and Joy smells like its name. It tastes heavenly and soothes magically. This tea has brought me comfort during a very sad time in my life. It is wonderfully uplifting.
This seasonal tea is my absolute FAVORITE! I wait for it every year. Last year, I gifted it to my mom and several friends, who promptly went out to track down more before it sold out. The perfect way to start a brisk winter's day.
I love love love this tea. I didn't realize it was seasonal until it was too late to reorder. I won't make that mistake again. I've been rationing my tea all summer!!
I'm writing this in the middle of May because it's rainy outside and I reached for a cup of comfort and joy- and was instantly overjoyed with the "comfort" the subtle spices bring to this black tea. It's somewhere between an earl grey and a chai, and with a little dash of heavy cream and honey, it is a cup of cozy, wrap up in a blanket and read a good book goodness. Take it to go on a busy, cold and blustery day and take a cup of comfort with you. Can't wait for fall when they restock!
The only bad thing about this tea is that it's seasonal! Please make it available year round!
I LOVE this tea and only wish it were available year round.. This is my go-to tea when the snow is falling, or the day is stressed.
This is my favorite tea and I'm so sad it's only seasonal and won't be back for awhile. I think i have just one teabag left. The name really says it all, this tea does bring comfort and joy to my mornings!
This tea has been a favorite of mine this year so I got some for myself for home and work.
Really enjoy the blend of flavors in this tea.
Great blend of spices! My husband and I enjoy it every morning. I have bought this tea for over 10 years and can't imagine a winter day without it!
I received a sample in my catalog and loved the hint of fruit and spices. Now that I have my own cannister-I really love it as iced tea. I've turned my daughter on to it and she loves it as well.
This blend is simply a warm hug in a cup!
I had heard it was good so I tried it. YES very good! I drink a cup every afternoon
Very good tea that should be available year round.
I drink this year round because I love it so much! I buy 2 cans in the store when it's out at Christmas! I love the cinnamon and clove flavors!
I have purchased this at World Market for a few holiday seasons, for myself and for gifts and it is always appreciated. I make my cup with two bags and it really makes me smile and go "awwww" on the first sip every time! I wish I could order the bulk bag as well as the tin refill but they are out of stock, so I hope the company will continue to make it available year round. I really love it.
I love this tea, and wish it was available year-round. It is mild, gently flavored, and I am comforted when sipping it. For the perfect cup, I add a bit of Almond Milk, and a teaspoon of honey, and I'm "Good to go"!
I know this is sold as a seasonal tea, however, this is my all time favorite tea from The Republic of Tea, so I stock up to get me through the rest of the year.
I wish this tea wasn't seasonal. I enjoy this one so much and will drink it year round!
I've bought this tea in bulk for more than 10 years and drink through out the year. I always get positive comments from others around me who smell the lovely aroma.
I admit that I'm a sucker! I tried this sample that I received in the mail and it's so cozy and delicious. I don't normally drink caffeinated but I'm glad I tried it. I bought two cans already. No wonder it's a best seller.
I'm not a fan of flavored teas, usually. I got this as a sample with the recent catalog. I steeped it for about 3 minutes, then somewhat doubtfully added sugar and cream (wasn't sure how that would taste with the apple flavoring listed)--but, wow! It's glorious. I'm not giving it five stars just because I'm not sure if the flavors would be so mellow, silky and rounded if not for the dairy. Boy, though. Such a soft cinnamon flavor, not overpowering, and the apple tastes so natural, like the juices from a freshly-picked one that drip from one's lips as they bite. Spectacular, yummy. Would recommend sweetened and milked-up, maybe in a carafe at a holiday party.
This was the first tea I ordered from this company. It arrived quickly and was in quality condition. The packaging is great, the tea doesn't become stale. They sent a sample of Sip and Be Merry which took over as my favorite tea and I just ordered a tin of that one tonight.
This tea reminds me the flavor and the smell when is brewing.My grandmother used to prepare a similar version,I enjoy the smooth spices and tea quality.I drink about 6 cups a day and even though I consume about 500 bags a year,I don't think is enough because it is a seasonal tea.Soon I will order another 250.The price is great,the packaging is great and the flavor is excellent for winter or anytime months.Very low caffeine.
This tea - while Republic of Tea calls it a seasonal tea - I drink it both hot and cold all year long. It has just the right combination of black tea and spice.
This is my all time favorite tea. I order it in bulk so I have enough to last until it is available again!!!
I was looking fora seasonal tea to serve at my tea party -- and this was a great find. All the guest lived it and I bought some more to give as gifts and to include in gift baskets. I enjoy this in late morning or afternoon. It makes me want to sit, sip and relax.
Tasty tea on its own, but when you add milk it tastes exactly like bubblegum. Gross.
I ordered a tea sampler box with three of the holiday teas and this was one of them. Out of the three I ordered, this was the best one. The Peppermint Bark was terrible and Dream by the Fire wasn't for me either. I wouldn't want a tin of this but having a few tea bags is okay.
I got this as a gift and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite teas ever. I look forward to drinking it every Christmas season. It's a nice blend of spices and apple and reminds me a bit of candy when you add a bit of sugar. DELICIOUS.
I love this tea hot and cold! What an amazing flavor that soothes and refreshes! I always stock up and give as a gift throughout the year. Thank you Republic of Tea.
One of my favourite holiday teas. Great balance of flavours, and one of the few I actually have to remember to take out of the pot rather than steep indefinitely! This tea pairs really well with the Yerba Mate Latte tea; gives it a creaminess and softens the bite of the black tea. I have to stock up on this while it's available!
I just ordered this tea for the first time. It reminds me of drinking a cup of Wassil at the holidays. I was a little skeptical of ordering it because of the cloves & licorice flavors, but gotta say its really a mild tasting tea. Can't wait to share some with my family & friends. CHEERS!
This is the best tea I have ever had. It is the only tea I drink. I drink it all year long so have to make sure I stock up on it while its available. Even if there was something comperable that I could get anytime I want it would be nice. It certainly would be more convenient if I could just get Comfort and Joy all year long. I will continue to get it as long as it is available.
Ruined a spicy apple tea w/the uck of licorice.
I enjoy this tea all year long and order the bulk package to ensure I don't run out since it is not available all year. It is both spicy and soothing.
Yes & yes. Wish it also came in decaf so I could enjoy throughout the day and in the evening too! I can't distinguish the apple taste in particular, but notice the cinnamon & hint of licorice. I feel nutmeg would be a good addition, &/or if the apple stood out more, but it's a good flavor and has a nice spiced aftertaste you can feel.
Very mild, smooth and comforting! I love making a large pitcher of cold tea (refrigerate, no ice please). So many of us would be happy, happy, happy, if Comfort and Joy was available all year long. I'll just have to stock up again. :)
This tea is my favorite. I like to drink it all year, not just in the wintertime. I make candied orange peel curls and add them to a steaming cup and the peel just kicks up the orange flavor a notch. Peel an orange, making sure there is no white left on the peel. Make a sugar and water mixture (it takes quite a bit of sugar)add the peels, boil until the sugar water becomes very thick and almost all gone. Let the mixture cool and place in a tightly covered container, refrigerate. Add to your tea. YUM YUM.
This is THE tea that should be available all year long! This is my go to tea in winter, spring, summer and fall. All of the flavors shine through!
Love this tea! One of my all-time favorites. The quintessential blend for the holidays. Good spice and fruit notes. Needs little to no sugar.
I purchase this tea October - December so that it will last for the entire year! It's my absolute favorite!
This was being offered as a sample at my local store - so glad it was. I might not have bought it and I would have missed out. It is a perfect holiday tea. I think I'll stock up so I have it for the whole winter.
I've been drinking this tea for 6 years now, and it kicks off the holidays perfectly! When I think of the first sip of Comfort and Joy I took years ago (during Thanksgiving week), it evokes happy moments with family. Every cup since then has been a joy and is now a tradition, which is what the holidays are all about!
This tea is so delightful! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tea! I have continued to sip it all summer long. I never get tired of that dreamy taste of cinnamon, cloves and hint of licorice! Whether I've been canning in my hot kitchen or kicked back with my feet propped up...this is THE tea for me! I hope you enjoy it like I do!
OK, so I know this is a "holiday" tea but I hope that it is available year round. It is such a wonderful blend of flavors; I loved this one at first sip!
Smells and tastes great. Wonderfully balanced and the spices aren't at all overpowering which I always worry with strong spices like clove and licorice root. Just perfect though
really enjoy the soothing tea.. makes the holidays special :0
This tea is so good that I will be ordering more. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this tea reminds me just that. Very comforting to drink on a cold winter night. I make sure I have a cup of this tea on my ceramic mug while driving to work in the morning. The very best!
This is my favorite tea. I buy several bulk bags each year so I have enough for the full year. I store them in a plastic bag in the freezer and they are fresh all year.
Received as a sample. Very nice seasonal tea.
Simply one of the nicest black teas I've had in a while. I'm not a fan of black tea, but this just brought so much warmth and memories of Christmases past. With a touch of honey, this may become my new seasonal favorite!
This is my favorite winter-time tea. I just ran out an am happy to be ordering a refill for the start of the cold weather season. This tea tastes like Christmas in a cup. Yum!
When I first tried this tea I thought the spices were too strong. As I kept drinking it though, it kept tasting it better and better. I got this are part of a set and I'm on the fence if I'd get it again... leaning toward yes though.
is great teaste n relaxing
I enjoy this comforting tea that gives me joy each time I sip it's delicious mix of flavors that are perfect for Christmas and every single day of the year. One of my absolute favs!
Best Tea at any time of the year
Since discovering this tea a few years ago, it has been my favorite tea. I drink it all day long at school. Only problem is that I have to order so much at one time since it is of limited production. October 1st is marked on my calendar every year so that I can order all I need for the whole year. If you have not tasted this, you are missing out.
I buy this tea every year to drink throughout. It's not just for Christmas. After a hard day, it's a spicy soothing moment of relaxation. Everyone I've given it to just loves it.
This is among my most favorite blends of any tea, and not just Republic of Tea flavors! The blend of spices and fruits works perfectly with the black tea. I make sure to have this tea on hand every December, because it really does taste like Christmas in a cup. It's so delicious and comforting, sweet and spicy without being overbearing. Just make sure to follow the directions for steeping, black tea becomes bitter if steeped too long!
Absolutely wonderful. A great stand alone tea, nothing else needs to be added to it. Bought the largest size and gave 5-tea bag gifts to friends to try. Love it. Thank you.
One of my favorite teas. Love it on a cold winter's day. It's not just for Christmas.
I fell in love with this tea last year when my Dad received a sample packet with his order and gave it to me. It wasn't until this year that I ordered a can and then the large bag of this great tasting tea. The smooth flavor adds true comfort and peace to my afternoon and evenings. I would recommend this delicious tea to anyone need a break from holiday shopping and hurried pace.
Very good! It does taste like Christmas! But I will be drinking it all year round because it is so yummy.
I look forward to this tea every year. I even include it in gift baskets to friends every Christmas.
This is one of the best teas I have had the pleasure of taking it to a quiet spot in the afternoon and simply thinking quiet thoughts and reading a good book. Delightful! While originally I bought the 250 bag, I am going back for another so that I may hold up at that place for the rest of the year and share it with others. Thank you!
I love this tea!!! It reminds me of Christmas or a snowy winter day, sitting down with a beautiful bouquet of spice tea. I used to love Constant Comment, but this tea blows it away! It is so much more flavorful, and as with all Republice of Teas, It keeps its fresh taste forever in the sealed tin. I'm hoping they have this in bulk, because I want more, more, more!!!
love the unordinary herbs blend, which is refreshing as it is destint taste.
Oh, my, do I love this tea! I bought a tin for me and one as a gift. Luckily I picked up the 250 refill too. I keep giving people samples because it is so delicious. The flavor is amazing. I love it hot and haven't had another tea since it arrived. Today's tea got cold before I was able to finish. It is delicious cold as well. I highly recommend this tea!
Comfort and Joy has spectacular holiday flavor that somewhat rivals chai but with its own unique flavor. I love this one!
I've enjoyed this wonderful treat throughout past holiday seasons and, this year convinced my husband to try it. Now it's his favorite too. Good thing I bought the 250 bag package! The fruit and spice scents and flavors in this tea are as warming and comforting as the coziest winter fleece.
This year I decided to drop a few bags in small cellophane bags to attach to the gifts for my friends at work. I expect to get accolades from my tea buddies and converts from my coffee-drinking friends. I'm sipping on my morning tea right now!
The best Christmas tea I've tasted - it hits the perfect balance between all the spices so that none overpower the others. Great in the early afternoon for a warm reminder that it's the holiday season.
How I wish this were available all year long! Never mind! I stocked up with 250 bags this time so it should hold me for awhile. I love this tea, it's like Constant Comment on steroids.
Definitely Comfort & Joy! And for a special treat, add a bit of eggnog...YUM!
This is a great afternoon or evening tea (or maybe a late Saturday morning that's been lazy). It has a perfect blend of spices and aromatic oils but is also a fine black tea flavor. I bought in bulk to refill the tins that I keep in 3 separate locations. Curl up and get cozy!
I drink several glasses of tea daily and this is by far my favorite black tea! I call it my "Cup of Christmas" and it's the most wonderful blend of citrus and spices. It's almost like drinking a lightly mulled black tea. It lives up to it's name. So comforting and full of joy. This year, I bought in bulk so that I don't have to portion it out for 12 months!
This tea is the pinnacle of the holidays. The mere smells warms you. Its complex full-bodied taste surprises you. I add honey and a hand full of cranberries, at which point the only thing missing is ham and mash potatoes in this holiday brew :) Very special.
Don't just enjoy this during the holidays as it's a fantastic way to start your day every morning of the year.
A new season of joy and enjoying this tea brings us joy. We love this tea! I thank others for their comments and quickly bought a bulk bag to get us through the cold winter ahead! LOVE THIS TEA!
I fell in love with this tea after getting a sample in the mail. I quickly ordered a tin & have been drinking it ever since. I have ordered it a few times since. This tea is good hot or cold.
I wait every year for this tea to be made available and then quickly buy the bulk bag because I drink this tea every single day. I love it!
This is a tea that is and can be enjoyed the whole year around. Soothing and satisfying. Very good as iced tea also. My friends and I really love this tea. I stock up when I can so I can enjoy it all year.
There is nothing quite like this tea during the winter months! Perfect blend of spices, just enough strength - expect this to be a hearty cup brimming with rich cinnamon and tingling clove tones. I highly recommend adding cream to your cup - it really reveals the "comfort and joy!"
