I enjoy this a lot however the cinnamon can overpower the cardamon if steeped too long. Still yet, a very nice tea and enjoyable tea with quality ingredients and no artificial additives or natural flavors, just goodness.
I order regularly from The Republic of Tea and I'm always very satisfied with the products that I receive. Every one has been a new adventure with many repeats over time. The Cardamon Cinnamon Herbal Teas is wonderful!! I shall add this item to future orders. Thank you!
I’ve been drinking this one for years. I normally break it out during the holidays. It’s one of my favorite spicy warm winter teas and I’m a big cardamom fan! So, this one hits the spot. I much enjoy the loose leaf because I can regulate the strength..
I keep this on hand. It is my favorite herbal tea!
Excellent tea and value
I bought this because it's our main holiday tea, and a solid chai sidestep. Cardamom and cinnamon are wonderfully blended as is, or with milk and sugar.
The Cardamon Cinnamon Full Leaf has a wonderfully deep aroma and flavor and is simply delicious. I make this as iced tea for my husband and he prefers this to the bagged variety. Very much recommend!
Had a tin of Cardamon Cinnamon in back of cabinet untried. When I finally tasted it, I was so impressed I immediately ordered more. It is a warming cold weather brew. Satisfying to the last sip.
I bought Cardamon Cinnamon Herbal Tea just to see if I'd like it, and, it turns out I really like it! It's delicious! It has just the right balance of flavors. This is a perfect after dinner tea.
A delicious infusion for Autumn and winter. Fragrant spices blend.
This tea is truly so amazing. I am in love with it. This was my third purchase, and I will definitely be reordering it in the future. I love chai, but I only drink tea at night before bed. So a very spiced tea with a lot of cardamom, which is totally herbal and caffeine free is perfect for me.
This is my favorite tea. It's great to have first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Throughout the day it can be like a soothing warm hug to your tummy, great as a tonic and for cramps.
Lovely winter tea for cinnamon lovers! This is extra nice as it’s not teabags. It’s real ingredients which is special.
Best....low caffeine tea!
Great tea on a cold evening. Warm, comforting flavors.
I had had the full leaf version of Cardamon Cinnamon Herbal at a friend’s and loved it. When I got tea bags locally, I found they weren’t flavorful enough for me. I had to use two tea bags. So I now have the full leaf version, and I can make it as strong as I want it.
I like to try new flavors along with my favorites. There are many.
This is one of two teas that I keep stocked at all times. It's so fragrant and flavorful whether by itself, with honey, or with cream. It also blends well when brewed with black teas and rooibos tea.
Great tea for evening when we don't want caffeine!
This tea smells and tastes SO GOOD! Not only as it's steeping but throughout drinking it as well, and it is still delicious even after it cools down. I also like that it is in large bits, which means fewer particles getting into the tea from the infuser. Perfect for gloomy or chilly days.
I was looking for a good cinnamon tea for the longest time that didn’t taste and smell like strong cinnamon gum. This tea absolutely perfect. It’s got a warm not spicy cinnamon sensation as you drink it. I do 1tsp for 7 min in my 20oz tumbler and it stays warm and ready to drink all day
I did not know that I liked cardamom until I tried this tea. It is wonderful alone or if you prefer black teas try adding a couple of bags of this to a pitcher of any black tea - especially those with orange or apple flavor. It adds a little spice to your favorite tea!
This is one of the best herbal teas I've ever tasted. It is simply sublime. I adore cardamom, and this is a wonderful caffeine free way to enjoy a spiced tea.
The bulk tea is very different from the tea bags. It contains lots of large pieces and the flavor seems different. I don't see how I can get 150 cups of tea from it unless I were to use a very tiny amount of tea each time. I tried grinding some of it up a bit and that helped.
For years, I drank pain ol’ ordinary tea…until someone gave me the gift of Cardamon Cinnamon - which woke my tastebuds & made me a fan! It’s my most favorite tea now….ahhhhhh!!
this is the my absolute favorite herbal tea. cardamon is one of my favorite spices and it compliments the other ingredients perfectly.
I’ve been buying this tea many years and love it. I’m always happy when the full leaf is available in lieu of tea bags but both taste great.
I love cardamom. I love cinnamon. Together they are amazing. Add a bit of cream and this tea is addictive! I look forward to my afternoon cuppa every day. Rich and aromatic. I think the cinnamon is a bit more forward on the tongue than the cardamom, but that works for me. I sprinkle a bit of cardamom on top and it is perfection!
I enjoy having a full-leaf experience for this tea. I have it as a part of a nightly relaxation routine. Calming warming flavors.
Perfectly proportioned spices! Just enough cinnamon, just enough boldness, just a hint of something sweet! This is comforting. Being able to control the strength of the brew has been awesome.
So full and rich it tastes like a caffeiene or black tea, but without the caffeine problems!
I love this tea! Now so do many of my friends!,
I love this tea mixed in with British Breakfast tea. Add cream and sugar and it's delicious!
Cardamom has a unique and distinctive flavor which can be hard to describe. It's a blend of sweet, peppery, and piney while also also floral with hints of citrus. This particular tea is caffeine-free so I can enjoy it any time of day. It's especially tasty hot while reading a good book.
This is by far our favorite loose leaf tea to steep for friends or just enjoy on a cold winter night. The warming spices in this blend are complex and a perfect blend to brew a delicious spice tea. We keep this tea on hand at home and frequently gift it to friends as well.
This is one of my favorite teas ever and probably my most favorite herbal tea. I love cardamom and this brings it to the table. Excellent with ginger cookies or desserts. I like gifting this tea.
This tea not only tastes delicious, but has a perfect blend of spices that smells absolutely wonderful!
I love that they have this tea in loose leaf. I started with the Cardamom Cinnamon in the tea bags and found this. Love both.
Wonderful cinnamon tea. Never had cardamom before but love it now.
I like this in winter as a hot tea but it makes a fabulous Arnold Palmer when mixed with my home made lemonade. Which is especially good in Texas this summer. Yummy.
Definitely a waker upper! The strong, spicy smell and taste of this tea is absolutely wonderful! I love the full leaf of this tea. You can see all the different real ingredients. Great for the holidays or anytime. Would definitely recommend.
I enjoy buying samples and trying new teas. This tea I ran out of so quickly I'm obsessed. It's just so good!
This loose leaf tea steeps beautifully. The aroma, the taste, and the rich amber color of the tea are all delightful.
Giving this to my mom for Christmas guaranteed my favorite daughter status as much as being the only daughter does! This is one of her favorites! I love passing my free samples to her as I always end up with gift suggestions.
This is an excellent full-leaf cinnamon tea that is enjoyable as a dessert tea or at any time of the day
My favorite. I love all the different spices in this
Next to apple cider, this surprise find via a sample enclosed in an order, this is a new fall/ cold-weather favorite.
I love loose-leaf this helps me with ability to use more tea according to my flavor satisfaction.
This is a tea with no caffeine, but a nice spike for your tastebuds.
I love cardamon. Glad to find it in a tea.
Love this tea.
I love this plain, with raw sugar, with raw honey, with or without oat milk and even with the addition of either loose leaf Earl Grayer orb lost leaf English breakfast tea when I want caffeine. (Lose leaf is the only way to buy tea.) The most used tea on my shelf.
A classic. It's the one you get when you're wanting something with flavor but not too much, spice and sweetness, but not overly powering, warm and comforting but without caffeine. It's been my favorite since I first had it over a decade ago and even though I keep enjoying other beautiful combinations, it's the one I drink the most. And it makes my whole house smell SO yummy!
This is awesome tea. My only problem is I ordered bulk tea instead of tea bags. Be sure you check the details of your order. I've done it twice and I think I'm being careful. Best tea ever!
If you could capture fall in a cup, it would taste like this tea. A decaf tea for everyone in the family to enjoy any time of day, young and old, morning, afternoon, or night.
The Republic of tea does not disappoint. Speedy fast delivery, excellent packaging I can recycle. This tea is really good...
I purchase the loose tea to use in tea, & coffee, to mull wine & cider, to flavor sauces, etc. The flavor combo is sublime & has multiple applications,
This is a very delicious tea. It is like pumpkin tea but spicier. My 12 year old loves this tea as iced tea. Her aunt bought the bags version for her last year and she said it is her favorite among all the similar teas she has. She drinks a lot of chia teas and the like. It is very flavorful. She says in the winter having it as hot tea is like a hug in a tea cup. We highly recommend! She bought this loose leaf this last order to try and plans to purchase it from here on out. It does have a stronger flavor which she really loves.
Flavorless to me, not sure what it was meant to be either. Glad I bought the taster size- not sure what I will do with what's left.
Great blend and packaging but the insides stuff will blow your mind...everything somehow escaped the tea bags and is running free...seriously...delish!
I have been enjoying this tea for years! The only thing that bugs me is the misspelling of 'cardamom'!
I liked the blend of flavors. If Christmas were a tea, this would be it
For years, we have boiled a tablespoon of this tea in a soup stock pan to delight the senses and to add needed moisture to the air on cold winter days. We have used it to breathe in to help with our stuffy noses. Breathing in and feeling the fragrant steam on our faces is so comforting when a little under the weather.
You used to have a cardamon cinnamon tea with less other ingredients. The ginger, carob, chicory, peppercorns, star anise, and cloves now dominate the flavoring and I really miss the more simple herbal tea.
This tea is good, but it has more cinnamon than cardamom. I wish it had more cardamom.
This is just that good. The cardamon and cinnamon blend so beautifully together. And the smell is intoxicating! Will order this again!
I am so pleased with this tea. I wasn't sure the flavor would be interesting or complex enough for me, but it is. Normally I am searching for the 'perfect' herbal chai, and most of the time I am disappointed with weak, uninspiring flavor. However, this Cardamon Cinnamon was a wonderful surprise. I actually tried it because I prefer to brew with loose tea, and this one was one of the few offered in bulk. It is mild, not at all spicy, but with bold notes. For me, it could be an invigorating daytime tea, or a soothing evening elixir.
Your Cardamon Cinnamon tea is probably the best tasting tea that I have ever drank (or sipped) haha. So rich and sweet. Wow!
We really enjoy the cardigan cinnamon in the bags and now we've tried the looseleaf which I think is even better, more flavorful, plus I really like how it looks , colorful.
I bought this herbal tea and was shocked how delicate it was. Very robust but not overpowering, and despite the name there is plenty of other spices. It also has ginger, pink peppercorn, and one of my favorite spices Star Ansise. The result is a good after dinner herbal tea, or something to sip on on a cold day. The tea also seems to help with phlegm and allergies but I am not a doctor or FDA agent so don't take that to heart. I also like to mix it with regular black tea to make a more complex chai tea. It's great and although in not a herbal tea fan, I'll keep this around when I want something different.
This tea is exactly as it sounds, and reminds me of a chai, but minus the black tea. I wanted some more interesting and bold herbal teas for when I can't have caffeine and this is one of my new faves.
Absolutely love the cinnamon cardomum tea. Lose is even better than bags as you canmake it nice and strong!!!!
It was love at first sip! This tea is so insanely delicious.. revs up a sluggish digestive system and warms the body. It increases circulation so much that I almost felt like I drank a cup of green tea. Rich and bold flavors are so enjoyable.. especially with a little honey! Excellent blend, Republic of Tea!
Love the ingredients however I felt the flavor was weak.
Delicious, full-flavored tea.
I love this wonderful herbal tea. It's great hot or iced. It's my favorite.
This is one of my favorite go-to teas for the evening when I don't want the caffeine. It is a healthy tea and tastes like both of the spices, with neither being overwhelming - great mix.
Republic of Teas have the best teas around! I only wish they had more of a selection of loose teas. I especially love the Cinnamon Cardamom tea!
I love this tea. I can turn to it for comfort instead of chocolate, any time of day, any time of year.
This tea has just the right combination of spices to make you forget that it's caffeine-free. After buying a small can I recently bought a big bag of it to keep on hand. It's also really good cold and mixed with a little lemonade.
My husband's favorite year round herbal.
Nice flavor and color, and when combined with the Biodynamic Turneric and Cinnamon, and Turmeric Ginger, makes a wonderful base for Golden Milk or just a relaxer in the evening. I've even mixed it with Ginger Beer over ice with a slice of orange and that's great, too! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish it had a lot more cardamom flavor in it.
I'm 73 years old, so I've been around a number of teas in my lifetime; This tea is the best tasting tea I've ever had! It has ingredients I've never experienced in any tea, before. It is made with black tea; but it's all the subtle ingredients that are so delicious.
This tea is an herbal full flavor Chai-like delight. The aroma is soothing & energizing. You can scent your environment and enjoy a well balanced mix of flavors to drink hot to chase away the cold or iced to chase away the heat. This has become a treasured favorite of mine. As a loose tea purchaser who makes up their own teabags, it is a truly beautiful mix to see. (It would likely make a lovely potpourri mix to enjoy, as well.)
Finally, an herbal chai tea! I have always loved chai tea, but not the black tea leaves. This tea is the best of both worlds. the flavor is awesome. Its a little too strong for me, so I usually cut the amount by 1/3rd. I received a sample of the tea bags after I purchased the full leaf, and I think I like the bags better. I found that my brew was not a strong and I am also able to carry it to work easier. I think I will purchase this in the bags next time, but this is a wonderful tea. It's great with almond milk (or even eggnog flavored almond milk) and agave.
I am removing caffeine from my diet and I bought a small amount of the loose tea to try. It more than surpassed my expectations of a herbal tea. I used a measured tablespoon in a tea bag with 14 ozs. of hot water and steeped for 6 minutes. It is a full bodied, hardy, flavorful tea. I've been converted - no more coffee for me!
I am a chai fiend, and this is like chai tea without the tea, and extra cardamom. Did I mention I'm in love with cardamom? Very flavourful, and a pick-me-up without any caffeine. Great tea!
I am amazed at all of the flavors the blend together to make this tea so incredible! I am so glad I tried it! The cinnamon really helps my back and is so delicious! Thank you ROT!
This is my go-to tea for anytime of the day or night. I loved it so much, I got it for my friends for Christmas, and they love it too! At home, the aroma of the spices is relaxing and welcoming. At work, I keep the tea bag version for an afternoon pick-me-up. Also, the full leaf can be re-infused a few times, so what a bargain!
I am a fan of both cardamom and cinnamon as well as Chai teas. This blend is perfectly balanced between the cinnamon and cardamom. Smooth taste. I love it with cream and honey, but it equally great plain or iced. A staple in my tea cache.
It has a delicious spicy sweet-ish taste. Best flavor comes for the last few sips in the pot. Also, you don't need honey with this tea. I bet you'll love it.
Absolutely love this tea. I am reordering. I take it w/me when traveling. The taste is superb. Introduced to my son-in-law & mister picky loved it. I highly recommend this tea for anytime day or evening or time of the year. I enjoy a cup sitting in my sun room in the morning.
I am so happy I received a sample Teabag with my catalogue, because I never would have tried this tea. Usually certain ingrediants like Cinnamon, ginger, mint etc overpower the flavor. But this is a very careful blend with each spice in perfect proportion. I truly love the unique flavor. I used to put cardamon in my coffee or cookies. I am delighted to meet it in a wonderful new tea.
I first tried this tea from a sample sent in one of your catalogs. I ordered the full-leaf and just love it. It makes a lovely "bedtime" tea to sip before retiring. The fragrance is soothing and reminds me of spice cake and the taste is smooth and refreshing. I would recommend this to anyone fond of old fashioned spicy things.
I mistakenly stored this in an unlabeled container a while ago, and forgot what it was. Surmising that it was either a spice mix or tea, I decided to grind it and see what it tasted like. It is just fabulous to sprinkle on a lamb roast, or add to a stew. Then brew a pot a drink it too!
This was one of the first teas I tried from this website, & I was hooked at first sip! Everyone I make it fir has enjoyed it. Needless to say, I ran out of it very quickly and need to order more. Nice tea for the fall and winter months!
Strong, bold, spicy, and still smooth. It doesn't need any milk or sweetener, tastes great right out of the pot.
I happened upon this tea just recently while travelling in the U.S. Fell in LOVE with it. I had never had full leaf loose herbs before so it was a new experience. I love this tea. Sometimes I take the lid of the can just to look at how pretty it is and to smell it's wonderful aroma..... hooked!
I first tasted this tea in a restaurant and never forgot how delicious it was. I'm so glad that I now have it at home to enjoy at my leisure.
This is a fantastic cold weather tea. I drink it on it's own, combined with black tea, or even combined with Roibos. Depth and clarity of flavor, yum!
Lovely spices-just perfect for cold days. I drink it as is, added to roibos tea, also add it to black tea. Fantastic.
I received my order today and immediately prepared a cup of the tea and I must say that it is heavenly. It is just spicy enough and all the special, individual notes of each of the spices come through but one does not overpower the other. I am placing an order for more!
this is one of the best teas I have had in a long time. Delicious hot or cold....... great.....great.
hope i'm not offending anyone when i say this, but my main use of this tea is to add it to my coffee when brewing. simply great
This tea is fabulous, I make it in my teapot and have it with honey it is refreshing and tangy flavor I really enjoy it immensly
I bought this tea while trying various herbal teas that I could drink later at night. Upon opening the taster tin, both the bright colors of the ingredients and the wonderful smell are both immediately noticeable. I haven't tried with milk or iced, only hot so far. The flavor is well-balanced with a tiny hint of spice from the red peppercorns. It's a great cold weather herbal tea. I will be ordering a full tin of this for sure!
Sometimes I open the tin just to experience the fragrance! It is too bad this tea does not come in a glass jar because it is visually beautiful as well as delicious. If you have some teas that are not your favorites, add a teaspoon of this to enliven them. This should definitely be listed along with the other holiday teas.
I bought this originally because I was looking for a way to make chai at home. This not just fills the bill, it exceeds all hopes and expectations. A full-bodied totally herbal tea great with milk, sugar or nothing added. Wonderful hot, terrific iced and lovely at room temperature. People ask for it whenever they visit. This is truly an amazing tea accomplishment!
I normally am just a black tea drinker, but I was looking for a herbal tea I could drink in the evening. Normally, herbal teas are too bland or fruity for me, but this tea was perfect! It has now become my evening, afternoon, and sometimes even morning tea!!!! Even got my mom into drinking it! You need to try this tea!
My husband recently had to stop drinking caffeinated drinks. We found this tea and he loves it! He doesn't even miss having coffee. We opened the bag and it smelled like Christmas. He brews it and then adds milk, chai-style. Thanks for an awesome product.
Fabulous. A great "chai" (American-style usage) without the black tea!
It was a bit strong by it's self, but when added with to other tea it was great.
I bought this tea because I wanted something different. I wasn't a big fan of cinnamon, but when I opened the can, the aroma instantly grabbed me. I brewed the tea, added honey(just a little), and then ice, WOW! I have found a favorite taste for ice tea! I've shared my experience and tea with everyone, and they love it as well! Thank you for the mix of flavors that definitely is unique!
I often make this late at night when i need a cup of tea that has no caffene. its alos one that leds itself to a nice smooth iced tea. I also mix it loose with the loose leaf Republic Chai full- leaf. It adds a bit of extra spice to that mix when i need it with out the extra caffene. Thank you!
The whole family enjoys this tea; hot, cold or warm. It's aroma is always inviting and refreshing. I buy it in bulk so I can take a tin to work, on the road or have it at home. Blending it with a green or black tea adds a bit of a kick.
I am hardly an expert with tea, but this was recommended to me when I was shopping in specialty store near my home. I was reluctant to try a loose leaf tea, but the shopkeeper convinced me to try it, since I was so intrigued by the sound of it. I'm not one for very fruity teas (though I do like lemon and orange flavors) and liked the idea of these spices. I loved it and am so happy she convinced me to give it a go. I like many of your other flavors but this one, for me at least, is so unique to anything else I've tried. Thanks.
This is one of my favorite teas -- I really love the spice combination -- it is very flavorful -- It doesn't have caffeine which is nice -- I love teas and this is one of regular teas I drink -- I am very happy to have found it -- I would recommend it -- it can be drank all times of day -- it is very soothing ---
If you use .75 of a measure of Cardamon Cinnamon and .50 of just plane Red Rooibos, you will have a great combination. They tend to bring out the flavor of each other.
This is one of my favorite spiced teas for colder weather. I especially like it because it is herbal and naturally decaf. The flavors remind one of spiced cider but without the apple flavor. This tea is best with milk and a bit of sweetener, but great by itself as well. I bought the refill bag of loose tea to fill up my tin. Very happy to have found the refill bag sold by RoT. :)
Around this time of year I also use this as a Mulling Spice or a Potporri.
I enjoy this tea both hot & with ice. I also grind it up in my spice grinder for use in bread recipies, soups, salad dressings, sauces, Indian Chutney & turkey stuffing. I love the way it makes my home smell when I cook or bake with it.
People come into my office just to smell the this tea when it is brewing. I also drink it iced in the summer - very refreshing.
I was so blown away by the perfect balance and complexity of flavors that couldn't concentrate on the movie we were watching! The only downside is that i ordered a minin taster tin. I Will definitley order the full size tin next time!
This herbal will transport you to autumn any time of year! It has a very rich, complex flavor and it smells divine (I've had coworkers comment on how good my office smells after I've brewed this one).
