I LOVE gingerbread and this is an exceptional gingerbread tea! Yum!
Not fond of artificial flavoring, this for me has to be steeped only 30 seconds before it is too sweet. Still yet, I enjoyed it at the holidays in spite of my sensitivities being a lover of homemade gingerbread. The aroma was the best part.
This is one of my all-time favorite tea varieties. I drink it almost every evening during the Christmas season (and beyond). It’s got the right amount of spiciness, and tastes like an indulgent drink. It’s hard to find a decaf or caffeine free gingerbread tea, especially one that tastes this good. I don’t miss the usual black tea base with this tea. It’s so delicious!
If you don't appreciate sweetness, you'll probably want to steer clear of this one, but I love it! To me, the stevia is not at all overpowering, just enhancing of the warm spice flavors. Also, I'm not a big fan of rooibos, but I barely register it in this tea, which tastes a little like gingerbread in a cup.
I have been wanting to try this flavor, being a fan of anything ginger. It didn't wow me like I hoped it would. It is also a bit too sweet. An enjoyable tea, but I probably won't reach for it too often over others.
I bought this tea a week ago and I am very glad I did. It taste great! I drink it cold and hot- either way is fantastic.
Drinking this in the winter reminds me of cozy winter days. In the summertime, it's very refreshing as an iced tea. i like drinking it any time of the year.
One of the teas I enjoy year round!!!!
This is a really good tea with warm spices and a calming taste. I bought one last year and again this year
A wonderful tea for the Holidays, and every day!
I am really enjoying this flavor! With stevia and a little vanilla creamer, it's like dessert in a cup.
Excellent!
Love the rich ginger flavor of this tea.
JUST LIKE A GINGERBREAD COOKIE
This is absolutely delicious
I have never tried the flavored teas but I thought this year I would and I am so glad I did. The gingerbread tea is delicious and is perfect for after dinner just relaxing and sipping on the gingerbread tea. It has such a nice mild flavor, so it is not overpowering but you do get the gingerbread essence in it. Thank you, Republic Of Tea for such a delicious cup of tea.
I was disappointed that this tea didn’t have more ginger flavor. Next time I will brew two bags in my cup to try and get the flavor I was hoping for.
This is a lovely, warming tea. The cinnamon gives it a hint of gingerbread flavor. This tea is sweetened with stevia, which is OK for me. For those who prefer to provide their own sweetener, this may not be the tea for you.
This the 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from you. I love the tea. So do the people I gift with your tea for Christmas.
This is my favorite tea!
R of T creates a sugar and spice delight with their spectacular seasonal sipper! Featuring a healthy rooibos base elevated by a zesty snap of ginger and sweetly satisfying finish, this Christmassy cuppa captures the taste of the holidays in one beautifully-balanced brew that will have visions of gingerbread men dancing in your head!
Wonderful flavor- wish they made it without the Stevia as it is a migraine trigger.
Excellent service to supply wonderful tea
Omg. This tea is awesome! It tastes like you are eating a gingersnap cookie. Sweet, but that little zing thats such a part of a good gingerSNAP! Already ordering more for a gift.
I just bought this tea and I love it
This is my favorite blend during this season.
great taste, very easy to sip
Not very strong flavor at all--I was expecting something spicier.
I received as a gift last year, loved it. Ordered for myself this year. I like that it’s caffeine free so I can enjoy in the evening.
Great tea from a great company! Just received our re-supply of our regular teas and a few new blends to try. We are always so happy when new adventures arrive.
Very pleasant after dinner tea
This is my go-to tea once the weather turns cooler; all the flavors are wonderfully balanced. Although the ingredients include stevia, I do not taste it at all. I have other Republic of Tea flavors that contain stevia, and it can be overwhelming in those, but not in Gingerbread. I don't know what I'll do if RoT decides to stop making this! My husband always buys me the bulk 250 bag for Christmas!
I purchased the bag of 250 to replace the empty bag of 250. This is my favorite night time tea, flavorful, smooth and warming. Of course you could enjoy it anytime of day.
I was gifted a tin of this from someone who knows I tend to love the Republic of Tea holiday teas. I love ginger and was excited to try this. Unfortunately, from the first sip, it tasted off. I checked the ingredients (yeah, I should have done that first) and it turns out it's pre-sweetened with stevia. If you like pre-sweetened tea and stevia, you'll probably like this. For me, it made it undrinkable, so I gave it away.
Another great winter feeling tea. I also am a coffee drinker (in the mornings) and htis is one of those herb teas that works adding flavor to coffee (just put a tea bac into the pot before brewing.
I bought this flavor last week and just love the gingerbread flavor.
This is the best of the cuppa cake series hands down. It tastes like a legit piece of gingerbread. 10 out of 10
Love this one. It's spicy & delish -is a guilt free dessert kind of dessert tea. I now buy as a gift for a couple friends who also love
This is the best gingerbread flavor tea I have ever had. I have recommended it to everyone!
Really enjoy this delicious treat. It feels like I am treating myself to dessert without any of the negatives of eating an entire cake. Love this.
This is one of my favorites. I drink it all year long. In the winter, I top it off with a splash of half & half
I absolutely love this tea. I bought it with holiday festivities in mind but I enjoy this tea all year round. The ginger is warming and the flavor is decadent. It's a dessert tea at is finest. I hope this tea stays in rotation.
I’m so glad I bought this tea! I was looking for a decaffeinated or caffeine free gingerbread tea that wasn’t overly spicy, but had a delicious, full flavor. This tea is absolutely delicious, and was everything I was looking for in a gingerbread tea to enjoy in the evening.
I love this tea, although I also bought the Hallmark gingerbread cookie one and didn't realize these teas are exactly the same. Good thing I like it because now I have two tins of them.
My kids and I really love this dessert tea. Great to have instead of reaching for a cookie or any time really!
I got this tea in the hope that it would be a suitable replacement for another brand's gingerbread seasonal which I wasn't able to find last year. The stevia really didn't work for me. I rarely add sweetener to my teas, and definitely prefer to control how much goes in. I also felt that this tea would have been better served by a chicory base rather than the rooibos.
This tea is outrageously good! I have ordered it twice and plan to keep ordering it, as long as they make it. It is the perfect amount of spice with a hint of vanilla. LOVE!
Really nice, sweet tea. It definitely gives me “dessert vibes”! I only wish it packed a bit more spice flavor.
Why is it necessary to add a sweetener in the tea bag ? Why not let the customer sweeten their own tea ? I can’t tolerate Stevia which you have added now it’s destined for the trash. Major disappointment.
It’s a classic for Christmas and it’s one of my favorite!
I am writing this for my husband as you'll never get him to give a review. ?? We bought this at a shop and he was hooked. He only drinks decaffeinated so this is perfect. He can't believe how much flavor the tea has and that he can use the teabag more than once. We have already ordered 2 refill bags and got on your delivery system so we won't run out. Our order came in a timely manner as well. He wants to try out other teas now. ??
W We first started drinking this tea hot when it came out as "Gingerbread Cookies" this past winter. My husband loves to drink his tea cold, and so we tried it iced. He loved it! It was so exciting to see that we can get it all year long as "Gingerbread Cuppa Cake". We use one tea bag for every cup, so I place 4 bags into a 4-cup Pyrex glass measuring pitcher and add boiled water. I let it sit for a few hours and when cool enough, fill up previously filled glass tea bottles that we recycle and rewash for future teas.
I have always loved tea with ginger, so I decided to give this one a try. My whole family is in love with its rich, warm flavors.
This was one of my favorite teas. I say "was" because while the flavors are amazing, I think I had a reaction to one of the ingredients. My tongue felt really raw for almost a month. I decided to hold off on drinking this tea just to see if that may have been the cause, and it cleared up pretty fast. This is the first time I've ever had any sort of reaction to tea. To this day, I'm still not sure what ingredient caused it, but I'm steering clear. This is unfortunate because I love gingerbread flavors and had been drinking this tea multiple times daily (I was feeling festive). If you love gingerbread, I'd recommend this tea.
One pod transforms a cup or pot of black tea into a sumptuous realm of flavor! I love this much more than pumpkin spice tea. This one is so much richer in flavor!
The stevia makes this tea too sweet and adds an unwanted flavor. Too bad, because otherwise, I think the gingerbread tea might be delicious.
I've been searching for a really good gingerbread tea as the Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread tea is bought was just okay. This has a richer gingerbread taste and the warming spices in it are lovely. Unfortunately, I was expecting a bit MORE gingerbread flavor from my favorite tea purveyors, The Republic of Tea. I do like it but it could be better.
Definitely for a cold winters night with a little dessert, and definitely for the sweet tooth. This tastes as close to gingerbread as I've ever come across, but it does seem like it's missing a little something. I add a little creamer and it makes it all better. Would recommend.
This gingerbread tea is so delicious. I love that theres no caffeine so I can enjoy at night before I go to sleep. I would only buy at Republic of Tea. These guys know what they're doing!!
This tea goes great with desserts, and does have some sweetness, but it has a really nicely balanced ginger(bread) flavor. The name makes it sounds like it would be too much, or not enough ginger, but it's actually great.
I liked the flavor, it just seemed like it needed a little something more. It's still good though! I haven't tried anything I haven't liked yet and I haven't needed to sweeten anything either.
I did enjoy the Gingerbread Cuppa Cake tea because gingerbread is something I love every holiday season. The combination of warm spices is comforting and very good. I would've given this tea "five teapots" but the gingerbread taste wasn't as strong as I expected and wanted.
This tea was fabulous! I made the Ginger Bread Cookie recipe using the tea that came in my Republic of Tea catalog - they were so great - and even better drinking a cup of the Ginger Bread tea with the cookies!!!
This is my favorite caffeine-free tea! I buy in bulk and drink it year round. Who say Gingerbread is only for winter? :)
I add a couple of drops of Stevia to enjoy the perfect calorie-free dessert! Yum!
Although the holiday season has inevitably come and gone, R of T's invitingly spicy Gingerbread Cuppa Cake tea makes it possible to evoke that festive yuletide ambiance year round! Featuring an appropriately cheery red rooibos base accompanied by intoxicating cinnamon, ginger and vanilla notes to tickle your tastebuds and satisfy your sweet tooth, this cozy, comforting cup of wonderfully-inspiring brew reminds one with its rich aromatic splendor and deep-down warmth that the Christmas spirit can remain within us even as we approach the long countdown to yet another joyful December.
This is my go to feel good tea! Sooths the stomach, and the soul!
Add cream and enjoy!
This tea is a wonderful addition to my holiday tea drinking. Drinking it reminds me of building gingerbread houses as a child, but with a more refined adult-level flavor. It has the right amount of gingery flavor without being overwhelming and the caffeine free trait of rooibos makes it an excellent tea when I wind down for bed.
I enjoy the flavor of ginger! This one does not disappoint!!
I loved the warm spices used to make this my Favorite holiday blend I treat and a comfort, since it's been cold !
Really like this tea. Would like to see it in a refill size so I don't have so many cans to throw away.
I enjoy this tea each winter season. Love it's sweet flavor. It is like drinking a guilt free dessert.
I thought was ok; a nice tea for the upcoming winter/holiday season. Maybe not the best of the desert teas I've had over the various years but enjoyable nonetheless. And it does make me in the mood for winter & the holiday season. A nice hot cup of this helps relax me….& also keep me nice & warm when things get cold lol :)
I like this this is a caffeine free tea. The cinnamon spices on top of the rooibos tea are very pleasant. The flavor does somewhat remind me of gingerbread. If added sweetener matters to you, be aware that this tea is already sweetened with stevia.
I had to use five tea bags to taste this, and it was good, but it's just not the best value.
Gingerbread can taste so different depending on how you consume it or who makes it…. Sometimes too spiced and gingery for me. This is perfectly yummy and actually reminds me of my absolute favorite cookie, a speculoos cookie. I've had it with both a splash of vanilla creamer and soy milk with a little honey- awesome either way.
One of my favorite evenings tea. Love it with a splash of cream.
This is a yummy treat sort of a tea. Nice strong ginger flavor. I like it. My tea drinking friend loves it too.
I love this tea! I almost didn't try it because every other gingerbread tea I've ever had was just too strong and spicy, but I'm so glad I gave this one a try! It's absolutely delicious and has seriously become my new favorite. (Cinnamon Vanilla is still my other favorite!) I swear I sometimes just stop to sniff it even if I'm not preparing a cup! Lol But it tastes fantastic. It tastes like gingerbread but also still tastes like tea. It does have stevia but it's not overwhelming. I generally add a very small amount of Demerara sugar to my teas and when I do that with this one I don't notice the stevia taste. I usually brew 6 oz. with one tea bag and drink it on its own. It's a perfect end to a quiet evening or a nice soother after a crazy day at work. I've also done it as an afternoon tea latte, brewing two teabags in about 9 oz. of water and adding a little milk. It's fantastic both ways. The tin also scores points for its cozy fall/winter image. I just can't say enough about this tea! I love it!
This was my first time having roobios tea. Very interesting. With the similar flavor notes in this tea, it reminds me of my favorite chai that I love to drink in the Winter. And nothing completes one of my favorite Winter drinks like brown sugar & a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. This tea was no exception. Yum!
Great cup to warm you up on a cold night
Cozy and warm for cuddling-up season — but surprisingly good iced, too. I make sure I have it in my tea rack all year.
This is one of my favorite teas. It's delicious on a cold winter evening with honey and a few ginger snaps.
I wanted to like this tea but I just don't. In fact, I've tried it on two orders because I liked the idea of gingerbread. Just a strange flavor that I do not care for. YMMV
I love gingerbread tea, but it's very hard to find. This is the only company I found that sells it regularly and makes a great tasting product, like drinking a gingerbread cookie.
I was really impressed by this tea, its flavor perfectly encapsulates fall and winter and it has a great natural sweetness to it. Adding some cream really accentuates it, would definitely order again!
A good tea with not overpowering gingerbread flavor and a hint of sweetness
This tea is like having a warm liquid gingerbread hug! It's delicious, not too sweet but sweet enough not to need sweetening ( but I love it with honey/sugar) and heavy cream. Yum! It's almost a meal! And Customer Service is also outstanding at The Republic of Tea. Thank you Minister and TerriðŸ™ðŸ»â£ï¸
I love this tea so much that I bought it again in bulk!
My daughter gave me this tea without telling me what it was, I tried it and thought it was a pumpkin spiced tea. Once she told me it was gingerbread I could tell that's what the flavor was supposed to be. Regardless it tastes great and would order again.
Enjoyed it a lot
This tea really does the taste of gingerbread.
This is my second time reordering. I like the flavor and the texture of this tea. Definitely one I like to have as a sweet treat without feeling guilty!
This tea is delicious. The ginger is just right, and the vanilla does make it taste subtly like a cake or cookie. I may even like it better than the Bridgeton Ginger Biscuit tea, which has a stronger and more earthy flavor because of the pepper.
Flavors abound and delight your senses. The aroma takes you back to childhood sentiments. What a treat and dessert.
Although I love this delicious, spiced herbal tea any time of the year, it always reminds me of baking cookies and building gingerbread houses over the winter holidays.
I love this tea, it's by far the best flavored tea I've had in a long time, and it smells like the holidays all year round. I am hooked, so I had to buy it in bulk size. Highly recommend the Gingerbread teas.
I prefer black teas.
I am new to drinking hot tea and this has been one of my favorites. I with the slight sweetness, it is like dessert in a cup. It is perfect for a cool winter day.
I'm obsessed with ginger and gingerbread, I've tasted many different gingerbread teas and this is by far the best. It's not a very spicy ginger but it really tastes like a gingerbread cookie - and even better when mixed with a bag of spicy ginger tea. I've re-ordered
I wanted to love this but it doesn't taste like gingerbread to me.
Very yummy tea, especially with honey. Like drinking desert!
I did not think this teas was overwhelmingly "ginger," however, I think that is a good thing! I like to serve it hot with a bit of liquid creamer and sugar, and it is like sipping on a dessert all morning. So, so good! Beat my favorite Chocolate Strawberry Cuppa Tea < 3
I thought this was really good only had hot but enjoyed tastes like chai
I wanted to love this tea because I truly love gingerbread, but I didn't. The cinnamon and ginger were overpowered by the vanilla flavor. It is ok as a tea, but just not reminiscent of gingerbread for me.
HAS THE BEST FLAVOR
Although I did not love this tea, I do think true gingerbread lovers will like this for the holidays. I guess I was hoping for something spicy in a more chai like way. I was a big fam of samurai chai from another brand before it was discontinued and thought with the notes it would be similar. I will continue on my quest.
If you have a sweet tooth this tea may satisfy you without any sugar load. It's sweet, gingery and vanilla-ry, and just plain good!
Ig's a good tea. It smells great. I expected more of a sharper ginger flavor, but it's still good. Full disclosure being I drink my tea plain and keep the teabag in to help make the flavors stronger. It's sweet, and a nice dessert tea to quench a sweet tooth craving.
I bought this as a replacement for another similar tea that was only available seasonally. It is delicious. I will likely switch to keeping this one stocked in my pantry, as it is available year round.
I have to agree that this tea does taste like ginger beer! I personally like it! It's like ginger bread and apple cider flavors combined. Very cozy and warm. I love it for the Fall season especially :)
I seriously LOVE this tea! It's like having a sweet treat to sip throughout the day without the calories. I add a cinnamon stick to my travel mug for a little extra spice, but even on its own, it's has a warming spiciness and sweetness that I crave every day. I have A LOT of teas from here, but for the winter, this is my current go-to.
Overall the gingerbread tea is very yummy. I think it would be better with the omission of the stevia, but the stevia in this flavor isn't overpowering.
This was a new one for us, and it smells wonderful.
This tea truly is like a taste of nice warm gingerbread - sweet and spicy. The flavor balance is just right, not overwhelming, but just right for me.
Love it!
Love the rich, gingerbread aroma. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the stevia, but other than that it's a nice tea.
Gingerbread is one of my all-time favorite seasonal treats, so I was very excited to try this tea. It is tasty, however, it doesn't have the strong gingerbread flavors I'd hoped for. It also has a sweetener added to it which I'm not terribly fond of (I feel that sometimes they can overpower the other flavors.)
I have been ordering from Republic of Tea for several years now and have tried a variety of their products and their quality of teas has always been excellent; however, the moment I tried this tea I was instantly in love and hooked. I honestly don't understand some of the negative reviews this has; it not only smells good, but it tastes absolutely delicious, and the 'ginger bread' flavor is spot on! It literally tastes like I am biting into a gingerbread cookie with every sip. I like to drink it hot and leave the tea bag in there while I drink. Not only does it make the tea taste strong and even more delicious, but the aroma it exudes is just delightful. Its the perfect dessert-like tea to enjoy as a daily treat on and off the holidays. I'm already purchasing it in bulk as 36 tea bags is simply not enough for me. Even better that it is caffeine-free. This hands down is the best tea I have tasted from here so far and I 1000% recommend it.
I was looking forward to a ginger flavor tea. It has been years since I tried one of your teas with rooibos. I was reminded of why I dislike this ingredient. Although others may not feel the same way, I think it tastes like dirt. I could not detect a bit of ginger flavor. Thank you for allowing me to return it for a flavor I already know I like.
Gingerbread is a family favorite that everyone enjoys. Warm and cozy especially for the little ones.
🎠Bought this for the guys, who rarely drink tea, but will try this 1. Hope they save the tin for my collection 🧑ðŸ»â€ðŸŽ„🧑ðŸ»â€ðŸŽ„
If you want to get into that Holiday Frame of Mind, just brew up a cup of this tasty treat. All the smells, spices and holiday memories will come roaring back when you brew up Gingerbread Cuppa! The aroma reminds me of grandma's kitchens baking gingerbread men during the Holidays. I like to curl up next to the fire with a cup of it and breathe in the aroma while sipping. Enjoy!
I was so pleasantly surprised with the sweet flavor of this tea. Winter is when I most enjoy the Gingerbread flavor. This tea pair so nicely with dessert. I top it off with whipped cream. I believe tea is an experience. I so enjoy the treasure when I have friend visit and stare a cup of this delicious tea. Gingerbread Cuppa Cake will be a favorite for years to come. I know this will be at may grands first tea party. Currently she is only 17 months old, but the future tea parties are in the dreams. I want her to enjoy the taste of tea that inspires the tastebuds. Gingerbread, delightful is not a big enough word.
I really hope this tea stays for longer than just the holiday season! It's the perfect cozy, relaxing cup for evenings, with no caffeine. The gingerbread flavor is mild, so there is no 'ginger heat' in this, just a lovely, flavorful cup. It does not get bitter, even if you leave the bag in your cup and then have to reheat the cup in the microwave (it's the holidays and I get distracted frequently!) I highly recommend you give this a try.
I love this tea . It's not strong at all . Perfect amount of flavor .
This one is just okay for me. It isn't quite what I was hoping for, but is still tasty. It smells very nice. It doesn't really remind me of a gingerbread cookie the way I was hoping that it would.
We love gingerbread and this is such a nice way to enjoy the flavor
Is a nice spice flavor. Warms me up on a cold day. My daughter recommended I get it.
Super yummy! I ONLY wish there was a bit more molasses and ginger flavor to it.
This gingerbread tea is delicious and suble. I enjoy drinking it on a cold, rainy day with a little bit of honey.
I love this tea! I love that it is caffeine free so I can indulge at night without worrying about it keeping me up. I love the flavor and smell of it. A true indulgence!!
This Gingerbread cuppa cake tea is delicious. I don't even use sweetener. It is a perfect after dinner tea. I just opened my third canister. This is one of my favorites!
Sweet Cinnamon taste left after drinking this tea. Love it.
The gingerbread flavor is pretty subtle but still very good!
Just opened this tin on my last camping trip - love the flavor - I found I did not need as much sweetener, Tea had a wonderful flavor reminiscent of Gingerbread
This is one of my favorite "Cuppa Cakes" tea! The gingerbread flavor is smooth; and the smell of it brewing reminds me of winter, family and holidays. Sometimes I add a little caramel or vanilla syrup to it to make it even more delicious.
I thought this one was a little lacking compared to some of the other flavors I've ordered, but not bad. Nice and around Christmas time
You could make it pop with a dash of caramel or maple extract.
It did not taste like gingerbread at all.
This is one of the best holiday teas. The flavor is spot on :)
This is my new favorite tea. I drink several cups day. When I throw in a little milk and stevia it's like guilt free dessert.
An unusual smell at first, I thought. The flavor,however, is fantastic!
Last year I tried to buy all there were!!! This year I ordered early. This tea is my dessert. Love it.
Takes like hot cough syrup.
I drink a lot of teas, and often try different 'flavors', of all the teas I have gotten from RoT, which is quite few, this one takes the 'cake'! It is so rich in flavor that it almost seems creamy, and it's just the regular texture of tea. I use about 2 tsp of powdered monk fruit in all my teas (just because I like that added sweetness). Well worth giving this a try, I was pleasantly surprised! I had gotten it from a promotion and had not tried it for a while, so glad I did!
I love it when I'm wanting a dessert - this is actually just as satisfying! And better for you!
Great ginger and spice flavor
Has an aroma that I found a little unpleasant, but it disappears with brewing and the taste is great! Add some whipped cream!
Have been drinking Republic of Tea for several years. this is one of my favorites
This is one of my favorite holiday teas. Everyone loves Gingerbread, well gingerbread tea is the tops! I like it alone, but it's also good with vanilla creamer. It is great for any time of day. I highly recommend trying this tea!
Arrived faster than expected
This tea was very tasty! Love Gingerbread!
The vanilla flavor overwhelmed the ginger flavor.
The boy likes it hot and so do I.
First time I actually tried this brand and this flavor of tea. I was actually getting a sugar craving and notice there was this gingerbread tea, gluten free and sugar free. Im glad i bought this! Tastes good! warm, cozy drink 😊
(or religious) but this tea tastes exactly like Christmas.
Gingerbread is a like Christmas in a cup, fantastic with a breakfast pastry or toast!
I love ginger and gingerbread, in almost any form, so this tea is great when I need a gingerbread decaf warm-up or iced and even frozen into popsicles, when I need a gingerbread deaf cool down. It's also a good beverage to satisfy and delight most visitors.
What a treat!
This tea is good and it tastes like a cookie! My favorite cuppa cake tea so far.
I love this rooibos tea--it really feels like a "Christmas treat." The ginger, cinnamon and vaniilla work well to create a warm, fragrant cup of tea. It's great with a bit of milk as well.
This tea is just cozy—from the aroma to the flavor, its ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla elements combine to make my heart happy!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE TEA EVER. Did you get that? I am into, calm yourself down. take a deep breath. Stop the madness, get focused. Be happy. This is where I go when I drink this stuff. I even put it in the iced tea mixes. Is there a twelve step program for this? Great gingerbread flavor.
I got this one in the Christmas tin. Its good but not my favorite dessert teas
I love this tea. It totally puts you in the holiday spirit even when it's 100 degrees outside.
The Gingerbread tea is the perfect after dinner tea that allows me to feel like I'm treating myself to dessert without the calories or caffeine to go with it! Love it!
I love this tea in the evening with a splash of heavy cream. Very tasty! I find that a shorter steeping time is essential to keep this from tasting like stevia which isn't my personal preference.
I drink all my tea plain - no milk or sugar. I noticed that the gingerbread tea tastes particularly sweet. Great mix of spices.
This tea is okay. It does, however, have an artificial taste to it. Maybe it's better if you add sweetener and/or milk?
I like that the tea comes in it's own little recyclable canister and there's no tea bag wrappers to put in landfills.
With a splash of milk and a little sugar-free caramel syrup, this tea becomes a luscious treat Prepared like this, it is a true spice-cake with caramel frosting taste experience.
I buy this tea every fall/winter, and always look forward to it. It's a bit sweet, but not too much so. Just a perfect replacement for a ginger/cinnamon-type dessert.
I love the Ginger Bread tea, the aroma is awesome. Just enough of the ginger bread taste to keep me out of the cookie jar!
Pleased with great customer service. All products have been good.
I found this tea to have an odd flavor, one that I can't quite place. Didn't taste like gingerbread at all as I was expecting.
I don't know what I was expecting, but this isn't it. Wanted a gingerbread flavor, but this is heavily vanilla and definitely not "my cup of tea". I tried everything to make it palatable, including honey and a splash of milk, but nothing helped. Just intensely dislike the flavor.
Bland. Not very interesting.
This is my favorite tea to drink warm. The aroma is wonderful and the taste is beyond expectation. Wonderful tea!
I could have done without the Stevia.
This is my favorite tea and I am heartbroken that I can no longer afford it since I live on a fixed income. This latest price increase has left me in the dust So sad!
This tea has a lovely spice flavor that is delicious with a splash of oat milk. Curl up with this lovely combination and a good holiday movie!
I should've listened to the review that warned this tastes and smells nothing like gingerbread. I was expecting a cake-like taste with a kick of ginger. It was gross and was like drinking warn ginger ale with some spice. Republic of Tea -- please start offering samplers of ALL your teas. I've bought several teas from your company that I hated, and it's so frustrating to not be able to sample them first before wasting $12-$15 on a full tin. And the return policy is a joke, because customers have to pay for return shipping (which costs almost as much as the tea). Please stand by your teas and offer full refunds and shipping. Returning this tea was a really disappointing experience.
The idea sounded good but it was way too sweet and had a bit of a chemical aftertaste. I'm disappointed because it's the first tea I've purchased from here that I didn't like. My husband will drink it since he doesn't mind the sweetness.
The sole complaint is that the tin did not contain more than 36 bags, but perhaps this is a seasonal tea rule? I LOVE it! Smells and tastes INCREDIBLE!!
The Gingerbread Tea has a good flavor overall, however, I would not have purchased it if I had realized that it has stevia in it. I just don't like the flavor/aftertaste. Others I have served it to have really enjoyed it.
I loved this one! I used 4 tea bags in about 16 oz of water. I heated my water with my electric kettle. It felt like I was dropped into a small town during christmas to save my family's christmas tree farm while I fell in love with local hunky man (aka a Hallmark christmas movie). I did add honey but i might do a little less next time since it was already sweetened with stevia.
This is my first ever rooibos tea, and I really like it! It's perfect for chilly mornings. As I take a sip, the first thing that hits me is the cinnamon. There is one thing I don't like about it though: After the initial taste of cinnamon, all of the sweetness hits you at once. Eventually, it just tastes like pure vanilla and leaves a sweet coating in the mouth. I found that that hit of sweetness is lessened by letting the tea get a bit cold. Overall, this tea is super delicious but it might be a bit too sweet for some people.
The tea isn't bad but the dominate flavor is the rooibos rather than the gingerbread spices. Being familiar with the strength of the ginger flavor in other varieties like the Orange Ginger Mint this one was a bit of a disappointment.
Peppermint bark these tea is Amazing Republic of tea did it again it taste so good since I got it I have not stop drinking it I will by it in bulk
Such a warm and cozy flavor absolutely delish!
This is my husband's favorite caffeine free tea. We were happy to see that it was still available because usually it is only in stock during the holidays. We hope that it continues to be available year round.
I tried this tea during the holidays and now it's my favorite. I bought some in bulk since it is listed as seasonal. I drink a cup at night as a treat because it has no caffeine.
This tea is amazing hot or cold. I love it as much as my British Breakfast tea although it is very different. Try it and I believe you will enjoy it as much as I do. Warm, sensual, calming Gingerbread flavor. It is my everday go-to tea.
Like this tea. Smells & tastes like fresh gingerbread fresh from the oven.
This is my second order for the tea, I ordered it last Fall too. I like the flavor, so like Christmas, and Thanksgiving with each sip.
I've had Gingerbread tea before with natural ingredients like beet bits to make it taste like a real gingerbread cookie. By adding Stevia, this tea is too sweet. If I want sugar, I'll add it myself. Please revised your recipe. My favorite is your Caramel Apple.
Just like gingerbread!! Great iced in the summertime, too.
Well, we picked this up locally during the holiday season, and literally went through it in 2 weeks as it was a HUGE hit in our family! Some like it iced, some like it hot, but we ALL LOVE IT! So, I went into full panic mode when the holidays passed and ordered the big bulk bag, and we're now on our second bag! It is the best tea! Dont hesitate to go big!
It is a bit light so look to steep longer with next cup.
I grew up with traditional Roobois and was a little skeptical about this, but it is the BEST tea I've ever had in my life. It is smooth, creamy, amazing flavor, and just makes me so excited to steep and drink a cup.
For the past four months, I've been off sugar--even the "no-calorie" sweeteners. So I was delighted with the flavor and natural sweetness of this tea. I drink it with a bit of cashew milk, and I'm very content.
It's back to work after the holiday, but winter is still here. I brought my new can of Gingerbread Cuppa Cake tea to add to my Wall O Tea (it is a thing) at work. Today is my first time trying it and I have to say it is so nice to drink a warm cup of delicious tea as the snow is falling down outside. The ginger is not overpowering, allowing the cinnamon to shine though. The sweetness from the vanilla really brings that cake flavor to light. It reminded me of having tea and soup at a little cafe in Grasmere near the famous Gingerbread shop.
Love the taste, the gingerbread is not over powering. Will buy again.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this one is not one I would get again. It's an okay cup of tea, but the taste doesn't appeal to me, though I intend to keep drinking it.
I purchased this simply because of its name. It is lovely tea!
This is the best tea. It is like a warm cup of vanilla cinnamon. I bought the tin, then the refill pack, and am now watching to see when I can re-order this "seasonal" goody!
Such a warm comforting flavorful tea! It's only the beginning of March and I have to wait till September to taste it again. ?? It should be available year round!
This is quite simply the most flavorful tea I've ever tasted. I grew up eating gingersnaps and drinking Caribbean ginger beer, and this tea reminds me of ginger beer. It is a powerful combination of ginger and spice and may not be for someone who dislikes strong flavored teas. However if you are a ginger fan then I would recommend this tea. All it needs is a tad bit of sweetener and I am in heaven. No milk needed.
Love this tea--full bodied and satisfying, especially with a bit of milk.
This is such a satisfying tea! The warmth of the gingerbread, when paired with a dash of milk and sweetener, is more like a dessert than drink. Thank goodness it's available year-round.
The aroma of the tea is what initially sold me! It reminds me of a gingerbread or almost a pumpkin-like bread fresh out of the oven. It is a warm and cozy treat on cold days at the office when I need a little mental break! It has just enough ginger and cinnamon spice but is balanced nicely by the vanilla and a touch of sweetness. I absolutely LOVE this tea for Fall and Winter! It would make a fantastic stocking stuffer for a tea-lover, too.
This tea is one of my favorites. Solves the craving for gingerbread that I regularly have this time of year! Does not even remotely remind me of ginger beer (as another reviewer suggested); it's gingerbread in a cup! Delicious!
This is my favorite tea currently and I think they knocked it out of the park with this one. This is the flavor of the holiday season, gingery warm and sweet without being actually sweet.
If you love gingerbeer this is the tea for you. Tastes nothing like gingerbread. Ton of ginger..smells carbonated. I had everyone at my holiday party smell the tea, and almost everyone agreed it smelled like a carbonated drink (popular answers were coke and gingerbeer). Not unpleasant, just nothing like gingerbread. Just one note, I drink my teas plain, no idea what it tastes like with sugar or cream.
I sampled this tea on a 20 degree morning after running errands in the cold for a couple of hours. It was a wonderful experience. The tea has a creamy soft feel to the mouth and the flavors are blended so well that you don't realize that the tea has multiple things going on. Just a great hot beverage, for a very cold season.
I'm always iffy about these cuppa cake teas, because they're usually so sweet that I end up not liking them. This was the case with the gingerbread tea as well. I was hoping for the taste you get in a gingerbread cookie, but you're really left feeling like you're drinking sugar water, with some hints of flavor that don't develop into the gingerbread flavor.
This is my very favorite Fall/Winter tea by Republic of Tea. I order a LOT of tea from them but, so far, this is one I come back to again & again. If you haven't tried it, please do so....THE BEST! I can't live without two cups full every morning....YUM! I love their Ginger Peach for my iced tea but, when the weather is cooler, this one is GREAT!
I really enjoy this tea, and I was not happy when it was discontinued. Thank you for bringing it back for the holidays. Please bring it back every year so I can stock up. I love it with unsweetened almond milk. The ginger and other flavors make it perfect for warming up on a chilly day. And I like that it's a little bit sweet but not too sweet.
I got this as a sample in a catalog and was a little nervous at first because I am not a fan of ginger. I gave it a try anyway and put the bag in a cup. When I poured the hot water over it, I was immediately taken in by the scent and hen I drank it with a bit of sugar in the raw, I had to come here and get more. It is delicious and when I read about the health benefits, I was even more interested. Thank you for the sample. It's the best way to get customers.
I was a bit nervous to buy this tea as I've had bad gingerbread tea mixes in the past that just taste like cheap tea with too much fake flavoring over the top. This one, is complex and delightful. Taste reminds me of the yummy gingerbread lattes at the big coffee chain. Makes a delicious tea latte. Thank you Republic of Tea!
I was fully expecting just another ginger tea when I purchased this, wow was I wrong! This tea does indeed taste like gingerbread. It's the perfect balance of cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla. It smells like the holidays, although I have a feeling I'll be drinking this tea year round.
We found this tea two years ago and didn't realize it was seasonal at the time. Last fall I bought up big and gave several tins to my husband for Christmas. I'll buy more this year as well. I wish it was sold in bulk!
First of all, I cannot believe that this is discontinued. I get that it may be a seasonal offering but this tea is perfection. Warm, sweet, aromatic, slightly sweet and just a pleasure to drink. I make it buy the pitcher for a refreshing drink during the day and serve it warm for a nice treat after dinner. I really hope this tea will return.
This is a wonderful tea. It tastes like ginger snaps and is warm and comforting. I love a cup each night before bed. It reminds me of Christmas and cozy winter nights. My only complaint is that it is offered as 36 in the tin only. So I've had to stock up.
Surprisingly sweet and luscious - without any of the bitterness or negative aftertaste teas like this (ginger, roobois or teas trying to mimic sweets) sometimes have. A definite recommendation.
In theory, this is like "Dream by the Fire" with some added ginger, which I am all for. In reality, the stevia totally eclipses the ginger, and leaves an unpleasant taste that I just couldn't love. If you love stevia, give it a try, but if you're like me go for the older blend and just add some ginger yourself.
