Reviews for HiCAF® Cinnamon Toast Black Tea Bags

Stevia and too much tannins
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

This tea contains stevia, which imo gives things a strange flavor. It also made me sick to my stomach, so for me it needs to be consumed with milk. Not for me, but if you don't mind stevia you might like it.

Not the best
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I got a sample of this tea in my last order and I wanted to love it. All I could taste in the cup was stevia. I don’t mind a small amount of stevia in something but this was stevia overload. I missed the taste of the tea!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is my go to when I haven't had a good night's sleep. It also tastes great. I keep it stocked in my cabinet and am sure to order more when I run low. I'm not a coffee drinker, so it's great to have another source of caffeine.

Hi-caf indeed!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

While my favorite of the hi-caf varieties is the roasted coconut one, my sweet-loving son-in-law absolutely loves this one. He doesn´t care for the bitter notes in coffee and wants to get away from Coke and the likes, so he drinks this all day long to stay sharp. I keep it in stock for whenever the family visits, and he usually takes some along when they leave again.

A night owl's best friend
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

My favorite drink after pulling an all-nighter, this tea wakes me up without giving me the jitters the way coffee does. The cinnamon taste isn't overwhelming the way some spiced teas can be, and the stevia leaf sweetens it just enough I don't feel the need to add sugar.

Best Hi-Caff
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is the best hi-caff tea. It doesn’t have the twang that some of them have, and it stands on its on even compared to the regular black teas, which generally have a better flavor (but I need the extra caffeine in the morning).

My Absolute Favorite Tea by Republic of Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I keep this Tea stocked in my pantry. I keep ordering more even if I haven't run out. This is by far my favorite Tea made by Republic of Tea. The cinnamon and toasted rice flavors are lovely, and the extra boost of caffeine does the trick everytime I need some extra energy. I've started to drink half a cup before going to the gym. Goes soooo good with breakfast and pastries. Highly recommend.

This was one of the first teas I tried from RoT and it remains one of my favorites. I'm a huge cinnamon fan and back before I became all Mr. Healthy lol Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite cereal.

Also bonus points cuz it's a high caffiene flavor and just yes. Which pssst pssst there needs to be more high caffiene flavors plz and thank you.

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

This is an ingenious and amazing product. Cinnamon was the first high caffeine flavor I’ve tried so far, this time I’m trying the coconut. The only reason I left one star off is because the stevia could be a little less prominent.

I buy loads of tea from many different vendors, but the HiCaf Cinnamon Tea is my absolute favorite flavor of all time. In fact, my whole family loves it! So yummy!

So Delish!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love this tea! I am trying to cut down on my sugar (I need a lot in my coffee) during the week so I am drinking this as iced tea each day. I get a TON of complements when people catch a whiff of it. I pair it with ROT pumpkin spice tea, too. Fantastic! I get my biggest quart pot, fill it to the top, 3 cinnamon bags and 2 pumpkin spice bags; yum! I bring to a boil, drop in bags and turn it off. I even add a heaping spoon of honey. I use a 24 ounce cup each day, this lasts me about 4 days. And, let's be honest, by Friday tea just won't do, I need coffee to get through that day! I love this tea!

I was really looking Forward to a high caffeine tea that tasted good, ad I found out last month that I am allergic to coffee. ??

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Honestly, I don't buy the hi caf teas for their flavor so much as the caffeine boost. I've bought many of the Republic's teas because I love all the different flavors, but the hi-caf teas just don't taste quite as good to me. That said, this is my favorite. It has a pleasantly sweet taste and I like that I can still get my morning caffeine. (I always use two tea pods at a time, but I use a big mug.)

My New and Permanent Favorite Daily Tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I'm a coffee gal, but I do enjoy the occasional cup of tea. When I received a sample of HiCAF Cinnamon Toast Black Tea, I tried it right away and LOVED it! This is strong, cinnamon-y tea. I ordered more right away. I use one bag in one cup of water. I then add half a cup of tea to my cup of coffee which results in a very caffeinated coffee/tea concoction that tastes cinnamon-y and wonderful, especially with a bit of heavy cream. I use the leftover half cup of tea and add that to my 'work coffee' so that I'm awake & alert at work.

I have not had a TRoT that I didn’t enjoy. I received this one in a sample with an order. The cinnamon and sweet flavors are subtle, but that didn’t bother me.

I’m glad I didn’t commit to the whole tin.

I haven’t found a lot of teas with cinnamon in them that I really enjoy. Often, they get too bitter or they’re too subtle to really notice. This one, however, hits the balance right in the middle.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love the way this tea feels (as well as the other hi-caff teas). It's a very smooth awakening feeling that I use on mornings of short sleep. It makes me feel like I got a full nights rest even when I didn't. To me, coffee makes my body feel awake, but my brain is still practically asleep. This tea wakes both the body and the mind for a much clearer start to the day

Very strong and bitter
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I saw another review where the person stated it was a chore to drink a whole cup, and I think that is the most accurate statement regarding this tea. I have attempted to drink this tea twice, and today is my third attempt. I am struggling to get through this one. This tea is incredibly strong tasting and bitter. I have had other things with Stevia and I don't think that is what's causing the bitterness. I don't find it artificial tasting like others have, but it is definitely odd. I think the black tea and cinnamon are just too much together. I typically don't add sweeteners to my tea, but I might try this with some honey to see if it can be redeemed.

The amount of stevia wasn't too sweet, and the caffeine flavor most of the hicaf black teas have is mostly covered by it. However, this really doesn't taste like cinamon toast, more like something between apple cider and apple pie. Its okay overall, definitely not bad.

Too sweetened on its own
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I had read other comments saying that the sweetener made this flavor off-putting, so I decided to try it just from the traveler size. I'm glad I did, as it is a little odd and a bit cloying on its own. However, if you brew it with a sachet of chai spiced tea, it helps relax the sweetness to a much more pleasant level. If I get this again, I'll only order it paired up with a good chai so I can keep doing that. Without the sweetener, I think this would be quite lovely, with a good kick of energy.

I received this tea as a sample and WOW it is delicious! It's not cinnamon-y like an atomic fireball candy or the cinnamon-flavored whiskies out there, it's more reminiscent of the cinnamon-sugar that my grandmother used to sprinkle onto my toast when I was a child. It's sweet, but not overly so. There is a lot of caffeine, so this tea is good for those days when you need a little extra kick to get going. I've actually made 8 ounces of this tea and paired it with 8 ounces of coffee in a tumbler - that'll keep you awake & alert for some time!

Okay but way too artificially sweet
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

Overall the "tea" flavor is fine and don't really notice a caffeine "boost" (considering it's HICAF). What I don't like is how ridiculously artificially sweet this tea is (plus lingering aftertaste). I think it ruins the flavor. It could be cut back by half easily. I'm buying tea and that should be listed in the description. It is in the ingredients so that's on me I guess... I can't finish it.

Admittedly I haven't tried all of the other flavors, but this is definitely my favorite. It doesn't taste artificial at all, and the cinnamon flavor is amazing.

My stomach is happier and my taste buds are thrilled. Highest quality, easy to order, seamless delivery, and dancing tastebuds in a Republic of Tea mug. What could be better?

Does NOT taste as expected
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I didn't get the flavor of cinnamon toast at all. No toast, no cinnamon. I tasted apple fruity spice. The flavor itself wasn't bad, it just wasn't at all expected from the tea name. After the first sip, I looked at the ingredients and realized why it tasted fruity and spicy. And then I pitched the rest of the cup due to my stevia allergy. Didn't expect stevia in this flavor. I love most RoT teas... Not this one.

Stevia kills it
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I got a sample quite a while back and thought I enjoyed it, so when I recently got a chance to get another sample I chose it. This one is cloyingly aspartame-like sweet, complete with the aspartame aftertaste. The stevia added as sweetener is too much and ruins it. I found it undrinkable. Why are we not allowed to sweeten teas to the level and with the sweetener of our choice?

I purchased this tea to replace my morning coffee that I normally drink with flavored creamers. Cinnamon toast sounds delicious.

Great on a Rainy Day!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Albuquerque, New Mexico is not known for being a "rainy" place to live. In fact, we see more than 300 days each year of all-day sunshine. But when the rains (or snow) do arrive, there's a special longing to feel "comforted" with a cup of special tea. I've had the Hi-Caf Cinnamon Toast Black Tea Bags for a couple of weeks and hadn't yet even opened it to sniff. Today is the second "rainy, gloomy" day we've had this week. It was time to bring out the "comfort" tea, and Cinnamon Toast was my choice. The smell made me salivate and could hardly wait for it to steep enough. When it was ready, I let the taste roll around on my tongue, combined with the delicious smell. What a wonderful experience! I'll never be without this "soother" for days when I need a little extra TLC. Thanks TROT!

I CAN tell a boost of focus and energy with it, even on the days when work has given me little sleep. It IS better than coffee. And the flavor of this cinnamon is soooo good. This specific hot tea starts my day off GREAT. I highly recommend it, if you're looking for an extra umph on some days.

Turned me into a tea person!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been a heavy coffee drinker (3-5 cups a day) for many years, but recently coffee has been making me jittery and upsetting my stomach. I initially tried switching to regular teas but my caffeine tolerance is so high that they weren't really making me feel any less sleepy. I tried out several of the Hi Caf teas and WOW I am sold. They make me feel just as awake as my cup of coffee would, but in a much more pleasant way. Instead of feeling energized in mind-racing, jittery way like I sometimes would with coffee, this tea makes me feel awake and focused. Additionally, the cinnamon toast tea is my favorite tea I've ever tasted! I've never minded the taste of tea before, but I had never found a tea that I actively looked forward to drinking. This tea has a pretty strong flavor and tastes a lot like apple cider which I love! I tried three of the other Hi Caf tea flavors (pom-berry, coconut, and breakfast) and although all tasted decent, the cinnamon toast is by far my favorite. It does have stevia in it, but I have no issues with that and honestly think it adds a lot to the taste. Overall, this was such a good purchase, and it has officially converted me from a coffee drinker to a tea drinker!

Stimulating and spicy
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is by far the best-tasting of all the hi-caf teas the Republic offers and one of my favorites. It delivers a wake-up punch that beats coffee, along with a yummy cinnamon kick. Some sippers are bothered by the stevia, but I usually add a touch of stevia to my morning mug, so it saves me that step. I sometimes like to use one bag of hi-caf cinnamon and one bag of an unflavored black tea in a large mug for a more robust tea flavor.

Cinnamon-y zip
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered the traveler's tin size of this tea to try at first because I wasn't sure how it would go over. I am pretty sensitive to caffeine so this wouldn't be a tea I can drink every morning--that being said, I really liked the cinnamon toast flavor! I primarily had my boyfriend in mind, because he's a caffeine hound. He drinks multiple mugs of coffee throughout the day, he does like tea but it doesn't tend to have as much caffeine zip that he "needs". It went over great, he loves the flavor and he went through the samples so fast...he's has officially requested the large tin.

1 Bag Only
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

So I usually put two tea bags in my tea because I like my tea strong. That was a bad idea with this one. It created an extremely bitter aftertaste like eating pure cinnamon. I then tried it with one tea bag and it was much better. If you get that bitter aftertaste at all, just add some more water and eventually you'll find that point where it stops. I feel like this would be great with cream and maybe a little sugar as well, haven't tried that yet though.

When I made the tea, it smelled great, and the first sip was good, but after that I started to taste the stevia. It was awkwardly sweet and it just ruined the rest of the tea.

Coffee makes me jittery and this tea did not. Stevia turns my stomach and leaves an aftertaste. I think this would have been really great without the sweetness added. Everyone has their favorite sweeteners at home - do you really need to add it to a the tea?

Unsweetened version, please?
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Got a sample in my catalog. Great scent, nice taste if it weren't for the stevia, the extra caffeine is lovely. I'd absolutely buy this if I could just sweeten it (or not) myself.

Not as sweet as I was expecting
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed this tea, but I think I've been spoiled by the Downton Abbey Christmas blend and Breakfast blend, the chai, pumpkin spice, apple cider, etc. -- all of which I absolutely love. I like this, I just don't love it. I wonder if it would make good bulletproof tea since the addition of butter would make it seem more like cinnamon toast? Just a thought.

Could have been a 5 star but...
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I received this tea as a sample with the last catalog and was super excited to try it. I finally opened it up this rainy morning at work when I was starting to drag, and it smells SO good. I opted to try it without milk. This tea is sweet, mellow, and cinnamony, with a slight hint of apple cider flavors. It really boosted my energy without the jitters. The only thing that brings it down a star is the Stevia. There's an artificial aftertaste that lingers a bit, and I'd rather have plain tea that I could sweeten myself if desired, than one with a sweetener already in it. The plus side is, is that at least the stevia isn't one of those horrible artificial sweeteners that are snuck into basically every food item on the market anymore... It would definitely be a solid 5 star without the sweetener.

Coffee Replacement

Wow this stuff is great! Tastes just like mildly sweetened coffee! I can see this replacing my morning tall dark roast from that big coffee retailer.

Made me sick
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I got this as a sample in the catalogue (which was nice, I always love trying new things) but the amount of caffeine really made me sick. I felt nauseated and jittery for about an hour and could not even finish my tea. Also, the stevia in the tea makes it very sweet and I personally don't like to sweeten my teas. I'm a huge fan of ROTs Matcha Green tea, it gives me just enough "boost" to start my day. Moral of the story: if you're sensitive to caffeine, this might be too much for you.

Way too sweet
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I was super excited to try this tea that I received a sample of. Was looking for a caffeine boost after lunch on a rainy day so I made a cup. Good cinnamon toast flavor, but WAY TOO SWEET. I tried but I just couldn't choke it down. I loved the cinnamon toast flavor, but can't stand sweet tea and this is beyond sweet. Think I will try some of the higher caffeine teas minus the stevia.

A Extra Step to my Day!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

After trying so many teas like this, I was a skeptic. But ROT sent me a sample so I tried it this morning. Wow! Taste is awesome, gave me a jolt and I feel like I just had breakfast! I am a diabetic 2, so I have to watch what I take into my body. So far, I don't have a spike in my sugar and that is always a great thing. I have been a customer of Republic of Tea since the early 90's. Have no plans on quitting now. When we open up our gift boutique, The Republic of Teas will be the ONLY tea on our shelves. Five starts all the way!

I received this as a sample and had to order it immediately! This is very yummy. because I have Celiac, I can only digest Gluten free drinks and food. I have missed cinnamon toast for years, This was sweetened with stevia, a natural healthy sweetener, making it delicious and calorie free. It brought back pleasant memories of cinnamon toast, and woke me up for the day! I cant wait for this to come in the mail!

Amazing!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered this with the 24 sampler pack. Out of 3 different HiCaf teas I ordered along with it, it was the one I was least looking forward to try. I wasn't sure if I would like it based on the mixed reviews. Let me tell you, I made this at work and within minutes everyone was asking me what I was drinking. It seriously filled my work environment with happy curiosity. But the smell was nothing compared to the taste! I didn't notice the sweetener, the so called "odd flavors" others have mentioned, but my palate has never been as acute as others. Don't know if that's a good thing or bad! LOL! To me, it really did smell and taste like cinnamon toast with a subtle, buttery undertone. It's definitely going to be included with my next order.

So yucky!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I love most of the hicaf teas...look so forward to the toasted coconut especially, so I was jazzed to try this. In a word...yuck. Just yuck. Weird flavors, not the cinnamon I was expecting. I could barely choke down a cup and gave the rest away.

Received this tea as a sample and it is awesome! I didn't even realize it has stevia in it until I read other reviews. I have used stevia before and don't really like it, but in this tea blend I didn't even taste it...I will be buying a refill bag :)

Bizarre
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I received a sample of this tea with my order. I agree with the other reviewers who didn't like the stevia. I can barely tolerate regular sugar-sweetened tea, but this was in a league of its own. The stevia was the first flavor to hit my palate while drinking this tea, and boy was it strong. It was a chore to drink. Strangely, I found the initial aftertaste of the tea better than the flavor while drinking. The aftertaste was pleasantly reminiscent of maple syrup-coated french toast, but the regular flavor was peculiarly a lot like blackberry leaves generously dusted with obviously-not-sugar plus some cinnamon. There are no blackberry leaves in this product. They're usually reserved for fruity teas, which is what made the approximated flavor so out of place in a cinnamon toast tea. As much as I appreciated the initial aftertaste, it has lingered in my mouth for four and a half hours now (as of this review), gradually tasting more and more sour, much like the sourness of hibiscus.

Loose the stevia
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I received a sample of this and was thrilled to try it! Smell and taste are good but I didn't like the stevia. I do use stevia in iced tea, etc. and sugar in most hot teas. I know you were probably blending the tea to have the right sweetness for the flavor but I would like to choose the level of sweetness for myself. Thanks for a fun and interesting tea!

Cinnamony!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have very little sense of smell so often what I taste is different than what other people taste. That being said this tea was delicious. I love the strong cinnamon flavor and it's got a salty/sweet tone to it. I generally always add sweetener to tea because I'm a fat kid but I don't need it to enjoy this tea. It's a hit with my workmates; this office runs on java usually but it has enough perk they don't need to rely on coffee. I'll get them ordering regularly from the Republic in no time at all :)

Apple not cinnamon
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I was very disappointed in this tea. I was expecting a strong cinnamon flavor instead apple dominated. Also I didn't realize that a sweetener (stevia) was added to the tea. I prefer to taste the tea and not the sweetness.

It could be better....
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

Upon opening this tea it smells amazing! After brewing it smells even better, just like real cinnamon toast. It almost tastes just like real cinnamon toast too. But.... Like most others I have to agree that the stevia really needs to go... It adds a really bad aftertaste. I would much rather have the choice to add my own sweetener to this and get rid of the stevia. But the tea is not terrible it is actually quite good aside from the stevia. And I absolutely love the caffeine buzz I get from this tea. I was a bit worried with the caffeine content since I am pretty sensitive to caffeine. But it gave me really great non jittery energy for hours!! I would certainly repurchase this if they got rid of the stevia, if not I don't think I would buy this again.

No more coffee
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love this tea so much. I enjoy coffee but it tears up my stomach. I have switched to this Cinnamon Toast HiCaf and it works so much better without making me sick. I love the spicy kick with just a touch of sweetener, nothing else. It really does remind me of cinnamon toast that I had as a child. Thanks for improving quality of life RoT!

Deliciously Satisfying
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I just got my shipment of this tea yesterday and I have to say that for my morning tea ritual it really hit the spot. It has just a hint of sweetness from the stevia and that perfect cinnamon-y flavor to make me feel like i'm having either french toast or a cinnamon bun for breakfast. I tend to be pretty sensitive to caffeine, but this tea did not leave me with any jitters. I felt alert and good after drinking this tea. I can't wait to try the other flavors!

After 30 years of drinking coffee, I made the switch to tea. I'm so sick of coffee! How can you get sick of so many tea flavors? This one doesn't disappoint! It's hearty and tasty! If I feel like a little bit of a snack I drink any of the HiCAF teas and feel energized and not hungry anymore. I love all of your teas especially the caramel and this one! Thank you for making such fabulous flavors!

I'm highly dissatisfied with this tea. I find it really bitter (if I knew you added stevia to it I would've never bought it in the first place) Milk may help this tea but I'm not one to put milk in my tea.. I'm writing this off as money wasted at this point.

I just tried this new blend at the Specialty Food Trade Show last week- it is SO good! I can't wait until it starts shipping in February so I can order! I also really love your company's HiCAF flavors, it's really helped me switch from Diet Coke for my caffeine because it's so much healthier but provides the same energy boost I need during my day.
