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.
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 Our go to tea. We love it and drink it every day.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite teas! Definitely best hicaf tea.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My favorite of the hi caf series. Such a good morning tea. Have my husband drinking instead of energy drinks when he needs a boost.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I tried this as a sample. If you need a extra dose of caffeine, this is the winner. The flavor is spot on. Taste just like having a delicious French toast breakfast. My new favorite!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Absolutely delicious, especially first thing in the morning
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).
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 shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my go to fall and winter hi caf tea. Perfect substitute for morning joe!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars One of my favorites to start my work day. The cinnamon flavor has just the right balance.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is so tasty - I've reordered to refill my tin. :) I drink this on mornings when I need an extra boost of caffeine. It truly tastes like its name - cinnamon toast. :)
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars The taste is great, but I really wish they didn't add stevia to this tea. Kind of ruins it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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. Well this tea is like CTC saying ha ha you escaped our sugary trap only to get ensnared again. Except this is tea and it's actually not bad for you and it's delicious!! 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 5 out of 5 stars This is my every day tea without fail. My favorite- gets me going in the morning. Black tea with a hint of cinnamon and a touch of sweetness.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This has a great sweet cinnamon taste. I originally tried it as a sample and loved it so much I purchased the bulk bag!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love getting my morning started with the Hi Caf Cinnamon Toast Black tea!!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars HiCaf
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars As it claims, very cinnamon. Tastes good. It is like the other brands cinnamon tea but more mellow. For that reason, I like it better.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been buying this tea since it was first introduced and drink it every morning. I even take it with me when I travel. It really does smell like cinnamon toast when you open the container!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Been a fan for a few years now and it still delivers. Great flavor and adding a splash of milk really makes it shine
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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! My only complaint is that it is difficult to find in the store & we occasionally run out. It is worth buying several at a time because it is the best!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My husband isn’t a tea drinker but loves this tea, and now drinks it in place of his coffee many mornings. He especially loves the smooth blend of cinnamon flavor. His exact words were, ‘This brings me back to my childhood when my mom made me cinnamon toast but gives me the energy lift I need.’
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A great tea for fall. Strong but still sweet, evokes a cozy feeling.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite tea to have right after lunch. It continues to keep me going throughout the day, and I love the taste of it. It's like having dessert!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars More cinnamon please!!! Love the tea, wanted more cinnamon though. I really didn't get the hi caf boost though. Still all and all, delicious
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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been enjoying Hi Caf Cinnamon Toast Black Tea for several years and drink it every day. I particularly love the flavor and how a mug with a couple of tea bags is a great way to start my day!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my go to tea for early morning appointments. Just the ticket when you don't drink coffee and need to be wide awake. I haven't tried other flavors of Hi Caf teas. I'm so happy with Cinnamon Toast. I always keep this in stock.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a very good tea to get you going in the morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this tea a couple of weeks ago. I’m so glad I did! If you like cinnamon, and need a caffeine boost, this tea is for you!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Not a coffee drinker but need the caffeine and this extra boost of caffeine hits the spot.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have fully replaced the need for morning coffee with this delightful tea. This gives me the perfect wakeup boost with no subsequent crash. I love the flavor and every morning this is a perfect treat to start the day with.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is our family’s go-to tea every morning. My daily Hi-Caf Cinnamon Tea latte makes the morning smile
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite tea in the whole world. I could easily drink it every day but I try not to so that when I do drink it, I enjoy it that much more. It literally makes me so happy with that first sip. Exactly cinnamon toast.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been drinking this high calf tea for numerous years. Was forced to find a coffee alternative at the time and this fit the bill. Very tasty if you like cinnamon and has the caffeine that you’re looking for..
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars Eww, tastes like stevia. If I wanted sweetened tea I'd add it myself and I certainly wouldn't add stevia
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I’ve been using this tea for years. The cinnamon is just the right amount in flavor and the added caffeine helps in the morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Gives me the extra jolt I need in the morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love this tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This was a repeat purchase. The flavor is amazing. I have replaced my morning coffee with a cup of this tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the flavor. The extra caffeine is a bonus
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My husband chose this tea when he gave up coffee. I told him about it. It has wonderful flavor and gives him the morning boost he needs to get up at 5:20 am for work. Republic of Tea has a great tea selection. I have at least a dozen tins in several flavors here at any given time. This is a great company. I love my Tea Rewards!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea! The taste is so great and it smells just like its name - cinnamon toast. I tend to get jittery from too much caffeine, so I was a bit worried about trying this. But even though they say it has more caffeine than black coffee, this does not make me jittery.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars 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. ?? While I like cinnamon (especially with nutmeg, I found the primary flavor was Stevia, which left a weird aftertaste. I would prefer it unsweetened so I could add my own sugar or honey.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love this tea first thing in the morning. The extra caffeine gets me going and I love the cinnamon toast flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I suffer from hypnic headaches A solution for this is a cup of coffee before bed because of the caffeine. I tried this but I HATE coffee but it did help. When I saw the Hi Caf tea I tried this and it works and it does taste good. It is a good and tasty fix
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorites. It has a very deep satisfying flavor that stands on its own.
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.)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Received a free sample and ended up ordering more as I love the flavor and extra kick on the days when morning comes to early.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A great tea when you need an extra boost! The cinnamon toast flavor is great, smooth and just the tiniest bit sweet. You should try it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I received a gift of tea samples from my cousin 6 months ago. When I tried this tea I knew I could successfully transition from coffee to tea. It is delicious with a little honey. Has enough zip to get me moving in the morning but no jitters. My all-time favorite am tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been buying this tea for years and love it. I also add a little whip cream to my tea and it is like drinking a dessert;)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A delicious black tea with cinnamon and a hint of sweetness. It really does smell like cinnamon toast! I'm not a big cinnamon person, but my husband loved it, I'll probably end up buying more for him. I tried some hi-caf tea for those days you need an extra boost, and oh man, it definitely packs a punch! As good as a cup of coffee!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I always have this tea on hand. I love the taste of cinnamon and this tea provides boost of energy. I also pair it with another tea in teapot when I want to enhance the flavors.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is delicious and a great start to every day. I make a double cup with one HiCaf Cinnamon Toast and pair it with one of the Burnout Blocker, which has no caffeine. They're delicious together and make for a cup that gives you the immediate energy you need without the crash.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I like but it is a little bitter!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars Was very excited to try this but the stevia taste was overwhelming. Wish they'd make a version without any sweetener.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This has been my morning pick up daily for years. I love it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Delicious and wakes you up! It smells like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, it’s lightly sweet and soooo nice.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I purchased this tea a few months ago and it has just the right amount of cinnamon, not too strong, not too weak, just the right amount where the smell is as pleasing as the taste, true harmony! Goes perfect with dessert!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite tea hands down. I don’t even drink coffee in the afternoons anymore because of this delicious tea. It tastes like maple french toast in the best way possible.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars While I myself have not had it, my wife was taken aback by its sweetness. A noble attempt was made to finish our sampler, but it now languishes on our shelf untouched. Definitely the HiCAF flavour that least tastes like a traditional tea, for better or worse dependent on taste.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the extra caffeine! This tea is so great, slightly sweet. I only like it hot, just don't oversteep.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the flavor and love the caffeine. It smells and tastes divine.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is the best for late nights, all-nighters, and early mornings… And pretty much any time in between. I love having a cup with a little honey and a splash of milk for the full effect! Perfect for those who want the caffeine kick with a gentler aroma than coffee.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I absolutely love this tea! It has saved me as I kick my energy drink habit. I drink about 3 cups a day, and although I sweeten it a little, it really doesn't need it. I did not like it iced, but hot it's great! I keep some at the office as well as home because I love it so much. Definite re-purchase.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I would love to have this one in a travel tin & in bulk.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I will never be without this one. It’s not quite Chai in my opinion it’s better & I agree with the reviewer that it will transport you back to childhood in a very decadent way.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was sent samples of this tea along with my tea purchase and I normally don't drink caffeinated teas but I had to try it. It was absolutely delicious both hot & iced like a tea latte. Tastes just like Cinnamon Toast, unlike any other cinnamon tea I've had. Please RoT make this tea in Decaf!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Nice smooth well balanced flavor. If you want to be transported back to childhood, feel free to throw some milk (or alternative- I recommend oat) in and take a nice big sip. Childhood in a cup, now with bonus caffeine.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Okay, I recently placed an order & it was delivered today on time & every tin is in perfect condition but I am back after trying a sample of this. Honestly I passed this one over because it doesn’t have absolutely perfect reviews & I read reviews before each purchase however I believe this one is 5 stars if not 6 it’s really delicious & very light on cinnamon which I appreciate because it’s not overpowering to the other flavors plus I can drink this without the anxiety that coffee can sometimes cause or the heart palps or hot flashes, how wonderful is that(?) I t gives me a lovely focused energy to wake up with & I’m really looking forward to adding this to my morning routine. Thanks for the samples, I wouldn’t have considered trying it if you hadn’t…shower me with samples !
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.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars The flavor/smell are a bit too strong for my liking. I usually prefer a more subtle flavor for my everyday/every morning tea, but if you like a very sweet tea that's more like a dessert, then you may enjoy this more than I did.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars 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. It was the underlying taste of what I can only describe as “the butter on the toast” that I couldn’t tolerate. Unlike another review, I could not finish this cup. I’m glad I didn’t commit to the whole tin.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars We love cinnamon, but not really feeling the flavor of this tea.... Just not our cup of tea...
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I liked this tea OK, but it was a little too sweet for me to drink regularly. Not bad though, and definitely nailed the cinnamon toast flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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. The flavor is strong, sure, but with some cream and sugar it makes every morning more exciting. 10/10.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Couldn't taste cinnamon at all unfortunately. Drinkable but not a fan
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My ' only coffee ' friend tried it & liked it !
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Flavorful and bold, gets you buzzing in the morning! Strong cinnamon sweetness, inticing aroma.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I laugh at coffee drinkers who say they can't drink tea because they need more caffeine! Little do they know this delicious tasting Hi Caf tea has more than their bitter, bad breath inducing, coffee beverage. I love the early morning boost of energy this gives me, all while not making me jittery. It's the perfect tea for a Monday morning or whenever you need an extra pick-me-up!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been pairing this tea with breakfast blends and found the Three Gardens Bk to be absolutely amazing together. Even better is Cin Toast + Vanilla Almond WOW!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This tea has an interesting sweet flavor that does smell and taste like french toast.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Smells and tastes like cinnamon toast! Like having a cup of coffee!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is my favorite. I am not a fan of hot beverages, but I add about 2oz of Fairlife vanilla protein drink and it's a delightful treat for my long drive to work in the mornings.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I practice intermittent fasting, so I don't add sweetener during the day. This is the only tea I've found that IS REALLY GREAT without sweetener. I love it & have been drinking it for years.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars Unfortunately not the tea for me. Too overwhelming that it ruins the flavor, way too strong.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I like the caffeine content and the cinnamon, but I don't care for Stevia and that is quite noticeable to me in this tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I tried this tea out because I was trying to get away from drinking so much coffee and some teas don't have enough caffeine for me. This tea was amazing. Nice flavor with the spices, smells like breakfast and has caffeine to get you through the day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars my husband was able to switch from coffee with this hi-caffeine tea, plus he loves the cinnamon flavor. on the other end of the spectrum, i love that y'all offer so many caffeine free teas and green teas.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this for my husband who needs a tea that will keep him alert/focused since he has ADHD and works long hours as a software engineer. He says it does a good job keeping him awake and he really enjoys the taste of this cinnamon tea. Highly recommended.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I knew I wouldn't like it before the first sip. I don't like its flavor.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars They nailed the cinnamon toast, it's even a little sweet. Not bad, but not really for me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is so good it has that cinimon tact and the pick me up the travler case is so awesome it goes in my pocket and as long as I can get hot water 💧 I'm good to go.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea tastes great, and packs a nice punch! I really appreciate the extra caffeine. Makes a great pick me up or sweet treat, but isnt so sweet that you get sick of it. A great addition to my tea rotation.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars It is just Meh, in my opinion. Like, the three others I tried, the taste is not what I had hoped. I like the caffeine/L-Theanine effect. Any recommendation to a friend would have to come from that.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars It had a very good cinnamon aroma and flavor 😋 it is great for breakfast and a afternoon pick me up.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I'm aways thrown for a loop when a tea has stevia in it! I'm never expecting it and I NEVER enjoy it. Too bad because cinnamon toast sounds lovely otherwise!
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
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This cinnamon tea helps me be a better parent and husband in the mornings. It does have stevia in it, so it comes a little sweet. In the winter, I enjoy adding a little cream to it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am not a coffee drinker at all, so I love this tea when I need a pick me up in the morning!! It's delicious 😋
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Reminds me of having cinnamon toast on a cold winter morning when I was a child.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great when you want a sweet cinnamon tea with the boost of caffeine in the morning. I like that I don't have to add any sweetener to it. I grow stevia, so I'm use to its flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Definitely a high caffeine tea, and very yummy!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great taste to accompany the hi-caf. Most hi-caf's are just double strength, which can sometimes be bitter.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Great flavor
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of my favorites from republic of tea! The cinnamon taste is just right and it's perfect for winter
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I was not a fan of the sweetener after taste. But I enjoyed the initial flavor and pick me up afterward. Sadly not my cuppa.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised by the the authentic cinnamon toast flavor. Flavor is not weak nor is it overpowering. This tea is simply amazing and comforting, as we approach crisp autumn days. It is a perfect pick me up tea with an extra caffeine boost.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Such a lovely flavor, and so perfect on days I need a little extra pick me up
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I enjoy the combinations of cinnamon, caffeine and black tea, so when I saw this tea I figured I would give it a try. It was what I hoped for. It is a great flavor combination and a good pick me up when I need a boost without the calories. The stevia added a bit of sweetness to the taste as well. I have really been enjoying this. I will order again when I finish my initial tin.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Cinnamon toast - love this tea. Iced with a little bit of cream. The perfect boost for long days.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is just not any ordinary cinnamon tea - it literally tastes like cinnamon TOAST. I bought this HiCAF tea to drink before trail runs for an extra boost and now I look forward to trail running days even more because it means I get to have this tea. It's a special treat, but I could easily drink it every day. I buy it in bulk and hope it never goes away.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea helps me face the day when I'm not feeling it in the morning. I can only drink 1 or I'll be jittery, but 1 is all you need. This tin lasts a long time! It seems like a lot of money, but it's packed with tea bags, totally worth it. And, I love this flavor! I am a fan of vanilla caramel too, but this is even yummier!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the taste!✌ï¸
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars great company
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Has the best flavor. I didn't get the stevia flavor like others mentioned- just deep cinnamon. The BEST coffee substitute. I am never without it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was hesitant of this flavor at first, but someone let me try theirs and I was hooked! I have been drinking the Coconut hi-caf for about 2 years now and it's amazing as well, however, for the best flavor I'd definitely go with this one! I add a little bit of almond creamer and it tastes just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Love it!
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Nice and sweet, great for a morning pick me up
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars As someone who needs a jolt of caffeine in the mornings but does not drink coffee, this is a delicious way to start my day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I enjoyed the flavor and the high caffeine content. It got me through a very long week of very little sleep.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Got this as a sample and loved it! It is sweet but not sickly so and is a good replacement for coffee!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I like this flavor best of all the hi-caf flavors, and I've tried them all. It is sweetened, so I make it my weekend treat instead of my daily tea. I do appreciate the sweetener is stevia rather than sucralose or aspartame.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars The HiCAF® Cinnamon Toast Black Tea Bags provide a flavorful and energizing tea experience with a delightful blend of robust black tea and warming cinnamon. The high caffeine content makes it a great choice for a morning or afternoon pick-me-up without the jitters. The tea bags are convenient and the aroma is inviting, creating a satisfying cup of tea that awakens the senses.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I prefer black tea with no stevia.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I got one bag as a sample and was craving more, it's definitely an extra boost of caffeine. I'd love to see this flavor in a lower caffeine flavor
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars HiCAF "Cinnamon Toast" Black Tea. is my favorite morning tea. i slipped and had a cup after dinner. Sleeping was a challenge. Great for late night reading!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I was excited for this tea as a coffee alternative. The cinnamon toast flavor is nice but there is a strange sweetener taste to this tea that i cannot get over. It's like drinking a weird sweetened cough syrup or something. I love all my other teas but this is a definite no, wish i could get my money back or trade it in. Don't get me wrong I tried this tea about 3 or 4 times, hot and cold. Nope. And i bought the 50 bags because it was the only option. Ugh.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars The cinnamon flavor in this is nice, but I still found myself needing coffee in the AM.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this as my morning tea. The extra boost of caffeine is great, especially on mornings when I'm moving slow and the office is busy. I find the cinnamon scent so soothing. Overall this tea is amazing.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I hesitate with certain flavored teas for my own reasons, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Aromatic and tasty. Will be buying more.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my go-to morning tea it tastes delicious and has just the right amount of caffeine
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I drank this one morning instead of my daily coffee & it was great! Its a definate yes! U can totally drink this in place of coffee!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a delicious full flavored tea with a hint of sweet. I typically do not care for cinnamon but it is subtle in this tea, whether brewed hot or cold. The caffeine gives me a boost.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars Hot: Green tea and cinnamon taste weird together. The apple is detectable, but overwhelmed by the bitterness of the cinnamon and/or bitter almond. Doesn't change much as it cools. Way too bitter.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I like this and the black high caf teas. They're great alternatives to coffee when you don't want all that acid upsetting your GERD. I reach for this one when I want a little sweeter flavor without having to add any sweetener. It's delicious!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a strong black tea with a subtle cinnamon toast flavor and a caffeine punch that I love
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This really does taste like cinnamon sugar toast! The caffeine content makes it energizing, perfect for someone who doesn't drink coffee.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I find it tasty and a strong flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This "yummy in your tummy" scrumptious sipper is "cinn-fully" delicious! With its sweet—and spicy—nod to the time-honored breakfast staple, R of T's clever hi-caf concoction is a perfect pick-me-up any time of the day that a subtle kick of sugar/cinnamon-laced delight is desired. Featuring fabulously fragrant and lip-smacking suggestions of buttery goodness and warming spice with sugar on top, this tasty treat of a tea is a reminder of old-fashioned comfort food...in a cup!!!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars The too sweet flavor and high caffeine are things that won't make this a go-to for me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite morning pick me up. The flavor is perfect and the extra caffeine is just what I need on Monday mornings.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Got this tea as a sample with an order and it was the first tea I tried with stevia and it had the most horrible aftertaste. Since then I've tried other teas with stevia and this one was really over the top with the stevia.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the flavor of this tea. (Honestly, I wish it were offered in a "normal caf" version.) It is my go-to breakfast tea. The cinnamon flavor is not overwhelming.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The smell, the taste…yum! Perfect for mornings or an afternoon boost!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is great for early mornings. It's as strong as coffee! It's a deep flavored black tea with heavy buttery cinnamon flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my go to things when I'm needing to get moving. I love the smell, and while I add just a touch of sugar I'm sure it's fine without any as well. So so good!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I received a sample of this tea with an order. I loved it. The cinnamon toast flavor was nice. I wish that they had a regular version of this tea, though, as coffee makes me jittery, so I don't need a tea with that much caffeine. I steeped mine for a long time and used a lot of water, so it didn't seem to be a problem, though.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've never been a coffee drinker and never really got into tea, but I needed something to wake me up in the morning, as I struggle with fatigue. I found this high caffeine tea and it really did the trick. It has a nice cinnamon flavor that I look forward to each morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Ok, so it's not bad... but it's definitely not what I expected. I was hoping for a nice cinnamon-y, toasty taste, but what really stands out to me is the apple flavor & stevia. Kind of disappointed with this one. I'll finish the tin but won't reorder. At least it wakes me up! That HiCAF tho, ya feel me?
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Got this for my better half who drinks way to much coffee..we found this tea with nice caffeine content and she loves it..she loves the taste and says it's a great alternative to coffee.. now she can't live without it
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars When I brew a Hi-Caf tea the aroma of all the teas are spot on. The flavours of the Hi-Caf teas are not as strong. I have been mixing some of the stronger flavored tea bags with the Hi-caf. I have been mixing Vanilla Almond with the Cinnamon Toast. That makes my day.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This is a very good breakfast tea; I use it to replace coffee. It's not as sweet as I may have thought; perhaps because I drink it every day I got used to the flavors. A light sweetener may help if you like sugar or honey. However, you can taste the cinammon and it's very good. If you're not a fan of overly-sweet teas then this would be a good selection.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars If you like cinnamon toast you'll love this tea. I don't know how they do it, but when sipping this tea you actually get toasty buttery notes topped off with cinnamon. On a side note, my wife does not like cinnamon but she really enjoyed this tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was very upset when coffee started bothering my stomach, until I found this excellent and even superior substitute. I love it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars It's a shame they don't make this in decaf. Tastes great and packs a punch! Great with a small bit of sugar or some creamer.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love it!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars The tea helps combat the drowsiness that is caused by one of my medications. I wish the taste was better, but it's not too bad. I wouldn't use more than one tea bag though and recommend also eating something as well.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is the only thing that gets me going for work in the mornings. I can't drink coffee anymore unfortunately, but I still desperately need a strong caffeine boost in the mornings, and this tea more than delivers. 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. I've had caffeine teas form other brands, and usually there's a sort of aftertaste that really kills the enjoyment of the tea, but this tea has no such problems.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my new favorite high caffeine tea! I love the licorice notes to it and it's delicious. Definitely a must try!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great taste, I drink it every morning, just as described, aromatic, energetic and tasty.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is his favorite Hi Caf tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea! It is a black tea with a lovely cinnamony, warm flavor. I don't start my day with anything else. Second cup maight be Earl Grey, English Breakfast or some other constant comment names tea. What a way to start the day!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I like my caffeine, and I like the cinnamon toast flavor, but the stevia is really unnecessary. Just let us add our own sweetener, please!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I can drink the HiCAF cinnamon toast tea every morning and not get bored of it. I purchased the large refill bag and was impressed at how fresh it kept the tea bags.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This has RAPIDLY become my new ADDICTION! I have to actively stop myself from brewing this all day…I have been a loyal customer of RoT forever and this doesn't disappoint in quality and deliciousness! I will buy this again often!! Please, please consider a reduced caffeine version????
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been a loyal customer of RoT forever and this doesn't disappoint in quality and deliciousness! I will buy this again often!!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I bought a traveler size to try this out—I really wanted to like this tea, but the stevia was too much for me. The cinnamon toast flavor is delicious and I loved the hi-caffeine aspect but I don't think I'll reorder.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love sweet stuff in somethings. I'm not big on the Cinnamon Toast cereal but I love this for my caffeine kick to get the day started. I tried it as a sample. Then decided I liked it enough to buy a canister for refilling from my bulk bag.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea! The flavor is rich and sweet, and the kick of caffeine is nice. I particularly enjoy that I can drink this without the caffeine making me as anxious as coffee does. The stevia does give it a slightly artificial taste, but it really doesn't bother me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the extra energy I get with this tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect from a black tea labeled "cinnamon toast," because I am not big on sweets and like drinking plain black tea and black coffee. But this is actually really good! It's not too sweet and to me this tastes more like an APPLE PIE than cinnamon toast which I like even better. After the first cup I instantly bought another HiCAF tea in a different flavor. I am a college student which relies on coffee and energy drinks to get through the day and I was looking for a natural replacement while still getting my caffeine in… I think I can say I found that.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am not a coffee drinker so this is my go to morning pick-me-up! I add a splash of Hazelnut Creamer and voo-la so good!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I start every day with this tea. Excellent flavor. Not too strong, but full of taste. Gets me perked up without being shaky or the effects from short-lasting coffee. Great start to your day!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of the few teas I will buy in bulk. It's great hot or iced, and I drink it daily as a starter to get going. I have tried all the hi-caf teas at least once, and they're all good, but the cinnamon flavor is so strong (I like a lot of cinnamon, others' mileage may vary with it) that this is the one I kept coming back to ordering time after time. Even when it was recently on backorder, I ordered a substitute until I could have my usual back again.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This tea gave me really bad anxiety but I really like the flavor
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars The taste isn't the best, but it's not horrible either. It does work though and gives me an energy boost to get through the morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I shared this sample with my BF. He drank most of it, so I can't say whether or not it gave an extra buzz, but it sure was tasty! I bought myself a cannister so I can use it when I need an extra jolt. Yummy!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I'm enjoying this. Nice alternative to coffee.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Good flavor!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have enjoyed every tea that I have gotten from Republic of Tea, but this is in my top three with all three vying for first place. Just the right amount of cinnamon toast flavor without masking the fact that it is tea. I add just a bit of honey and it's perfect. Yes, I really have replaced my morning coffee with hi caf tea. 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?
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wow, oh wow, is this a good tea! The flavor is robust yet sweet and pairs well with a dash of sugar and milk. It's one of my new favorites! I'm partial to the republic of chai but this may have knocked it down a notch. Try it! You'll be pleasantly surprised
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars Way too much caffeine making this flavor undeniable! Yuck!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My wife loves this tea. She loves the intense Cinnamon flavor. Do you think you could make it in a decaf? There are times at night she wishes she could have a nice hot cup.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I could taste the black tea and the cinnamon. I got a cinnamon after taste on my tongue after finishing this cup. The tea was harsh and bitter to me. I will not be buying this tea; this was a single bag sample. I rank it a 4 out of 10.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great tasting tea - Was surprised - Will order more
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a tea that I can take along and enjoy in place of coffee. Love the cinnamon aroma and taste. No need for sweetening either.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tastes great, and gets me going, but doesn't make me jittery!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I got this as a sample single in my last order. I was so excited to try this until I tried it. You can taste the stevia, that's all I really taste. I was thinking it was licorice but came online to read the ingredients, stevia.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great taste in every cup.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the flavor of this tea!! To me, it's just sweet enough, I don't add any sweetener.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Delicious flavored tea!! Perfect for winter!And I appreciate the extra bit of caffeine:)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars very good tasting tea with a kick
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the best tea EVER. I can't imagine my morning without this amazing tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my two favorite teas (the other being the Hi-Caf Caramel Black), and since my stomach doesn't deal well with the acidity of coffee, this is a delicious, affordable alternative to keep my brain working well through the mid-afternoon slump.
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?
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the flavor of this tea, it's my first cup every morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is great. It really does have the taste of cinnamon toast. I also love that it has a good amount of caffeine because I like to replace it for a cup of coffee in the mornings. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a good-tasting, cinnamon tea. Keep in mind that it has a sweetness to it (I expected it because of the flavor but I could see why someone wouldn't have thought about it before buying).
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I tried the travel size pack of this tea in case I didn't care for it. I didn't care the for artificial sweetener. I think it would have been good without it. Didn't really need artificial sweetener. I could add honey and would have been happier. I don't mind stevia. If they had to choose a sweetener, they chose the right one, but I really didn't care for it and I won't finish the rest.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am not a coffee drinker but wanted something to help my morning along. This is a perfectly tasting morning tea. I love to add a splash of Hazelnut Creamer for an additional smooth blend and taste. The tea is perfect on its own, however.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Thank you!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My favorite caffeinated tea. Ordered many, many bags of this.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love this tea!!! So very flavorful and gives extra caffeine for that extra kick start of the day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Just got this tea today and had to try it right away. I knew it would be good but it is so much better than i expected. The flavor is just intense and i think this is my new favorite tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars No sugar needed with this tea. It is a delicious blend of cinnamon and spice and everything nice (including stevia to give the sweetness). The caffeine level is excellent for a pick me up to use as an alternative to coffee. Add a little milk or cream to bring it over the top!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I should have researched this tea before I purchased it, I don't care for sweet teas but my neighbor does so win win for her! ??
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Hi caf Cinnamic Toast Tea.: I buy this tea in bulk sizes. It has the best flavor and I drink 2 cups of tea, every morning and the caffeine jolt, is the best and keeps me happy every day! I have all six of the flavors and I wish there were more flavors. I also bought the great metal tea holder, that holds all six of the flavors! It fits on the back of my stove!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I purchased this tea to replace my morning coffee that I normally drink with flavored creamers. Cinnamon toast sounds delicious. The first sips are okay but as the tea cools the stevia in the tea takes over and ruins the tea. I have almost a full can which I will not finish. The taste is very artificial sweetener!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Cinnamon Toast is the yummiest breakfast tea I have ever tasted. Absolutely delicious!!! So glad I found it. With the extra caffeine boost it is a fabulous way to start the day!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I own and drink all six flavors of The Republic of Teas, Hi Caf Teas. I drink 2 cups of tea, every morning and these are the best flavor of teas and I look forward to drinking them every day, The Cinnamon Toast is my most favorite! Would love that this company, would make more flavors in Hi Caf Teas, like vanilla and peach.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have found my new favorite morning tea. It has just enough cinnamon to be pleasing and not so much that it is overwhelming.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars One of the very few teas I've bought that AREN'T Earl Greyer.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I recieved this as a free sample when I ordered the HiCaf coconut black. For me personally, it's just too sweet. I just didn't enjoy this tea all that much because I felt overwhelmed by the aftertaste of the stevia leaf. I think I would definitely like this tea with all of the other ingredients, though, minus the sweet.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this cinnamon tea. It is just the right amount of cinnamon to make it different from plain black tea, but not enough to make it overwhelming. It is now in my regular rotation with the high caf caramel tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this awesome tea for the flavor & the buzz!
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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I don't have time to write reviews, but if this review helps ONE person, then I have done well. THIS TEA IS AMAZING! So, yes, I will take the time to share my opinion. I am a doubter about products promoting their attributes; however, this Hi-Caf tea IS all it says it is. 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.
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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is amazing. Smooth drinking, wonderful scent, tastes like cinnamon toast crunch, not to mention the HiCaf kick that gets me going every time! Highly delicious and recommended.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I really enjoy this tea! Sometimes my stomach isn't up for coffee and this tea never upsets my stomach. It is delicious!!
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tastes good, makes me feel awake without the acidity (and heartburn) of coffee. I'm okay with the stevia sweetening.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I think this is among the best teas. It has a great taste, not too overwhelming. always a pleasure to drink. Eagerly awaited.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wow I love this tea I added a little sugar free hazelnut cream and wow just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch highest taste quality!!! does not compare to grocery store bought $3 black tea that I would buy not even close to the race!!!! I'm new to buying tea here and this is just great I ordered this and another item on Tuesday and it came on Friday today! Wow they are quick and not only that I love how this website is set up and the tea packaging down to the slightest detail! Just wow and even the tracking and everything! I am new to republic of tea and i plan on staying for a long time! Amazing job republic of tea, gained a new customer! Must try for black tea drinkers
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars At first I didn't know what to think of this tea but it really grew on me! I wanted to give up coffee because of the unhealthy way I drink it. I didn't want to get the withdrawals from switching from coffee to tea and those bad headaches. But thankfully, with this high caf tea, no headaches! Its been a pretty smooth process. This has a buttery flavor w/ cinnamon almost like toast. I really do enjoy it every morning w/ a splash of non-dairy milk and some stevia.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love hiCaf teas!! I mix (2) bags of Cinnamon Toast hiCaf with (1) bag of the seasonal gingerbread. I also use it to tone down some of the tumeric/spicier teas so that I can get my caffeine in as well as the various health benefits that the herbal teas offer!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I was disappointed when I realized this tea had an artificial sweetner in it. I love the cinnamon toast flavor of this tea, I just prefer to sweeten (or not sweeten) it myself.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tried this tea a few years ago and it quickly became my favorite tea. I have a cup almost every day. Very tasty!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been looking for a coffee creamer that allows me to enjoy my coffee while still keeping the sugar content at a minimum. With two tablespoons of coffee creamer in two cups of black coffee each morning I was consuming 20 grams of sugar and 140 calories before breakfast. I Love the cinnamon, caramel, and almond flavors of this tea and the stevia gives it the perfect amount of sweetness! Throw in the green tea extract and I feel I finally have a healthy alternative to coffee that I can look forward to drinking every morning! Thanks Republic of Tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love everything about this tea! I have tried for years to find coffee creamer that has a hint of sweetness without chemicals and added calories, I found my answer! I am switching to this Tea and skippingbthe coffee! Love love! Thank You Republic of Tea!
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.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I had hoped to love this tea, as I am partial to any teas with cinnamon and extra caffeine is a plus. I should have looked at the ingredient list before purchasing, though, as the fact that it is sweetened would have been enough to turn me away. It just seems to be overly flavored with too many different flavors.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been drinking Hi-Caf Tea for over a year now. It is my one cup of caffeine since I gave up coffee. I also gave up milk and sugar, which I used in my coffee, and don't need at all in my tea! I love all the flavors too!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought your Cinnamon Toast Black tea in a mark-down section of our local Safeway store. I'd never tried any of your teas, but liked the idea of black tea with extra caffeine, and I love cinnamon toast, too. I'm not one that likes additives/flavors in my teas or coffees. I am pleasantly surprised to find I love your tea! I'm sad to say, Safeway no longer carries it, I'll have to order online now. But it's so worth it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I'm hooked on these Hi-Caf Teas since I don't drink coffee. These are a must for that first cup!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I been drinking coffee with cream and sugar for years. Need to eliminate so trying flavored teas so not add extras in
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love it. Period!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Excellent taste. I've tried many of the teas and this one is my favorite.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My new favorite flavor...it actually does taste like cinnamon toast, and the extra caffeine is an added benefit!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Of all the Hi Caf Teas in the Republic Tea Company, the Cinnamon Toast Tea is my favorite! It is a great wake up tea in the morning and now I buy the 250 count bag, I do drink the Coconut and the Carmel Hi Caf Tea, but the first mug of tea in the morning is Cinnamon Toast. I also bought the little tongs to take out the tea bag, very nice. The best buy I really enjoy is the 6 count tea caddy that fits on the back of my stove.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea so much that I buy this tea in bulk. My fiance and I drink it almost every morning, he was an avid coffee drinker till he tried this tea. Hope this tea is around for a long time.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the taste of this tea. no need to get used to it, it tastes great right from the start.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars This tea has a wonderful aroma and pleasant taste until the stevia it contains hits. I really didn't appreciate the unexpected addition of stevia to the tea. Shame on me, I suppose, for not having read the ingredients before ordering. Live and learn, but honestly, I can sweeten my tea myself, to suit my own taste, which definitely does not include stevia.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I really like cinnamon tea but this is not at all like cinnamon toast. Too much apple flavor. Sometimes less is more.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent tasting and great high caffeine tea. Had I'd known it was going to be so good, I would have bought them in the larger quantity bags! We love this tea, its flavor is exquisitely tasty with just the right hint of vanilla that comes through in cinnamon flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great flavored tea and will definitely purchase again..
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I enjoy the Cinnamon Toast High Caf! It's my new favorite for starting my day!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I do love a cinnamon tea, but I like it to be cut with something like Vanilla or a fruit. The flavor of this tea was too spicy on its own-although the caffeine boost was there!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars I love the idea of getting tea that has more caffeine on days that I need it but not only did the stevia make it taste "fake" but I felt jittery like I was going to jump out of my skin and nauseous all day when I drink this. I will stick to my usual teas.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Does the job and doubles as an air freshener! Seriously, this smells so good.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My daughter had me try this tea. Now, I drink it daily and signed up for auto delivery so I will not run out. It is delicious hot, lukewarm, and cold. The sweetness is just right. Yum :-)
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars Like other reviewers, the Stevia put me off this tea. It has a really noticeable chemical taste that ruins what would otherwise be a pretty great tea. Please make this one without Stevia! I can add a little honey or sugar if I want it sweetened.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was a little skeptical about how strong this might be, but I was not disappointed! The flavor and aroma are fantastic, very satisfying.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This one is the best. I'm addicted. Has the most warming, light cinnamon flavor...perfection!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tastes just like a hint of the perfect cinnamon toast. Amazing. This tea helped me quit coffee, and keeps me off it. My new morning routine. Gotta love it.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars The flavor is great, but I don't like the stevia at all. Stevia tastes chemical-y to me, and makes me slightly queasy. This would be fantastic without it.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars 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. I tried to cover it up with a cinnamon stick but it still just didn't taste good. I'm a college student who needs to be up late so I need caffeine, but I hate coffee, but this is worse. If I make it, I choke it down really fast. I drink it by need, not by want.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I could swear it tastes like there is a piece of cinnamon toast somewhere in my cup (I almost feel guilty drinking it because I am on a wheat free diet). My daughter even walked over and said it smelled like I had a cinnamon roll on my desk. I was worried that a hi-caf tea would make me anxious or shaky but I didn't have any adverse affects at all. I do sip my tea and don't drink it all at once though. I absolutely love it! :)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars When you first open this tea, the smell is HEAVENLY, a soft cinnamon smell wafts up, and you detect a hint of sweetness in the smell. When you TASTE this tea, it MATCHES the smell!! The taste is FABULOUS! It is sweetened with Stevia, so if you don't like sweetened tea, this is NOT for you. The blend of spices and teas is perfect, the cinnamon doesn't overwhelm the senses, and the tea tastes great hot OR cold!! I'm on my second batch of 50, and it is my favorite tea so far!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Really nice flavour but far too sweet.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bough this tea because hey, High Caf! But it's a really nice taste as well. Every time I drink it, I have French toast pop into my head. The tea is a bit sweet and I'm enjoying it very much.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the taste of this tea; I received it as a sample and then ordered some more in a 12-tea sampler pack. Since I really like my coffee in the morning, I have to watch when I drink this tea because of the high caffeine. I wish Republic of Tea would make the same flavor in a regular black tea so it doesn't have so much caffeine because the taste (and smell) is luscious!!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars 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?
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.
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.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea! It is so buttery, nice cinnamon flavor and carries a lovely punch of caffeine! I got this as a sample with my catalog and oh man, I rushed to buy!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
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.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my new favorite of the Hi Caf teas! The flavor is wonderful, with a sweet aftertaste. Not so caffeinated that I was up all night, but just enough to help me through the afternoon!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I just received a sample of cinnamon toast black tea in the mail. I just love it. My next order will also include this wonderful tea!
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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Super good with a little almond milk. Addictive like crack. I'm spoiled for other teas now.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Got this as a sample w/my last order. Just the perfect blend of cinnamon and sweetness. A smooth glide to a morning wake-up. Permanently on my list of favorites.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was happily surprised at the first sip and it got better and better! Got as sample and will definitely buy some. The stevia didn't overwhelm me and I didn't get jittery.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
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.
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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 :)
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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I steep this in the morning with a little bit of raw sugar..I pour over ice with vanilla soy milk.. W.O.W!!
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!
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 :)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Cinnamon and butter
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.
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.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars The stevia overpowers any of the cinnamon flavor. So disappointed. It sounded delicious.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars So good! I love this tea and will absolutely be ordering more in the future. It tastes so good, I don't know about it waking me up but it is delicious!
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!
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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
