Great Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I really love the Gingerbread tea in the afternoon and in the evening after dinner. I didn’t know what to expect since I’ve never tasted a flavored tea before but I am definitely going to have to get more I only drink tea so to have something a little different from the normal tea is the greatest.

Reminds me of gingerbread snaps!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

The gingerbread cookie tea was in my first order for the Republic of tea. I was worried at first to try it because there wasn't a sample but I am glad I took the chance. You can definitely taste gingerbread :)

Slightly disappointing
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I’ve tried this hot and I’ve tried it iced. I’ve tried it with and without milk, but it’s just very difficult to get past the artificial flavor that comes from what I believe to be the abundance of Stevia. Such a shame because gingerbread is truly one of my favorite flavors, especially for a tea.

Sadly, disappointing
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

The aroma was inviting but the stevia overpowered the flavor - could not taste any other ingredient. I would love an unsweetened version.

Pretty decent
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Pretty good tea but not something I’d drink all the time. You def get that gingerbread cookie flavor but I’d say the stevia overpowered it a bit. Would be nice to have a tad bit more spice

Stevia! YUCK!

So So disappointed that this tea has stevia in it. It imparts such a foul taste. I want to put my own sweetener to my own sweetness level. PLEASE???

Not gingerbread at all
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I really wanted to like this tea but just found the taste very strange, not in a good way. I could not taste anything even remotely like gingerbread. Darn.

A cup of pure heaven!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

One of my favorite blends of tea. Soothes, relaxes and replenishes my soul when I can relax with a cup early in the morning while I am preparing for my day. Wonderful blend. If you have not tried it please do as it is available for a short time.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought this during the winter and fell in love with it! My new favorite. When I went to reorder, I found out it was seasonal and out of stock. Bummed. They asked if I wanted to be notified when it was back in stock. I said yes, and they did! I love it when they tell you it's back in stock!

Holidays any day
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Some people find this too sweet, but I absolutely love this tea. It gives a wonderful flavor of Christmas cookies without all the butter and calories from eating too many of them. Instead of scarfing down desserts, I can sip Christmas slowly and really relish it. The only problem is that this tea is sold only in the tins and not the bulk refill bags. I have to wait all year long and pray that it will be available for the next season as soon as I run out, unlike what I do with Pumpkin Spice and Comfort & Joy.

Good Gingerbread flavor, but too sweet for me
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

The Gingerbread flavor is spot on, but the overall sweetness is a bit much for me, so I gave it to my friend to serve to her grand kids. They are thrilled.

Nicely gingery but too sweet
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I generally prefer no sweetener but understand that this tea needs some to bring out the flavor, and stevia is a good choice. However, there's just too much; the tea gets cloying. The flavor is very pleasant, truly more reminiscent of gingerbread than straight ginger.

Good flavor but much too sweet!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I like the flavor of this tea but wish there wasn't so much stevia in it, it's way too sweet. And stevia isn't easy to take when there's too much, unfortunately I just can't drink it so it will go to waste. I hope next year this tea comes with much less stevia. It's easier for us to add our own sweetener.

Tastes jusst like gingerbread
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have to express disbelief at any reviews saying this tea doesn't taste like gingerbread. To me, it tastes EXACTLY like gingerbread. In fact, I could tell the flavour was spot-on just by the aroma. Now, the flavour isn't too strong, so if you really want something gingery, I'd suggest brewing it stronger than usual. It also has stevia in it, but I'm happy to report that the sweetness is very mild. I don't sweeten my tea and am normally wary of pre-sweetened blends, but this is just lovely. So warming and perfect for the holiday season. I can't wait to have a cuppa with some actual gingerbread!

Dislike Stevia
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I was disappointed to find out this tea has Stevia in it....not a fan! Stevia is known to cause ulcerations and I avoid it like the plague! Organic cane sugar is pure and natural so its a better choice of sweetner.

I thought the tea was Amazing!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I order the Gingerbread tea on a whim to see what it would be like. I was super surprised by how mild and pleasant the tea ended up being. Other reviews have stated the taste is weak, I drink my tea with two pouches in 12 Ounces of water, and found the flavor to be just right. If you are looking for in for face ginger & spice, this is not the tea for you. But if you are looking for a mild, warm cup of tea that will help you relax at the end of a long day, this is SO the tea for you!!

Weak Flavor
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I bought this tea because I love Hallmark Christmas, but the flavor is very disappointing--it's very weak and one-dimensional. I've also tried it with honey and milk, but then the cup just tastes like honey or milk water. I wouldn't buy this again, and I'm not sure what I'll even do with the rest of the tea bags.
