This tea seriously tastes like christmas in a cup!
I received this sample with the winter catalog and fell in love with it. I will be buying it next season.
Not too strong in any of the flavors, such as the licorice or the cinnamon, but certainly has strong flavors. Has a smidgen of a bite such as black pepper, so that seems to add extra warmth. Definitely fits cold weather. I tried this free sample after steeping 4 minutes, also straight, without milk or sugar.
Great taste, feels festive without being overly spiced or too chirstmas-y. Nice to enjoy it any time of day since its in decaf now!
I love the flavor of this comfort and joy tea, it's one of the best decaf options out there. I am enjoying this well beyond the holiday season
regular comfort and joy was always a fav but with the decaf version I can now enjoy it anytime instead of only in the AM.
Received as a free sample and very much enjoyed. Usually not a fan of black tea, but decaf is lovely because I can drink it in the evening and still fall asleep with him a reasonable time.
This tea puts me right in the holiday mood. I just want to snuggle up with a book and a blanket and take in the holiday decorations.
I received a free sample of Decaf Comfort and Joy in my recent order, and while the sample was damaged (the tea bag got caught in the side of the packaging as the packaging was sealed and ripped open when I unsealed the packaging), I put the tea bag in a loose leaf steeper and it was fine! The flavor was nice (a little bland, but I say that about every tea haha!) but the smell was wonderful! It really was a cup of comfort and joy.
I bought this for my SIL for Christmas. He loves Comfort & Joy, but wasn't having tea at night. Now he can have it and he loves it. Please have available next year in bulk!
I really like comfort and joy in the afternoon and was pleased it comes in decaf so I can enjoy it then.
I was so happy to see that Republic of Tea made a decaf version of their Comfort & Joy tea. I find that most tea companies only have caffeinated black tea as the base for their holiday blends, which limits when I can drink them. This is a delicious variety, that has a mellow and smooth flavor. If you’re looking for a spicier tea, you may want to use two tea bags.
Tastes like Christmas! I don’t do a lot of caffeine so I’m thankful this comes in decaf. Tastes sooo good! The cinnamon and hint of black licorice (not overpowering) are flavorful. Smells wonderful too!
I received the sample of the tea. I was excited for warm flavors, but it was a bit too lemony for my liking.
I saw this holiday tea last year and wanted to try it so much, but missed out because I don't drink caffeine, so I was thrilled when it came out in decaf. It is a lovely, holiday tea that tastes so festive around the fall/winter seasons. It is bright and spicy and a lovely treat to wake up with!
It fills the room with the spicy smell of the holidays. This is a lovely, very tasty holiday tea.
I love the taste of Comfort & Joy tea, it is truly relaxing and warming on a cold winter day!
I am so grateful they made a decaf version of this so I can enjoy it this year. It is delightful flavor. It says Holiday Spice blend but for me it doesn’t have herbal spice or cinnamon-y flavors, the apple must soften those notes. I would describe it as both comfort and joy!
This tea is amazing. I love the touch of spices that give it warmth.
I tried this tea after reading the reviews and so glad I did! I can only drink decaf teas and this is a great new addition
I purchased this as a gift for a friend. I gave her the sample I received in my catalog last month, I think. She really enjoyed it then, and now, she’ll be enjoying it Christmas Day. ??
Love it in the decaf version. Might need to reorder before the holiday season is over!
I love this tea so much, it is one of my favorite gifts to give at Christmas. My long time friend ( she LOVES tea) thought this tea is a fabulous blend. I love the smell and the taste. It comes regular and decaf, this is perfect! YES, perfect!
I received a catalog with a free sample of decaf comfort and joy tea. I finally made it to try today and I really enjoyed it. It has the right balance of everything that is in it.
Had the sample tea bag in the catalog and loved it. so glad that I ordered this tea. Perfect for this time of year
I love Comfort and Joy and was very happy to see it in Decaf. Now I can enjoy this tea morning and evening
I drink the caffeinated Comfort and Joy and was really happy to see that there is a decaf version. I love the spices in this tea.
I’ve always loved this tea but now that it’s decaf I love it even more!! So delicious and festive for Christmas!! Hope it will eventually will be available in bulk!!
I bought this for my daughter in law who loves decaf tea. She was impressed with the festive aroma and flavors.
Delicious, but not quite as strong as the regular Comfort and Joy. Maybe that's something you can fix. However, I prefer decaf, and I like the spicy flavor.
This tea brings joy each time I have it. The aroma of the spices brings memories of Christmas and the taste is perfect.
Put a bow on this one. Just in time for the holidays. Excellent flavor. Must have teq.
This is a wonderful winter tea. I prefer decaf -and I am so glad I found this one! I can enjoy it any time!
I bought this and I m astounded it is amazing. I wish I had gotten it in caffeinated.I like it that much.And now it is out of stock for the season.I'm very sad , but we'll definitely stock up next year. It's my evening tea before going to bed.I love it.
Tastes “yucky” to me. Is it the cloves? Not sure. It was hard to finish my cup.
I bought 6 of these to give as gifts and to keep one for myself! Everyone loves it at night! Thank you for making a Holliday tea for night time!
I received a sample of this and loved it, and bought a tin shortly afterwards. Unfortunately the flavor of the bags in the tin is much weaker than the sample. There isn’t nearly the depth of flavor of the sample. It’s just kind of…meh.
This is my staple throughout November December and January for evening tea. The flavors are warm and rich.
I absolutely love the Winter Fruit Blend Tea. I make sure that I have several tins on hand as it is only available during the holiday season. This year I bought Republic of Tea for my tea drinking Mahjong playing friends. I think that they will be thrilled to receive them.
Tea is great! Very warm and perfect for winter.
Delicious cup of the holidays!
Love that it's a decaf black tea. Great for cozy winter nights! The flavor is full between the spices, hints of fruit, and the licorice undertones!
Thank you for making a decaf version of this delicious tea! It puts me in the Christmas spirit with the first sip.
I bought this for Christmas gifts and so far everyone loves it. They do have the best tea.
Awesome holiday spices and flavors.
Love this holiday tea!
When this tea first arrived on the site, I bought it. It became my most favorite tea! I was SO THRILLED it was available in decaf so I can enjoy a mug in the evening ?? . Just so wonderful.
I love comfort and joy, and was so excited to find the Decaffeinated version! I was worried it might taste different, and upon opening I was sort of worried because if sort of has a stronger licorice root smell, but after brewing it literally tastes the exact same! I’m so excited to have it as a cozy evening tea with my kids without worrying about the added caffeine
We already loved Comfort and Joy so we were so excited that a decaf became available. It tastes just like the regular version but now we can have it in the evening. It has wonderful flavor.
Glad it comes in decaf! Love this flavor
Trying different kinds
A little disapointed in the taste. I've been using the caffeine Comfort and Joy and loved it. The decade one has hickory root in it and I didn't like the taste, just wasn't the same as the other one. Will drink it as I had ordered. 2 cans of it.
Fragrant and flavorful with a balance of cinnamon, cloves, and just enough apple. I had the black tea version last year and the decaf tastes just a good. Will be stocking up to enjoy after the season is over.
Comfort and Joy tea is by far my favorite holiday blend and I am delighted that it comes in decaf. Incredibly delicious.
I bought after receiving a sample in Republic Tea catalog. It is the best tasting tea and being decaf makes if my go to tea. Love it and recommend it.
Not an everyday tea for me, but lovely to have for the holidays and to feel cozy and festive. I love it with a bit of vanilla creamer to give a deeper, richer flavor. Tastes like the holidays and makes the whole room smell great!
Comfort and Joy is my family’s favorite tea! I’ve said for years that I wish it came in decaf. And now it does! Now we can enjoy our favorite tea all day! Regular C&J for morning and Decaf for evening!!
christmas in a cup!
My favorite tea in cold weather. A smidge of honey and I’m all set.??
Quality tea. Comfort and Joy tea decaf is delicious. This is my second time ordering it.
Great Christmas gift for tea lovers!
I am very happy with this flavor!
Tastes just like the original, but now I can enjoy a hot cup of tea before bedtime.
This decaffeinated tea is so good. I specifically wanted to buy it decaffeinated because it’s so calming and cozy I would love to end my day drinking a warm cup of Comfort and Joy. Next year I’ll order quicker!
I’m so happy this came this year. I drink the majority of my tea at night and I have to have a decaf…. It’s delicious!! 5 stars
A festive decaf tea perfect for an early evening.
A very yummy tea! And so glad it's now available as decaf!
Very good seasonal tea!
Comforting tea!
Fabulous tea for the holidays. I ordered several to give as Christmas gifts and I ordered the decaf version for me. It is so delicious; just tastes like the season. So delicious.
The lack of caffeine doesn't compromise the flavor at all. Cloves and citrus, with a very nice round taste. It's great to be able to drink this tea at any time of day, it's a favorite of mine.
Gets me in the holiday spirit!
I used the sample sent and was pleasantly surprised. It was warm touches of holiday flavor. I will order some on my next order.
I enjoyed this sample very much. It is a cozy, comforting blend of warm spices. Since it is decaffeinated, it is perfect for an evening cup of tea.
I received this item as a sample and it was delicious. The combination of cinnamon, cloves, licorice root, apple bits and chicory root was amazing! It’s definitely the best combination to put me in the fall mood and I would definitely purchase. Thank you!!!!!
I received the decaf version as a free sample. Otherwise I don't drink decaf. The caf version of this tea is one of my favorites, but the decaf version required TWO teabags to get the same taste as one of the caf.
While I love my regular black teas and simply drink herbal ones in the evening, it is nice to be able to share some of my specials with a family member who cannot drink caffein. So now with this, we can both enjoy a seasonal cuppa with the same great aroma, just less punch for him!
I bought this decaf version of Vomfirt and Joy, and I am so glad that I did. The decaf version is as good as the regular caffeinated version. It tastes the same too. All around, this is a great holiday tea.
I LOVE COMFORT AND JOY, BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED IN DECAF. I HAVE USE 2 TEABAGS FOR TASTE RIGHT AND MATTER OF FACT I FOUND THAT ALSO DECAF BRITISH BREAKFAST.
This is perfect before bed
I found I only need about a teaspoon or less of the tea (or a bigger cup). For me, the flavors were much more nuanced that way!
A seasonal flavored tea. Nice spiced notes of cinnamon and cloves like a warm spiced muffin in a cup. Just the smell takes you down memory lane of Christmas past.
This is a lovely, delicate tea. The amount of spice is perfect. It’s a great tea to enjoy with cream in the evening, any time of the year!
Delicious tea! Great in the evening when I don't want caffeine!
Good amount of spice, nice to have a decaf Christmas tea
Looking forward to enjoying this if it ever turns cold around here.
I was sent a sample. Tried it last night, it was delicious and very holiday-ish!!
Tried the sample in the mailer as soon as I got it. Pleasantly surprised. Love that it’s decaf. The spice level is good. Someone else said it was like the old Constant Comment tea. I agree— in a good way.
I received this as a sample with my last order. Wow !! Flavor is off the charts. Including a wonderful clean aftertaste. Thank you for another addition to my growing list of favorites!!
Yummy! Comfort and Joy lives up to its name. Flavor is full, rich, and delicious. Glad to serve guests, smiles happen!
I got this with my last regular order on a whim - and I love it! It is increasingly difficult to find high quality decaffeinated black tea blends - this one is a winner!
Received this as a sample and will be purchasing a tin. It is not too strong, which I was a little concerned about with the black tea, but the spices balance it wonderfully. A soothing and warming blend, definitely lives up to its name.
Love it
This tea has all the feels: warm and holiday-ish. I am in love!
I love the decaf Christmas tea, subtle yet fancy.
This is a great spiced tea and the decaf means that I can drink it in the evening without worrying that it will disrupt my sleep.
This smells like the holidays. I love it. I appreciate that it's decaf
I recently bought this tea because it is decaffeinated. Also because the Comfort and Joy tea is one of my absolute favorites from The Republic of Tea. I always look forward to the holiday season so I can purchase some, but I was really excited to see the decaffeinated version so I can drink it any time of day.
I bought this on a whim and I'm ever so glad that I did. I keep reaching for it over and over. It's so good!
Received a free sample tea bag with the new catalog. It is delicious. I like that it has no caffeine so I can drink it more often. It is wonderful for a cold day.
I think my DIL will like this.
I receive my tea in a very short time and I love the Decaf Comfort & Joy. It is wonderful. I drink in the mornng with a little honey and at night watching TV. Better than coffee.
A perfect holiday season afternoon tea.
Good for Long Covid.
Comfort and joy (in a cup) indeed! A wonderful and delicious blend—highly recommend!
Delicious tea. I think it might be a little stronger than the regularComfrt and Joy tea. I love it,
I love the flavor of my tea- mine is with caffeine. This decaf was a gift for my son- I’m sure he will love it!
So, so good!!
I received a sample of this and it is delicious! Great aroma and taste!
I really like this flavored seasonal tea. It's not overpowering, just right. and I can drink it later in the day. Perfect!
Thank you so much for the sample in my catalog. I enjoy trying this tea, it was very festive! I like the spice in it, it is very subtle and I almost feel like it has an orange flavor to it
Delicious and flavorful. I am enjoying this brew immensely.
I have enjoyed your Comfort and Joy tea for years. But I have many friends who could not drink black tea due to caffeine. It is great to be able to offer them the flavor of the tea now.
First time trying. It is fantastic. Love the spicy taste.
Comfort and Joy has not disappointed. It tastes and smells like Christmas. It is my mid evening go to drink every night.
I really like this tea. It has a nice balance of spices and the subtle apple adds brightness!
Comfort and Joy is our favorite tea. We drink it year round. It is a wonderful blend of cloves and cinnamon.
I bought this tea and I love its flavor.
A pleasant addition to the decaf teas! It’s a bit softer and more subtle than the regular version, but definitely a treat to be able to enjoy a cuppa on a chilly evening without the worry of being kept awake.
The Comfort and Joy tea smells like Christmas in a cup, but the licorice taste was a little overpowering for my taste. I wanted to like it more than I did, but it was still a very flavorful seasonal tea. Not something I would drink regularly, but still tasty!
I received a sample of this tea. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
Reminds me of drinking Constant Comment tea in the 1970s with its distinctive flavor. I don’t like to drink much black tea but the decaf helps. Not for every day, but an evening winter mug with a book—that’s wonderful.
A very relaxing drink during the holidays.
I loved the caffeinated Comfort and Joy, but have had to give up caffeine after a colon surgery. I was delighted to see the new decaf version. It did not disappoint! I am truly enjoying it.
Very tasty with no caffeine makes it a great evening tea.
Comfort and Joy tea is my absolute favorite tea, so I was very excited to see a decaf version. Just as delicious and great for evening cups of this delicious tea!!
Flavor is in line with the caffeinated version and brings all the sweet and spice and everything nice. Great hot or iced
Love that this flavorful and seasonal tea is available as decaf! I wish more Christmas/winter teas were available as decaf singles or that there was a small gift set for that. It would take my elderly mother several years to use a tin of 50 teas and she wouldn't have variety. You make great tea, please consider.
It's that time of year again! I order this every year. It's heavy on the spices, so I probably wouldn't drink it year round, but it tastes like the holidays. I guess that's good because we can only get this tea at this time of the year. I got the decaf this year and I can't tell any difference between this and the regular Comfort & Joy.
I’ve loved this tea that is caffeinated. I was so excited to see a caffeine free version.
We just love COMFORT and JOY, and now that it's decaffeinated, we can drink it as often as we like!
Love the apple bits! Tastes like apple pie!
Got a sample of this and the hubby loved it so much had to order 2 tins asap.
The flavor and warmth of the spices in this tea make it perfect for cold weather. I’m so happy that it’s decaffeinated, so I can drink it when I sit down to read at night.
I love this holiday tea and especially now in decaf! I can enjoy a cup in the evening and still catch enough sleep :-)
I received a sample of this, smells great. Tastes good, I expected more flavor from it.
Tried this last night as a free sample. Added a dash of cinnamon. It was really good. Im going to purchase some
I am so happy to have this tea as decaf! It smells just like the holidays - cinnamon and clove. The decaf version allows me to drink it as an after-dinner tea. I'm going to ask Santa to create the Sip and Be Merry in decaf too so I can be Double Merry next season ;).
Decaf Comfort and Joy is a nice way to wind down and settle into the night. The aromatics are lovely. Thank you so much for the sample! I will definitely be purchasing some for myself and gifting.
Delicious tea for the cold weather!
I like it
Comfort & Joy is one of my favorites. Thank you for now offering a decaf version! Now I can enjoy this festive blend all evening and not have to worry about it keeping me up all night.
I tried a sample of this tea. It smelled great. The flavor was good. I don’t think I would reach for this tea among all my others.
Just like the first Comfort and Joy tea, only great to drink at night since it is decaf. I love it. You cant even tell the difference , taste wise, it has the wonderful flavor notes of the original. Love this stuff! This will be wonderful for all evenings, not just winter evenings, though it is a Christmas tea.
I got a sample of Comfort and Joy Decaf in my catalog. It tastes just a rich and flavorful as the tea I have been drinking for years. I am very excited for the new decaf version so it can be enjoyed my many others as well. Thank you !
Got a sample of this and love it!
We love the original comfort and joy, but wanted a decaf version to enjoy in the evenings. This very close to the original flavor, but not quite. Still satisfying with a splash of cream. Expect to enjoy it more during this upcoming coldsnap.
Great tea and decaf too! I am in joy.
Couldn't tell the difference from original to the new decaf. Love this for on the evenings. Wonderful!!
Comfort and Joy is my favorite holiday tea. So thankful I can now get it in decaf.
I was so pleased to receive a decaf sample! I liked the spicy warmth of this tea but would probably brew with more than 6 ounces! I would purchase this variety!
Like the flavor of this tea; great during a cool afternoon. Being decaf it won't keep me awake at bedtime. Sometimes I will combine it with the Cinnamon flavor in my teapot.
Received a sample with the last catalogue. I enjoyed the spicy yet fruity blend of this tea. I prefer green and herbal teas over black but this was a nice change. Liked that it was caffeine-free.
I love having the decaf option for this holiday favorite:-)) It tastes just as yummy as the caffeinated version and I can enjoy it on a chilly evening and not affect my sleep. Thanks!
I tried a sample of the Decaf because I love the regular blend. I’m definitely going to order more. The flavor is wonderful and hints of the holiday season to come. I can drink it all day without fear of trouble sleeping at night.
This was sent as a free sample recently. It smelled AMAZING, spicy with a little hint of citrus. After allowing it to steep, the flavor was far more citrus with an aftertaste of spices, so a bit backwards from what I expected. It was good, albeit unexpected!
Excellent teas! Have been buying for many years.
The name describes this tea perfectly! It has a delicate comforting flavor that brings joy to the sipper.
I tried the sample and ordered a container. Great tasting decaf with hints of fruit, cinnamon, and licorice.
Like this new blend of tea, it is exactly what the name says Comfort and Joy. The cinnamon flavor is scuttle but makes me feel warm and cozy.
I received a sample of this Decaf Comfort and Joy in the catalog a few days ago. It smells like potpourri and tastes great. Cinnamon and apple are the prominent flavors that I taste, and it has a smooth finish.
Very bold vanilla flavor.
I received a sample of this in the mail & I was pretty sure I wouldn't like it. Boy, was I wrong! If you can envision walking through the Christmas aisle at your local craft store and that tell tale scent that you can only get there, THAT is what this tea tastes like. I will be requesting a tin for Christmas. 100%.
I got this in a catalog a few days ago and was happy to get a little surprise. It had a wonderful taste with the spices and a sweetness. However I couldn't drink all of it because it had licorice root in it (I have hypertension) which was unfortunate. I hope perhaps in the future they have an alternative for that particular ingredient.
I have always enjoyed Comfort & Joy tea and was excited to find it in decaf. I ordered and I can't tell the difference between regular or decaf! So good.
Got a single sample in the mail and immediately had to try it out this morning, and I was a little bit underwhelmed. I do want to try the full caffeine version as well since I did enjoy it, but I was hoping for a slightly stronger flavor, especially since I'd brewed it with a little less water than I normally would. I don't regret trying it though! I'm very happy with what it is and I think it's a decently neutral comfort tea.
I tried the sample bag for the Decaf Comfort and Joy tea in the holiday catalog I received in the mail, and it was absolutely delicious! I didn't know what taste to expect, so it was a very pleasant yummy surprise. All the flavors just meshed well together. My 24 year old daughter took a sip of my tea and she really liked it too. I appreciate the sample tea bag since the return on this investment (ROI) is huge because I just placed an order for this tea (decaf and caffeinated versions). Thank you so much ROT!!!
Do you like spiced cider? If you do, you'll like this tea. It's got a lovely, holiday fragrance and a spiced cider flavor. The fact that it's decaf makes it even better, so you won't have to worry whether it will keep you awake at night. I'd give it 5 stars, but spiced cider is not among my favorite flavors.
Loved my sample! Delicious! May need to order some!
Missed the original, after having to give up caffeine. So happy the have a favorite in a decaf version now!
A couple years ago, I had requested that this be made in a decaf. I'm so glad I can now drink my favorite tea any time of the day or night.
This tea is delicious! And I love that it's decaf so I can drink it at anytime of day.
I was very disappointed. It seemed like all the tea I got was old with no flavor
Excellent tea. Brings out all the warm feeling of the holidays. Cozy and warm and satisfying.
I received this as a sample and I’m so glad I did. This could be the perfect tea for a fall afternoon. The spices are subtle but flavorful!
This is one of my all time favorite teas. I’m super excited that it now comes in decaf form, as I can drink it all day now.
I tried this for the first time recently and it has the perfect blend of holiday flavors. Aptly named, it really does lift your spirits as we shift to the winter season. Great to have a low caffeine version to enjoy in the evening.
My wife and I eagerly anticipate the appearance of Comfort & Joy. I made a mistake by ordering the decaf - be careful to select the right one! But my wife was delighted since she drinks both regular and decaf depending on the day. This has a delightful flavor and we highly recommend it.
I received a sample of the Comfort and Joy tea, and I love it ! It has just enough spice, but it’s not overwhelming. It made a deliciously smooth cup of tea, with no caffeine ! Perfect for fall and the upcoming winter months.
I received this tea bag in The Republic of Tea catalog that came in the mail today. It's a chilly, rainy evening so I decided to try it right away. I'm generally not a spice-loving tea drinker, but this one is SO warming and pleasant! Aptly named -- Comfort and Joy indeed!
Great addition to your decaf selections. Lovely flavor - the cinnamon is so nice!
Thanks for the sample, nice way to try a new flavor. Love these flavors but surprised it was decaf. Added a little Hickory honey and oat-milk for a nice evening warm up!
LOVE this tea! The blend of spices is the perfect taste of true Comfort and Joy! Perfect in every way. I will be ordering more!
I absolutely love the comfort and Joy tea. The flavor is spot on. I highly recommend it.
Very excited this came in decaf; the taste is just as wonderful.
great flavor, glad it is decaf
Happiness is a good cup of tea!
Comfort and Joy was always one of my favorite teas but I had to give it up because I can’t have caffeine anymore. I was surprised when I saw a new decaf version. Even though there’s still a small amount of caffeine, it’s just a lovely cup of tea, so I drink it sparingly as a special treat.
I purchased this tea for my Brother and he absolutely loves this as he has long days and used this tea to relax before bed. Because he relaxes after work and its before bedtime, is the reason I chose this sort of spicy and delicious tea. He will be drinking this year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a decaf version of one of my favorites! Comfort and Joy was my go-to tea for many years, but when I had to cut back on caffeine, I stopped drinking it. What a treat to be able to enjoy the warm, spicy goodness of this tea once again.
I absolutely love the Comfort and Joy tea WITH CAFFEINE. The Decaf Comfort and Joy literally has no flavor. Soooo disappointing. If I could I would return. I considered using 2 teabags but that would add caffeine since decaf still has some caffeine.
Excellent Flavor and perfect name for this tea!
Appreciate having this caffeine free option! I enjoy this blend year round.
I was thrilled to see Comfort and Joy offered as a decaf tea this season! Comfort and Joy is a wonderful festive tea and smells and tastes like the holidays to me, but I often avoided it in the later evening due to the caffeine content. This decaf version has the same Christmas-in-a-Cup flavor but without caffeine it is also perfect for a bedtime sip by the fire!
Look no further for Republic of Tea's best holiday flavor! This delivers everything I look for in a Christmas cup of tea. The ingredients don't do the flavors justice... You'll just have to try it. Of all of the samples in the holiday sampler set, this is the one my family wants to keep on hand. So convenient that the company released this decaf option! I recommend keeping this on hand throughout the cold days ahead.
My daughter gave me the first canister, I purchased another and this is my third. I love this tea with ginger snaps.
