How does this compare with Harney & Sons Classic Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea?

I love this tea in the orange tin, do not know about the bags in the other container.

I think the taste is the same. I am hook on this tea! We bought the tea bags type but, the strength and taste was not as good.

The one I received wasn't like that. Was Ceylon tea only. Tasted like original tea without Cinnamon or Chia. Maybe be they sent you a different one, or it's a special blend...

I've had the Tea Forte's Earl Grey and this Davidson's is very good, but definitely stronger...more flavorful but stronger in general. I've converted and now the Te Forete version is weak and bland to me...

There is a "major" taste difference to me. I've tried Coffee-Mate and it cannot compare to the flavor of ID. I've been using ID since they first came out with the different international flavors. I love the Irish Creme and my husband loves French Vanilla. FV recently reduced their price and I quickly jumped on it. I don't know why ID is cheaper than CM but I guarantee the flavor is richer! Try it you will love it.

Good question. Glad you asked. I have something like 17 Irish Breakfast Teas, all in bags, because... well, I'm too old and too lazy to fiddle with washing those little metal ball things. Twining's was, typically, my first IBT. Punjana my second, Barry's my third. ALL were excellent, but Bewley's Dublin Morning AND Bewley's IBT are superior, IMO. You didn't ask, but Taylor's of Harrogate beats them all, and Whittard's is top-notch also. Props to Trader Joe's for always being there when I want it, which isn't all that often. Republic of Tea's Pot of Gold Lucky Irish Tea, despite the verbiage, is great as well. Why not try them all? Bet you will buy them all again when you're out. I can't get enough of IBTs.

I have not tasted the Lyons tea so I can't make a comparison. The Yorkshire Gold is a non-bitter tea that I use mostly for iced tea that I blend with Stash's Double Bergamot Earl Grey (equal portions of each). Have received many compliments on this particular combination.

To be honest, I have never tried Good Earth Original Sweet & Spicy tea but every other tea I have tried, cannot compare to the cinnamon taste of this one. This one is very tasty and I love it.

To me the flavor is somewhat more complex and sophisticated than that of an average black tea. It is more mellow and less sharp. I drink it every morning and like it very much.

The overall taste in my opinion is spicy. Not spicy hot, but like cinnamon and clove. It doesn't taste bad. It has a hint of citrus taste, but more on the spicy side.

I prefer original. It is the scent that put Old Spice "on the map" a long time ago.

This answer came from ask.com.Cinnamon powder is not exactly the same as ground cinnamon. For cooking purposes, they can be interchanged. Ground cinnamon has a stronger flavor but a shorter shelf life.The Frontier brand you are asking about is powdered. It is ground more fine that the standard cinnamon you find at a typical grocery store. The Ceylon cinnamon has a fresher, stronger cinnamon scent and flavor. After buying and trying this brand of cinnamon I gave away what I had left of the McCormic brand. I use it just as I would have any other cinnamon.

I have not had the Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea but the Hot Cinnamon Spice has a very rich cinnamon flavor that develops with steeping. There are also hints of orange and clove and a slight sweetness. It is best when served as hot as you can drink it. Don't think it wold make a good iced tea.

This Ceylon cinnamon is a very "fine" cinnamon. It's almost like a powder so it doesn't "clump" and float on top of tea like non cinnamon. It's easy to stir into tea and seems to blend well. I wasn't sure if it settled on the bottom or not though, so I tried it this morning. Unfortunately, I got interrupted before I finished my tea and it sat on my desk longer than usual. When I finished it, there was some cinnamon left in the bottom of the cup. I don't know if settled out because it sat longer or if it would have settled there anyway. Since it blended into the tea so much easier than non ceylon cinnamon, I think if I had stirred the tea when I came back to it the cinnamon may not have settle to the bottom but I don't know that for sure. There was definitely not as much cinnamon on the bottom of the cup as what I had put in.

Linda, I haven't used Gathering of Saffron, but I can vouch for the intensity and flavor of La Mancha. I first received this as a gift, then bought it for myself when I ran out (years later). I see that now the price has doubled since I received my first tin, so I suggest you jump on it and buy the big one! Cheers, MLR

I drink both and find that the Good Earth Sweet & Spicy is a bit sweeter than this one. The Harney has a more spicy flavor that is a bit stronger.

This is so different from Saigon cinnamon. It take some getting "used to". Yes, it does not have that real strong cinnamon smell and does not have that "bite". I make a lot of cinnamon sugar (diabetic), cinnamon buns, bread and cookies. It took a while, but my family really can taste the difference. In fact I had someone ask me "how do you make your cinnamon sugar, its so good". You may want to use half Saigon Cinnamon and half of the Ceylon Cinnamon till you can taste the difference.

I know that Vietnamese Cinnamon has an amazing flavor; however, I only use Ceylon now because of its lower coumarin levels. There is a definite link to liver failure with the higher amounts of coumarin, as much as 6-7 times in the Vietnamese vs. Ceylon. I actually like the taste of this cinnamon and am very content with my purchase. Sorry that I cannot recommend a Vietnamese cinnamon. Good luck with your search:)
