Sassy Citrus & Spice begins with familiar tea flavors—cinnamon, clove, orange—and builds a complex, nuanced blend around them. Rooibos gives depth and a full-bodied feel. Then hibiscus comes up with a slightly tart finish, tempered by the fruity sweetness of apples and orange peel. The spices balance each other well: the cinnamon is prominent, but not overpowering. If you like a little spice, this is a fun tea without being too hot. On a cold day, this colorful and caffeine-free blend will keep you cozy and warm. Or, when the weather turns hot, Sassy Citrus & Spice makes a superb iced or chilled tea! Truly a blend for all seasons. Cinnamon, sometimes referred to as cassia, is a warming spice, said to be endowed with immense healing power. It comes from the inner bark of several related trees, which originated in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Cinnamon came to a worldwide audience following the European Spice Trade expeditions. Imagine a world without cinnamon! I’d rather.
