I will start out by saying that from the name alone, this tea sounds like one that would have traditionally been among my favorites. Appropriately enough, the tea has a delightful orange spice aroma although it did not strike me as quite as spicy as I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I was quite prepared to thoroughly enjoy this cup of tea. While I have to say it was a good cup of tea, it did lack the depth of spice that I would have preferred. The spice that I could detect was clove, much more so than cinnamon, not that that is necessarily a bad thing, just not what I was expecting. Like Stephen, I didn’t really notice anything resembling vanilla in the taste.

This was a pleasant cup of tea, but probably not one that I would purchase again simply because I personally prefer more spice when I am in the mood for this type of tea. To someone who prefers a lighter mix of spice and citrus, it would probably come much closer to living up to their expectations.
