The package recommends to brew for 4-6 minutes...I brewed for four. The black tea in this teabag was exceptionally weak--the cup was a clear reddish color, and I brewed with only about 6oz. of water. However, the lack of a bold black tea presence was made up for by a strong aroma of spice.
There are different spices in the aroma, and they're fairly balanced...cinnamon is dominant (I'd rather it not be) but you can notice others too. Unfortunately, I also sensed a sort of artificial quality that I could do without...it was almost like a suggestion of vanilla, a creaminess, but...it was a bit odd, off.
I'm not a huge fan.
