The aroma is dominantly cinnamon, and there's also a strong suggestion of vanilla, which I suspect is from the mate. Creamy overall character. Not much complexity, especially given how many ingredients there are. This blend contains appreciable amounts of red rooibos, but I can't find it in the aroma. I also cannot notice the cardamom.

Overall, disappointing, especially in comparison with Teavana's other blends, which I've found tend to be quite outstanding.

I think this blend would be greatly enriched by toning down the cinnamon, and perhaps, reducing the amount of mate as well. The mate and cinnamon seem to exclude any of the other aromas.

Also, this blend is pricey, given the low cost of the various ingredients in it. There's nothing really expensive as a main ingredient in this blend, to justify the high price.
