Somehow, this Bigelow offering escaped me for many years, but it finally emerged from hiding and surrendered to my tea-greedy clutches at a Denver-area hotel—and only then, because striking a huge deer at full speed east of town totaled my vehicle. After that ordeal, and stuck at the hotel amid 30 hours of cold rain until an insurance-paid rental car became available, some hot cinnamon tea was most welcomed. I also took a bag home to drink and review here.
Bigelow didn't skimp on the cinnamon. Indeed, and despite the reasonably robust aroma and flavor, a nice coating of the characteristic rusty colored powder decorated the inside of each wrapper. The cinnamon was far of more a sweet than hot variety, true to advertisement, and stood a little taller in dry and wet aroma, and flavor, than the base tea. That's a good thing. The black tea itself seemed rather flat and mundane...not offputting in any way, just ordinary. Still, whatever flavor the tea had was balanced (counterbalanced?) by the moderately strong cinnamon enough to make a pleasant cup from start to finish, with an aftertaste curiously stronger than the hot flavor.
Was it worth losing a vehicle to the biggest buck the Colorado State Patrol cop ever had seen in Kit Carson County? No. Absolutely not! Still, under the miserable circumstances, it was a small measure of calming and comfort.

For a bagged tea, this isn't bad. It diffuses quickly and has a pleasantly strong aroma and flavor. The cinnamon is at a good intensity for me and it blends well with the black tea. This will be part of my collection of bagged teas at work from now on.

My daughter tried this at a restaurant and told her mother how much she liked it. So my wife picked up 5 boxes - that was 3 years ago. We gave away a couple of boxes to someone who thought they'd like it, but still have 2 boxes left. Very difficult to drink (the cinnamon is overpowering) even when I desperately need a cup of any tea.

I don't like many mass produced teas, and Bigelow's over packaging is a major turn off, but I must say I do find myself drinking this quite a bit. Cinnamon-y but not too strong, I take it with whole milk and sugar.
