Harney Sons Classic Cinnamon Sachets Reviews Summary

Taste & Flavor

Pros:

• "It has a smooth, cinnamon taste that isn't too intense."
• "It isn't too strong, had a nice fruity and vanilla taste to it, and with some Coffeemate Natural Cream creamer, it tasted incredible."
• "The cinnamon spice flavor is so tasty that I dont even need sweetener."
• "It tastes rich and nuanced in flavor, with enough vanilla to sweeten it and balance out the citrus notes, which are pronounced without being perfumey."
• "This tea is more vanilla than it is floral."
• "It’s fruity and reminds me of blueberry."
• "The tea flavor is lovely, I really like the Fruity flavor with pop of orange, and smooth finish of vanilla."

Cons:

• "I was expecting a box of loose tea, which this is not; it's 20 pyramid-shaped teabags in a surprisingly large tin for that number of bags."
• "It doesn't taste like any other English Breakfast Tea I've ever had before, and the cinnamon notes were off-putting for me personally."
• "I wanted to love this tea so, so much but it was not for me. It tasted like I brewed crushed up flowers from a flower pot or was drinking perfume."
• "Given how good the hot cinnamon tea is, I was excited to try the English breakfast. It is terrible."
• "I bought English Breakfast and found it to be extremely lacking."
• "The flavor is boring too light and bland and sugar didn’t fix it."
• "Imagine you are drinking old lady perfume. That's what this tea is like."

Packaging & Presentation

Pros:

• "They come in these metal tins, which are great and old-timey to have after you drink all your tea."
• "Beautiful packaging, lovely bags, and quality product."
• "And the little tin it comes in is quite adorable too to use for other things after you've run out of tea."
• "It comes in an adorable tin that is simple for gifting."
• "The presentation tin is beautiful as well, so regal!"
• "The tea comes in silky little sachets that are so impressive and the flavor is wonderful!"
• "The sachets are silky and high quality."

Cons:

• "Usually Harney is great. I love their teas. But this tin has a LOT of bags with tears."
• "The only problem I had was my package arriving smashed, but no tea bags were broken so I'm not that bothered by it."
• "Just be careful what you order it with because the tin came damaged on my last order due to being squashed by a heavier item."
• "The tin came damaged, which is what I've been seeing a lot of complaints about as well, so was disappointed with that, but it's a small inconvenience, since the product was still good."
• "Unfortunately, gift recipient told us the Tin of tea was previously opened, outer security wrap was missing, and the tea that they normally like very much was not the tea they received."
• "However, one of the tins was damaged in the shipping."
• "I ordered these as a gift. They arrived dented, but the outside box was in perfect condition."

Value & Price

Pros:

• "The price isn't terrible either."
• "Each pyramid bag is capable of rebrewing for another cup."
• "The convenient sachets make it easy to brew a single cup at a time with no mess."
• "It's a great price and it comes in a nice tin box."
• "And at 20 sachets per tin, it's an excellent value for such a high quality flavored black tea."
• "I can purchase cheaper directly from the Harney and Sons website. Never assume Amazon has the lowest price."
• "An expensive tea, but very much worth it."

Cons:

• "I love this tea and of course the beautiful tins they come in, but the price is twice what they cost at Publix and Kroger for the exact same item."
• "It took two bags to 12 oz water to get the nice, rich flavor that I like which makes this too expensive for me to use. But it is good!"
• "I'm not going to continue paying that price just because it comes in a nice tin."
• "The Amazon price is higher than at my grocery, too, so it's not a deal."
• "Pricing on the other hand is greedy."
• "There's very little tea in each sachet, and I can't imagine using fewer than 2 bags to try to make drinking this an enjoyable experience."
• "The last 3 containers, that arrived from Amazon are definitely Not the same tea."
