Premium black tea from Sri Lanka flavored with sweet Gingerbread. Both Gingerbread men and women agree: this unique tea is the perfect addition to any house (Gingerbread or regular). A comforting old-world treat, delicious in any season. Warm and cozy, perfect sweetened or not. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

Light cinnamon/spice aroma from the packet. Big piece of orange peel, a couple of tiny pieces of maybe ginger. 2 min @ 165. Tastes like black tea with a hint of cinnamon/spice but not gingerbread. No bitterness or astringency, but not for me.

Love, love, love this tea! The flavor is not overpowering, but is enough to warm you from the inside out. I sometimes mix this tea with other flavors (cinnamon, orange and/or chai) but also love it straight.

It's not the most gingerbready gingerbread tea around, but it makes a nice holiday tea all the same.

This was a nice tasting tea but I was disappointed in the gingerbread flavor. It wasn't strong enough.

Lovely tea! has the sweet aroma and taste of gingerbread. One of my favorite teas to drink during the holiday season!

This is a delicious flavored black tea! The ginger spice is sweet when raw honey is added. I steeped at 190 degrees for 3 minutes.

I absolutely adore gingerbread black tea with cream and honey, to make a decadent winter holiday treat.

Very distinct gingerbread taste here, it feels like you're drinking a cookie! A new holiday favorite for me.

Be careful - this one is easy to oversteep and turn bitter. Dark and bold, I can taste the ginger + something that's kind of sweet that helps help hint at gingerbread. Can't taste much cinnamon, but the orange (peel?) comes through for me.

Mild gingerbread flavors noted. With a little sweetener, it tastes like a gingerbread cookie, with flavor that becomes more pronounced as it cools. A nice holiday tea.

The tea smells like gingerbread cookies, but when it's hot, the flavor of ginger is faint. And as the tea cools, the ginger flavor comes out.

It's good, not my favorite, but nice. Not getting much ginger, which is fine with me. I do taste cinnamon and clove. Better with a touch of sugar.

Ohhhhh so good! Exactly like a gingerbread cookie in a cup (sans the calories of course!). The black tea gives it a nice decadent depth, too.

A wonderful black tea with gingerbread flavors. I add a splash of milk to add a bit of smoothness.

Not very bread, but very ginger. I was hoping for it to have a more vanilla or just general cookie flavor. It's an ok tea, just not what I was expecting.

I had it for the first time during Christmas and it tastes like I'm drinking a liquid gingerbread man. It's very festive and the ginger is perfect .

This is my FAVORITE iced tea flavor. Doesn't seem like gingerbread would be delicious iced, but it is. A little sweetness and a wonderful aroma.

Brewed at 212F for 3 minutes
I had expected a spicy smell to this tea, but I wasn't really get much of anything. As far as the flavor is concerned, I'm not really getting the gingerbread quality to it. There is an ever so slight artificial quality that lingers for a few moments in the back of the throat. Overall it is a decent spiced tea.

While this tea is nice, it really doesn’t taste like gingerbread. It’s spiced like a typical gingerbread but doesn’t really get all the way there

Very astringent black tea with little gingerbread flavor, although the aroma was nice. Clove flavor strong.

The first taste of the first sip didn't really blow me away, but the gingerbread flavor followed a second later and I really enjoyed it. Each sip was like that, which was odd, but I enjoyed it overall

I love black teas, but I am not a super huge fan of gingerbread cookies in general. This tea smells and tastes really wonderful though! On first taste, it's mostly a very light ginger flavor and a nice solid black tea taste, which I am good with! But then you get this perfect aftertaste of gingerbread cookie - literally like you just took a bite of one. It's understated, but I think that's perfect since gingerbread can be an overwhelming flavor if overdone. I probably wouldn't buy more of this simply because I don't really crave gingerbread, but it's a very pleasant tea that I enjoyed a lot.

A solid Meh. I got very little ginger, more of a sort of warm aftertaste than anything. It wasn't bad, just not gingerbready.

Underwhelming, mostly just tasted like your average black tea. Lots of orange peel, no orange flavor. The fake gingerbread aroma wasn't great.
-
Red Wolfe
Kind of a sad tea. No gingerbread flavor at all, just an average black tea. Which sucks, because I love gingerbread.

This tea tastes better when cooled and some raw honey is added to bring out the flavors. Leaves me craving gingerbread cookies now!

I could smell an artificial spice from today's CommuiTea packet. Though there was no scent while steeping, and not really much flavor when hot. After cooling a little, there was a bit of gingerbread-esque flavor, but it wasn't strong enough to the point where I could go, "Yes, that's definitely gingerbread," without knowing beforehand. I wouldn't have even picked out the ginger to be honest. All in all, it was a decent, lightly seasoned black tea.
This is a review for a CommuniTea packet, so here's hoping a larger sampling would yield better results.
Steeped 200F for 4min, the steeped a 2nd time 212F for 6min.

It is certainly unique, not my favorite. It does remind me of some cheaper theme teas

One of the worst spiced teas from here. Tastes artificial and nowhere near gingerbread!

I LIVED for this tea, I shared it with friends at a birthday party. I will have to get more.

I love this tea for fall and winter! I actually like this tea better than Adagio’s Christmas tea for the holidays. I love it with just a bit of cream.

This flavored tea is very light in flavor and the gingerbread can be easy to miss. The black tea is not overpowering or too strong but definitely present while there's a warming mild ginger flavor that is accompanied by a sweet bread/cookie type ending flavor. The first few times I tried this I completely missed the gingerbread flavor and now that I've thoughtfully drank more of it I finally got the gingerbread flavor I was looking for, it is still very light but in a pleasant way.

It's like having Christmas in a cup! The gingerbread flavor is well defined. It's the perfect tea for a cold winter morning.
