Celestial SeasoningsBlack Tea, Nutcracker Sweet, 18 Count (Pack of 6)

Celestial Seasonings Sweet Harvest PumpkinPrice I Paid: >$4/1 box(Free shipping due to amazon add-on)Caff-O-Meter: 30mg according to websiteIngredients:Black Tea, Cinnamon, Ginger, Roasted Chicory, Natural Pumpkin Flavor With Other Natural Flavors (Soy Lecithin), Luo Han Guo, Cloves, Nutmeg, Natural Sweetener (Stevia Extract) and Pumpkin.This is the first time I have ever heard of Luo Han Guo, it is another (low/no cal) sweetener that appears to have been in use in the Asian province for years (what else are they hiding from us!). I would recommend taking some time to research it if you're interested, it makes many claims of benefits, but I am not informed enough to say whether or not they are true. Either way the use of this ingredient would not sway my purchase one way or the other unless the alternative was extremely high in g of sugar or made with the sweeteners known to cause issues.-Smell(5) - Amazing smell! This is my favorite smelling tea thus far, the reminiscent of fall is definitely in there, closely reminds me of Sweet potatoes when cooked and prepared but stronger.-Taste+*Unsweetened:*I prefer my teas Iced and 1 cup to .5 packet of sweetener. So unless it wows me, without sweetener will always be lower in points so to compensate I (usually)add .5 points to the unsweetened taste average. However the sweetness in this stands out on its own as it contains sweetener extract therefore I am not going to give it the typical .5 compensation. Hot (5) - I have never come across a tea with such a naturally sweet flavor to it (likely attributed to the 2 natural sweeteners). I would be happy just drinking this hot with no sweetener (Iced is my preferred tea). Vanilla is the flavor that is standing out to me the most which is odd because its not listed, unless its under one of the natural flavors. Iced (4.5) - slightly thinner taste, this is likely attributed to the melting of the ice when I poured it over. The flavor is still sweet and taste is good I could easily drink this with no sweetener.+Sweetened Hot (4)- Adding the sweetener (1 pkg of truvia) almost makes it to sweet for me but the flavor is still there and it is still good. It definitely makes the artificial sweetener stand out. Iced (5) - WOW! Perfect! Gets me right in the mood for fall, so far this is the best tea I have ever had (flavored at least)-2nd Steep - (4) it weakens a little bit on the flavor but it still makes a great cup of tea, I didn't have try a 3rd steep but I would assume you could stretch it out to 3 maybe more. I did not deduct from this however because for a 2nd steep to still have as much flavor as it did is impressiveSummary - A solid 5 star tea, This tea is possibly the best tea I have ever had, I would precaution you that I do like my items on the sweeter side, and this had the sweetness naturally (read above on Luo Han Guo). Some of you may find this too sweet or "fake" sweet, it appears the sweeteners are natural though from my limited research.If you must have some pumpkin tea now, here is a decent method to get you by (don't expect a miracle of flavor). Pumpkin pie spice (I prefer 1 tsp per 16 oz water) "steep" it for 5 minutes hot water then add your preferred tea for a normal steep time. Strain/Sweeten to preference. I use plain lipton loose leaf for now but I can't wait to try this with plain rooibos when I get it. I have many other teas for fall to try, so keep checking back. To get a better idea of whether or not we have similar tastes in teas check out my profile (I used to actually hate tea). And yes, I may have too much time on my hands.

This is really nice tea. The flavor is strong and smooth.

I love to add this tea to a chai mix, to make a pumpkin-flavored autumn drink.

I have been drinking Nutcracker tea for about 15 years and I absolutely LOVE it!! The taste is wonderful, the aroma is slightly cinnamon, and the little "kick" of caffeine is perfect for mornings or whenever you need a little pick me up! I drink a cup every morning and would be lost without it!!

So I did a stupid and did not think that it would be actual 6 boxes of this tea. Not complaining!! It’s perfect so I can store it and use it for next fall seasons to come!! I’ve always loved the flavor and it’s not too overpowering.For a good “fall in a mug” drink use this tea bag, and add a psl creamer to it!! (I love Chobani). Optional: add 1 tbsp of honey.

Last winter when every store was discounting their "pumpkin flavored everything" I found this tea at the grocery store in clearance aisle. I love pumpkin and it was quite inexpensive so I bought the last 3 boxes, thinking if it didn't care for it I wouldn't be wasting a lot of money.I usually sweeten my hot tea with honey or sugar twin boy this has is own sweetness. I loved it and was sad that I'd likely have to wait until fall came around to find it again. Then I looked here and YES Amazon had it so I ordered a case. I've always been happy with any Celestial Seasons tea and this didn't disappoint. I like it hot or even iced. I gave a box to the kids to try and I've still got plenty in my stash to keep me happy for awhile. If you like black tea and pumpkin anything, give it a try.

I absolutely love the smell and flavor of this black tea! It is my goto tea every morning and glad I can find it year round on Amazon. The tea has just a hint of vanilla and is smooth-tasting.

I used to buy every year at Christmas time. This is not the same. The original had a cinnamon taste. This shipment tasted like fake vanilla. Very dissappointed!

Love this tea! It is not stocked in my local grocery stores and is kind of hard to find. Has a pleasant taste that is definitely calming

Yo conozco esta marca desde hace mucho tiempo. Pero desde que dejaron de vender este sabor en México entré en pánico. Por suerte lo encontré en Amazon. Deliciosa esta mezcla de yerbas, selección especial para relajarse sin adormecer.

I couldn't find a pumpkin tea like my discontinued favourite and this is super close. Very happy with it!

I really like the idea of a black tea with cinnamon - this tea pulls it off nicely. Everyone in the family to try it has been impressed.

Product works as described. Just wish I could find it in our local stores.
