Looking for Orange Spice Tea Recommendations

Since my regular loose orange spice tea source dried up, I would appreciate any recommendations for a loose orange spice tea. I'm not interested in the muted or bitter tasting stuff that's sold in grocery stores.



I'm looking for a loose orange spice tea that is sweet with "a kick" to it. I used to buy a brand of loose orange spice tea from a Bay Area restaurant named Hobee's, before my previous tea source. It was great, sweet tasting tea. Unfortunately, the tea blend must have changed, because the tea flavor changed to a bitter taste.



Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

I like to take a spoonful of a heavy-style tea, like a Ceylon Uva BOP, add in a little dried orange zest and a pinch of ground cloves, then make a cup of tea. Sometimes I'll throw in a cardamon or two, split open.

OK if you mean something along the lines of Bigelow's "Constant Comment?" then the stuff at Tribute Tea for about 7$ 1/4 lb is pretty nice, esp with honey.

Upton has Sweet Orange once again after a long hiatus. I like it because I don't care for a lot of cinnamon. They also have an Orange Spice but I've never had that one. They do have sample sizes.

It's from the spice store next to the fish place at the Seattle market. Heavy on the cinnamon, great (real) orange flavor and pieces. Very strong blend, absolutely delicious.
