If this tea even slightly intrigues you, take these words as your great sign from the universe to buy it. Yes, we all know this is sales copy. But this tea is warm and sweet and yes of course, very cinnamon-y. It’s hands-down, our favorite this month. Guaranteed to bring back those kitchen counter memories or your money back.
Ingredients: Cinnamon, cinnamon bits (sugar, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, cocoa powder, natural & artificial flavor, salt, soy lecithin, artificial flavor) rooibos, licorice root, natural & artificial flavors.
Company description not available.
I appreciate that the name is clearly trying to dance around Cinnamon Toast Crunch’s trademark, but there’s something about the word “munch” that sounds so unappealing to me and, as a coworker pointed out to me, the image on the overwrap of the sachets looks a bit like tuna sandwich…
So I feel like there was a lot working against this before I even had a chance to taste it.
It’s not really that I feel like this is a bad tea but it’s definitely not one that I particularly enjoyed a lot. It’s very cinnamon, very creamy, and very licorice root. None of the flavours are bad but they’ve definitely stepped into cloying territory for me where the mug just gets a little sickly. I don’t especially love licorice root, so that note is a real kicker for me – in a negative way. There’s a familiar and kind of nostalgic “Saturday Morning Cartoons” quality to it though, so I guess points for managing to capture the feeling of slurping up Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal milk while watching TV in my PJs…
This tea is really oily. Lots of cinnamon. It has a cinnamon stick taste in the sip and a dried and powdered cinnamon taste in the finish with a light almost baking soda like sensation flashing by. The rooibos flavor isn’t bothering me here! There is a sweetness to this tea from the licorice root. There is also partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil in this, which is a first in a tea for me and also a HUGE turn off. I try to avoid all partially hydrogenated oils in my diet. Maybe that’s what is floating on the top of my tea. I feel like I can pick out the toast part if we are comparing this to the similarly named breakfast cereal. I’m getting a little bit of rooibos dry mouth in the finish, which I dislike. Flavor wise this tea is enjoyable, but the ph oil is a dead stop for me.
Palm oil in general is a turn-off, this is just a big yikes.
Yeah, I hear bad things about the production of palm oil. I hear bad things health wise about partially hydrogenated oils, so it’s a double blech for me. The tea had cinnamon confection chips in it that had the oil in it. Like a chocolate chip, but cinnamon.
Such a shame, I’m sure they could have done it without the chips!

So this sounds very tasty, and the name makes me want cereal…
However, it’s mostly just a cinnamon rooibos. There’s maybe a slight buttery note from the cinnamon chips that melted and created an oily top on my cuppa. There’s also some sweetness, probably from those chips. Otherwise, there’s a slightly odd mineral note.
It’s fine and pleasant, but no more special or desserty than any other cinnamon candy rooibos.
