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!
