HOW IT TASTES: Like fried dough with cozy, sweet cinnamon and a hint of caramel.
cinnfully delicious
Meet our Cinnamon Sugar Churro tea! Like street food enjoyed in the open market of Mexico or late-night summer snacks at the carnival midway, this decadent blend is just as tasty & nostalgic as the real deal. It’s got sweet cinnamon sugar, crispy fried dough and even a little dulce de leche to dip it all into. It’s true what they say—nothing hits a sweet spot quite like a fresh churro! So delicious.
What makes it great:
-Skip the biscuits and do like the Spanish! In Spain, churros are often dipped into coffee or hot chocolate as a morning or afternoon snack, but we think tea is even better ;)
-Real caramel pieces add the perfect sweet & creamy touch—almost like enjoying a fresh churro dipped in dulce de leche!
-Tastes amazing as a hot or iced latte! Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and caramel drizzle for an extra special touch.
Brittle (sugar, hazelnut, invert sugar), Cinnamon, Black tea, Caramel (condensed skim milk, sugar, glucose syrup, butter, sorbitol, mono and diglycerides), Monk fruit, Natural (butterscotch, cinnamon) flavouring.

In many ways this tea is kind of wish fulfillment on my part because I’ve wanted to make a churro tea since about 2021, and actually there were MANY variations on this profile that we tried before landing on this one…
However, personal interest aside, I think you almost have to have been sleeping under a rock to not see how commercial and popular the churro flavour profile has become in the last couple of years. I feel like I turn my head while grocery shopping and I see a new churro something every time. Kit-Kat. Ben & Jerry’s. Oreos. Haagen Dazs Ice Cream Bars. Baileys. Flipz Pretzels. Turtle Chips. Eggos. Bugles. I could literally just go on and on listing even more…
So, I think firstly, this is a sweet tea. It very literally has cinnamon sugar in it in a way that I find very eerily replicates the kind of cinnamon sugar you might have tossed on a bunch of churros fresh out of the frier at, like, a state fair or carnival. It’s really nostalgic to me, and even though it launched in the heart of winter it reminds me so much of the end of summer vacations where the carnival would roll into town for a week and you would BEG your parents to go and for one glorious night you would win stupid plushies at the midway, go on maybe a hundred rides, and eat candy apples, fudge, lemonade, and – yes – churros until you were sick. Just cherished memories. I mean, my very first job was working at a pizza stand (that served macaroni and cheese pizza) on the midway at a carnival right across from a churro booth. That smell of frier oil and cinnamon is practically BURNED into my head.
But sweet cinnamon aside, I think one of the other things I like about this blend is that it does maybe taste just a little greasy? But not in a bad way at all – just in that way that feels authentic to the fact that churros are a deep fried pastry. It’s balanced out by the black tea base which adds a nice amount of body and briskness and then a gentle creamy golden sweetness from the caramel inclusion – like a nod to dulce de leche which is my personal favourite thing to dip churros into, and something I discovered through exploring Mexican cuisine as more of an adult version the straight up cinnamon sugar I was used to from my childhood.
I do think this tea is nice on its own, but in my personal opinion is shines the must with an addition of milk (or alt milk) or if made into a latte. Hot or iced, I think both are really good. Toss a cinnamon stick in there and some foam with a caramel drizzle? Oh, that is HEAVEN in a mug. All my churro tea dreams come true.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
