Don't touch it
Very poor quality, has dusty taste and smells awful, not at all like cinnamon. I think they used the floor sweepings!!
not cinnamon
doesn't smell like cinnamon at all. like they ground the bark of any of tree. wonder what happened
Disappointing
Design of Tesco plastic lid is very poor fitting, wastes contents. Prefer screw top to be more secure and retain spice intensity of flavour.
Cinnamon Bitter taste.
Been buying Tesco Cinnamon for years, but this last purchase (April 2021) is SO different. I've experienced a very Harsh, Bitter taste. Not fragrant in any way. In fact I've thrown it away it's that bad. AFTER my findings I went on to read other reviews and found I'm not alone with this experience. Unfortunately I will have to start buying elsewhere.
Great Product
I really like this product, I had to buy Schwartz Ground Cinnamon once as this was out of stock. I couldn't tell any difference between this and the higher priced branded one, even when having them next to each other (of course I'm no expert).
don't have an issue with it

Awful
This doesn't taste like cinnamon at all. It has a smoky taste and fragrance, really bizarre. Not suitable for sweet dishes at all.
change the lids
The tops are too loose.
Not cinnamon but mostly ginger...
First time I bought Tesco's after being using Schwartz for years since I moved to the UK and this smelled like ginger right away! Not the usual aroma, not even from the cinnamon you would get in USA, Germany, Spain, Angola, Venezuela... Some people said this is “Ceylon (true) cinnamon” however I’ve been using Ceylon and other sources, ground and sticks, and they also smell just like everyone’s use to (just like the Schwartz)... I have not tasted all the existing cinnamons however I guess no one should smell and taste like ginger with a faint hints of cinnamon. I though about some mixup during grinding but I can see this is not just a bad batch issue as there have been bad reviews for months and months! Something for Tesco to look at... how can someone get ground cinnamon so wrong?????
probably not actual cinnamon
not good flavour, indeed it does not really have the cinnamon flavour i am familiar with; it is, perhaps, some different spice. it is light greyish brown in colour and quite speckled.
