Candy Cane Tea from The Tea Store Ottawa
99

Oh my goodness! This tea could get 100 based on smell alone. This is quite possibly the best smelling tea I have ever smelt. It smells exactly like a candy cane. It smells sweet and minty. The mix of cinnamon and peppermint blend perfectly in smell.

The black base comes out at the front with quite the bite, its not something I have experienced in a black tea before. The candy cane taste follows directly after. It tastes just like I’m min Hong on a cane I pulled right off my Christmas tree.

I dont generally add anything to my tea, but I think I’m gonna try adding a rock or two of rock sugar to it.

I don’t think the rock sugar really did much for the tea and I don’t want to add more incase it ruins it. As the tea cooled it lost most of the bite from the black tea and kept the deli opus minty candy cane taste.

This is quite a special tea. I’m glad I took the chance on this company. And I wish you could all try this.

I’m guessing this isn’t available online :( Sounds terrific. My mom has a strange obsession with candy canes lol I would love to get her some. Sounds delicious though. I can’t wait for all the Christmas teas.

It actually is available online. It’s a Canadian company. You can find it at teastore.ca they’ve got so many interesting sounding teas. The names of most are the funnest part.

The Tea Store is pretty great! Any time I’m in Ottawa (which sadly doesn’t happen often, long trip) I try to stop by the byward market to go to lush and the tea store. It’s a lovely shop to visit if you have the chance.
