Rock You Like A Candy Cane

This tastes very similar to other candy cane black teas I’ve had in the past, especially a Davidstea one…I can’t remember which. It’s basically what you’d expect. I taste a lot of sweet, creamy mintiness, along with the black base. It’s nice with milk, but it doesnt stand out front the crowd. I usually make my second steeps pretty concentrated since I don’t trust flavored teas to have much strength left. However, I accidentally made a full sized resteep of this, and it was fantastic! So minty and fresh, maybe even better than the first steep. I didn’t use milk for that one.

Advent Day 23

Apparently I have tried this blend before, but I have no recollection of tasting it (found a tasting note in my tasting spreadsheet).This is a fine peppermint black tea- a bit of creaminess, a bit of a chocolatey note.

Adventaggedon Day 23: Tea 6/8

Apparently ask and you shall receive. I mentioned yesterday in one of my tasting notes that I didn’t think we’d had any candy cane blends yet and the advent Gods responded with a definitive “Oh, yeah? Here’s three!”. Miraculously though, despite all being distinctly candy cane tasting, they all felt super different from each other as well!

I enjoyed this one as a brisker black tea with more of a sweet mint note – akin to DT’s Santa’s Secret but just a bit stronger and no cream/fondant note. It got a little bitter as it cooled so I’ll know to watch that in the future, since this is actually a Brutaliteas blend I already owned but had not yet tried.

Probably my least favourite of the three candy cane teas today, but still solid!
