Candy Cane Crush

l like this tea. It was a thoughtful decision and all of us in my lab that tried it had to think about it before we decided we all liked it. It has a very strong menthol flavour that is surprising at first but actually wonderful when it’s super cold outside. l wouldn’t drink this as a iced tea in summer like other mint teas.

Oddly enough, when brewed this tea becomes pretty opaque, which I’m pretty sure comes from the white chocolate pieces that dissolve while brewing. It also seems somewhat creamy when brewed (probably the white chocolate again) similar to tea with milk added. This tea is definitely sweet enough to skip additives like cream/milk and sugar though.
I would definitely consider buying more of this tea if I didn’t already have a plethora of loose leaf teas to go through, and mint isn’t common in our household.

I just couldn’t get over the strength of the peppermint in this tea and couldn’t finish the cup. Not my favorite, but may be worthwhile to calm an upset stomach because of all of the peppermint.

Not a huge fan of this. Both the peppermint and the black tea are strong . The tea looks muddy and clogged up my steeper :(

It tastes better as I keep drinking it but I don’t think I’d personally buy it again.

Day 22 DavidsTea 24 Days of Tea advent calendar — Candy Cane Crush. What a fun tea! Looks cute in the steeping basket, though it brews up a bit muddy looking. With a dash of milk, it’s a fine, fun holiday/winter beverage. I’m not into actual candy canes, though I recall liking them a lot as a child. This tea calls to mind that nostalgic vibe from the candy while not being actual candy. The super strong mint keeps the sweetness in check and the chocolate gives it a grounded base, so it all just works. It’s got a bit of creaminess, but I found it did need milk to give it the more satisfying heft it seemed to want.

Just picked some of this up during the annual post-Christmas sale. Not sure if I’d buy it at full retail price, as I tend not to reach for heavily flavoured teas very often, but at 40% off, it’s a winner!

YUM! This had just the right amount of sweetness. I love the peppermint scent and the way all the flavors combine into a creamy, minty, wonderful tea.

This is punch you in the taste buds peppermint, with a strong sweet undercurrent from the white chocolate and snowflake candies. I don’t generally reach for peppermint teas, but when I do so in the future, this would be my go-to.

Oh, man. This stuff smells heavenly. It reminds me of the little mints my grandma always had in her purse. However, it plugged up my steeper pretty badly. It took forever to get it out, and I think it may have had to do with all of the white chocolate bits melting. I’m not sure. The flavor is nice, at least.

I love this tea! It’s wonderfully sugary and decadent, perfect for a chilly morning tea!

This is a nice minty tea with a bit of a creamy touch to it. I had it hot, with a tiny bit of added sugar. It is really like a candy cane in a tea form, with a hint of black tea. It steeps quite dark and flavorful. Just be ready for a bit of an oily feel to it since the white chocolate and candy cane bits do melt.
