The good reviews are baffling. This tastes like perfumy dishwater. Had to throw it out after the few sips.

The smell of mint from the bag is intense! The strong mint flavor blends well with the black tea. Candy Cane tea is a favorite in our house!

I honestly just can’t with this one. I was SO excited about it too. But it was very oily, not a pleasant taste, like peppermint essential oil (I LOVE peppermint) straight up. It also left an oily coating in my mouth and throat.

It smelled like those “soft” candy canes when I opened it. It was very minty, almost that menthol mint with a hint of vanilla. It’s a black tea and had a black tea after taste. I added a touch of oat milk Towards the end and that was tasty. I think actual creamer would be delightful in this.

OMG-This, first and foremost, is the best smelling tea EVER! Also, I don’t typically like sweet black teas (or sweet teas) but the peppermint gives it that extra spiciness and punch.

Great flavor for the holiday season crisp and clear in flavor

★★★★★

Delicious! It has a smooth peppermint flavor. Strong peppermint scent in the package but brewed isn't overpowering. Will buy this again. Holiday favorite.

★★★★★

I only wish I had bought a bigger size. I will be purchasing this again, for sure. Perfect sweet peppermint flavor and aroma! So glad I tried it!

★★★★★

Absolutely LOVE this tea! It embodies the true flavor of a Candy Cane. It is my new mid-morning go-to. While perfect for the holiday season--I'll be drinking this one year round.

I really like this one! I accidentally steeped it for longer than recommended and it still tastes good. Great for the holidays!

This is a very nice tasting tea, especially if you put a little honey in it. That said, it does just taste like any other peppermint tea.

Perfect blend for a winter cup of tea. I don't feel any of the flavors overpower.

★★★★★

I can't wait for this to arrive! The other singular flavors of black tea have been so great from this brand.

★★★★★

Definitely one of my favorite teas. It's perfectly Christmas-y. The black tea is very smooth. The candy cane flavor is perfect, not overwhelming at all, balanced just right with the tea. It's emphatically not just a peppermint flavor, but the flavor of a candy cane specifically.
Because of the candy cane pieces it's already a little sweet when it's brewed but I do add just a little sugar because I've got a sweet tooth. It doesn't want any milk for me.
I got this tea in the Christmas teas sampler set and after my first cup of candy cane I bought a big bag of it. Looking forward to making it my new Christmas tradition!!

★★☆☆☆

Waaaay too minty for my tastes, to be honest. Not like a mint tea -- I love mint tea and drink it often! -- but like a breath mint. Nicer with a lot of oat milk and some sugar. I love most Adagio flavored teas, but this was one of their rare misses.

Great Tea! I love the taste and the aroma of this tea.

★★★★☆

This is right up my alley. I look forward to limited-edition holiday peppermint-flavored chocolate and ice cream all year, like some people wait for pumpkin spice things to show up in the fall. This isn't just a regular peppermint-flavored black tea. Similar, but there's a deeper, creamy candy-like quality to the flavor as well. If there are any candy pieces in there, they are very small since I can't really see them, but the flavor works really well here. 4 stars = I don't think I like it well enough to drink it every day, but I'll likely be ordering more once the sample runs out and have it from time to time as a break from my standard flavors.

★★★★★

Perfect winter tea!
Excellent flavor and cooling to a sore throat

★★★★☆

A nice mellow mint tea with vanilla notes that make it a relaxing afternoon cup of yum.

This is easily one of my favorite teas. I love it as is but will also add a drop or two of vanilla which brings it to the next level

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea so far!! The combination of flavors is just perfect

★★★★★

This is not just a holiday treat. It is full of flavor and never disappoints. It is full of vanilla and peppermint. Gives a bit of a kick as well.

★★★★☆

I like this seasonal flavor a lot. It's bright and fresh, the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

★★★★★

tastes like the candy cane tea i remember having as a small child, but with caffeine.

★★★★★

This one is my FAVORITE! If you like mint, this one is for you. It's currently my regular morning drink.

Tastes like there is vanilla in this tea. Not the taste or small I expected from a tea called Candy Cane

★★★★★

My daughter loves this tea by itself, but I like to mix it with chocolate truffle. Amazing!!

★★★★★

Love. Love love. Such a great tea for after dinner treat.

★★★★★

This is the perfect morning blend for the holidays - it tastes like Christmas! I love strong flavors, so I always steep mine a little longer.

Wow! I was reluctant to try this one - although I m fond of the mint flavored green tea, I just didn t think a minty black tea could be very good. I am delighted to discover how wrong I was. The flavors in this tea work beautifully together. The mint tones are bright and fresh, but are also tempered by the black tea so that the mint doesn t overpower. While this is a welcome addition to my holiday tea selection, this is a tea I ll want to have on hand year-round. A wonderful surprise, I m glad I gave it a try.

★★★★★

I love winter/Christmas teas! This tastes like a festive treat!

I was planning to wait until after Thanksgiving to open this tea--so glad I didn't! It's delicious and decadent. I wasn't sure about the candy cane pieces, as I try to avoid added sugar, but they are are tiny and just enough to add a pop of color and flavor. Lovely!

★★★★★

This tea is better than I thought it would be. It has a nice creamy mint taste that isn’t over powering but is the focal point. Glad I ordered the big bag.

★★★★☆

Tastes very much like a candy cane. I am excited to drink this during the holidays.

★★★★★

Amazing tea! The black tea pairs very nicely with the mint and none of the flavors are too overpowering. My one complaint would be that there’s a bit of a bitter/dry aftertaste but that shouldn’t be a problem if you have food with it or add sugar (it’s okay without added sweetener but MUCH better with it)

★★★★☆

Solid peppermint black tea, although it had a very sweet and almost artificial edge to the smell. The flavor was a good balance between the tea and peppermint flavors.

I was concerned at first cause it has an overwhelming vanilla smell. But with a little touch of cream it absolutely tastes like a candy cane.

★★★★★

Delicious and refreshing! Very fun blend to enjoy!
