Candy Cane Customer Reviews

One of the best peppermint teas I've ever had. Kind of a creamy mint tea. I have ordered this many times--it's one I like to always have on hand

Smells wonderful out of the bag. Ridiculously sweet, but in a good way. You can definitely smell the peppermint after brewing. With a little milk and sugar, it's a really nice mint tea. Not overpowering. I'd get it again.

As someone who does not greatly enjoy anything mint flavored, I enjoyed this tea a lot. It was full of flavor but not overwhelming. I'd buy it full sized!

Doesn't remind me of Christmas quite as much of the Christmas blend, but it's still pretty great, and it doesn't turn your mouth colours like real candy canes. :P

This is one of my favorite teas from this site. It even has little pieces of candy cane in it and it tastes like you're drinking a candy cane. I highly recommend it.

WOW! This tea is amazing. I knew this was going to be a great tea when I first opened the bag and got a strong whiff of peppermint and vanilla. This tea perfumed the entire house while it was brewing and scented the air with the pleasant aroma of candied peppermint. The real test is the taste and I was not dissapointed but am highly impressed with the wonderful candy vanilla peppermint goodness. Don't wait till Xmas to try this blend as this is a great anytime treat especially if you love peppermint and vanilla, which in my book there is no better flavor combo. This is best served with a stevia sweetner and bit of cream. I wish there was a 10 star rating option because this tea qualifies.

A wonderful pepperminty tea that I didn't think I would like but did! Tastes even more wonderful if you mix in a bit of chocolate chip tea!

My whole family loves this blend. It's refreshing, strong, and just what it should be.

Strong minty flavor. I like to mix this with the chocolate tea to make a 'peppermint patty' flavor.

This is definitely one for the holiday's. Strong peppermint flavor makes for a good wake-me-up in the morning.

I went into this tea assuming it would probably be a standard-fare mint with a small twist to make it seasonal - I was beyond surprised at how good this tea was. The mint is as smooth as can be and the peppermint of the candy cane has just the right amount of strength. The creaminess of this tea is phenomenal, I could go on about it for days. The creaminess should not be undersold. This tea captures the essence of candy without making it an overly sweet tea. Worth trying by candy can fanatics and skeptics alike.

A nice sweet treat to enjoy at any time. Little weak, but sometimes, that all you want. I tend to oversteep this one to let the peppermint melt a little more.

I have always absolutely adored this tea in blends!! I'm not one to drink a tea straight on its own, but this one may end up being one I try that way, delicious and definitely a favourite, this tea is Christmas in a cup!

Ahh, so minty, so good! It's actually less minty than the herbal stuff (which I'm pretty sure is just dried mint leaves), but still pretty powerful in my opinion.

Year-round favorite! The best of the flavored black teas. Does not get bitter if you steep too long and has a nice, refreshing, but not overpowering vanilla/mint flavor.

Appreciated by recipient. I have not tried this tea myself.

I think I didn't store it right, so the tea went bad and didn't taste right. I'll store it better next time.

This one is invigorating. I use a little more sweetener than usual with this one to make it more true to life. =)

Refreshing and crisp...this is a delicious and fun tea combination that is perfect for the holidays but you shouldn't stop there - this is a tea that is equally good year round.

My favorite Christmas flavor. The right amount of candy cane and tea combined!

Not the best I've had but it is an enjoyable tea. It's great for blending, I believe.

Just the hint of mint brings the black tea to life. If you are a fan of mint you will enjoy this tea.

Enjoy the Christmas spirit all year long with the sweet and minty black tea.

This tea reminds me of Christmas, no matter what time of year it is! I made the mistake of overstepping the first time, but the second time, it tasted perfect when steeped the right time. :D This brews well a second time as well. It is the tea I goto when I want something a little sweet to stave off my sweet tooth and keep me from reaching for the bag of cookies!

OHHHHH I am so in love with this tea!!! I drink it every morning! I am getting low though.. :(((

Got this right around Christmas so it was perfect. Not my favorite, but I drink a cup now and then.

It's about what I expected, has the same creamy mint flavor of a candy cane, but it also leaves a slightly artificial aftertaste behind. It's a good Christmas tea but I don't foresee myself getting through this sample any time soon.

Liquid candy cane. I kid you not! It tastes great on it's own, but also amazing with cream!

I wasn't a fan of this - I was hoping it'd end up tasting like a sweeter black/peppermint mix but the candy cane flavor was very fake and cloying. Even smelling it in the bag it was overwhelming in a bad way. Glad I only bought the sample size.

This is a lovely tea for around Christmastime! Make sure not to steep it too long, it gets bitter a little easily.

It's like a light candy cane flavor. A sip is almost like taking a lick of a candy cane.

This was a fun minty holiday tea, it was great brewed strong with a little splash of milk added.

If you're a fan of purely mint tea, then this one is for you. It wasn't for my liking though. It was all mint without anything else to grab you and draw you in. I think I'm going to try the chocolate candy cane next winter season.

Perfect favor considering I don't actually like candy canes. The mint taste is just light enough that it isn't overpowering at all.

This smells great in the bag, but the candy cane flavor is lost once brewed. I keep it for blending with chocolate tea, but this likely won't be a re-order for me.

This tea turns out REALLY STRONG, so do NOT put too much into each cup or it will become way overpowering. Good otherwise.

While this tea was good, it was not a favorite. I loved the smell of it but it left a weird feeling after each sip. It almost felt like I took a hit of cough medicine with a great taste and that an medicine or alcohol vapor burn after.

I wasn't sure what to expect from 'candy cane tea' but this was surprisingly fantastic. It actually tastes like candy canes, but without being overly sweet [I don't like sugar in my tea] - overall, a fantastic idea!

Great after taste. The smell isn't the greatest. Not bad, just ok.

I didn't have high hopes for this tea and got it mainly to enjoy for Christmas, buut it just knocked my socks off! The peppermint and the candy canes make for a sweet, refreshing, and downright invigorating mint when combined with the black tea. Not too strong for people who are hesitant about ceylons, and a really good pick-me-up for days when you just feel low-energy and tired. I'm definitely picking up a bag to enjoy year-round!

I had a sample of candy cane I'd gotten free at some point but had misplaced, finally finding it when I was moving a couple months ago. When I first opened it, it smelled sort of cloyingly sweet--like fake peppermint--but I decided to give it a try. Turns out, it's lovely to drink! The smell continues to not be my favorite, but it's a little sweet and minty without being overpowering. Definitely a new favorite--I bought a bigger bag!

At first I wasn't sure about this tea but love it now. It is really refreshing. Like a peppermint candy. Brew it long enough for a deep flavor. It didn't seem to be too strong at even 4 minutes.

A good minty tea that really tasted like candy canes. A nice holiday treat.

Best taken with milk and sugar to bring out the candy cane flavor, great on a cold morning for a zesty change of pace.

This tea tastes just as a candy cane would. The aroma is so minty. It is a great tea to have for the cold season.

Love it! Good peppermint flavor and not to overpowering

Mixed this with the Chocolate chip fo a guilt free refreshing treat.

Very yummy!! Just the thing to hit the spot this time of year.

I liked the minty black tea but I wouldn't call it 'candy cane'. I did not taste a candy type mint to me it was more like a spearmint flavor.

This was my first tea order. Perfect for the holiday season.
