I actually didn't try this as it was a gift for my mother. She loves the taste and is a huge fan of Candy Canes!
This wonderfully smooth, minty treat that will fill you with a warm Christmas spirit and leave you jolly. There's no need to wait for a visit from Old Saint Nick to enjoy this yuletide favorite.

This blend has replaced all peppermint tea in my house. It has a light sweetness that really makes it superior.
This is delicious and very creamy. My favorite peppermint tea because it isn't overly sharp peppermint, flavor is nicely balanced.
A nice seasonal tea that is not as strong as other peppermint forward teas. A good balance of taste.
This candy cane is so amazing! I love the peppermint taste
This is one of our favorites. Perfect if you love peppermint.
I didn't fully open the bag and I could smell the candy cane. When steeping the smell was a little odd but I think it might have been because of the black tea. My initial thought when I took the first sip was that i thought it was a little weird. After a few more sips the flavor grew on me and I actually like it.
I needed the mint today because my allergies are horrible and I'm all stuffed up. I feel much better now since the mint opened up the sinuses
Black tea is not my favorite, but this candy cane tea makes the black tea tolerable for me. I really like it! I just have to remember to steep for only about 2 minutes otherwise the black tea is too bitter for my preference and takes over the whole flavor. I've ordered this twice, usually around christmas time, and will continue!
Bracing! In a good way. Strong and sweet peppermint vanilla flavor. They didn't skimp on the flavoring with this one.
I tried this tea for Christmas instead of getting the Tinsel Teas this year, but then was afraid it would be too 'candy cane'. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it is the perfect blend of the peppermint flavor with the tea. I don't add anything, but just enjoy that hit of sweet. This would be refreshing and pleasant any time of year..
Candy cane tea has a strong, pleasant peppermint flavor. It was good, not amazing but a sweet and fun seasonal tea.
9/10 Really good tea. There definitely is a fake peppermint taste to the candy cane pieces. Still a very, very good tea.
This is hands down my favorite holiday tea. Such a clean and crisp, but warm flavor. The candy cane notes are strong but subtle. Perfection.
This is a perfect peppermint tea. It had a slight taste of chocolate mint. Not overpowering and very enjoyable. For my next cup I will add some crushed candy cane to the tea.
Touch of vanilla flavor on top of delicious peppermint flavor. Distinct enough from a generic peppermint that it is worth it. Quite tasty
This might be a holiday tea, but it has quickly become one of my favorite. I tend to want a sweet tea to start my day with, and this always hits the mark. A sweet vanilla/cream black tea balanced out with mint.
I love this tea! It has a distinct minty flavor, but it's not as overpowering as a pure mint tea would be.
This tea literally tastes like a candy cane! I was really impressed with the cooling mint sensation. Perfect for Christmas morning, definitely will have it next year!
I'm writing this more for myself but I was hesitating between giving it a 3 or 4 stars because while it taste fine,I guess I was expecting it to taste more minty/pepermint!Then again it's indeed CANDY cane so the taste is more an emphasis on the sugar-sweet(but not overwelming) taste with hints of mint!So I would suggest it to someone that would look for something minty but not too strongly so if that make sense! :)
Very overpowering mint flavor. Very sweet by itself. I mixed it with decaf vanilla and it was just right
I like the vanilla in the cozy candy came better, but this is good too. It tastes like candy canes, but isn’t too overwhelming of a peppermint.
Candy Cane Tea is a staple for our holidays, and my absolute favorite tea from Adagio. A perfect compliment to holiday goodies, and delicious black or with milk. The black tea balances with sweet powerful peppermint, like you're holding all the magic of Christmas in your cup. I love a strong brew, but not over 3-5 min.
This is a tea that has become part of my Advent rituals. I've gifted it to others over and over, and my tea-loving friends are all wild about it. Classic and exciting.
Love this tea! It is a favorite at Christmas. I would recommend it.
Fantastic tea—this is one of my holy grail teas that I always find myself reaching for. This is great for A pick me up at work.
These tea leaves smell so delightful- really clears out the nasal passage! The minty taste isn't overwhelming, but it's just different enough to make it interesting and different to plain black tea. Also, the candy cane flavor itself makes it unique compared to peppermint tea! I added a bit of sugar, though it probably wasn't strictly necessary, and it's good with or without milk.
Update: I have been an Adagio customer almost since the beginning. I drink a pot of tea every morning and, this is still my favorite tea. I buy it by the pound. The black tea is not bitter and the candy cane gives it just the right amount of mint flavor without being too sweet.
Old: My favorite holiday tea. I wish I could buy it year-round. Pleasant minty taste but not sweet like you would think. Just the right amount of candy cane was added.
This was honestly really peppermint. I wasn't sure if I loved it or if I just loved that it was definitely candy cane. Either way. No doubt that this is candy cane
Love this one! It truly has a candy cane taste with the sweetness so it doesn’t taste like pure “peppermint”.
Very yummy!! I loved the candy cane flavor! It was super delicious. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes candycanes
I enjoy the candy cane pieces in the mix. It is a cozy, festive flavor, perfect for the holiday season. Tastes of peppermint and vanilla.
Minty fresh! if you like mint tea - this is a great choice. Small packages could be good for office gifts or stocking stuffers.
I will definitely ve purchasing a larger bag of this one during the holidays. It is absolutely delicious
this tastes very similar to one of my favorite teas from DavidsTea, Santa's Secret. Very peppermint-y and refreshing!
This is one of my favorite teas! It’s great as a latte and puts me in the holiday spirit.
The whiff that hit upon opening the packet brought me back to elementary school. Specifically, the tablets we received when learning about oral hygiene. You chewed them, making your teeth red. The goal was to brush until all the red was gone. Not a great smell (or experience) then; no better now.
Once brewed, the peppermint was not as prevalent, but there was another, almost artificial scent and taste. It reminded me of microwavable popcorn butter. No idea why. Perhaps it was the candy cane pieces? Unfortunately, a no go.
A very good mint tea with actual candy cane pieces.
When I think tea can’t get any better Adagio does it again. What a great winter tea. This one is best with a tinge of sweetener to really bring out the candy cane flavor over just peppermint.
This was a nice tea - the peppermint of the candy cane came shinning through. It is a great way to start off December!
This is a good cup of tea, love the candy cane. Enjoy!😊
Oh my goodness this tastes just like a candy cane when a couple drops of stevia is added! It’s a perfect Christmas tea.
I think I was expecting this tea to be similar to peppermint herbal tea but it was quite different. The black tea gave it a boldness that you don't get with just peppermint herbal tea. It was good and minty. Next time I will have to try with some creamer.
I'm a mint fan and overall enjoyed this, but it felt a little one-note for me. Some light cream or vanilla flavor would have probably made this cup more enjoyable.
I can't swing this blend as it's so extremely minty with the peppermint and candy canes. Not a fan of mint, unfortunately, but I still gave it a fair shot. If you enjoy candy canes and peppermint, it'll be a great blend. If not, this is just overwhelming mint to the point it completely smothers even the base taste of the black tea; only mint exists.
I definitely got a mint flavor with this, but I wasn’t a huge fan of this blended with the black tea. I think this is better with a sweeter tea, IMO.
I love this tea! I am a fan of black tea and a fan of peppermint tea! The depth supplied by the black tea made the peppermint flavor all the more enjoyable!
This is an okay tea. Not as strong of a candy cane flavor as I hoped. I like normal peppermint teas more than the candy cane flavor.
I have been an Adagio customer for almost a year now and I can’t believe I haven’t had this blend before today. It’s such a wonderful and smooth blend of peppermint with the tea. Sometimes I’m hesitant about teas with mint in them but this one is so well done. It is certainly going to go on my wishlist!
This is a very minty brew. Knowing my unlove of minty blacks, I added almond syrup and milk which improved it. Still for me mint is something I drink when I don't want caffiene and this can't overcome that.
This is pretty much exactly what you'd expect for a candy cane tea! Since there's actual candy cane pieces the tea has a slight sweetness on its own that I love. I added a splash of milk and my vanilla syrup and it was one of the best morning cups I've had!
One of my favorite Christmas teas ever. I love how minty it is and it is VERY minty. Definitely puts me in a wintery mood.
Brewed at 212 F for maybe 5 minutes or so and served black.
