The dry leaves smell very pepperminty because of the candy cane pieces, and there’s almost no trace of the vanilla.
Liquor is clear and red-amber. The peppermint taste and scent is much more prominent than the vanilla, which only sort of appears as an after-taste. As a lover of peppermint teas, this is definitely right up my alley. However, I’m also a big fan of vanilla rooibos and I do miss the vanilla flavour. If I can find a loose-leaf vanilla rooibos I like, I’d probably try blend them to bring out the vanilla flavour. I also like a stronger tea, so I’d probably use more tea next time.
