I absolutely LOVE this tea! It is delicious both hot and iced. It is perfect for those of us who have a sweet tooth (such as myself!) :) The flavor combination of candy canes and chocolate is simply divine on the pallet. It tastes even better with some rock sugar in it, altho it is pretty sweet to begin with so you really don’t need any extra sugar. It all depends on your personal taste. As for the taste, when you drink it hot, it tastes just like hot chocolate. If you drink it iced, it tastes just like an Andes candy or mint chocolate chip ice cream. The perfect winter companion in my opinion. I will always be sure to have this delicious treat in stock!
