Santa's Secret

This is a must for every holiday. It has a fresh peppermint flavor that is not too overpowering, just right.

I got two of these in my advent calendar (which I started early hehe) for some reason. This is CHRISTMAS IN A CUP! Mmmmm so good and minty, kind of candy-like. Definitely worth getting more of.

This tea is the perfect holiday tea! The the black tea and the mint are nicely balanced. It is like Christmas in a cup =)

This is definitely one of my favorite Christmas teas. It’s got a sort of chocolatey minty flavor and is one of the few teas I enjoy black.

I love the smell of this tea. It’s peppermint-ey deliciousness got me excited for Christmas even though it’s only November. The candy cane flavour wasn’t lost when I steeped it, which was nice.I found the black tea flavour a little strong in contrast to the peppermint, so I added a tiny bit of agave to take some of the edge off and I much preferred it. It is very strong and has too much caffeine for me to even consider drinking in the evening, but I can’t imagine drinking something with so much peppermint in the morning. I’m going to give it another chance, probably closer to Christmas. I imagine it would be amazing with a little bit of almond milk!

Didn’t do much for me – not the minty I like.

Emilie sent me this and I was excited to try it. So when huffing the bag the smell was pleasant, minty almost. Nothing mind blowing. Brewed 3 tsp in 16oz of water in my ingenuiTea. Great cup, no bitterness to speak of, but limited sweetness. Its a black with mellow mint hints, which is good. But after my buttered rum experience, I think I held my expectations too high for this one. Definitely worth drinking again, but not a staple for my cupboard. I love mint teas, so it takes a lot for me to be wowed into submission.

mmmmm, just perfect for a lazy, cold winter evening. not too minty, warm vanilla black tea taste. delicious! glad i have a nice fat stockpile of this to last the rest of the cold months until it is (hopefully!) back in stores next winter!

this tea was so amazing – probably my favourite ever. I am so sad i’m finished it and i can’t buy any more (it was only out special for christmas!) I got it as a gift as I do not live near any David’s Tea Locations but it is so delicious, I only got a small amount in a christmas ornament type thing. Reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I would drink it with milk and agave nectar, but thats just how i like to take my black teas always.

I was wondering why my stash was tasting a little lacklustre and then I discovered that I had run out of the little candycanes. When I replenished my supply I remembered why I love this tea. It’s so refreshing and delicious, with the perfect amount of sweetness.
