I having my first few sips and so far it is yummy! Minty but not too extreme. I hope it is back next year so I can get more than the little bit that came in the holiday collection.

I really enjoy this one! It’s a nice fun tea for Christmas with the candy canes in it. The minty taste is strong when it first hits your mouth, but doesn’t linger too much, so is quite enjoyable. I often find when eating actual candy canes that the peppermint taste just gets stuck in your mouth and throat, and after a while it isn’t enjoyable – not the case with Santa’s Secret. A fun addition for Christmas.

Just got into tea after a gift from a friend. The scent when opening the pack is wonderful and the taste follows suit. Unexpectedly nice taste (not really a peppermint fan).

This tea is just divine! Like others have previously mentioned, it’s so smooth and creamy-minty-delicious. I find it tastes better and better as the cup cools down a bit. I could and would drink this every day! Definitely getting me in the mood for the holidays and the first snow – when I will hopefully be curled up with a cup on my couch :)

It makes me a little bit anxious for the end of holidays though, when it will start disappearing…eek!

This is just the best. What else can be said? If you are not currently drinking a cup of Santa’s secret, go drink one. Now. Shoo.

I was a bit disappointed with this tea actually. I was really excited to get it, the new seasonal tea and all. And it smells DELICIOUS. Sadly, that scent does not carry over into the tea and all the flavours seem to blend into a generic black blend.

Some of the other reviews have suggested brewing it in some chocolate…which is what I am promptly going to do. After that I will review again.

We had this over the holidays and it was a fun tea. Don’t know if I would want to drink it all year long though but perfect for a snowy day.
