This was admittedly quite the impulse buy, I tried it in-store today and the sample was… quite watery but the pre-packed tin had such a nice design that I thought “Why not?”. I’m glad that I did pick it up because apparently that put me over the $35 mark and I got a free collectible ornament, so that was a nice surprise.
This tea definitely smells just like a candy cane, the smell is so strong that I don’t get even small notes from the other ingredients in it. When steeped, it turns a surprisingly murky reddish color, which I think is from the white chocolate chips and candy cane pieces. Even straight, this tea is pretty good, it’s very smooth and minty. It gets even better with a touch of milk and sugar though, in my opinion it’s the best seasonal tea that David’s has for winter, based on the current collection.
Overall, I think this is going to be a holiday staple for me and I pray that they bring it back in the coming years as well, because I already can’t get enough of this.
