Worth the upgrade... |
7/7/2019 |
| As someone that usually makes Moroccan mint tea with green tea from the farmer's market and mint from the backyard, I couldn't see the point in buying candy cane flavored tea. But then I tried it. In 2019, I've already ordered 1.5 lbs. No joke. It's my favorite tea on a cool-cold evening, snuggled up with a book by the fireplace. If you're a fan of mint, give it a try...it's like Christmas without the calories. |

Favorite Rooibos Tisane |
7/3/2019 |
| This is my absolute favorite Rooibos tisane. I love the peppermint twist taste and the fact that it is caffeine-free. (I limit my caffeine consumption for medical reasons). Yummy! |

| Either I like something or I don't. This is not the case with the Candy Cane tea. It isn't my favorite, but I don't dislike it.
The best way to describe it is that it is a twist on traditional mint tea. A little more flavorful and interesting than regular mint tea. For lack of a better word a little bit of a sparkle.
It didn't taste like a candy cane to me. |

This taste just like a candy cane ! |

| I don't know how you guy's do it but this Really tastes just like a candy cane. I was blown away by how accurate the flavor Really is. If you want to sip on a candy cane this is it. While I Love the flavor the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because when I drink it, it does not really relax me but makes me a little hyper which is weird because it's caffeine free but it kind of races my heart a little bit, which I don't like, but I love the flavor. |

Very Minty |
10/27/2018 |
| This is a very minty tea. Although I've found most flavors in the S&V teas to be quite subtle, this one is really minty -- almost too minty for me. It certainly does taste like you are enjoying a candy cane (which is too minty for me also). Thinking of adding a touch of lemon next time to tone down the mint and maybe it will taste like that "candy cane in a lemon" treat I remember as a child. |

An extremely accurate CANDY CANE tea and extremely delicious! |
7/27/2018 |
| This blend is extremely minty, and I love extremely minty blends. The leaves are incredibly festive with red rooibos, green rooibos and red & white flowers. (I've already been thinking today that the holidays will soon be here, but mint is also a lovely blend to have in the summer.) This blend also has stevia in it, which might be why I didn't like it before. Possibly stevia is not so good as it ages? But it seems to be okay in the blend this time around. Now to the flavor: both steeps are amazing. It actually has that perfect proportion of flavor qualities that a candy cane has: extremely minty, very sweet, with that hint of creaminess. So the name for this tea is VERY accurate. All on the ever unobtrusive rooibos base that S&V uses in their blends. (Even rooibos haters could love the rooibos that S&V uses in their blends.) Yet another amazing blend from Simpson & Vail! AND oh my gosh, I just noticed S&V has two new dessert blends!! Baklava! Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble!
Steep #1 // 1 1/4 teaspoons for a full mug// 10 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep |

perfect Christmas gift |

| I gifted the tea to a dear friend for Christmas--she has raved about the "smoothness" of the tea both prepared hot and as iced tea. |

Pleasantly minty |
1/1/2018 |
| This tea has a ever so slightly sweet peppermint flavor that really sparkles in combination with the green rooibos. The mint is very clean/warm rather than earthy. It makes for a peppy and invigorating cup that is nice at any time of day. Kudos on the pairing, which I wouldn't have ordinarily considered. |

Candy Cane Delight |
12/9/2017 |
| I ended up receiving this as a sample and decided to try it out in the evening. The aroma coming from the package is invigorating! I've had other candy cane teas and honestly never liked them due to it just being peppermint, so I wasn't sure how I would react to this. After my first sip I actually said "WOW" out loud. It's sweet and full of a good candy cane kick! A very flavorful cup indeed. |

| This is fabulous and delicious iced or hot.
Its a crisp peppermint flavor and naturally sweet with the rooibos.
I love this tea and wish I had ordered more.
I will reorder this again and its delicious and refreshing for summer. |

I was so looking forward to |
12/1/2016 |
| I was so looking forward to drinking the Candy Cane tisane and purchased it at the Brookfield store. I brewed a pot and discovered the brew has a definite unpleasant after taste. I tried it again with same results. I like the mint flavor but cannot drink this. I will ask friends if they like it and give away the tin to someone. |

Candy Cane Lane Just Got Upgraded! |
7/9/2016 |
| For many years I was a yearly hoarder of Candy Cane Lane tea whenever it came into season... I shamelessly hid it in my drawers at home so my sister wouldnt drink it all up on me.
This tea has everything that I loved about that, but better. The flavors are more distinct, the refreshing body feel is better. If you love Candy Cane Lane... get this, its better. Its also great for sinus headaches, if you get those at night. I hope S&V keeps making more green rooibos blends, they make the absolute best nightcap teas! |

Simply the best |

| My absolute favorite mint tisane I have ever had! It needs nothing as it is perfect as is. Tried it this evening with some chamomile mixed in and it is Delish! It is definitely a staple in my collection. |

| This is one of my favorite S&V teas--great for an afternoon or for after dinner. I am not a minty-tea lover, but I like the light freshness of this one! |

| This rooibus is a winner! Everyone loves this tea! The peppermint candy cane flavor is just right - not overpowering with a touch of sweetness. Its perfect for after dinner, with its naturally decaf rooibus, and its cooling relaxing flavor. |

Truly a delight to sip on. |

| This particular flavored blend of Rooibos is just great. I and my Mom happen to love the flavor of candy canes be it hard candy, ice cream, etc.... This is a great transition into a nice warm soothing cuppa! I added a packet of raw sugar to a 14 oz cup and it becomes an after dinner treat. My Mom loves it straight from the teapot. |

If you mix it with some chocolate almond milk it makes a great latte! |
