Detailed Description
I've often thought it was a shame that candy canes are only commercially popular in the winter season. Our local candy shop makes them in about 4 flavors, but only during the winter months. I know that's when they sell the most, of course, but I want them more often. I love the refreshing, sweet taste of these holiday treats. So naturally I was determined to make a tea blend that would allow me to enjoy this taste all year long. Through much testing, we decided we liked the taste best on our organic green rooibos. And since the candy cane flavor is natural we were happy to be able to offer this organic herbal blend that will delight young and old alike.

It's fabulous hot or iced (so yes you can enjoy it in the summer too!) and with no added sugar, this calorie free blend is sure to please. The aroma of the dry leaf is amazing - a definite mood booster - with its euphoric aroma of minty sweetness. When brewed, this herbal blend has a taste that is tingly, refreshing, and harkens me back to my childhood - or rather just last December….. The taste lingers delicately and deliciously on the tongue. A cup of this tea brings joy to our day and we hope it does the same for you!

Ingredients: Organic green Rooibos, natural candy cane flavor and organic stevia.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 5 minutes.

Caffeine free

Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

 Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
Chocolate and mint … a perfect combination especially during the holiday season! We infused our organic Candy Cane Rooibos Holiday tisane in butter for a delicious, sweet mint flavor.

"Tea" butter:
7 oz butter
3 Tbsp Organic Candy Cane Rooibos

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the Candy Cane tisane and steep on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and steep for 5 minutes. Strain the leaves from the butter using a fine strainer or cheesecloth. Some of the butter clings to the tea leaves, so always make sure to use more butter than a recipe calls for when making infused tea butters. I strained the tea butter into a measuring cup to make sure I had enough for my cookies. Once strained, cool the butter so it solidifies.


Cookies:
½ cup (4oz) "tea" butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
Crushed candy canes (for the topping)

Pre-heat the oven to 400 and lightly grease a cookie sheet.

In an electric mixer beat the "tea" butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.

 Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
Stir the flour, cocoa, cream of tartar and soda together. Gradually add to the sugar/butter mixture until incorporated.

Roll the dough into balls and flatten in the palm of your hand. Cover one side of the cookie with the crushed candy cane pieces. Place on the greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

These cookies make great holiday gifts and are perfect for holiday cookie swaps.

Happy baking!

My favorite minty mint tea 7/26/2021
I ordered several minty teas here for a taste-off and this won. It's green rooibos, so don't fear it if you're not a red rooibos fan. This really has that "candy cane" taste to it. I'm finding I need to cut back on the caffeine for health reasons. :-( I used to drink a LOT of black tea. So I've been searching for non-cafffeinated things I can drink because I've yet to find a decaf black tea I like. This one is a winner and goes on my reorder list.
 
Delicate and delicious! 12/22/2020
Wow!! The candy cane is spot on, not too strong and not too subtle - perfect! I am not a fan of Rooibos tea but this tea has changed my perspective on Rooibos and glad I took the chance to try it! This will be on my regular nightly cup rotation!

Favorite 7/4/2020
This tea was just as delicious as I had hoped it would be. So sweet and minty and authentic. The flavor truly is like a candy cane. You get some nice tingling from the mint, and the flavor lingers for a long time. Really super great. I cold brew the leaves for a wonderful second steep the next day.

Christmas in a Cup 2/19/2020
This tea has a wonderful candy cane taste that is everything that Christmas should be. Such a nice treat during the holiday season.

A must for any Candy Cane lover!!! 11/25/2019
One of my favorites during the Christmas season are candy canes. This organic green rooibos tea really tastes like candy canes!! It's absolutely delicious, with the perfect amount of flavoring. I'm definitely going to order more!

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!
- Tricia, OK
 
Neutral 4/9/2019
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 ! 2/1/2019
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.

Melted Candy Canes In A Cup ! 11/22/2018
With the ingredient of stevia, no sugar is needed for this tea in order to make a hot drink of melted candy canes in a cup.

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 3/31/2018
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.

Crisp refreshing and absolutely awesome iced 6/15/2017
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.
- Laura Ann Grymes, TX
 
Candy Cane Rooibos 4/13/2017
This is a good winter tea to brew w/ sugar, milk and dark cocoa powder. It kind of reminds one of a peppermint patty

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 2/15/2016
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.
- Molly, CT
 
Delicious anytime! 11/25/2015
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!
- JANICE GILES, CO
 
Candy Cane Organice Rooibus 1/10/2014
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.

soothing and yummy 5/15/2013
I love this tea, it is smooth and has a mild peppermint flavor just like the flavor of a real candy cane. This rates as one of my favorites. In fact I am enjoying a cup right now!
- Dee, NE
 
Truly a delight to sip on. 2/9/2013
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.
- Maggie, CT
 
Festive and Delicious! 12/30/2012
This was my first purchase of this wonderful roobios, but it wont be my last! So sweet and delicious - hardly needs sweetener. Especially perfect for the holidays, but Id drink it year round!
- Tara L., CT
 
Delicious! 12/21/2012
Refreshing yet relaxing, with a light, sweet aroma and taste. For me, a great cuppa all by itself to end a hectic day.

Candy Cane Rooibos 12/6/2012
Incredibly peppermintelicious and it looks pretty too! I have packaged it up for friends for Christmas. If you mix it with some chocolate almond milk it makes a great latte!
