Santa's Secret Tea: Holiday Flavor Profile

Quick answer

Santa's Secret Tea is a sweet, minty, and spicy black tea blend with real candy cane pieces. It is both uplifting and soothing, not a heavy dessert tea or a plain peppermint tea.

Myth vs. Fact: Santa's Secret Tea

• Myth: It tastes like straight peppermint candy.: Fact: The peppermint is present but mellowed by Chinese black tea and warm spices. The candy cane pieces add a subtle sweetness, not an overpowering mint blast.
• Myth: It's a heavy dessert tea.: Fact: The tea base is uplifting and remarkably soothing, not thick or syrupy. It works as a morning or afternoon tea, not just an after-dinner treat.
• Myth: You can't taste the black tea.: Fact: Chinese black tea provides a smooth, malty foundation that carries the peppermint and spice. The tea flavor is clear and not drowned out by the additions. Try it as a latte—the tea's character still shines through milk.
