Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride: As the brew is cooking, the aroma of sugar cookies is evident; that is, until actually tasting the supposed holiday blend. The box is right when stating that it has a simple taste with a hint of vanilla, but delightful it is not. The tea itself contains no flavor of the actual sugar cookie and instead leaves behind an atrocious after-taste. Yes, it is without the refined sweeteners or added sugars, so it won’t affect your everyday calorie intake. But, this tea does not make me feel like I’m partaking freely in the pleasures of the season like the box claims you will.
Sugar Plum Spice: When first opened, an overwhelming amount of ginger was smelled. Wary at first being a non-ginger admirer, the tea proved itself worthy. Having only a small amount of ginger noticeable and a hint of vanilla when consumed, the tea held a sweetness coming from both ingredients including the sweet taste of plums. Warm to the senses and complimentary to the stomach, over-all consider the Sugar Plum Spice to be a perfect buy for the sweet tooth’s cravings.
Candy Cane Lane: In this decaffeinated green tea, the seasonal flavors are unmistakable. With the fresh smell of peppermint and the distinctive taste of vanilla, the low calorie tea gives your mouth not only a watery taste but also the after feeling of a tingly tongue. This is most likely from the large amount of mint used in the first place. Candy Canes are already considered a cherished symbol of the holiday season. If you are a fan of peppermint, consider this the tea for you. Either way, acknowledge the tea as a festive way to show the holiday season.
