Taster’s Review:

This is the tea that we’ve been waiting for … the newest tea to the Southern Boy Teas lineup.  And I do hope that Frank (of 52Teas/Southern Boy Teas) does decide to keep this Candy Cane iced tea in his Southern Boy Teas collection because it’s so good!

It’s got a crisp, cool mint taste to it with just a hint of sweet vanilla-y flavor.  These flavors are balanced with the rich tasting black tea.  I like that the mint is strong and minty but it isn’t taking over.  It’s a strong mint flavor but it doesn’t taste like someone added mouthwash to my glass of iced tea.

The creamy undertones add just enough sweetness to make this taste like a candy cane without making it come off as too sweet.  While one doesn’t usually associate iced tea with Christmastime … this glass of iced tea does indeed taste like Christmas!  It makes me think of the day after Christmas, when it’s alright to start taking the candy canes off the tree and enjoying them.

Just the right amount of all the components to create a really refreshing glass of iced tea that I’d be happy to enjoy year ’round!

Well, that’s it … that’s the end of this year’s 12 Iced Teas of Christmas from Southern Boy Teas.  I had fun with this countdown, I hope you did too.
