This was a comforting and festive cup of tea. The flavors all worked well together and none of them overpowered the others. I really enjoyed that the cinnamon was soft and sweet rather than super spicy. The vanilla added a really pleasant hint of creaminess while the mint and candy cane provided a cooling aftertaste. I did find myself wishing for more candy cane pieces but that probably would have thrown the balance off. The base black tea was earthy and sweet but subtle enough to provide a stage for the other ingredients to shine. Overall this was a well put together blend that brought the flavors of the season to mind without being over the top. This the second blend that I’ve tried from +iHeartTeas and I’ve been very impressed with both of them.
