Day 24 - DavidsTea Advent calendar

Day 24 and the last day of the Advent calendar! Today's tea is Santa's Secret - a black tea! (if it had been something herbal I would have lost it, ha ha!!).

From the website:

Need a little helper?

Ever wonder how Santa manages to deliver all those presents in just one night? Well here’s the hush-hush formula. He uses a special combination of Chinese black tea, peppermint leaves and spices – all sprinkled with real little candy canes. It’s both energizing and remarkably soothing. All Santa needs is one cup and his motto changes from “ho ho ho” to “go go go”.”

Best served: Hot Tea / Tea Latte / Tea Pop

Ingredients

Black tea, peppermint, sprinkles (sugar, rice flour, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil, corn starch, natural and artificial flavours, cellulose gum, red 40 Lake, mono and diglycerides, carrageenan, titanium dioxide (colour), polysorbate 60

Overall Impression: Now...let's take a look at all of those ingredients in the sprinkles - YIKES!! Aside from that, this was a really nice tea! The smell was great, the flavour was great...I'm actually just about to make myself another cup of it, and use up the rest of the tin. Way to go, DavidsTea, you ended on a high note (other than those sprinkles, aiee)!
