My Review:

While finishing up my Christmas shopping yesterday (Yes I know, I’m horrible at leaving things until the last minute) my sister and I stopped in at David’s Tea. I’m a big fan of peppermint tea and the really nice girl at David’s told me I should try this one so I got a cup.

I asked the girl if I could see the actual tea mixture before she steeped my cup of tea. This tea is very pretty and it reminds me of Christmas. There are lots of peppermint leaves, white chocolate shavings that look like snow, and pink peppercorns that remind me of holly berries. This tea smells very minty.

The recommended brewing is 1.25 tsp. of White Chocolate Frost, water heated to 96 degrees Celsius (or 205 degrees Fahrenheit), steeped for 3-5 minutes. I let my cup steep for 5 minutes and had them add a pump of agave.

Once steeped, this tea has a very strong peppermint smell. The taste is also very minty, but has a very pleasant ending of white chocolate. The white chocolate taste is not too overpowering, considering that this tea has both white chocolate and white chocolate mousse flavouring (artificial and natural). This tea reminds me so much of Christmas. When I was trying to describe the flavour to my sister (who HATES peppermint tea), I think I actually told her that it tastes like a snowflake, but I think a more accurate description would be white chocolate peppermint bark.

All-in-all, if you like peppermint tea, then I think you will enjoy this tea. It is a very true peppermint tea that is enhanced by the white chocolate end notes, but not overpowered. I can see myself curled up in front of the fireplace with a cup of this (if only it wasn’t a limited edition item).
