Ingredients: Rooibos, Peppermint Leaves, Orange Peels, Cinnamon Pieces, Chicory, Vanilla Pods, Natural Mint, Vanilla and Irish Cream Flavours

Review: It smells vile, sickly and sweet.  It's overpowering, too - you can smell it right across the room.  But, unlike most English Tea Shop flavours, it actually tastes like its name!  This really is like drinking candy canes - but less sweet.  You can't taste the rooibos; we suspect it simply warms up the blend.  There's no terrible after-taste.  The peppermint wakes up the mouth in a pleasant way.  It's even...dare we say it...sort of good!

We're a little disappointed we don't hate this.  With each sip, it becomes yet more enjoyable...even though everything tells us we shouldn't like it.  It's a lovely little Christmas blend - but we'd really like to know how you can have 'natural' Irish cream 'flavouring'!

Best time of year to drink this: Christmas.

Best time of day to drink this: Afternoons / evenings.
