Just came from Target and they have the most amazing (at least sounding) teas! Candy cane, Gingerbread, cookie dough and vanilla almond! My GD is goig to love hte candy cane one! I was thinking of saving it for her stocking, but can't wait to have a cup of tea with her so I think I'll just let it be ours to enjoy! I used to grow spearmint from stock that has been growing for 30 years, but during those bad fires here in Ca I lost what little bit the possum didn't eat weeks before! We used to "harvest" it, and make fresh brewed mint tea. We miss that! The candy cane will be her favorite, followed by the cookie dough! I will be taste testing in the morning!

Mmmmm...sounds wonderful. Since we travel between two homes in separate states, I lose all my plants twice a year, so it is hard to keep perennials, as the agricultural laws prohibit transporting live plants. 30 year-old stock is pretty impressive, and I am so sorry you lost your spearmint (but glad you were safe in the fires).
Hubby found some of the Starbuck's Dark Chocolate Mint coffee in 4-packs at the Dollar General Store. When we get another mint plant growing, he'll probably experiment with making his own version. Not being a coffee drinker, I didn't try any. They are building a Target in our town and as it appears to be almost done, we will soon go in and check out those teas!

Chocolate mint! That sounds great! General Foods International Coffes had a chocolate mint flavaor years ago and te discontinuedit. I have asked them several times to bring it back, but they don't listen to me!!!!

We usually get all of our teas from Teavana because we use loose leaf. A couple of years ago I saw Candy Cane tea at Walmart and decided to grab a box to try. It really is tasty. Although I really enjoy mixing up my own loose leaf concoctions, I use this as an alternative when I am in a hurry.
I haven't tried any of the others you listed but I would love to hear how the cookie dough tasted!
