Can a candy cane actually be sort of good for you? When it's the main flavor of Trader Joe's Candy Cane Green Tea, and answer is ... yes! This seasonal treat is aromatic and playful—but not as much of a kick in the gut as some other green teas on the market.

The blend is transcendent and sipping it calls to mind the mirth and wonderment I felt as a child during Christmastime. Plus, it’s decaffeinated, so having a cuppa doesn't give me the same spasmodic sugar rush as a regular candy cane.

This writer is liable to drink at least three cups a day. It’s an un-guilty pleasure that makes my workdays feel a little merrier. It even has a narwhal on the box—a Christmas narwhal! How can I resist?
