It's good coffee but does not smell like candy cane or taste like flavored coffee.

It is good coffee, but needs more candy cane flavor. I add peppermint stevia to mine to increase the flavor. After that, it is perfect!

Flavor was not nearly as strong as I would like it, or that I have had with other peppermint flavored coffees. I will probably look for something with a little stronger flavor that I can get year round. Also, I have a Bunn coffee maker and every bag I have opened, ground and brewed right away has made quite a mess by overflowing the filter. All other pots brewed after the first have been fine. I'd recommend grinding at least the night before.

I use this for my second cup in the morning. It adds just enough of a mint flavor without tasting watered down.

Tastes and smells like a cup of candy cane. Lovely flavor , balanced , and overall a good cup of coffee.
