Cafe Ole by HEB Candy Cane Ground Coffee 12 Ounce Bag

Cafe Ole by H-E-B Candy Cane Ground Coffee 12 Oz. Bag

Peppermint and dark chocolate, the holiday in a mug.

Candy Cane is one of Cafe Ole's full-bodied holiday roasts, and it leans into the season without pretending to be subtle. This is a coffee built on peppermint and dark chocolate - the cool, crisp mint up front, and a rich, slightly bittersweet chocolate underneath to keep it grounded. It is the flavor of a candy cane that learned to behave around coffee, sweet and bright on top with a dark, toasty base that keeps it from turning into dessert water.

The full body is what holds it together. There is enough weight to the cup that the peppermint does not run away with it, and the dark chocolate folds into the roast so the whole thing tastes like a proper cup of coffee first and a holiday treat a close second. It drinks black without going harsh, and it takes a splash of cream or milk beautifully, especially if you want to push it all the way into peppermint mocha territory.

This is the bag for the weeks when a little seasonal flavor is the whole point. It is the morning cup in December, the pot you brew when company is over and the cookies come out, and the one that makes the kitchen smell like the season without a single candle lit.

Ground and ready to brew, so there is no grinder or guesswork between you and the first peppermint sip. Drip, pour-over, French press, it handles all of them. The 12-ounce bag is the right size to carry you through the holidays and leave just enough for one indulgence in January.

Shipped from Denton, Texas. Peppermint, dark chocolate, and a full-bodied holiday.
