drank Pumpkin Earl Grey by DAVIDsTEA
1711 tasting notes

Got this in the subscription box. I was hoping that the fall box would have some pumpkin tea in it, so I was excited to see this. I drank it down pretty quickly and this is my last cup. Although I enjoy it I’m not quite sure how I feel about this. Would I buy it again? I don’t know. There is a nice pumpkin flavor and it’s interesting to taste it paired with bergamot instead of just pumpkin spice. Is it this particular bergamot that I’m not sold on? I almost want to buy another bag to have more time to sort out how I feel about it. There is a little clove tang on the finish that is a little tingly, which I don’t recall in other cups. Perhaps it’s a result of dumping the last of the bag in the steeper. Super glad this one isn’t packed with stevia like many other David’s teas. Also really happy to have a new pumpkin tea to try this year!

I used a reward to order this one with my advent calendar, I’m excited for it! :3

Yeah, this stevia situation in DTs is always a worry. My interest in this one is piqued. Maybe even enough to venture out and get a wee bit.

Dustin

It’s worth a go IMO. :)

Thanks, Dustin. The thing is that COVId has shut down all their stores that were in my direct path. So, we’ll see if I can hunt up another one placed more or less in my travels.

They shut down all their US stores, which is really sad. I think they shut the last few down right after the pandemic started, but some disappeared before. Probably a smart business move, not paying rent for a year and a half on pricey well placed stores that would be closed.

We have only one left, in a shopping mall which I do my best to avoid. I wonder if they will open up a few more if/when normality resumes. Agreed about the smart business move. All of their shops were street level in neighbourhood with a lot of street traffic. Of course, during the lockdown, there was no street traffic. I guess we’ll see.

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
