This smells like autumn, spicy with a hint of pumpkin. The dry leaves smell creamier than the brewed tea. The brew is a lovely deep orange color matching the falling leaves outside. It’s got kind of a chai vibe because of the spices, but the pumpkin holds its own. This didn’t seem very creamy at first, but it gets creamier as I keep drinking. There’s also maybe a hint of caramel flavor? Am I imagining that? This is one of those teas that makes me sad that I can’t/shouldn’t have black tea. I’m super glad to have tried it though. Many thanks to Stephanie for the swap!

Glad you liked it :) what’s your issue with black teas?

I really don’t know. They just make my tummy hurt. I had some issues with my stomach lining back in grad school and my stomach is still a bit sensitive. I can have a cup or two on occasion, but it’s rarely worth the risk. Same for coffee.
