Sipdown. Splitting a pot of this with mom for tonight because we both wanted an herbal and this sounded good. Sadly I don’t get a lot of ginger from this—there is a touch, but I would love more. The pumpkin and spices are in good balance, though, and there’s a creaminess like cheesecake. Honeybush is a great base for this combination, but I’m missing something to push it over the top. Extra ginger would do it, or a touch of vanilla, but as it is this is just good and not great.

Bio
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
