leaf in hot water drank Pumpkin Spice Brulee by Teavana

89 tasting notes

This was one of the better holiday teas from Tvana. The smell of spiced pumpkin reminds me of Starbucks’ PSL which I suppose is not surprising especially now they own the company.

A nice warm tea for winter. Has white chocolate pieces but I don’t really taste them in the drink, though they did leave some specks of oil on the tea. The main note is cinnamon, clove, other spices and a hint of pumpkin.

Methinks this has potential to try out as a tea latte next – a tea version of PSL.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Pumpkin, Spices

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 7 OZ / 207 ML

finding myself in hot water again and again…

I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.

Now I can’t get enough of it!

I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!
