From Cameron B!  Thanks again!  I figured I MUST write a note for this one before autumn is done and gone.  Hopefully not for a while yet. The leaves are looking gorgeous.  The description has me double checking if I have the correct tea!  It mentions spices, and I really don’t think there are spices here.  When they say pumpkin, they might mean an occasional pumpkin seed.  Otherwise, there might just be an occasional bit of carrot.  I think it’s funny the description warns there might be celery here.  That would be a new tea ingredient!  The flavor to me tastes more like a subtle cocoa.  Maybe this is the base tea?   Sometimes I taste pumpkin seed.  hmm.  I wonder if the creators of this tea actually tried it? I don’t think it is what they were going for.   I get nothing of cinnamon, caramel, pumpkin, carrot, spices, as the description notes.  It would be lovely if I did! 
Steep #1 // 2 teaspoons for a big mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 min

Flavors: Cocoa

This one reminded me of pumpkin soup ha ha.

I would not at all have minded if this were more like pumpkin soup for me, rather than cocoa. I have had it two times now and both times: cocoa. :D

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
