Pumpkin tea showdown! I drank 5 pumpkin teas side by side for comparison.
Dry, this has a strong blend of natural spices. Cinnamon take over in the scent. Heaviest on the tea with only a few other spices in the steeper basket after steeping. The cinnamon is still there after steeping, but the spices have blended more in the scent coming off the cup. It’s very bright on the sip and strong. I’m using smaller mugs than usual for this flight and I fear my usual 1.5 perfect tea spoon may not be so perfect for this tea with this sized mug. This blend had more tea in it than the other blends and it coming off rich. I think it’s the cardamom and clove that are overpowering.
Adding cream… this is much nicer now. The spices are still strong, but are rounded out. The cardamom takes center stage but is blended well with cinnamon and clove. I feel like I can believe in the projection of pumpkin a little more here, but none of these teas really say “pumpkin” to me in flavor. I long to taste the unmistakable flavor of pumpkin in a tea.
Cold… I can drink this cold! It isn’t as nice, but the spices are still present. The start of the sip is a little bland, but mid sip and beyond the spices are there and tasty.
That’s a lot of pumpkin :D. Thanks for the comparision. It was interesting.
