Psychocandy

Thanks to Mastress Alita for sending me this one! I actually first bought a tin of it a year ago from Ashley back when I was just lurking and not leaving reviews. I have a lot of fond memories with this one. It’s a flavor unlike any other tea I’ve had. There’s a murky rooibos flavor, along with pumpkin and a hint of caramel. There also has to be something else that makes this taste so different from other teas, but I’m not sure what. Some sips end with a weird peppery flavor, and I’m not sure what the culprit for that is. Anyway, although it’s not the very best tea, I enjoy this one and am quite pleased to have it in my cupboard once again.

Actual pumpkin with caramel and pops of vanilla creaminess. It isn’t bad and certainly much better hot than cold but this tea is also sweet on sweet on sweet. Perhaps too sweet.

I tried this one hot and deffinitly found it to be quite different than coldbrewed. I also added a splash of almond milk. I get more peanuts and sunflower seed flavour, very nutty, honey, milk, and toffee. I guess it’s a bit like peanut brittle? I don’t know what I expected, but I was hoping for more caramel or pumpkin. Thanks again to CrowKettle for the share. I was considering ordering a bag of this but have decided I don’t need to have it in my cupboard. I really enjoyed tasting it, though.

relaxing evening playing games and reading….yay for the weekend. I really love this one – too bad the other teas from AU were a bust this round. Nice to have at least a couple teas i can drink in the evening that are truly tasty.

Erm… I guess this is sipdown because the entirety of the tin is now on the carpet. Thank you, crappy lid. I’m pretty sad about this one because there were at least 10 cups left in there.

Some of the rooibos and fruit pieces fell into my Ghost of Jasmine Dragon Pearls and that, at least, is nice.

Hurrah for impromptu vacuuming!

I’m so glad I picked up another bag of this because it’s just so unbelievably decadent and delicious with so much more complexity to it than almost any other pumpkin blend I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Notes of, yes, pumpkin but also brown sugar, molasses, dark rum and bourbon, vanilla extract, caramel, and maple syrup. A lot of “sweet brown” flavours but despite that it’s not an overly sweet/cloying profile. It was so, so satisfying! Especially since it’s sort of finally beginning to feel like Autumn is creeping in now…
