Why did I wait so long to taste this tea?! Maybe I was waiting for fall? Anyway, I got in a trade with QueenOfTarts almost a year ago.
This is great stuff! Much, much better than the Pumpkin Spice Adagio sells. The most prevalent spice in it seems to be cinnamon, as the ginger is more subtle. The pumpkin flavor is surprisingly realistic! Like pumpkin pie filling, especially with the touch of nutmeg. It really makes me think of Thanksgiving. Also, there’s a taste of caramel, to me at least, though it could be my imagination. I can’t really taste the actual tea in it, as it’s buried beneath layers of delicious spices. I’m going to have this as my breakfast tea until I run out.
Best pumpkin tea I’ve tried so far!
Hmmm… I’ve been wondering about this! I’m obsessed with anything pumpkin this time of year! :-)
I think it’s fantastic. Do you have a World Market anywhere close to you?
I wonder if they will carry these until Thanksgiving…or at least another week. I haven’t made the trek to mine yet. Bought from Harney, Teasource and Teavana instead…oops:P
I’ll probably be going back this weekend or next. Yeah, I’ve went way over budget on tea this past month. David’s, Octavia, Sanctuary T…and am now anxiously awaiting Frank’s new one to see how awesome it is.
@ Jaime – we have one across town, I may have to see if they still have it next weekend when I have time to head over there. Pumpkin + Ginger = win in my book! I was a little disappointed with a few of the WM holiday exclusives last year… So I’m glad to hear that this one is good.
Do they have any Christmasy exclusives? My first trip to WM was late January this year, so I missed all the holiday stuff. I want to make sure I don’t miss anything good!
Yes, I think that they usually do. We never had one in my town growing up, so it is always fun for me to go there! Lol. Last year they had Spiced Chocolate Mint and Dream By the Fire (a cinnamon vanilla rooibos blend). I was a little disappointed with those, unfortunately. :-/. But I am curious to see what they will have this year!
I’ve had Dream By the Fire…it was okay By the end of the tin I liked it, but don’t think I’d get it again. Spiced Chocolate Mint sounds fantastic!! Do they have different ones each year? That both excites and saddens me…because this pumpkin is too good to only be made one year.
I would be happy to send you some of the Spiced Chocolate Mint to try if you would like! That way you can decide if you want to buy the whole tin or not if they bring it back again this year. Just PM me and let me know! :-)
Oh, that’d be amazing!!!! Off to pm you now.
