I was a little worried when I got this blend, I’m not going to lie. I am not typically a fan of Harney and Sons’ Pumpkin Spice but this blend is not that at all! It’s a pumpkin (without the spice) black tea with some spices along with vanilla and maple flavors. This blend tastes like a hot cuppa paired with some freshly baked pumpkin bread. It’s super yummy, buttery, and somehow light at the same time. I think I may need to grab some more before it sells out, plus the tin is gorgeous!

Flavors: Cinnamon, Cream, Icing, Maple, Pumpkin, Whipped Cream

This sounds much better than all the ubiquitous pumpkin spice varieties that pop up this time of year.

I have been hoping to see a review of this one because I don’t want it if it is just ginger and clove! This sounds tasty, so it is a someday tea when I finish off a few more in my cupboard.

I took this morning to sit and have a cuppa after a few rough days and this was a little disappointing. It’s just scented honestly with a barely there flavor and not great black tea base. Meh

Flavors: Dust, Orange Zest

I don’t really know how I feel about this one. It’s earthy and tart from the hibiscus and super herby too. Idk, for “wine” teas I prefer Merlot Dommaine Chantel by The English tea store. It actually tastes like wine cold brewed.

Gonna sip this down probably

I got this as a sample from my bday gift box a friend got me from Adagio. However, it was labeled rooibos caramel which I was super excited to try but on the back was listed the EG ingredients. Super yummy though I am disappointed.

Flavors: Bergamot, Rooibos, Vegetal, Wet Wood

Hmm… I don’t really know how much I really like this one considering I am a bit congested. However, I agree… the only note I am getting is clove. I don’t hate it but it was a little disappointing as I love baklava.

Flavors: Alcohol, Artificial, Clove, Musty, Wet Wood

Bio

My name is Gabriella but everyone calls me Gabby! I am a 20-year-old college student living in NY, majoring in History and Elementary Education. In my spare time, I post reviews and little pieces of writing on my blog, read books, play video games, write poetry, and love to cuddle up with my two-year-old hound dog Buddy.
I have interesting tea preferences, to say the least:
Definitely a mood drinker, and I tend to change my preferences often, if I have a bad experience with a specific flavor or tea type I end up avoiding it for a while, then dive back in later. I also prefer my teas plain but will sometimes make lattes.

Flavor Preferences:

Fruit: mainly melon, berry, and apple flavors are my favorites. I’m allergic to pineapple, passionfruit, and kiwi.
Dessert: Almost all flavors dessert-wise are welcome I especially love warm and comforting flavors like caramels, chocolates, cookies/biscuits, crumbles, and muffin.
Floral: I prefer violets, lavender, roses, and mallow flowers. Open to all florals, allergic to dandelions.
Spices: I love lightly spiced blends but some like the infamous Hot Cinnamon Spice is too much for me.
Herbs: My favorites are mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, and sometimes basil.
Favorite Companies:
Harney and Sons
Simpson and Vail
White 2 Tea
Plum Deluxe
Trader Nicks
Friday Afternoon

I love doing swaps and if you’re interested in anything in my cupboard let me know!
