Pumpkin Pie is a flavour that pretty much every tea company has done. Usually in the fall, around Thanksgiving. Before trying Red Leaf Tea’s take, my favourite was from Davids Tea. Now I think I may need to reconsider, because:
1. You can get it YEAR ROUND
2. I’m still not tired of it
2) Is very important, because there’s something about other pumpkin pie teas that makes me stop really enjoying them after I’ve had several cups or the season changes. I think it has something to do with the spices— instead of trying to replicate the flavour of pumpkin pie (which can be enjoyed year round, please don’t judge me!), they put in other spices to make it more ‘seasonal’. And that means, when the sun is beating down, and I drink their tea, it’s like I’m transported in front of a fireplace, and that is NOT GOOD.
This tea is simply pumpkin pie. It’s not overly spiced and it’s perfect. I think it would even be good chilled, like pumpkin pie often is. A little milk and it’s like there’s a slice right there in front of you! Enjoy!
