The dry smell of this tea took me back to the barn at my house growing up. It smells exactly like horse feed pellets, it is amazing how a scent can take you back to a time in your life instantly like that. The steeped tea has a malty hay aroma. It has a sweet malty flavor with notes of hay, malt, molasses, and a hint of chocolate. I really enjoyed this tea, flavor and nostalgia in one cup.

Flavors: Chocolate, Hay, Malt, Molasses

drank Pumpkin Spice by Harney & Sons

Decent rooibos blend. The flavor is not too strong, which is more to my liking, and the aftertaste is pleasant. Not something I would drink year round, but it fits the autumn season nicely. If you are looking for an overpowering pumpkin flavor with a lot of spice, this is not the tea for you, but it is a nice subtle flavored rooibos tea.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Pumpkin

Green tea flavored with coconut, lemongrass, ginger and vanilla. You get all the flavors listed with none of them overpowering the rest. It is a nice blend of flavors; the only thing you don’t taste is the green tea.

Flavors: Coconut, Ginger, Lemongrass, Vanilla
