Alphakitty drank Chance Combinations by Custom

I have two pumpkin teas from Culinary Teas—the Sleepy Hollow Chai isn’t really pumpkin-y enough for me but is very spiced and the Pumpkin Cream isn’t spiced enough but has tons of pumpkin flavor. The solution is, of course, to put them together. OH. MY. GOD. It’s pumpkin pie in a cup. Silky, smooth, sweet, creamy, full of ginger, clove and cinnamon, and oh-so pumpkin-y. I think I might just throw my two bags together into a tin cause really now, when am I ever going to drink them separately?

The weather here also went from mid-90’s to 70 and breezy in a day, so I was in the mood for some warming tea. Now it’s even colder and pouring!

I have 3(?) pumpkin blacks that are just waiting for me to try them all one day (only have small samples of two of them!) Today would have been perfect here, it was on and off pouring all day and quite chilly! We needed the rain desperately though.

Tea has always been a passion of mine, though I got away from it during college. A lack of cupboard space and a constant influx of people into my suite made me pretty much abandon my teas at home. But now that I’m done with school, it’s definitely come back with a vengeance—to the point where I’ve purchased about 65 different kinds in the past 3 months!

I like most kinds of teas—yes, even peach, which I used to think I disliked!. Oolongs are definitely my favorite, and I’m an avid fan of earl grey, floral teas, and chai blends along with anything melon. The only kind of teas on my “no” list are rooibos blends (which gives me headaches) and banana flavored ones since bananas are public enemy #1 in my mind.

The best thing about tea for me is how you can be passionate about it and still have it integrate into all of your other hobbies. I like a lot of things: writing, video games, books, sewing, figure collecting, astronomy… it’s a long list. But whatever I’m doing, I can have a cup of tea in hand!
