drank Pumpkin Cheesecake by DAVIDsTEA
1500 tasting notes

I truly love this tea, and it’s surprised me. Out of the handful of new DAVIDs Teas that I’ve tried today, this is by far my favorite. I want to say it tastes like a pumpkin pie baked over an open flame, like a campfire, but not in a traditionally tea-smoky way. It’s the nutmeg, I’m sure…. plus I had it with a healthy dollop of cream (as the staffer suggested) and now it’s just plain decadent.

Flavors: Cream, Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Smoke

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

hmm. I wish I had gotten this instead of the pumpkin patch now!

I passed on this one too, and got Pumpkin Patch, but maybe I need to go back and get it.

OMGsrsly

Huh. I should check this one out!

Definitely check it out. The longer steep really seemed to help, and it needs some sort of sweetener to make it pop. I just can’t brew the black version long enough to make it palatable.

Longer steep! I must try this! (and I already thought it was great at just 5 minutes…). I completely agree with you about it needed some sort of sweetner (that makes it SOO good…), and the cream! I wasn’t too big on it until I added milk (I think I’ll do cream next time…).

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
