My order from Lupicia Teas arrived, and straight into the cup this went! Chestnut and sweet potato and pumpkin, oh my! Soft, brown autumn flavors without the bright crispness of cranberries that you usually find in “Fall”-type teas. This tea is about sitting in front of a fireplace at twilight, after a long afternoon of raking leaves or roasting squash, reading a book or listening to relaxing acoustic music down softly. It occurs to me that this is the kind of late evening tea I would expect to find in the cupboards of any given Hobbit-hole in the mid-autumn.
