The final tea I’m drinking tonight to find that perfect fall pumpkin tea (from what I have in my collection, anyways!)
The aroma of this tea is quite tasty, but loses out to the amazingness of Della Terra’s version. The spicing is heavier here (it is a chai, of course), but it does still smell pretty delicious.
This version is definitely spicy, and delicious. The spicing is excellent here, not overdone, and I can catch a bit of lingering pumpkin near the end of the sip. This is definitely more of a chai than a pie tea though, which is fair as that’s what it’s called!
Sweetened, this one only improves. Still heaviest on the spicing compared to the other three, but it’s absolutely delicious and seriously tastes just like October. Yes, October. I still think it’s a bit reminiscent of Glitter & Gold for me, although I’ve gathered that there are some notable differences (other than a lack of sparkles).
Overall, this tea is definitely my pick for Favourite Pumpkin Spice Tea! I love chai, and it works so well here. As I mentioned in the Della Terra review, I want to try a 50:50 mix of the two teas to see if I can find a better balance between pumpkin and spice, because where Della Terra lacks in spice, it makes up for with pumpkin flavour, which the DT version could use a bit more of to differentiate it from other chai-like teas (like Glitter & Gold). Glad this one has made a comeback for this year’s fall collection!

I’ve never done a side-by-side comparison like you’re doing, but out of all the pumpkin flavoured teas I’ve tried this one is probably my fave. It makes a mean latté too. ;)
Yeah, luckily I have enough of three of the teas to try them as lattés! Another day! I actually had only tried the DT version prior; the rest were all new to me.

Mixed with Butiki Pumpkin Creme Brulee makes it creamier. I was curious how they would be together, but I have also been thinkin about a comparison!
