mirthmatter drank Pumpkin Chai by DAVIDsTEA

My boyfriend adores anything Pumpkin Spice flavoured, so I got him a tin of this as a gift. I also got a sample for myself, and although I don’t like pumpkin pie, I like this.

In the tin, the tea has a very strong, sweet smell. Once brewed, it mellows out nicely. The overall taste is very nice and cozy, and the warm spice was very welcome after a long, cold bus ride home. I’m impressed by how smooth it is while still tasting spicy.

ETA: This is now my most favourite tea. I’ve played around with how much to add and how long to steep, and it’s magnificent.

My rating system:

Excellent! One of the best teas I’ve ever had. Clearly, it was delivered to us by the hands of the gods themselves. Would stockpile, order online, or kill to get more.

60-80
Good, and will keep stocked in my shelf if convenient.

40-60
Okay, nothing special.

20-40
Not very good. Would accept out of politeness, and then add too much sugar to mask the taste.

0-20
Bleh. I would rather drink mud.
