Pumpkin Spice

I cannot comment on how this one tastes as a tea. I’ve actually been warned off this one before. It is a decent latte-to-go, although you should be warned that they put pumpkin-flavoured syrup in it to improve the taste when you get it in-store. (No, seriously. Straight from the mouth of an employee I’m friends with.) Also, the manager I was chatting with today added a few shakes of chai spicing on top (which I agreed with, just for the hell of it). It’s a really tasty, sweet pumpkin-chai thing now, but it bears relatively little resemblance to tea.

Also making a tasting note just to note that my home computer will not boot at the moment. At all. It lights up briefly, makes a whirring noise, and dies. Ugh. So it may be a while before I am around much again, since I can only update at school. And I like to have the tea in my mouth when I rate it. Which is hard when you’re at school. Ah, well.

Eeeeeeyuck!
This was just odd. Pumpkiny and fruity and odd. It reminded me of how a pumpkin jolly rancher candy would taste, if you can imagine that. I could not finish the cup it was so terrible! bleeech.
In fact, it doesn’t deserve any more words than that.

Kind of disappointed by this one, but I got it from my dad and I’m not sure how long he’s had it in the cupboard. Seemed a little weak.

Pleh. There is nothing “pumpkin” about this tea – it’s Papaya Spice. Sure, the spices are those associated with pumpkin pies, but coming in expecting something with that great, earthy pumpkin feeling… I was disappointed deeply. To me, the papaya is too summery, as well, so even as a seasonal tea I wouldn’t care for it.

Also, I’m not a fan of papaya, so there’s nothing actually redeeming it for me. ^_;

If you’re looking for something to compare to Starbucks, this isn’t it. This tea tastes like a traditional pumpkin and is not sweet at all.

Pumpkin was the wrong name for this tea. It really should have been called Autumn Spice or Autumn Medley. It isn’t reminiscent of pumpkin at all, the papaya is too strong. If you were expecting pumpkin you will be disappointed, but if you were looking for a nice fall flavoured tea, this is really nice.

I don’t know what all these other reviews are going on about, because this tea is delicious. Warm, comforting, and it actually tastes how it should. (Unlike David’s version of this tea, where the smell is leaps and bounds better than the brewed tea itself.)

If you have a chance, I’d recommend giving this one a try.

Not… so good. Doesn’t taste like pumpkin at all, just a poorly executed spiced black tea.
I strongly recommend David’s Tea’s “Pumpkin Chai” over this.
