Tea of the early afternoon here. I am still sick, and have spent most of the day so far sneezing and blowing my nose, to the chagrin of my boyfriend who left early this afternoon.

As far as pumpkin rooibos blends go, I actually prefer this over the David’s Tea version which seems a bit spicy for me. I wouldn’t say this exactly tastes like pumpkin either, but it’s closer than some others I’ve had. It’s definitely got some nice cinnnamon-y notes as well as clove and nutmeg. At least the price is right, I think the tin costs $4.

Just saw the WALL of pumpkin products at Trader Joe’s this week. Maybe I’ll give this one a try!

It isn’t bad! And yeah it seems like Trader Joe’s went a bit crazy on the pumpkin products this year, no?

OMG TJ’s pumpkin! I wasn’t a huge fan of this one personally. Their pumpkin chai mix tastes god awful and soapy. They have mini ginger pumpkin ice cream sandwiches that are really good. The cream cheese tastes like frosting while the yogurt has a hint of nail polish remover. The muffins with frosting on top are amazing and really good frozen. Corn bread mix is really tasty, as are the macaroons. They FINALLY came out with pumpkin flavored joejoe’s which I’m liking. I have tried nearly every pumpkin item TJ’s has. I’m one of those girls that people make fun of for pumpkin obsession this time of year.

Ha, I don’t think I have tried anything pumpkin this year aside from tea :)

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
