CREME BRULEE OMFG! Creme brulee is my fav dessert! My husband made it for me the night he proposed (and a prime rib, barely remember that though)
DRY: Lots of weird orange flakey bits.
STEEPED: brown orange tea, smells of black tea and pumpkin.
TASTE: WHOA! I notice an amazing creamyness right away. Theres a smooth pumpkin taste as well. The black tea is nice too – all perfectly mixed with the other flavors. Very natural tasting pumpkin.
Sweetened with some rock sugar, the creamyness and pumpkin come out more. Also some spice lightly pops out.
WHO’D LIKE THIS: Autumn tea lovers! With all the pumpkin teas out right now for fall, this one is good for someone who loves creamyness! This one also is gently spiced.
COMPARISON: DavidsTea’s Pumpkin Chai – has more spice. Pumpkin tastes a little different and brighter. Black tea base is stronger.
Pumpkin Creme Brulee is less spice, but on the creamy side. IMO, the black tea has a better taste. Pumpkin tastes more natural.
COMMENTS: I dig the creamyness of this tea! Very excellent and the flavors are balanced perfectly!
ARGG, I got so much Pumpkin Chai that I’ve been hesitant to order other pumpkin teas. Pumpkin Creme Brulee is on a slightly different wavelength. I thought it would be more eggy like creme brulee, but still tasty! Either way, very good and I highly recommend this tea… and pretty much all Butiki teas I’ve tried! all sooo good!

Those weird flaky bits are actual bits of pumpkin freeze dried (that’s the actual color). They were so weird and interesting that I wanted to add them to the mix. They dissolve on your tongue if you eat them.
Pumpkin and nutmeggy! I do like the freeze dried bits more verses the candied or regular dried bits.

I’m now going to proceed to lick the sample bag now that you told me!
LOL
Hahahaha. If some flavoring touched the flakes it may taste a bit strong. Just warning you. :D

Nice! :)
this makes me want to give this tea a shot…even though I’m not a fan of pumpkin…
