Next in the chronology! Today I got the crazy idea to steep this one as I might steep an unflavored dragonwell, which is to say more leaf and less time.
And wouldn’t you know it, it was really quite good! I love that this really tastes like pumpkin. So many pumpkin teas (including others I’ve had from 52teas) just taste like generic “pumpkin spice” and only the spice part, but this is actually pumpkiny. The dragonwell provides a nice buttery base. The only thing about this one that I don’t really get is the toffee; to me, it’s a nice pumpkin dragonwell, but a caramelized toffee doesn’t quite come through in the flavor. All the same, it’s one of the better pumpkin teas I’ve tried, and I will have to try to remember to drink it more frequently (maybe this fall; it’s not really pumpkin season anymore!)
Good idea on the more leaf-less time. I will try that.
This one sounds really good. I just have such poor luck with 52Teas.
