Favorite fall teas!

Bird and Blend’s Spiced Pumpkin Pie is one of my favorites though it’s only available for a short time as they get more and more popular. Really, it’s the chai season for me too. I go from drinking no chai to a ton of chai in fall.

It is somewhat traditional to drink ripe puerh in the colder weather. Also black teas too.

I need new tea inspiration, so I hope this post gets a lot of answers. :-)

I like Celestial Seasonings Caramel Apple Dream. And, of course, some chai with Skinny Syrups Pumpkin Spice or Pumpkin Cheesecake syrup (from Marshalls) and heavy whipping cream. The Tea Spot’s Choco-Mint Truffle for my cocoa fix in the winter. Good ideas are always welcome!

David’s Tea Pumpkin cheesecake and my favourite herbal streamed mulberry leaf are my top 2. Also a lot of chai and spiced blends or roasty oolongs. I find ginger and peppercorn in chais as well as roasted oolongs very warming.

I definitely drink more black tea during the winter as well as roasted oolongs. Also, chamomile and genmaicha. Once the seasons change, I swap out my iced matcha and london fog lattes for the hot versions.

I think that smoky teas are especially good this time of year. Autumn, I think, is the ideal time for Lapsang Souchong and Lapsang blends. My absolute favorite autumn tea is Bonfire from Adagio – Yum! Russian Country from Harney and Sons and Hu-Kwa from Mark T. Wendell are other fall favorites. Honey is my addition of choice. Smoky Earl Grey teas are great too!

Roasty oolongs, black teas and pu-erhs are what I go to during the fall/colder months.
Da Hong Pao immediately comes to mind as a favorite fall time tea. Also Keemun Imperial black tea. It’s light and floral, but also has notes of roasted sweet potato which I love.
Oh and Huo Shang Huan Ya yellow tea has to be one of my top fall teas. Yellow tea in general is on the lighter side/not as robust, but it has a very strong roasted chestnut aroma. Roasted chestnuts are one of my favorite fall time treats!

Dorian Grey from Figments Tea Shoppe, and some black currant teas.

Pumpkin Chai from David’s Teas is a longtime favourite.

I tend to reach for Earl Greys and various masala chais, as well as more Fall-ish fruits like fig, pear, or apple.
