I’m finally getting around to going through this box, so I can see about starting the next round. This was the last of the bag, and it was almost all rooibos, so that may have affected the flavor. It pretty much tasted like maple with a hint of spice to me – not bad, but plain maple isn’t really my favorite flavor, and tends to taste a little too sweet to me. It was definitely an autumnal sort of tea, but I wish I had been able to taste the pumpkin. I’m not sure how long I steeped this for, since I forgot to set a timer and just came back to it after a few minutes. Too much going on today with the boys, and settling back into life with a new baby.

Yeah, this one didn’t have much pumpkin going on, even at its freshest. Pretty much as you describe it, maple and spice. I quite liked it. Thank you for reminding me to haul it out of hiding.
You’re welcome. I might have rated it higher if the name reflected the flavor a little better, but I’m always really disappointed when pumpkin teas don’t taste like pumpkin, and like I said, maple tends to taste too sweet to me if it’s alone.
Aw, sucks that you didn’t like it :( I loved this one brewed as a latte and went through 250g+ of it last autumn.
I can see why, it seems like a good quality tea, just not to my tastes.
