Pumpkin Chai

I absolutely love this chai and now that fall is just around the corner I can’t wait to soak this up in bed. Love from NJ!

I ordered only 50 grams of this tea, I wish I had bought way more. I absolutely love this one. It’s a real pumpkin flavor not a fake one. It’s warm and inviting, great for how cold the weather has been!

Tried this multiple times and it has such an off-putting taste, kind of burnt and cloying. Can’t really detect much of a chai or pumpkin flavour. Adjusted steep time, milk etc, disgusting every time – had to throw it away.

Autumn Harvest! This was a sampler that Ost included when I bought from her cupboard sale, so thank you, Ost!

The dry leaf smells more like a Chinese almond cookie to me than anything reminding me of pumpkin or spices. Brewed, it smells a bit more spicy, but I still get a cookie-like sweetness off the cup.

Oddly enough, I’m getting a strong toasted coconut flavor coming to the forefront (which may be what is making me think of cookies), and I’m not sure why. I am tasting some spices which linger on the tongue, and they have a very warm and sweet feel rather than being heated. I mostly taste a sweet cinnamon/nutmeg flavor, with a sort of burnt sugar/molasses note in the background, mixed with that cookie-like vanilla/toasted coconut flavor. I’m certainly not getting anything that tastes squashy, pumpkiny, or even like artificial pumpkin spice. I have no idea the age of this sample, but given the amount of pumpkin teas I’ve tried (they are a particular weakness of mine), this has probably been one of my least favorites. I’m tasting spice cookies, which is a perfectly fine cuppa, but not what I was expecting of a pumpkin chai tea.

This is my favorite fall tea (and I’m really enjoying the last bit throughout the rest of winter). It is a really nice black chai mix with a touch of pumpkin spice. I am a big fan of the sweeter black teas and I love chai, so this was a total win for me. I just wish they had this one all year round!

I’ve only tried this hot as a tea and as a tea latte. This is Delicious with a capital D. This tea is the embodiment of fall! Its got pumpkin, a hint of spice, and the cinnamon really makes it taste richer. Take a sip of this and you’ll instantly imagine red leaves falling from the trees as you walk through a long pathway of red, orange, yellow and brown.

Love this one in the fall! Perfect with some milk to get all that creamy chai goodness!

Meh. Up front, I’m not a pumpkin lover. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t get the craze for it. But this didn’t even really taste like pumpkin to me, it just tasted like kind of spicy, vegetal water. I may not have used enough tea, but even so, the flavor wasn’t enjoyable. Spices were kind of vague (like something you’d buy at the store labeled pumpkin or apple pie spice). I didn’t get a caramel note in flavor, although I do have to say the brew smelled deliciously like it. I drank it, because I was stuck in a meeting, but I gave away the rest of mine.

Odd flavor for a tea. Not sure I quite enjoyed it.

This was given to me as a gift in a 100 gram tin, so I was praying I would enjoy it. Unfortunately I realized I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin flavours, or chai for that matter. It’s not bad at all, although mostly it’s just a preference for me. If you enjoy chai, and pumpkin flavoured drinks, this is probably perfect!
