Sweet Potato Pie

TTB #5

Honestly, this blend is not really something I would have picked up on my own, as I’m not the biggest sweet potato pie fan. But I’ve seen such positive reviews from others and there was just enough left for one cup in the TTB, so I decided to give it a go. And wow…this is SO GOOD! It smells just like a pie baking and the flavor is pure decadence: creamy and spicy and sweet and rich with a unique flavor that I don’t remember ever tasting in tea before (I think it’s the allspice). The black tea base was such a good call…it gives this blend a depth that you just don’t get with herbals. Overall, this is a pretty amazing tea – maybe the best thing I’ve ever had from David’s Tea! – and I’m really sad I can’t get my hands on more right now. Fingers crossed they bring it back for the holidays next year!

This tea is wonderful. Sweet and full flavor, though not quite the flavor of sweet potato pie. Great with a little honey, too. Would re-purchase.

There were so many great reviews for this tea a month or so ago. By the time I decided I needed to order some for myself, it was already sold out. Bummer. So imagine my delight to see that Amanda sent a generous sample of her own precious stash to share with me! This blend is mostly baby marshmallows and large pecan pieces which makes it so fun. The spice is delicious and the nuts give it just a bit of toastiness. My brother had a cup with me also and he remarked that it tastes just like the Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels. I don’t taste sweet potato but its starchy quality is there. Cinnamon too. So glad I got to try this one!

After hearing so many wonderful things about this tea, I got it as a latte at David’s. Heaven in a cup. This isn’t only the best tea in their fall/seasonal/holiday lineup…it’s one of the best teas they have, period. Naturally I bought some loose to make at home as well. This is basically a warm slice of pie in a cup. If you are a sweet potato pie fan, this tea is a must have, but I also feel compelled to urge people to try it even if they aren’t a sweet potato pie fan. You might not enjoy the pie itself, but you will enjoy this tea. It’s spiced just right, not being overly spiced, and letting it’s sweetness shine through. The cinnamon, marshmallows and pecans compliment the sweet potato notes so well. I just can’t express enough how much I love this flavor. I need to stock up because I’m pretty sure I’ll be going through my 2 oz bag extremely quickly. I know Sweet Potato is a seasonal flavor but I would love for it to be available all year. Or at the very least, a guarantee that it will be back each year for the holiday season.

It’s been a while since I reviewed a tea, so here we go. The most anticipated tea of this entire year for me! I only recently got into sweet potato, and when I heard of this, I was very intrigued and excited to get my hands on some. I waited forever for it to become available on the Canadian website. Just got it today and am trying it already. I just steeped a hot cup for about 5 minutes, and added a bit of sugar. It’s really nice – different. I definitely taste the squash, cinnamon, and other spices in there. I’m also catching a bit of that marshmallow taste. Lastly I get that pecan in the aftertaste. This is good hot, but will be amazing as a latte! It’s basically a cup of Fall.

DavidsTea has really impressed me with their new teas for this holiday season. I’ve LOVED Wintergreen Wonderland and Satsuma Spice Cake, but this is my favorite so far. It tastes just like a sweet potato pie! It’s really the perfect cozy fall tea. I added a bit of oat milk and it was wonderful, but I can’t wait to try it as a latte.

Quick tasting note because I had this last week; it’s becoming my go to sweet and indulgent tea because it’s so well balanced and doesn’t rely on sweet flavours I tire of more quickly like chocolate…

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
