Pumpkin Spice - Cake Batter Breakfast

I was planning on just reviewing the sampler pack and rating them, but people actually tried these teas! I’m not the only one either wowed by the taste and irritable about some of the prices! YAY!

I’ve already commented my thoughts on this one for a few of you, but here’s the gist. I sipped this down the quickest out of all of them for easy transport and basic white girl vibes. For whatever reason, Pu-Erh Black tea blends are easy for me to like, so I got Clove, vanilla, nutmeg, and a wi bit of pumpkin are prominent in the flavor under the malt of the black tea and pu-erh. I personally would taste the pu-erh more with more leaves, but the black tea was more prominent, though less so than the power of the flavors.

I personally really liked the eggnog custard vibes and thought this tea was the pumpkin spice version of Thai Temple. I’m not always a huge fan of cake teas, so I’m happy with a more custardy version of one. It’s good with a little bit of cream and sugar, but I liked this one more straight. Felt good on my throat and felt good with the fall vibes. I’m not sure if I would pay for the full price for a large serving of it. I wouldn’t mind having it around since I thought it was better than a lot of other pumpkin spice teas I’ve had before, but I would probably only want another sampler portion.

Prompt on this day was pie/baking and since my mug was kiln themed (because you “bake” pottery) I thought there was something kind of cheeky and picking a tea that wasn’t just cake but cake batter. It was a nice enough cuppa too! Sweet and vanilla forward but with some warming spices too. It’s such a nice vanilla flavour that I almost wish there were not spices at all though so it could have more focus.

Kept hoping my opinion of this one would improve, but sadly it did not.

Still tastes like a slightly bland eggnog tea to me, since the nutmeg and clove are the spices that I notice most. I wish I tasted more of the tea, the puerh especially since that’s what makes it a bit different from other eggnog black teas. But mostly I just taste flavoring, and it comes off as a bit artificial to my palate.

Anyway, still wishing for pumpkin roll cake batter! :P
