Oops All Pumpkin 2/10!
This was my first time trying this tea from Snarky. I’m not usually huge into pumpkin spice flavoured things, but I really liked that this one uses a pu’erh base. The robust body and strong earthiness bring a lot to the combination of spices here. It was pretty clove heavy, which I also really enjoyed. The combo of clove and the camphor elements of the base were just… chefs kiss! It also seemed like maybe there was a cream flavouring in the blend as well, which did create the illusion of whipped cream on a slice of pumpkin pie. It kind of just all worked for me.
This was one of my favourites of the day!

I tried to keep most of my song pairings today on theme with Halloween in, at the very least, name – but I couldn’t resist the low hanging fruit of this pairing. It just works too well and was really fun.
