From my Sips By box for November. Also a sipdown.
This tea smells so amazing in the pouch, creamy and pumpkin-y and luscious. I was so excited for it! Even steeped up, it smelled delicious. I didn’t approve of the mini white chocolate chips, but I was willing to forgive.
Sadly, it’s quite bland. For this second mug, I overleafed by quite a bit in an attempt to get more flavor. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to help much. There’s some very mild spicing, mostly clove and a bit of nutmeg. There’s also a tiny bit of cream in the background. But mostly it tastes like a musty base tea. And my first cup, with a normal (for me) amount of leaf, tasted like mildly spiced water.
So disappointing after the lovely smell… Ah well, it joins the ranks of many other underwhelming pumpkin spice teas.

It’s such a shame when the scent is so deceptive!
I was promised creamy pumpkin-y goodness! T.T
Aw man, I’ve been meaning to try this one for a long time! That’s a shame.
This is one that’s been on my to-try list as well, so it’s a shame to hear it’s disappointing. So many pumpkin teas are.
To be fair, the other note for this is much more favorable than mine. So it’s entirely possible I’m pickier than other people when it comes to pumpkin spice. :P
