Last one from the pumpkin spice collection. Unfortunately, this tea has monkfruit in it, sigh… And because of that, it’s just too sweet for me, and it’s a bit of a mouth-coating cloying sweetness.
Otherwise, it’s just okay. Very mildly spiced, mostly I taste the cinnamon. I do actually get a slight pumpkin vibe though, not sure if that’s from the apple or something in the flavoring. Something is a tad bit squashy. Not really tasting caramel specifically, more of a generic sweetness that seems closer to maple. And as for the oolong, not getting much of that either.
Needless to say, not a favorite. Overall these pumpkin spice teas were pretty disappointing to me, and the marzipan white was the only one I really liked. Not sure I would pay the premium price for it though, especially since you get less than half as much by weight compared to the other blends…

Aww, bummer! I saw the tantalizing name and got excited for a second there! Sucks that the blend didn’t live up to its name.
Maybe you would like it more than I did!
YAY! I’m not the first one to put these notes up! I thought the same thing about this one too. I hoped I’d actually taste the currants and caramel, but the cinnamon overpowered it. It was like an overspiced apple cider to me, and very muddled. Cinnamon overpowered the herbals too, and I thought the Marzipan and the Pu-Erh cake ones really stood out more to me. I agree about the pricing. The Wanderlust and Astrology blends are the few that may justify some premium.
I agree, the two rooibos blends mostly tasted like cinnamon and spice flavoring to me. Marzipan was my favorite, but also the most expensive by weight ha ha…
I did pick up a couple of their other teas (Sagittarius, Sapphire, Bohemian Breakfast, and Queen of the Rainforest) and I still need to try those. Hopefully I like them better than the pumpkin spice collection!
I’ve been curious about Sapphire. I look forward to see what you think about that one. Sag and Bohemian Breakfast are my personal go tos.
