Pumpkin Chai [duplicate]

Another tea brought by a well meaning family member.
I dont care for chai, but I do love all the spices that go into chai, so I keep trying them.
My mom made an absolutely delicious pumpkin ring, I though that this would go well with it. Wrong.
It was just weird. I had to spill out my cup.
It didnt taste like pumpkin, it kind of smelled like carrots. It had a sweet sort of fertilizer smell and the fruity flavor had an over ripe quality – not a good thing.

I’ve said it before and I will probably say it again – I will leave the chai spices to baking and curries.

Received as a sample in my most recent David’s Tea order. This one is ok. It’s a little bland, but has a nice chai spice to it. I like the slight sweetness it has, I’m assuming from the candied bits in it. Very light pumpkin flavor as well. If you like pumpkin spice I would definitely try but you could skip if not!

This one is not for me. It smells like a really strong artificial pumpkin candle but it tastes like a bland black tea. It’s not spicy enough for a chai for me. I got a sample with my order and i am really glad I didn’t spend money on this.

LOVE IT!

I’m not a big fan of the added candy bits, just because I don’t really have a preference for adding an sweetener to my tea. So, on it’s own, this tea is a bit meh for me. I actually like that the pumpkin flavor isn’t very strong, but I do wish the spice was a bit more. However, I tried adding a small pinch of lapsang souchong (which is a very smokey tea) and now it’s a go-to combo for a fall pick me up.

Okay maybe I am just the outlier for this tea but I really actually enjoy this. Yeah, it lacks the pumpkin flavor smacking you in the face, but for what it is worth and for it being a chai tea, I loved it.

Not terrible, not great. Neither especially pumpkin-spiced, nor an especially good chai (unless we’re going with the literal “chai is black tea with spice added” definition).

I do get a hint of cloves and cinnamon in the scent, and a bit in the taste. It’s not sweet, despite the inclusion of pumpkin candies, but they don’t add much, either. It’s not a terrible black tea, but it’s not particularly good either.

I’m glad I only purchased 2 oz. It’s a bit disappointing, as I was hoping for a spicy fall treat, but I will drink it.

Home – 6:00 PM

There’s a pot roast currently cooking in my Instant Pot and it smells amazing! ❤

This tea is disappointing to me… It’s weak even though I used extra leaf and steeped it for 4 minutes. And it mostly just tastes of clove, with a bit of a creamy note in there. Definitely no pumpkin.

Womp womp. Someday I will try a pumpkin spice tea that knocks my socks off. But that day is not today!

A bit of chai, not enough pumpkin. I thought this tea would be a pumpkin spice sorta thing, im disappointed. Maybe I’m making it wrong because no matter how much i over-steep it it doesn’t taste like much.

this tea i wouldnt drink if i was forced to. it leaves a horrible aftertaste in your mouth & it tastes almost burnt. Super artificial tasting as well. completely dissapointed.
