drank Pumpkin Maté by DAVIDsTEA
73 tasting notes

My favorite time of year is approaching, and along with it the arrival (or return) of pumpkin everything. I finally paid a visit to David’s two days ago to snap up their pumpkin teas gift set, which includes the pumpkin maté, the pumpkin chai, and the spiced pumpkin. One of the employees did warn me that many people are surprised by how savory this tea is….there is a hint of pumpkin flavor, but it’s well-blended with earthy maté flavor and spices. I’m glad I knew that before trying my first cup of this. It was warm, toasty, and delightful!

If you’re looking for a pumpkin tea that’s on the sweeter, more dessert-y side, this isn’t it – but this one is still worth trying.

Preparation

Bio

If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.

Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.

Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate

I’ll update soon with my rating system!
