I drank through my small stash of this last year, so I was anxiously awaiting its return. It’s as good as I remember, and perhaps my favorite pumpkin tea. The sweet, caramelized vanilla note works so well with the realistic pumpkin, and blend of spices (hello nutmeg and clove). It’s one of the few pumpkin teas that actually tastes like pumpkin (and not generic spices or carrots).

TTB. Roswell very kindly included this in the box upon my request- thank you! I didn’t read Arby’s tasting note, and ended up brewing a hot mug. It was indeed a mistake. It’s just so hibiscus forward that I can’t taste anything else. A bit of the nuttiness begins to peak through as it cools, but it’s mostly just hibiscus.

This is BUTTERSCOTCH. The scent and flavor are both so strong, and I’ve really been enjoying it. Not any nuance, and no surprises while drinking this one-just a cupful of warm butterscotch.

Sipdown. Really enjoying this! The strawberry and pancake flavors are both distinct, and work together extremely well. This is one of my favorite of the pancake blends, as it really tastes like a stack of pancakes covered in fresh strawberries. Added a splash of oat milk, and it’s quite a creamy treat.

This tastes nothing like pecan pie, but I’m really enjoying it (I actually had it both the morning and night yesterday, which I rarely do). It’s more of a creme brûlée flavor than anything, which I’m absolutely not mad about. Raisins are listed on the ingredients, but I didn’t see any either time I had a cup…not sure how much a raisin would contribute to the overall flavor though.

This smells incredibly sweet and caramely. Unfortunately, even with the addition of honey, it reminds me of a bowl of oatmeal. Specifically, a bowl of oatmeal covered in whiskey and honey that I had in Northern Ireland. While I’m enjoying the flavor and the nostalgia it’s stirred up, it’s not quite the caramel flavor I was looking for.

This is pretty straightforward- a bold black tea, and lots of cardamom. I love cardamom, so I’m really enjoying it. Added a bit of honey and it’s a really enjoyable cup. Would probably add a splash of oat milk next time.

This is SMOKY. The combination of the lapsang and blend of spices makes it very much a BBQ experience. I actually like it, I just chose the wrong time to drink it (it’s 100degrees outside). This will be excellent when it’s chilly out.

Made this western style with some of my new infused maple syrup. The brand WytchWood has been on my radar for awhile, and they just came out with a pumpkin spice infused syrup, so I caved and placed an order. I also got their Gingerbread Marshmallow infused maple syrup as well, which is what I used here. SO GOOD. The caramelization of the hojicha is really amplified by the syrup and creates such a cozy, comforting tea experience. This hojicha continues to be my favorite.
