Design a Tea’s Pumpkin Chestnut was so awful I ended up throwing it out. I figured that I might as well try the other sample I ordered from them and get it over with.
When I opened the package, the bright smell of pear hit me… hmm, this one might be better than the last. It’s rooibos, so I’m not sure what I was thinking mixing rooibos with apple and pear. Oh well, let’s see how it tastes.
The aroma is very sweet and fruity. The taste is also fruity, but not obviously pear or apple. Just sorta sweet.
It’s a middle of the road tea. Not bad, but not really good either.
Edited: It’s developing a strange aroma as it’s cooling. I think I’m headed for the kitchen sink with this one, too. Bleh.
No pumpkin flavor. Just black tea and (I suppose) chestnuts. sigh
booo…
I would like to have a tea that REALLY tastes like pumpkin pie. Perhaps it’s harder than we think to capture the essence of pumpkin.
Seems to me that no matter which pumpkin themed tea people review they’re always wishing for more pumpkin.
I suspect that it is… my sister brought up pumpkin flavored syrup for Thanksgiving (we use this particular brand of syrup in our coffees) and it didn’t really taste particularly pumpkin-y either.
I can’t finish this, I’m going to toss it. It’s pretty bad.
Boooooooo indeed. I’m anxiously awaiting the 52teas pumpkin blend. It may be a tastes like pumpkin first.
