tea from last night and i am still in love. the fresh pumpkin chunks are delicious!
Final Count: 110 (which means i’m officially allowed to make purchases again AFTER i come up with a plan to get down to 50 by year end. heh)
this is back in my cupboard courtesy of terri and that makes me SUPER happy. This is especially potent since my previous experience with this tea was from a bag terri had already opened and shared with me. with this bag, it was sealed and super fresh. Opening it was an explosion of delicious ginger and pumpkin. i love this tea…it’s ginger and REAL pumpkin chunks…and spice. make no mistake, this is a pumpkin SPICE tea…but damn it’s good. thank you so much for this terri!
Final Count: 173
Final cup! Terri…grow some pumpkins and make her make like a pound of this. I’ll drive down and pick up half of it! lol Seriously though.. i love the pumpkin and ginger mingling and this one just makes me super happy in fall. like super duper happy. :) thanks for introducing this one to me terri!
Final Count: 154 ( 24 more to go by May 10…and then another 15 after that for the other half of may. except that i now have 7 teas incoming from Mandala, 2 from Verdant, 2 whispering pines…looking at a butiki order with uh 11 teas….plus there are a few more teas living with Terri and Cavo at the moment… crap crap crap lol)
Mini Goal for this weekend… get to 140
best. pumpkin. tea. ever. + ginger! i am going to be so sad when this is gone…which now that i’ve opened the pouch is going to be soon….TOOO SOON…
Final Count: still 141 sigh 11 more teas to go… but 1 swap and likely some purchases coming up…
since i was all “let’s dig into THE BOX” to celebrate 4k tasting notes, i may have pulled out 2 of my three teas. This being the second one, since if you’re going to go crazy and dig in to THE BOX, you might as well pull out more than 1 tea. haha This tea, in case anyone is wondering, is hands down the best pumpkin tea out there. PLUS it has the added bonus of having ginger in it – which makes all teas better imo (unless they’re dessert teas) AND it’s a rooibos tea.
What’s the third tea?!
I’ll have to agree, it is the number 1 pumpkin tea, without a doubt. I hope she makes it again when fall comes, & I may plant pumpkins this year, & give her some to make us a bunch of it! :)
I only wish I still had some…sigh…
that would be awesome Terri.
VariaTEA – mousse au chocolate – hard to get, expensive and probably my favourite chocolate tea. that being said, i also wouldn’t want it in copious quantities either as it would fade..
mouse au chocolat is where it’s at, for sure.
What’s “The BOX” ?? :)
Oh never mind, I see below!
:)
sil, can mouse au chocolat be purchased from most mf locations? or is it one of those teas that’s like “only available in one store in the world on October 4th at 5 mountain time” offerings?
It’s available all the time but it’s damn expensive…you can only buy it in ether tin and it’s like 25 euro for 100g? Ie. stupidly priced and not worth it, except as an indulgence heh
Wow, that’s pretty expensive. Damn. Still worth it on occasion though!
Sil, it takes two days and several pumpkins to make less than a pound of tea. I promise you, IT’S WORTH IT!
Mallory – the expensive comment was about mousse au chocolat.
I adore pumpkin ginger from travelling tea. It’s not 25 euro and IS way worth it :)
Oh, good! I was apparently not reading carefully. My apologies!
love. this. tea. seriously. Talk about tasting like actual pumpkin – which of course has something to do with the GIANT chunks of pumpkin in this. So happy terri shared this with me. I thought tonight’s cup would finish off what she sent me but i’ve got enough for another sil sized cup another night. Perfect, since i can resteep this tonight for a couple of cups of goodness.
Back to work tomorrow AND a friend of ours is coming to crash at our place since he still doesn’t have power. While i am totally cool with that, it also means i may need to go in to work tomorrow instead of working from home. but we’ll see.
and tomorrow i get to liberate my mail from jail! WOOHOO!
TERRI! I WANT MOAR! seriously..this is damn tasty! It’s my christmas mor-er-afternoon tea and this is so delicious. Please remind me next year we want lots of this. This might be my favourite pumpkin tea this year.
Edit: this resteeps really nicely since you can brew it and forget it lol This is pretty much all i’ve had since we got up this afternoon.
Sil, can you believe I still have some of this?
Should we do another crazy order this year?
I love this tea. It’s one of the only rooibos teas I enjoy, and I really do enjoy it. I’m pretty close to the bottom of the bag, and I think I should just go crazy drinking it every night for the next week or so, because hopefully there will be a new batch in my near future!
I had a wonderful day with my family, (4 adult kids, 3 grandkids, various significant O’s), with lots of delicious food. My last cup of tea today was this one, my favorite rooibos blend, an all natural combo of real roasted & dehydrated pumpkin (locally organically grown), pepita seeds, ginger & spices. It is delicious. It is made by a local company.
At this point I have to publicly apologize to Sil, because I still haven’t mailed her half of the order off. Sorry sister, I will hopefully get to the PO this week!
The final cup. So sad to see this one go. This calls for a hot bubble bath & iPad Mahjong. I’ll miss this tea, but hopefully it will return in the fall. Until then…
waaaaaaaannnnttttt…………
Yours is on it’s way. I was tempted to defile the package, lol, but I left it intact.
This sounds ridiculously amazing :D
misslena… best.pumpkin.tea.ever….EVER
I am very intrigued..I love pumpkin teas, and ginger is my favorite ingredient in tea usually…does this local store have a website from which you can order online? For next year haha :D
i don’t think so…but i fully plan on making terri buy me like 8oz next week
Sil, you mean next year, right? LOL
yes… sigh that’s how much i want it…next year UGH
Haha 8 oz?! Must be excellent tea! Lol I will have to wait before I even contemplate buying more tea..my friend has about 10 of my teas I got sent to her place and I should be receiving them this weekend, so I will have lots of tasting to do! And teas to sip down haha
Lena, the owner of the store has a tea blog at http://www.traveling-tea.com/
AND here’s the online catalogue

Oooh thank you so much!! And a new tea company to check out now too! (must not order anything lol)
I work for Traveling Tea and WE HAVE SOME IN STOCK! We only make it once a year with pumpkins from one local farm, so if you want some, put in an order now. We just bought the last pumpkin of the season! Thanks for everything Terri!
Thank you! Is my 2nd 8oz package ready for pickup?
It will be this week!
…Sigh…. Sil, I need to send the BBBB on to you soon, or I will run out of the last of this & start drinking yours!
I wanted more Chai, but not more caffeine, so I simmered this, just like I did the Laoshan Village Chai, & it was delicious. I go through phases with chai. Year’s ago I used to mix up my own, now I’m thinking I want to do that again. This cool weather has me in a mood for it. I was also thinking…I wonder how chai would be using a smokey tea?
We’ve been watching episodes of Supernatural all afternoon, just chilling out & drinking tea. I’ve had enough caffeine, for now anyway. I not a big fan of rooibos, but this tea is delicious. Without a doubt it wins the little terri award for Best Tasting Rooibos Tea, Best Pumpkin Tea, & Best Herbal Chai. I bought a little stash of this, & will be sad when it’s gone. But that day is not today, so let us not speak of such things, but rather, let us savor this moment only, along with the last few sips in this cup.
:D
Hmmm… I thought I had added this one, but I guess not.
This is a lovely pumpkin Chai, more or less. Very tasty, nicely spiced, & flavored with real dehydrated pumpkin, rather than flavorings. It comes from a local tea shop, & I pretty much bought the last of it, for this year. :)
I stopped by Traveling Tea yesterday to get somemore of the Pumpkin ginger spice she makes (All naturally flavored using locally grown organic pumpkins that she roasts & then dehydrates herself…it is delicious!).
In an effort to support local business, I bought an oz of this limited edition Yunnan Forest. It is organically grown, & is a decently bold & earthy brew, very smooth, tongue tingly, slightly bitter, with hints of cedar & a lingering sweetness. Oh, & it packs a punch!
pumpkin ginger spice?!??!?!?!?!
I wholeheartedly echo Sil’s response. Does this person ship?
Sil, from the first 1 oz sample I bought a couple weeks ago, I had saved some to send you, & my daughter Ari drank it! So that’s one of the reasons I went there, to see if I could get more. I got her last oz, which I’m hiding so that it won’t get drank until I can send you a sample.
She does ship. Sadly, this tea is at the end of production, as she ran out of homegrown pumpkins, I think. She is making one more batch, requested by another customer, & I told her if they didn’t take all of it, I’d take ‘the rest’, LOL, whatever that ends up being. I’m hoping she’ll call me to come get it!
I’m not sure how big a batch is, but if some people wanted to go in on a batch, I could try to get her to make one more batch for us to share…
awesome terri! let me know if you get “stuck” with leftover batch. If nothing else, something to bug her about next year when the pumpkins are back!
I got a sample of this from a local teashop. I’m trying to drink more non-caffeine teas in the evening, & so here we are.
This resembles the herbal teas from my hippy days, & initially I was a little put off by the aroma of spearmint. But actually, it’s pretty good as an after dinner tisane. One good thing I can say about the Traveling Tea Company is that their teas are Organic & Fair Trade. And they are less than 5 minutes from my house.
Hubby and I drank this one with Sandy and he was traumatized. He said it was like being forced to eat a bouquet of flowers. I liked it, and had hoped to dry the leaves and put them in a potpourri warmer in my bedroom, but had to nix that idea since he was emotionally scarred.
Lol
I read Evening in Missouri…but why ???? I’m sure Montana is lovely !
