I absolutely love this tea, however, if you are looking for a pumpkin spice blend, I would look elsewhere. The spice flavor is definitely mellow in this one. I get a little bit of cloves but that's about it. What I mainly get is a smoky pumpkin blend with caramel and brown sugar undertones. Which for me is fine because I love anything pumpkin. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a mellower pumpkin blend as I cannot survive the Autumn without it.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2020-09-19</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2020-09-19" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="238423501"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Deja_Brew</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Use the recipe!</span> <span itemprop="description">I made this and was a bit underwhelmed, but then I took the suggested recipe from the product description - brown sugar and steamed milk, and that changed everything. That is how I exclusively made it from then on out. Wish it was lower or no caffeine, but I was able to enjoy this on the days when I could sit at home and relax. It has a good spiced pumpkin flavor, in my opinion. Not too much pumpkin and not too much spice (although there was more spice than pumpkin, I would say) Although caffeinated, I would purchase this again.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2020-11-06</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2020-11-06" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="236740269"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Princess Daisy</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Best Pumpkin Chai Around</span> <span itemprop="description">Pumpkin chais on the market tend to be cinnamon forward&mdash;to the point it can be overwhelming.

The last batch I bought has a different flavor than what I knew and loved. Just like SRDC4 discovered, the flavor changed, and it&rsquo;s not better. I&rsquo;m sad that something I&rsquo;ve been enjoying since the first season they ever had it is now different so instead of drinking it every day, I&rsquo;ve stopped completely.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2024-08-17</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2024-08-17" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="236590790"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Bridge:)</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">My favorite tea</span> <span itemprop="description">This is literally my favorite tea.

But I am sad to say that this year it is definitely different. I wouldn't say it's bad tasting but it tastes more like a gingerbread cookie than the original pumpkin chai. It also is a bit overpowered by cloves and I can't taste anything even close to pumpkin. This was drinking it plain and adding a bit of milk and sweetener. Overall I'll finish what I got because it's not undrinkable but it does make me a bit sad.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2024-09-15</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2024-09-15" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="260289423"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">TheAri</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">5 stars for the tin, 3.5 for the tea!</span> <span itemprop="description">I got this one as the 90g printed tin which is beautiful with the pumpkins!! I really love this tin and hope to use it lots in the future for all kinds of Halloween or autumn-themed teas! The loose-leaf tea fills up roughly 3/4 of the tin, and looks super nice with the little candy pumpkins in it. Some of them are rather misshapen and remind more of strange orange blobs, but I still like how it looks. Also, it smells reaaaaally nice. The pumpkin-scent really comes through in this one, with a nice, strong note of black tea. It doesn&rsquo;t smell artificial, and doesn&rsquo;t have that overly cinnamon-y smell, which I&rsquo;m very grateful for. (I personally don&rsquo;t like it when the cinnamon overpowers everything else, and generally prefer teas with little or no cinnamon, too.) As Hot Tea: I made this as normal hot tea first, since that&rsquo;s my favorite way of consuming any tea. It steeps nicely and has a rich dark color when done. It smelled mostly of a nice, strong black tea with a hint of that autumn/fall-vibe to it, maybe from the spices or the pumpkin, though it&rsquo;s a tad too faint to really become discernable. It does smell really nice though. Taste-wise, after being impatient and burning my tongue almost immediately, the black tea taste is definitely the strongest, which I personally like. It has a sweet and yet sort of smoky aftertaste to it, and the spices are certainly there, but a little weaker than I&rsquo;d have expected from a pumpkin chai. I like that there is a bit of pumpkin flavor, usually the pumpkin chai&rsquo;s I&rsquo;ve seen and had in the past only had pumpkin pie spices slapped onto them and that was that. Here, there is a bit of pumpkin taste, and it&rsquo;s a very pleasant tea all around. I added a bit of (oat) milk next, which made the black tea a little milder and in turn emphasized the smokiness and spices. It still mildly tasted of pumpkin, which is awesome. I also made a second steep with the same 1.5 spoonful of tea, and it turned out okay-ish. Not the strongest second steep I&rsquo;ve ever had, but also not the weakest or worst. It&rsquo;s a black tea so I&rsquo;d hope 2-3 steeps should be doable without a hitch, but there is a bit of loss in regards to flavor and smokiness. Still, decent steep, and decent tea. As Tea Latte: Since all the teas I&rsquo;ve tried so far from DT tasted really great as tea lattes, I had high hopes for the pumpkin chai as well. I was gonna stick to the recommended amount of 4 Perfect spoons of tea, but after 3 scoops it already seemed&hellip;like A LOT, so I only added a tiny bit more and called it a day. As it turns out, I think it would have been better with even less than that, because the tea steeped pretty strongly (probably due to all the black tea) and the latte turned out&hellip;alright. Not the best, not the worst, still very much drinkable, but it mostly just tasted like a really strong black tea. I didn&rsquo;t get much if any of the spices, and was all around a little disappointed. I tried a second steep since that was going to be milder, but it still had that overwhelming black tea taste, which isn&rsquo;t unpleasant but reminds of a really strong black tea (that sort of malty taste that some black teas have, like Russian Country?) but I was mostly hoping for more pumpkin and chai spices and flavors. I even did a third steep which also turned out alright, so you can certainly steep this a bunch of times if you use a little more of the tea leaves than when making a hot tea. I&rsquo;m glad I got a tin of this tea so I can try the tea latte again at a later time with less scoops and see how that goes. I think with the perfect ratio, this tea would taste absolutely amazing. If I can&rsquo;t find that perfect ratio, I&rsquo;ll just enjoy it as hot tea with a bit of milk. Who would I recommend this tea to? Anyone who likes fall-themed flavors and teas, and who is a fan of pumpkin and/or pumpkin-related spices. This doesn&rsquo;t taste as much of a chai as it does like a black tea with spices, so it might also be a good tea for someone to try out who hasn&rsquo;t had a chai yet and isn&rsquo;t sure whether they&rsquo;d like the taste. Also, anyone who prefers mild teas and teas that still taste like tea WITH something, rather than SOMETHING with tea.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2022-08-12</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2022-08-12" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="278015465"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">2</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">SRDC4</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Changed recipe</span> <span itemprop="description">Pumpkin chai has always been one of my favorites &mdash; but the batch I received through my most recent purchase seems like an entirely different blend.
