Holy crap, this smells amazing. Really spicy, particularly heavy on the nutmeg. I swear I even get a hint of allspice along with the cinnamon. This is what I always want a pumpkin spice latte to smell like.

The scent of the steeped tea is a gentler version of the dry leaf, but not too toned down at all. I get this glorious waft of pumpkin pie spices mixed in with pumpkin squash and whipped cream. And it delivers on the flavour, as well. This really is the closest tea I’ve tried to actual pumpkin pie, at least the way my great grandmother made it. Although I still follow her recipe almost to a T(ea, har har), this is so hers because she used to use actual whipping cream for the whipped cream topping and in the filling itself, whereas I tend to lean towards whole milk in the filling and Cool Whip as a topping. This has that rich whipped cream aspect.

I haven’t made pumpkin pie in three years so I better make it this year now! Wait, isn’t tea supposed to help deter you from eating dessert? I’m going in the opposite direction. I want more of this tea and actual pumpkin pie.
