pumpkin spice
by adagio teas
(65 reviews)Premium black tea from Sri Lanka flavored with pumpkin and exotic spices. Autumn festivities just wouldn't be the same without the comforting, smooth sweetness of spiced pumpkin - and neither would your tea time. Warm and rich flavor, with lingering cozy aromatics. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

Nothing really exciting, tastes like all other pumpkin spice things I've had. Cinnamon and clove, no actual pumpkin.

I added some oat milk. The aroma is heavy on clove and cinnamon. The tea is suuuper smooth and tasty! Heavy on cloves and cinnamon, too. It's just the kind of spiced tea I love - quite strong but not spicy, very comforting. Love it!

For some reason pumpkin spice doesn’t seem to transfer over from coffee to tea very well. This has all the makings and flavor profile to match the name but just didn’t hit home.

Strong, aromatic, and bittersweet with emphasis on spice rather than pumpkin, which suits me fine. I would love a little more of the cardamom, but it's my favorite flavor so I'm biased.

Very subtle flavor - I think the pumpkin is the perfect amount but the spices could be more flavorful.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I actually felt the spices were really weak. I feel like I almost picked up more on the floral and pumpkin flavor than the more intense fall flavors like clove and cardamom I was hoping for. It was fine, just kind of boring.

Upon opening the packet, cloves hit me. Definitely not my happy place smelling only cloves. I picked the three cloves out before brewing. The aroma became a faint spice and the flavor was mild spice, no astringency. Someone who is okay with the potency of cloves would enjoy this, especially with milk and sugar. Alas, not for me.

Not one of my personal faves, but as pumpkin spice teas go, this is one of the better ones I've had

Variety is the spice of life and this is a nice tea to add to the rotation though I prefer for the spice notes to be more forward.

This is an extra delicious chai tea made from all the spices in a pumpkin pie (but no pumpkin). I highly recommend, and steeped at 190 degrees for 3 minutes with sweetener and creamer

A really good blend of the various pumpkin spice tastes, with the clove and cinnamon especially standing out for me. I prefer the honeybush pumpkin chai but this one is fantastic too if you want a caffeinated option. Starbucks coffee gives me a headache, so this is a great alternative to the PSL!

This has all the spices you would find in a pumpkin pie. Don't expect actual pumpkin though. I thought it was like fall in a cup.

This is by far my favorite pumpkin spice tea blend. The black tea is accented with just enough spicy goodness to make this a lovely cup of tea -- not too much, not too little. Very comforting and relaxing! love it!

A great choice for getting into a festive fall mood! This one is heavy on the chai and clove with a hint of pumpkin (good news if you aren't a huge pumpkin fan, perhaps less so if you are). If you aren't expecting a pronounced, pumpkin-spice latte flavor, you'll likely be satisfied with this blend. It's warm and a tad bitter, so a little sweetener goes a long way!

Not my favorite. Too clovey, maybe? It's just so overpoweringly spicy as to be off-putting, and it just contaminates my tins. Can't get the smell out no matter how hard I try.

This tea is really tasty and not overpowering. I only wish the pumpkin flavor was a little stronger.

A nice strong black tea with a hint of orange and spice, not as pumpkiny as one would think

Strong spice when bag was opened. I used 2tsp. tea to 8oz. 212 degree water. Steeped for 6 min. Tastes like hot water with cloves. Next steep I'll try more tea and some honey. Not my favorite tea nor another bag.
not a favorite.

I'm getting all spice, no pumpkin. Like other reviewers have said, it's more like a chai. Too much clove for me.
-
Ginger Frydrych
It's quite strong. It reminded me more of a spice chai than pumpkin anything. I won't repurchase. I'll stick with Adagio spiced chai instead.

I really wanted a pumpkin spice tea and this one has nice spices, though it doesn't taste very distinctively pumpkin-y, which is a shame. I think it could maybe be slightly sweeter and have more a of a pumpkin vibe, not just the spices.
-
Cameron Kilchrist
I have to agree with other reviewers and say that this pumpkin spice tea is more like pumpkin chai than anything. The pumpkin doesn't show up as much as I'm looking for but if you're a fan, it just might scratch that itch for you.

This was a super good tea with cream and sugar. The spices were so delightful although I don't know I felt the pumpkin spice flavors with it I still really enjoy it. I almost feel like its a type of chai compared to pumpkin spice.

I only had a sample of this tea, but so enjoyed it! Steeped extra-strong (3g in 6oz of water at 190° x 3 minutes.... but it could go longer). After it cooled, I blended it with frozen almond milk "ice cubes", vanilla, and maple syrup to taste. Sprinkled cinnamon on top and enjoyed a tasty treat. A lovely blend of fall flavors! I'm sure it is good sipped hot, too.

Tastes as expected. Reminiscent of a mild chai, but there is a slight bitterness. I added milk and honey as I would a chai, after I asted it without, and the spice comes out more. Yummy tea!

Marion Black
I enjoyed this tea, for me it’s a fall time tea. I enjoyed it with some cream and sugar

I don't tend to get the pumpkin flavor, but the spice (which is my favorite part) comes through well. Also very good with a splash of pumpkin creamer.
-

This tea is perfect! It has a wonderful chai flavor. I steeped it at 200 degrees to avoid any black tea bitterness and added a very small amount of rock sugar crystals. It is the perfect way to start out on a cold, early, morning.

I'm not really getting the pumpkin spice quality. It definitely tastes like a regular nice chai. Regardless, it's still a nice tea.

I really dislike pumpkin spice flavor so Im pretty biased about this tea. It isn't really bad, just not for me
-
Michael Jacobson
Absolutely wonderful. It's so warm and nice, reminescent of pumpkin bread. Definitely one of the best spiced teas I've had.

This is a tasty tea, but I was a bit disappointed that the spices weren't stronger.

Although this isn't a tea I would necessarily drink every single day, I really like it - I got it in my Adagio Tea Club shipment along with the Candy Cane tea. The main thing I love about it is that it doesn't try to go the chai route (chai kind of turns my stomach). It also doesn't have too much of a "pumpkin" flavor, which can sometimes taste odd. It's just a solid black tea with a delightful blend of spices you might use with a pumpkin pie. It has great depth and is very pleasant, especially for the fall!

This has quickly become one of my favorites for Fall! The scent and flavor of Pumpkin Spice are perfect! On a side note, for a half-calf version that is a little spicier I mixed it with the Pumpkin Chai.

i'm in the mood for pumpkin spice, and enjoyed immensely. added a Tbs of canned pumpkin too

I was worried when I open the bag and was slapped in the face by an overwhelmingly strong scent of pumpkin spice, but once it was brewed up it tasted great and a little cream really mellows out the flavor.

I liked this more than I expected! The pumpkin isnt overly strong and doesn't taste artificial. I liked this for breakfast a lot.

This had lots of good spice but was a bit short on pumpkin. I wish the tea had more body for some reason.
-
Alexis Wolf
I found this tea quite bitter, honestly--neither a sweet and creamy pumpkin flavor or a spicy nutmeg-type flavor came through for me.
-
Cassandra Guild
This tea smelled nice, but I wasn't satisfied with the taste. I felt like it had a weird watery squash undertone that was mildly off-putting. It also needed more spice.
-

I'm more of an apple cider girl than a pumpkin spice girl, but I got this in Adagio's CommuniTEA and it made a delicious latte with a little sweetener. It was perfect for a fall morning.

You can never go wrong with pumpkin spice. It just ushers fall in. But unfortunately I'm not really a pumpkin spice fanatic, so while I enjoy this and am glad to have it I'm not going to run out to grab it
-
Delaney Burk
Just wonderful. While I don't recommend this if you're looking for a less caffeinated version of a PSL, this tea is like a delightfully lighter option.

I thought I wasn’t going to like this but it’s honestly delicious! The spice and pumpkin aren’t too strong but you can still taste them.
-

Wonderful tea for anytime of the year, works well with vanilla and milk and sugar. Slight pumpkin flavor and spices dont overpower it.
-
Lydia Getgen
Perfect for the fall! The aromas given off by this tea are absolutely hypnotic!
-
Travis Stewart
This is one of my favorite black teas. You can definitely taste the spice by it isn't too strong. This is a perfect tea for the fall time.
-
Brannon Hall
This is an all-around good tea. With sugar, both the pumpkin and spice flavors are subtle. The spice is a bit more pronounced when you don't add sugar.
-
Ryan Jason
This is probably my favorite black tea from Adagio. I always drink a lot of this during October. The pumpkin spice flavors aren't too strong, but you can still taste them and they blend perfectly with the black tea. Tastes great hot or iced. It's like Halloween in a cup!

I knew I would like this one when I found it in my advent calendar but I was still shocked by how yummy it was!

I wanted to give this full 5 stars but it would not let me! This is the only pumpkin spice tea that I like and I have tried many of them. I do mine at full 5 mins, and also at 3 min, it is great!
