sweet potato pie
Flavors in tea can serve several purposes. You can literally make the tea taste like something else, you can accent a flavor that's naturally in the tea (like blending peaches with white tea, for example). You can also do it to support the tea in a textural way... and sometimes that can be the most surprising of all! Sweet potato pie is a traditional favorite from the South, but a stranger to the tea world. When paired with brisk and sometimes gently malty Ceylon black tea, the sweet potato flavor really comes through in hints of starchiness and texture. Toasty, sweet and smooth. Pleasant and playful cup of tea. Extra toasted marshmallows, please!114 reviews

ingredients & lore
blended with black tea, natural sweet potato flavor, cinnamon bark, ginger root and marigold flowers
The sweet potato is actually related to morning glories, but only a distant cousin of regular potatoes. This tuberous root can have red, purple, brown or white skin. While sweet potatoes have enjoyed a long and celebrated history here in the United States, they've also been an important part of food culture in China, Japan, Indonesia, India and Africa. Sweet potato pies date back to the mid-1800's; candied sweet potatoes slathered in fluffy marshmallows didn't come along until around 1920.
