Pumpkin Spice Customer Reviews

I'm starting October off right with this delicious fall tea ! I love pumpkin spice, and this smells amazing and has good flavor !(:

Very nice! Almost like a chai, great spice flavors and smooth tea.

Pretty good blend of spices, but it could really use a bit of actual pumpkin flavor. I was expecting something more like pumpkin pie.

Great fall and holiday flavor, very flavorful. Perfect hot tea, add a little of the white sugar crystals and cuddle with a comfy blanket!

I only wish the pumpkin flavor was a bit stronger. Otherwise it's a good tea to drink during the fall season. I've mixed it with cranberry and vanilla and that was pretty good, too.

All the fun things of fall rolled into one! I took a thermos of the pumpkin spice tea to the high school football game - perfect!

I am really enjoying this tea. I wouldn't say it is super pumpkin-y, though you can definitely taste/smell the pumpkin. In any case, it is a delightful spiced tea that feels perfect for the fall/holiday season. You can bet I'll be reordering this when I run out.

I love the pumpkin flavor added with the spices of pumpkin pie. Delicious.

This tea was alright, needed a little sweetener and milk

The spicing of this tea is absolute fabulous and doesn't need sugar, but with sugar it's a delightful dessert tea or sweet tooth soother. I can't wait to try it during winter.

I'm drinking this tea right now, and I love it. You can really smell and taste the pumpkin, which is nice because most 'pumpkin' spice flavored things just taste like the spices, without the pumpkin. The cardamom is a nice touch.

While the taste is good, it doesn't taste like pumpkin spice. I think that it could definitely be enhanced to taste more like pumpkin spice, but it requires cream and sugar to taste good and even then I don't get any pumpkin taste.

I didn't really taste the pumpkin in the tea, or the spice, which kind of took away from my enjoyment of the tea. It was also a bit more sweet than expected. However, that aside, the tea itself was enjoyable with a little bit of milk and sugar, and is a semi-sweet, comfy tea that's good for cold days.

It was neither very pumpkin flavored nor very spicy. Interesting smell that I can't describe, on the whole it isn't awful but it isn't a very noteworthy tea either. I think it would work well blended with chai and I shall try it that way next time I drink it.

I've found that this tea is actually best when blended with other teas...there just isn't enough spice in it by itself for my liking.

Lovely for autumn, but just a little bit bitter thanks to the combination of black tea and pumpkin (which is naturally pretty bitter-tasting). If you're not a fan of really dark black teas, I think this would be best taken with some milk and sugar. I really do wish I had a way to make tea lattes in my home--I'd make myself a pumpkin latte regularly until my sample pack ran out! I also wonder what this would taste like with the spiced apple blend. Hmm.

This is one of my favorite teas, and I am so glad it is back in the store! Had it this morning with just a drop of honey and a splash of whole milk and it tasted like pumpkin pie.

More like pumpkin spice than actual pumpkin, although if you ice it you get a bit more of the pumpkin flavor. Overall, just okay - nothing I'd order to drink again, and not truly spicy. Probably best when used as a flavor in a blend, and better than some of the other spice blends (gingerbread, cinnamon), but not a really great tea - like most of Adagio's 'spice' teas, it lacks any kind of real spice. Would be better if it was both more pumpkin-y and more spicy.

Love that I don't have to wait for some special season to enjoy pumpkin flavors. This is great year-round.

I found this tea to be good, but not great. It's rather bitter and tastes more like spices-that-go-with-pumpkin than pumpkin spice, if that makes sense. I finished the sample, but won't be ordering another size.

Not really a favorite. I like pumpkins and pumpkin pie and this just seemed far too subtle for my taste. For some reason, it tastes strongly of coconut to me, which makes me curious if my sample was wrongly labeled.

I was expecting a little more of the 'spice' to show through, but the sweet savoryish taste of pumpkin does really shine through. Added with some milk it tasted good, but not exactly something I think I'd label as a favorite. Add some cinnamon and some pumpkin pie flavored creamer and it was very sweet and warm. I think I might pair it up with my vanilla sample sometime.

Another awesome fall blend if you're excited about this time of the year!

Not as pumpkin-y as I would have hoped but the spices do put you in the mood for Autumn.

Not really tasting the pumpkin in this. It smells amazing but once brewed it tastes more sweet than spicy to me.

I LOVE this tea -- perfect with milk and sugar. I got my mom hooked, too!

This is good for fall time, but the flavors mask the base black tea taste a bit too much for me to make it an every-day tea.

I was so excited for this tea! Whenever it gets chilly, this tea is perfect bundled up in front of a fire with a bit of milk and sugar. It's the very embodiment of autumn.

A very nice black tea with just a kick of spice to it.

I received a package of this tea as a gift, and I fell in love and had to order more. This blend is everything fall. I love the spicy scent to the tea, but after adding milk and a bit of sugar, the scent mellowed. It has a mellow pumpkin flavor, too. It's excellent when served with desert, too. I've had three cups this evening and haven't grown tired of it. This is my go-to fall tea.

It was definitely just an okay tea. I was excited to try this blend despite the mixed reviews because I love pumpkin spice so much. This had a subtle sweet smell and an even weaker flavor that was neither truly pumpkin or spice. Adding milk helped a bit but didn't fully save the flavor. I enjoy the other spice teas on the site was hoping for a similarly distinct taste. I received this as my free sample upon purchase and am glad I did not pay for it. Unfortunately, I won't ever be buying it.

Delicious, I can't wait for autumn to drink this all day every day.

Am I the only one who thinks this tea smells alarming? I have only a sample sized pouch, and even in that small of a concentration, the tea leaves are a little bit evocative of... turpentine? I will say, however, that the brewed tea has no such issues, and the pumpkin and spice flavors are rather subtle, which is probably exactly what a lot of folks are looking for from a spicy Autumn/holiday tea. (If you think you might be looking for something that packs a bit more wallop and evokes that same rustic, Autumnal feeling, I think the Rooibos Cinnamon Apple yields more spicy punch/cup).

All in all, Pumpkin Spice could be better than it is, but it has good qualities.

This pumpkin spice tea is a first rate seasonal treat, but may not be to everyone's tastes. The natural pumpkin spice flavoring is good, but mildly sweet. I felt it could have been balanced more effectively by cinnamon or cardamom, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my cup. The aroma is extremely pleasant, and can only be categorized as cozy, with notes of the cardamom and marigold (two of the more scarce ingredients). Even if spiciness is what you're after, I would not overlook mixing this tea with another seasonal tea such as spiced apple cinnamon chai. I think it has tremendous potential for blending, and it still makes a satisfactory, albeit mildly sweet, cup of autumn cheer.

The smell from the bag is nice and autumn, it makes me feel nostalgic about halloweens and thanksgivings of my past. When steeped it has a magnificent pumpkin and spice flavor, and quite honestly it is the best pumpkin spice tea I have ever had. Usually I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice but I can see myself getting this in bulk when the fall rolls around.

A nice smooth flavored tea. Tastes of autumn and warms you right up. As always with flavored teas do *not* over steep it.

Not particularly pumpkin-y and not particularly spicy. But very warm, well rounded tea that supports the light spice treatment.

I am normally not a pumpkin fan. I love the scent but the taste, not so much. Upon opening the bag and sniffing, I wasn't too crazy about this tea. But then I brewed a cup. The taste is a perfect blend of creamy pumpkin and spices. One doesn't overpower the other. This is the perfect rainy day tea. I didn't need to add anything as far as sweeteners. It was perfect on its own.

When I was a coffee drinker my favorite flavor was pumpkin spice, though the grounds always smelled like an old ashtray to me. This has all the spiced flavor that I love without the bitterness or horrible stench. When you just can't have a pie, this is a reasonable facsimile.

Just not that enjoyable. Similar floral flavor as the mango tea. Very faint suggestion of spice. Maybe this is a leftover from fall of '12?

I absolutely love pumpkin pie and pumpkin-flavored hot drinks during the fall season, but this tea seems to fail my expectation in almost every respect. It smells and tastes like some kind of floral soap, with only a hint of spice. I even tried adding milk and sugar to the tea, but it didn't really change my opinion on this tea at all. Might be better suited for blending with other spicy teas.

I love the pumpkin spice blend. This is the second time I have ordered the pumpkin spice blend. It reminds me of fall, and gets me through the year when the coffee shops don't sell pumpkin spice lattes.

To me, the spice comes out a lot, but the pumpkin seems muted. I'm a huge fan of anything pumpkin spice, and while this wasn't my favorite of the couple of teas of the same flavor that I have, it was definitely not bad. I'll probably try some sugar next time to see if it brings out the pumpkin more.

A nice blend of pumpkin and spices. Goes well with the sweet potato and vanilla.

I waited a while to review this one, because it's different in a way I don't know how to describe, but definitely not bad. It's more subtle than you might expect, but nicely spiced.

Perfect! I love this tea -- I had to grab some after enjoying it in a blend. This tea could not be more perfect and well rounded. Add a touch of amber sugar crystals and it's fantastic.

uber-ly ridiculously (and ridonkulously) delicious

a very good tea, though a bit too much spice. i will try experimenting with the steep time.

I think I was expecting something different but once I got over my own thing I really liked this tea. I generally had it with a bit more milk than usual, to make a sort of latte, and really enjoyed it like that.

Perfect for when the weather is starting to get cold! Depending on how much water is in the cup or how hot it is, test out the tea with a slightly shorter brew time than the one on the package, or it sometimes comes out slightly bitter.
