The question on the table: “Is pumpkin spice tea exclusively for autumn?” I say,”Don’t put pumpkin spice in a corner.”
Surely, the winter months are not out of the question. I would probably draw the line around May because we’re entering the iced tea portion of the year. Now if you’re still hankering for the hot tea, make way for lavenders, peach, and other lighter flavors befitting spring.
I was gifted a box of Tea Forté Pumpkin Spice tea, and there is so much to be excited about with this rich box of goodness. It’s a black tea with distinctive notes of ginger, cloves, and cinnamon. Each note enhances the other in high and low tones.

Something else I loved about this tea was the color, it’s just an absolutely gorgeous orange-brown hue. Make sure to steep the tea bag to get to that lovely color.
The overall presentation is also worth taking notice. The ornate box displays autumnal colors as a precursor to that aromatic, impressively loaded, pumpkin spice flavor. And then there’s the tea bag itself…in my box, I had 10 pyramid infuser bags with the cutest little leaf stem for steeping the tea.
One more thing…allow me just a few more kudos for the care and love given to each tea bag. Each one comes in an individually wrapped pyramid box with a beautiful gold foil inlay. It really makes the unwrapping an experience. And when you receive the box set, you know you have been given something special.
Since it was a gift, I wasn’t sure of the cost, so with a quick look on the Tea Forté website, The box set retails around $23. On other sites, it was sold for prices ranging from $26 to upwards of $60, so shop wisely. The company has an enormous catalog for tea lovers like us. (Yes, I biasedly assumed.) So, sip to your heart’s delight in every season.
Additionally, out of the 184 people who added a rating, 144 gave it the highest rating of 5/5 with the overall rating being 4.5. That’s a pretty good endorsement, and as someone who has thrown a tea party or four, I’m more than happy to give my endorsement too.
