Kicking off pumpkin spice tea season

Happy First Day of Fall!

PSA to my Canadian friends: The holiday teas by Stash and Celestial Seasonings are now available on Bulk Barn.

Bulk Barn also sells loose leaf teas. But the way they store their tea leaves is less than ideal: clear plastic and the container is not air tight (because of the scoops).

I couldn't resist trying their pumpkin spice black tea which included real pumpkin seeds. A sample of 45 g cost less than $2! So I figured that if I didn't like the tea, I can just toss or give it away without worrying about wasting money.

I served the pumpkin spice black tea at last week's pop-up tea at the office. My colleagues and I thought the tea had a pleasant spicy taste, although the pumpkin flavour wasn't very obvious.

I've also been enjoyed Baskin-Robbins' pumpkin pie ice cream.

What's your favourite pumpkin tea or dessert?
