Pumpkin and caramel make a lovely fall pairing, especially when there’s a little salty flavor to balance the sweetness. Simpson & Vail’s Salty Caramel Pumpkin brings those flavors together in a loose-leaf black tea that’s welcome on a cool afternoon.
The aroma offers a preview of both flavors. Pumpkin comes through first in the cup, followed by a salted caramel finish, with neither overpowering the other.
If you enjoy dessert-inspired black teas, this is a seasonal blend to try. Brew a cup for an afternoon break, or tuck it into a fall gift for a pumpkin-loving tea drinker.
