I e-mailed Bigelow Teas, telling them how much I enjoy their loose teas and they sent me two coupons for $1.00 off 2 boxes of their tea. A store I go to has Bigelow teas on sale buy one get one free, so this will work for my traveling tea sampler. (Winn Dixie) I order loose Constant Comment and several others from Bigelow.
They also sent a sample of Pumpkin Spice Autumn Spiced Tea. It is good. Not too spicy but quite good, pleasant aftertaste, great nose. If I had read the ingredients first, I might not have tried the tea, but it really is GOOD. I'll be using my coupons to get a stash of this. Yeah, bags are an abomination, but how many of you carry your tea supplies and tea to a restaurant? Not to mention telling them that the water has to be exactly 180F, 210F. They'd kick you out of McDonald's.
Ingredients: black tea, natural pumpkin flavors with other natural flavoring, (soy lecithin), cinnamon, licorice root, clove, ginger, pumpkin flakes.
Five cups up.

Thanks for the post. I'm always looking for anything pumpkin this time of year. My wife recently came home with Celestial Seasoning's Herbal Pumpkin or Gingerbread Spice tea. Oh man, was it awful...she couldn't finish a cup. I tried it plain, with sugar and finally with sugar and cream and I think it just kept getting worse.
I never should have already wrapped the Pumpkin Spice tin I got from Adagio this far away from Christmas...

I feel your pain! Sis is forever sending me boxes and boxes of that sludge from Celestial Seasonings. Love the art on the boxes but the tea is garbage, IMO.
Probably stepped on toes there, sorry. Not. G A R B A G E.
The irony is that some here turn their refined noses up at Twinings, which offers a good product made of quality tea, but because it says Herbal, well, it's gotta be good.
OH, and whatever you do, if she brings home Yogi tea ginger tea, toss it in the garbage. That tea made me puke. Really. I ask you, who would put black pepper in tea? Most likely the geniuses who throw gobs of flowers in to make it pretty.
We're going to be hitting a couple of the local Wally Worlds today. If I find the Pumkin Spice at the one near you, I'll e-mail or pm.
Life is just too short to drink crappy tea.

Jeanne - I never met a tea pot I didn't like.
Re: Received Bigelow Tea Sample
I was captured til I read "licorice root"... I can't STAND licorice or anise. Before reading that, I thought combining it w/ Black Whiskey Creme, a chocolate flavored black tea would be YUMMY. The only way I will eat pumkin is in Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin cookies. Add 1 can pumpkin (not pie filling) to a mix of double chocolate chip cookies. The pumpkin makes the cookies a fudge consistancy and would be wonderful w/ this tea.treazure wrote:Ingredients: black tea, natural pumpkin flavors with other natural flavoring, (soy lecithin), cinnamon, licorice root, clove, ginger, pumpkin flakes.
