honeybush pumpkin chai

type: herbal

origin: sri lanka chai

caffeine: no-caffeine

price level: $$$$

Masala chai spices in a South African honeybush herb base, with a hint of pumpkin. This blend of honeybush, cinnamon bark, cardamom, ginger root, cocoa nibs & safflower is sure to delight. Beautiful clear and bright cup, with a crisp and tangy-sweet flavor. The heat of the spices is balanced beautifully with the natural smooth, mellow quality of the honeybush. Naturally caffeine free for an anytime treat. We suggest two heaping teaspoons per 6 oz cup. Sugar, cream or soy if desired. Steep at 212°F for 7-10 minutes

      Lovely decaf mild chai for evenings. I steeped at 212°F x 10 minutes, and sweetened with a tiny bit of sugar. The spices blend well together without any one of them dominating, and the honeybush stays in the background. Very comforting tea, like a warm hug in a cup.

      Maybe it's just the way I steeped it but this tea is a tad on the weak side. It's a combination of those classic autumnal flavors that we either love or hate and that's pretty much the gist. The honeybush base makes the blend gel together a little better than the black pumpkin spice tea from the same company.

      This is a delicious chia. It is perfect for the afternoon since it doesn't have any caffeine but it doesn't disappoint in flavor either.

      My favorite herbal chai!!!! I drink this every day in the winter! A good caffeine free alternative tastes very similar to a black tea chai, or the masala chai from adagio. I always add honey and almond or cashew milk to this, a good desert tea.

      I've had two very different experiences with this tea. It seems to be luck of the draw on your blend. The first time I purchased it, the spices were well balanced and the honeybush provided a nice sweet, earthy base (5 star tea). After finishing the package, I purchased a larger pouch. The spices are stronger, and all I really taste is cinnamon. It's hard to pull out any other flavors and I have to cream just to tame the overwhelming spice enough to drink. It isn't as good, and I don't reach for it as often as I would have if it tasted like the first batch I had. Moral of the story, it seems like it could vary from batch to batch on how heavy handed the cinnamon is.

      This is a pleasant, light tea. The pumpkin and chai spices are very subtle, so don't expect bold flavor from this one. Still, it's a soothing blend for fall.

      I was on a chai streak and got this, among other chai teas, to try out. My only regret is that I didn't get a full size packet! It's a rich, delicious tea that any chai lover should try at least once.

      The scent is rather overwhelming, but the taste is divine. I haven't had many honeybush teas so I'm glad to have found this one.

      Brewed as per the instructions.

      Really enjoyed the spice on this. Adagio had introduced me to honeybush and it’s really been a good experience.

      Perfect for Fall! The combination of the Pumpkin and the Chai spices is heaven. I also mixed this with their Pumpkin Spice tea for a half-calf version!

      Like fall in a cup! SUPER spicy, if that's what you're into. Great with creamer.

      This tea is terrific for fall. Though it could do with just a dash of cinnamon.

      I had this with cream and sugar as I usually do with chai, and it mostly just tasted like weak pumpkin milk. Not nearly spicy enough.

    • 

      I think the flavor balance of this tea was poor. There was much too much cinnamon and it overpowered the other flavors and gave the tea a strange aftertaste.

      Made for a nice morning latte. Good mix of spice, not much pumpkin but it’s more about the spices anyways.

      Was pretty meh to me. Very light and not very flavorful.

      Yum! And decaf, too. :)

      Like the aftertaste of pumpkin pie with the addition of some milk and sugar.

      Pretty mild, light and sweet. If you prefer a lighter spice, this might be a good choice.

      This was a tasty pumpkin chai. I liked the honeybush base, it nice when I want a caffeine free option.

      Great fall tea with the hint of pumpkin chai, This makes great pumpkin chai latte

      This one took me a couple cups to decide how I felt about it. Good for those that like a little lighter chai flavor.

    • 

      I don't really taste pumpkin in this tea, and the chai flavor is very faint. I would classify it as a mild tea. I've tried it with both sugar and honey, and I definitely prefer the latter.

    • 

      This is one of my favorite honeybush chai teas during the fall! It's naturally sweet and the pumpkin flavor is subtle but the mild spices help to compliment the subtle pumpkin flavor beautifully. It's bold but delicious! I drink it every October. Since it could use a little more pumpkin flavor, I like to blend this with the pumpkin spice black tea!

    • 

      It's a good caffeine free chai, but has no pumpkin flavor.

    • 

      When steeped long enough for the sweet flavor of the honeybush to balance out the spices in this tea blend this makes for fall in a cup! It takes a big of figuring out how long you personally like to steep this one and trust me it's worth it

    • 

      I loved this but would have liked more pumpkin flavor instead of just the spice. Still a favorite!

      WOW!! What a delicious tisane! Adagio hit the nail on the head for this one. It has the perfect level of spiciness. Well done!
