Pumpkin Spice Brûlée - Oolong Tea

Like most motivated shoppers, I generally find myself rushing through the mall to get to the next stop, but on this particular shopping spree, I decided to stop and try a sample of tea at Teavana. Since it is fall and this has been an unseasonably warm October, I decided to try the Pumpkin Brûlée in an attempt to claim a little fall-spirit.

The result was absolute perfection in a fall tea. Here's why: It's not too sweet. It's not too heavy or too rich. I was also somewhat expecting a cider effect since it's a clear-fall-liquid and let's face it, so far, there just hasn't been a whole lot out there beyond cider in clear-fall-liquids. 

So I went about my day thinking about this glorious tea I had just experienced. I told probably about 5-10 people about this tiny sample that I tried before I actually decided I needed to purchase some of this stuff so I could share it with the people I had raved about it to!

It was on special when I went back (bonus) so that was awesome. Normally $12 for the minimum (2oz) you can buy which makes about 15 cups or so. Definitely worth it. But it was 30% off so that was great. I spent about $10 which makes each cup around .65! That's about $5 and 375 calories less than a tall Pumpkin Spice Latte. (Not that I'm really concerned with calories if it's a treat, but it is notably healthier.)

Definitely worth a try! P.S. Tea also makes great gifts for hosts or thank yous.  Enjoy!
