Pumpkin shows up in a lot of autumn blends as a scent more than a flavour, but this one leans into fruit to make the pumpkin note land: pieces of apple, orange peel, freeze-dried tangerine and orange, and vanilla sit alongside the pumpkin itself, with safflower petals for colour and natural flavouring tying it together. No actual tea leaf is in the mix, so it steeps soft rather than brisk, and the cup comes out sweet and citrusy with that pumpkin character riding underneath rather than dominating.
It reads as an autumn tisane but doesn't have to stay one. Brewed hot it suits a cold afternoon; left to cool it holds up fine as an iced infusion in warmer months, since the fruit and citrus notes carry through either way. The blend is packed by hand and made to order by Tea & Coffee, so what arrives is fresh rather than sitting on a shelf.
To brew it, steep for around 5 to 10 minutes in a filter or infuser rather than loose in the cup, using freshly boiled water. It's best taken plain, without milk or sweetener, since the fruit already carries the sweetness. Expect a mouthfeel that's silky rather than sharp, with the citrus notes upfront and the pumpkin and spice trailing behind, plus a faint vanilla warmth that rounds off the finish. Some drink it for the safflower content, traditionally associated with supporting heart health, though that's a minor note next to the flavour itself. As a naturally low-calorie infusion, it also works as a straightforward stand-in for sweeter soft drinks when you want something warm or cold without the sugar.
