You Read Right: It’s Time for Pumpkin Spice

For twenty years, pumpkin spice drinks have taken over café menus in the fall. With September just around the corner, start stocking up now and plan how this seasonal favorite will be featured on your menu. Suprisingly, many chains add this sweet treat to their lineups as early as mid-August! Without a doubt, it’s never too soon for the call for fall!

At Royal Tea NY, we offer this famous flavor through our Pumpkin Spice Puer. Produced in Yunnan, China, the high body of aged puer tea is perfect for the grounding, earthy base reminiscent of autumnal aromas. A blend of shou puer and malty Assam, this black tea has generous amounts of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and cardamom. The flavors of pumpkin pie and vanilla crème are the final touches to create a decadent drink on a crisp, autumn morning.

This fall, we wanted to share some fun and easy recipes for Pumpkin Spice Puer. Yes, you can of course brew it for a refreshing cup of tea, but you can also use it to make pumpkin spice syrup! Tea syrups are appearing on café and bar shelves as an easy additional ingredient for flavorful and sweet drinks. If you find this as exciting as we do, read on for our syrup recipe as well as other innovative ideas to spice up your menu.
