Summer is gone, winter is fast approaching.
There are colors everywhere (well, if you live in Northern Climates that is)
Wherever you live, there is a longing and satisfaction to sip and taste the treats of Autumn, such as pumpkin doughnuts, Cinnamon Apple scones, etc.
My personal favorite tea in this season is Spiced Chai Tea, or Cinnamon Apple. I also love homemade Pumpkin cookies to go with my spiced tea.
Here are some tea flavors that will spice up your tea time for this Autumn season.
