The Best Flavors of Tea to Complement the the Autumn Season

SUHEL AHMED • 21 October 2021
So, the trees are starting to shift to orange, and the atmosphere is getting cooler. It’s finally autumn, so you can bust out your sensible sweater and look forward to berry picking and bonfires. 

With the seasonal shift, it’s great to warm up with a nice cup of tea. Pick a flavour that suits your tastes and also matches perfectly with the coming of autumn.

Pumpkin Spice

One of the things that always gets tied to the autumn is a pumpkin. Even if Halloween is a more American tradition, there’s something universal about pumpkin (and it tastes good, too). Enjoy a rich and smooth tea by drinking black tea infused with pumpkin spice.

It’s got just the right amount of spice to give you a nice and toasty feel. Add in a small splash of milk, and you’re good to go. 

Apple and Cinnamon Black Tea

Think of those chilly afternoons spent at home while mum bakes in the kitchen. The scent can fill your house as you watch the birds fly by your window. Remember the leaves crunching beneath your feet. 

This is the feeling this tea creates. It’s an aromatic tea that almost tastes like an apple pie. It’s warm and just fruity enough under that cinnamon. Drink with a nice scone for the full effect.

Darjeeling

Often considered one of the finest teas, Darjeeling brings India’s finery into your cup. This tea is lighter than black tea carries such a distinct aroma. This scent can make the roughest person feel posh.

It goes perfectly with Indian food, especially because most restaurants will have the tea brewed perfectly as intended. It’s subtle but just sweet enough. If you’re going to add milk, make sure you’ve got autumn flush Darjeeling. Take it with a meal so your stomach can take in all the flavours smoothly.

Rooibos

This tea is most likely favoured by your one friend that’s always fresh from some new fitness challenge. It’s mild, antioxidant-rich, and has no caffeine. This also makes it a solid option for anyone who wants to feel the autumn spirit but might suffer from hyperacidity. 

To really bask in that autumn feeling, bring out a good book and have a vanilla rooibos for that added taste. Make sure you’ve got comfortable clothing on, though, because this tea can make you very sleepy. 
 
Chai

Chai is another tea that feels like it fully embodies autumn. A wonder of nature’s blend, this tea uses cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and black pepper. This is another Indian tea that perfectly utilises spice. Add a touch of milk in there to make it the perfect drink to greet the morning chill. 

Closing

Whether you’re curling up with a good book on your own or having a delicious lunch with a friend at a curry restaurant, a cup of tea sorts everything out. There’s just a comfort about it that still goes unmatched. You can even have fun and try every flavour, so you can switch it up depending on your mood.
