FAQs

The best teas for fall offer something for every time of day, from invigorating morning cups to caffeine-free evening infusions . For a caffeinated morning or afternoon cup, explore black teas such as Golden Yunnan or an autumn tea blend like Masala Chai.

For a quieter evening ritual, try a caffeine-free botanical infusion such as Cinnamon Plum, Turmeric Ginger, Tangerine Ginger or Rooibos. without caffeine.

Not necessarily. Teas for fall are often selected because their flavor profiles suit the season, rather than because the leaves were picked during autumn. It’s also worth remembering that fall in the Northern Hemisphere is spring in the Southern Hemisphere, in addition to harvest timing varying significantly by origin, climate and tea style.

When and how tea is harvested can influence its flavor, and tea-growing regions around the world have different harvest seasons. For example, in South Asia, the autumn season in Assam typically includes a harvest from September into October, and an autumn flush Darjeeling tea is generally harvested from October into November. In China, some tea-growing regions also have autumn harvests, producing teas with distinct seasonal character.

There is no single answer, because harvest timing is only one factor that affects the tea’s character, alongside tea type, origin, weather, cultivar, processing and more.

Rishi notes that black and dark teas can benefit from more mature leaves, which can contribute greater complexity and more developed tannin structure – ideal for those contemplatively drizzly days. Rather than expecting one universal “autumnal” flavor, look at the specific origin, harvest and processing details of each tea.

There may be nothing more satisfying than holding a delightfully warm mug against a slightly chilly fall morning, but when you are hosting, autumn teas can do more than that.

Autumn teas are a natural fit for fall gatherings, bringing seasonal flavors and inviting warmth to the table. From apple and pumpkin to cinnamon and chai spices, autumn tea flavors are made for sharing, whether you’re hosting brunch, an afternoon gathering or enjoying things in a more laid-back fashion, like a cozy game night evening with friends.

For an apple-forward option,try our Cinnamon Plum Apple Cider, which combines loose leaf Cinnamon Plum with apple cider. Or try our Spicy Chai Cocoa, a warming hot chocolate remix featuring Spicy Masala Chai. Your group may love our Mushroom Hero Mocha, where adaptogen-powered Mushroom Hero teams up with dark chocolate, a pinch of sea salt and cacao-laced whipped foam.
