As the weather cools and autumn flavors take center stage, there’s no better way to enhance your seasonal treats than with the perfect tea pairing. From pumpkin-spiced sweets to cinnamon-dusted pastries, fall is filled with warm, comforting foods that pair beautifully with a soothing cup of tea. At Full Moon Tea Company, we’ve created blends that not only embody the flavors of fall but also complement some of the season’s most iconic treats.
Here are our favorite tea pairings for classic autumn goodies, featuring our new Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea, the bold Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai, the refreshing Pear & Ginger Green Tea, and the cozy Evening Peach Orchard Herbal Tea.
1. Pair Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea with Pumpkin Bread
There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked pumpkin bread on a crisp fall day. Its warm spices and moist texture make it an autumn favorite. For the perfect tea pairing, sip on our seasonal Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea.
This limited-edition blend contains real organic pumpkin, warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and granulated maple syrup. The sweet, spicy, and earthy notes of the tea highlight the pumpkin and spices in the bread, making every bite and sip feel like a celebration of fall.
Pro Tip: Add a splash of milk or cream to your Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea to create a creamy, latte-like experience that pairs beautifully with the dense texture of pumpkin bread.
2. Pair Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai with Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls are a rich and indulgent fall treat, with gooey centers and warm cinnamon flavor in every bite. To complement the boldness of this pastry, enjoy it with a cup of our Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai.
This robust loose-leaf chai blend is packed with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, with an added smokiness that makes it unique. The chai’s intense flavor profile stands up to the richness of cinnamon rolls, creating a bold and satisfying pairing. The smokiness enhances the spiciness of the cinnamon and adds a savory depth, while the chai spices elevate the overall experience.
Pro Tip: Try dipping your cinnamon roll into the chai for an extra-spicy, gooey bite!
3. Pair Pear & Ginger Green Tea with Apple Tart
An apple tart combines crisp, caramelized apples with a buttery crust, making it one of fall’s most delightful desserts. Pair it with the refreshing, lightly spiced flavor of our Pear & Ginger Green Tea.
This tea blend offers the sweet, fruity notes of pear with the warmth of ginger and the health benefits of green tea. The ginger provides a spicy contrast to the sweet apples, while the pear adds a soft, juicy sweetness that mirrors the fruit in the tart. Plus, the antioxidant properties of green tea make this pairing not only delicious but also good for you.
Pro Tip: Serve your Pear & Ginger Green Tea iced for a refreshing contrast to the warmth of a freshly baked apple tart, or enjoy it hot for a cozy, comforting duo.
4. Pair Evening Peach Orchard Herbal Tea with Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is rich, buttery, and wonderfully indulgent, but it can be heavy on its own. To balance the richness, pair it with our Evening Peach Orchard Herbal Tea, a caffeine-free blend that’s perfect for winding down after dessert.
This herbal blend features the gentle sweetness of peaches with hints of floral notes, creating a light and refreshing contrast to the dense, caramelized flavor of pecan pie. The subtle peach flavor complements the nuttiness of the pecans, while the lightness of the tea helps cleanse your palate between bites.
Pro Tip: Brew your Evening Peach Orchard Herbal Tea extra strong and serve it with a splash of honey to add a natural sweetness that echoes the caramel notes in the pie.
5. Pair Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea with Pumpkin Scones
Pumpkin scones, with their crumbly texture and spiced flavors, are an autumn classic. Paired with our Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea, this duo becomes a quintessential fall treat. The maple syrup and spices in the tea perfectly complement the warm, spiced flavors in the scones, while the rooibos base adds an earthy, grounding note that ties everything together.
This pairing is ideal for a cozy fall breakfast or afternoon snack, especially when enjoyed with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting on the scone!
Pro Tip: Add a dash of cinnamon to your tea as it steeps to amplify the spice and make the pairing even more autumnal.
