Fall Things: Davids Tea

Fall is upon us! Pumpkin everything is everywhere and Halloween decorations are popping up. I recently received an email from Davids Tea about their new collection and I'm in LOVE. 

Fall Teas

The weather changed very quickly here. One day it was summer and the next day we had to dig out our pants because the weather had turned cool. I'm not going to lie, I'm loving it. September is the beginning of my favourite seasons - fall through Christmas. 

The evenings and nights are quite cold already. I'm finding myself pulling out hoodies to wear on the couch and warmer flannel pajamas for bedtime. With cool evenings comes hot drinks while I watch TV or work on the computer. Since I'm no longer pregnant and avoiding herbal teas, I've been drinking through my tea collection. I thought I'd share my favourite hot teas to drink during the cooler months.

Fall is Coming

Yesterday I received one of my favourite yearly emails - the Davids Tea Fall Collection! This is easily my favourite collection they have ever done, from the tea flavours to the packaging to the mug designs.


Woodland Bear seems to be the theme of the packaging and mug designs and I'm loving it all. The urge to buy this travel mug is strong and I might have to add a new mug to my already overflowing collection.

The tea flavours sound amazing too:
- Pumpkin Chai
- Blueberry Muffin
- Carrot Cupcake
- Pom Cider
- Nutty Granola Crunch

Pumpkin Chai comes out every year at Davids Tea and it's by far one of my favourite teas. I drink it all year round because I buy enough at the end of winter to get me through until it's out again. But I'm so curious to try the Carrot Cupcake and Pom Cider. They sound right up my alley.

Once I try some of the new teas I'll be sure to report back on how they are!

My Life In Photos

Looking back at photos, October was definitely the month of Pumpkin...

Pumpkin milkshakes, pie, tea, Peeps, ale... everything pumpkin!


 
 


 
I pulled out my Pac-Man leggings for Northern Game Expo, which I was selling at, and my Daryl Dixon shirt for The Walking Dead premiere.



I finally got my hands on the cutest Itty Bitty out there! How adorable is this little Chewbacca?!


We saw the last of Fall in October. The trees are completely bare now and the leaves have been raked up. I did enjoy all the gorgeous colours on the trees while it lasted.



How's Fall been treating you?

Fall Flavours

North America is all about pumpkin right now - the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks is out and all the limited time pumpkin-flavoured items are in stores. Tim Horton's has a specialty Fall menu, and McDonald's has their own Pumpkin Spice Latte available (which I lived on all Fan Expo weekend). 

I really do love pumpkin and make a few recipes every Fall with pumpkin, but I cannot deny my love of apples too. Adam's a big fan of all baked goods with apples so I've been brainstorming some apple recipes to make. We also grew zucchini for the first time this Summer and I have that to use up as well. So zucchini is becoming my early Fall ingredient as I've already been making things with it. 

These are a few recipes I've been eyeing up to try soon:







Those apple cider floats are for sure going to happen because I have such a weakness for apple cider. And I want to add maple syrup to all my recipes now!

What are your Fall go-to recipes?
