Pumpkin Chai

Karen Hilliard Art | Pumpkins 2024 Series Number 1

In the previous weekend blog I wrote about Sheffield Spice and Tea Company here in Henderson, Nevada. Realizing later that I mentioned the tea I chose to keep me motivated during the long nights and early mornings, yet, I did not elaborate on it. Here is my review on their “Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Chai” and yes, I did link it. Their tea can also be purchased online as well as their spices. This tea has many ingredients. Here are some…Black tea, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nutmeg…and the list goes on. The owner of the shop adds cute little sweeteners with Halloween shapes also. Lately I have been drinking this tea to stay up at night so the Tiny Painting series would be displayed in my Newsletter. This tea has a Medium Caffeine content so if you need to sleep, you should probably drink it in the morning or before 1pm. It does keep me awake so I can finish my projects and meet my goals. I love that it only needs to steep for five to ten minutes so I can start working quickly after it is done. Adding a dash of milk to it helps it cool off and adds to the flavors. 

Sipping this tea while I paint really heightens all of my senses. The aroma of spices fill my nasal cavity and bring me to a new place of inspiration. The Ginger, Nutmeg, and Clove make me want to eat pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie, and cozy up in Fall attire. As I drink this magical tea I drift in and out with thoughts of pumpkins, the pumpkin patch, and happy memories with my family around this time of year. The tea is nice and smooth and each spice brings its own flavor of magic. This tea definitely puts me in the mood and mindset for Fall and gave me the drive I needed to start my Pumpkins 2024 Tiny Painting Series. Personally, I love black tea because it reminds me of my trips abroad. This tea makes me want to travel in the Fall Season to a place where leaves change color on the trees. Until then, I am fortunate to have Gilcrease Orchard and their lovely Pumpkin Patch with hayrides, fields of pumpkins, and many photo opportunities to spark my artistic mind. Now, making this tea beforehand and bringing it to the Pumpkin Patch, well, that is just the perfect combination for happiness. I hope this review helped or inspired you. Wishing you all a lovely week ahead and wondering how your weekends went? Thank you for reading, connecting, and being here. You are appreciated!
