Name of Tea Accessory:
Pumpkin Cranberry Scones
Available From:
Sticky Fingers Bakeries & Whole Foods
Does anything scream the fall season quite like pumpkins and cranberries? I have always been fond of pumpkin breads, muffins and cookies, so I was eager to try pumpkin scones — and these had an added bonus of dried cranberries in the mix!
As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, the Sticky Fingers Bakeries have made these mixes exceptionally easy to prepare. Just add water, stir, and bake. The hardest part about making these scones is waiting for them to come out of the oven – especially since they smelled so delicious as they were baking.
Because of the pumpkin, these scones are a bit sweeter than other scones I’ve tried from Sticky Fingers. The texture is a bit more like a cake than a scone, because they are a lot moister and less crumbly than a typical scone.
The cranberries add a pleasing texture to these scones, much like the texture raisins would add to an oatmeal cookie. And their flavor is slightly tart; a pleasant contrast to the sweet pumpkin.
Sticky Fingers Bakeries describes these scones as
Any easier and they would make themselves.
Sticky Fingers makes enjoying the authentic taste of luscious, home-baked goods as simple as possible – short of dropping by and baking them for you!
NO PRESERVATIVES – NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS – NO TRANS-FATS – NO CHOLESTEROL – NO EGGS
These tasty treats are a perfect accompaniment to an afternoon cup of tea. Because they are sweet and flavorful on their own, I recommend a simple, unflavored black tea. And while the scones are delightfully good on their own, they’re even better with a dollop of clotted cream! What a lovely treat for this fall afternoon.

"Well, as someone who has tasted a lot of chai tea, I can attest that this really is not very similar in taste to Chai. Chai tends to focus on the spices, whereas this tea’s focus is on the orange, with the spices being very gentle and more of an accent to the orange."

"How fun! I love drinking tea so I love that you have a whole blog related to reviewing them. One brand that I really love that I don’t see on your list is the Portsmouth Tea Company. When I lived in Boston I used to buy lots of their teas and they were oh so unique. They had some really great fruity and floral blends. It’s interesting that..."

"Haha!! My co-worker told me that she purchased this tea after having purchased the Matcha Latte at Seattle’s Best, and her and another co-worker purchased this because they believed it was what was served there.

"I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe that this is the concentrate that Seattle’s Best coffee shops use to make their matcha latte. The lattes I’ve enjoyed there were sweet with a definite melon flavor… and I have noticed that they sell other Tazo teas there. If it IS the concentrate that they use… I am..."

"Steph: Thank you for your information about the naranquilla. I didn’t find the flavor to be very tart at all – which is what I would have expected from the combination of lime and rhubarb. Perhaps the maraschino sweetened it up a bit and made it much more peach-like. It reminded me a bit of candied apricots or peaches."
