The Best Loose Leaf Teas to Savor in Fall

Posted by Ricardo R. Matos, Founder of Tea The World on Mar 27th 2025

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, there’s nothing like curling up with a warm cup of tea. At Tea The World, each season is a chance to explore cozy new flavors. Here are our favorite loose leaf teas for fall, plus easy ways to give them an autumn twist.

1. Masala Chai

Black tea with warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves is the ultimate fall drink. Simmer it with milk for a classic chai, or add a spoonful of pumpkin purée and a pinch of nutmeg for a homemade pumpkin spice chai. Try our Masala Chai Loose Leaf Tea.

2. Apple Cinnamon Herbal Tea

Sweet apple and warm cinnamon taste like fall in a cup, and it’s naturally caffeine-free for cozy evenings. Add a cinnamon stick or a slice of fresh apple for a cider-like treat. Try our Apple Cinnamon Herbal Tea.

3. Earl Grey Bravo

Bright bergamot over bold black tea is lovely on a crisp afternoon. Make it a London Fog with steamed milk and a touch of vanilla, or add a pinch of dried lavender for a floral twist. Try Earl Grey Bravo.

4. Irish Breakfast

A bold, malty black tea for chilly mornings, perfect with milk and a drizzle of maple syrup. Try our Irish Breakfast.

5. Rooibos

Naturally caffeine-free and slightly sweet, rooibos pairs beautifully with cinnamon or a splash of milk for a late-night cup. Try Green Rooibos Bonita.

6. Raspberry Hibiscus Oolong

Fruity and vibrant, this oolong brings a bright note to grey fall days, hot or iced. Try Raspberry Hibiscus Oolong.

Easy Fall Add-Ins
