ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (September 20, 2025) – The Spice & Tea Exchange® is excited to introduce three new flavors for fall – Cherry Pie, Pumpkin Cake, and Old Fashioned. Available starting today, Friday, August 15th, these loose-leaf teas and corresponding scented soy candles are available for a limited time both online and in nearly 100 stores across the country.
The Spice & Tea Exchange® drew inspiration from diner culture, a quintessentially American institution, for its new flavors. Pumpkin Cake Herbal Tea features a base of red rooibos tea complemented by rich pumpkin, sweet carob, and a touch of mango, apple, and coriander for the perfect cup of autumnal coziness. Cherry Pie Herbal Tea is sweet and sassy, with a fruity backdrop of juicy cherry and tangy hibiscus. Crisp apple, zesty rosehip, and a kiss of licorice root take this herbal blend to the next level. Old Fashioned Oolong Tea is an all-occasion indulgence, bringing boozy vibes without the hangover with flavors of citrusy orange peel, dried cherry, and the unmistakable char of an aged whiskey.
These new limited-edition flavors are available as a loose-leaf tea and matching scented candles: Pumpkin Cake Candle, Cherry Pie Candle, and Old Fashioned Candle. The Spice & Tea Exchange®’s teas are perfect for steeping in a warm mug and pair perfectly with sweeteners like Cinnamon Vanilla Sugar, Vanilla Honey, or Organic Barrel-Aged Bourbon Maple Syrup. To bring the warm coziness of fall to your home, The Spice & Tea Exchange® offers a unique range of hand-poured artisanal soy candles infused with fresh tea. The candles are dotted with fresh aromatics and zesty herbs that will bring you straight into the diner. The culinary minds at The Spice & Tea Exchange® have continued the diner theme by creating a new recipe that elevates any brunch: Hot ‘N Spicy Chicken & Waffles, featuring Sweet Onion Sugar, Maple Bourbon Jalapeno Seasoning and their NEW Hot & Spicy Maple Syrup, which is infused with Merquen chile.
“Fall and diners both have those warm, spicy, and sassy elements in common that make them fan favorites,” says Fallon Gonzalez Mayer, Marketing Manager for The Spice & Tea Exchange®. “Here at The Spice & Tea Exchange®, we’re passionate about evoking those comforting memories through the senses. And we just loved the inspiration we got from the image of someone settling in a booth, enjoying a hot mug of tea and that familiar feel of a diner, where everyone is welcome.”
