Pumpkin spice gets plenty of attention this time of year, but Autumn Leaves has long been our favorite way to welcome the season. Its naturally rich notes of squash, pumpkin and Yunnan black tea shine in this creamy horchata, finished with a maple cinnamon sugar rim for the perfect touch of fall. Whether you're easing into a cool morning or taking an afternoon break, this refreshing drink is made to satisfy. Developed by Karlee Flores of Olive & Artisan.
