So I keep seeing these referenced in various media formats but I don't recall ever seeing one on the menu where I live (Australia). Maybe they are sold under a different name? Maybe only in some places and I wasn't paying attention? I don't know, but I sure know I've never ordered one.

Am I missing out? What do these taste like? What's the hype all about?

Also- is there a popular food/drink you aren't against trying, that you haven't tried yet?

Right! That sounds good. So it's like a Chai Latte but coffe instead?

Not really, the spices are different. Chai has more bite, pumpkin spice is more of a mellow warmth. It's difficult to describe without using American terms, because it's the spice blend we use for pumpkin pie. If you've ever had one of those, then you'll have a good idea of what to expect out of the drink.

masala blends generally lacks the allspice you'll find in pie spice blends, but adds cardamom and pepper which gives more "bite"

I guess it's pretty similar. Just different spices.
