It's the spices often used in pumpkin pie and other pumpkin dishes. According to the internet, it's a combination of "cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves".

Wait, so it doesn't include pumpkin itself?

They should call it pumpkin pie spice latte.

Pumpkin cream pie spice latte.

That's what it was originally called. I assume the pie was dropped from the name because it sounds healthier that way.

Sounds very much like traditional Christmas cookie spices from my part of the world.
