I had no sooner packaged the last of my cheesecake matcha up to send off to Roswell Strange, that I got in matcha samples from Sil and it reawakened the joy of matcha for me. I am getting so impatient for my order to come in!

In my surprise package from MirandaGou yesterday this was also included, so thank goodness I have a few servings to get me through the next week until Red Leaf arrives.

I also needed a bit of a caffeine jolt, because I’m feeling overwhelmed. This seems to be a recurring theme this term. I’m not a huge fan.

Haha that is how I felt about my matcha order. I have soooo much matcha and yet I am still planning my next one (probably because I am going through Caramel Popcorn matcha withdrawal :P)

Courtney

Right?! I didn’t think I would survive. I was hoarding my last serving of Bananas & Cream for a rough day between now and when it arrives haha! Thank goodness I got that surprise package with a bit of Cheesecake.

Courtney

I’ve added Caramel Popcorn to my wishlist, but I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to order it yet. How much of the popcorn do you get from it? Or is it more similar to the caramel matcha?

VariaTEA

I had robust caramel matcha and what I believe was delicate caramel popcorn and honestly, I got more caramel from the latter. It also has a nice butteryness. I think it captures the popcorn flavor well. Next order I make will definitely have a large package of it.

Actually, talking about order, my friend said she would happily do a group order with you, me, and Roswell Strange :P.

Courtney

Yay! Massive group order for the win!

Bio

A few of my favourite things: animals, the ocean, science (I’m currently doing my MSc in biology), travel, all things summer, and of course – tea!

I love chatting biology, so feel free to ask me about what I study or follow my instagram @biologistcourtney!

I love black teas and this is what I’m usually drinking. I pretty well always drink my tea without anything added.

I’m also fond of herbals, oolongs, and subtly flavoured greens. Whites are also enjoyable, and I’m always looking for a replacement for my all-time favourite Butiki’s White Rhino.

Pu’erhs, rooibos (specifically red, I’m more open to green), honeybush, and matés are not my favourite. I tend to avoid them altogether unless others find them so amazing they shouldn’t be missed.

Likes:
Creaminess, toffee, cacao (true dark chocolate flavour), coconut (true coconut flavour), and rhubarb. I’m open to flavoured teas but they can’t be cloying or fake/candy like.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, bergamot, flowers (rose and jasmine), hibiscus is hit and miss.
