Red Leaf arrived! YES. I absolutely love the resealable bags.

After a 12 hour day at school, I finally made it home, ready to fall asleep standing up, and this was waiting for me. I pulled myself together enough to choose this one to put in a mason jar and shake up with milk.

I haven’t had super fresh matcha in a long time, and the green colour was so vibrant. This one has the scent of chocolate that I know from somewhere, but I can’t pinpoint it. It’s pretty tasty in cold shaken milk, but it may be better hot. Or in a smoothie. So many choices. The memory of that chocolate taste is right at the edge of my mind. Gah. My brain is exhausted, but hopefully it will come to me.

Sil

they finally have resealable bags?!

Courtney

Yes! I was thrilled. My last order was the same as the Peanut Butter you sent me. But now they are pretty and white and resealable.

VariaTEA

White? Mine are resealable but gold on one side and clear on the other.

Courtney

For a second there I thought I was so tired I actually mistook the colour of the bags. I took a photo for proof. :P

VariaTEA

Hahaha. Those are pretty nice. I far prefer the bags that are totally light tight versus the ones that have a window.

Courtney

These ones are fully white (the photo looks grey), back and front.

OMGsrsly

Nice! I like your flavour choices, too. :)

Fjellrev

Love the new bags!

Stephanie

You did delicate flavor level right? How is the chocolatey level of this one then? Just curious. Congrats on your kickass pile o’ matcha :D

Courtney

Yep, delicate. The chocolate scent is stronger than the taste. I want to try it hot before fully deciding though.

Stephanie

I understand :)

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.
