drank Mandarin Matcha by Matcha Outlet
1018 tasting notes

Sil matcha: one serving in a big glass of cold almond milk. It’s a bit like an orange creamsicle with a bit of matcha, which is unfortunately the same flavour as my childhood fluoride treatment (minus the matcha). I’d love to know how people who don’t associate this with an artificial chemical cleaner feel about it because I’m 100% biased.

This might be something that mandarin and orange creamsicle lovers want to check out.. It might be good with some ice cream too.

I haven’t tried this yet but the specific orange scent here reminds me of this gritty orange industrial-strength handsoap my dad used to have for work.

it’s mandarin to me..not orange…but then i haven’t tried orange from red leaf… if it’s similar in flavour profile i might consider it for the orange creamiscle factor..

OMGsrsly

This sounds like it will get some seriously mixed reviews. Here’s hoping it’s more like orange julius to me!

Oh ick – I remember the flavoured fluoride and I don’t think I could stomach a tea that reminded me of it! The creamsicle part sounds interesting though!

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

Subjective Rating System 3.0:

90-100: My absolute favourite tea. I’ll impulsively buy in large quantities and hoard like a dragon.

85-89: A favourite tea. I’ll try to keep this one around when it’s practical.

76-84: A good tea, but not one I’m likely to order again.

70-75: Alright, but I may have a few problems with quality, consistency, ingredient chemistry and/or personal preferences.

50-69: Average to mediocre cup.

11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea. I don’t give a lot of these ratings out, since I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me.

1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, the unholy abomination that is a chimera. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
