I made this one cold shaken again this morning. I used only 1/2 tsp this time and added about a 1/4 tsp white sugar. It was better and worse in some ways as compared to the 1tsp I tried yesterday. The sweetness level was much tastier with the white sugar that with the artificial sweetener I tried yesterday. The sugar brings out a bit more natural orange flavour. It is not so much tart or so much vitamin c tasting. However, with the less matcha there is much less orange taste and much more matcha taste. I am finding that personally, I am not liking the orange mixed with matcha flavour. I preferred it with the larger amount of matcha mix where it was much more dominant orange tasting. Overall both ways have their merits, I will continue to experiment to find out what works for me.
This is You :-D

Bio
I am a lifetime tea lover.
I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.
My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.
I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.
I love iced teas and cold brews.
My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.
I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
