Lala drank Peach Matcha by Matcha Outlet

871 tasting notes

Ok. Something happened here.

I was quite excited to try this me. I purchased it to mix with some other matcha flavours. When I opened the package it smelled like delicious juicy peach. More on the candied side. To me, there is another fruity kind of smell mixed in it that I can’t quite place. Can’t wait to taste it.

I did cold shaken, 1tsp for 8 oz with a tiny bit of white sugar. It was robust flavouring.

Yuck! I am not sure what happened. But the smell does not transmit to the taste. I get a super chemical taste. It is actually burning my soft palate and back of my throat. Not like spicey burn, but like chemical burn. There is no fruity taste at all. Not mich matcha taste either. Super bitter. I wonder if there was some kind of contamination from the time I got the scoop from the bag to my matcha glass. I read a few of the reviews and it sounds like I am not alone on this one. I will try again tomorrow, will try to dilute it with some plain matcha and see what happens…

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.
