Ok, it’s too late to be drinking matcha, but I’m doing it anyway. I was just going to backlog this one from memory, but that doesn’t seem right. So, it’s 8pm and I’m having a cup of Cheesecake matcha. Poor me. lol
I had to smell the powder a few times before I decided that it really does have a cheesy smell. Not a yucky, blue cheese type smell, but a good, creamy cheese smell.
I threw a tsp in the blender with 3/4 C of vanilla almond milk, which has become my preferred way to drink flavoured matcha. I actually can’t picture drinking this one hot, although I’m sure a lot of people like it that way. Cold, it’s really good.
I got the classic matcha with robust flavouring at http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/cheesecake-matcha.html. As I’ve said in my other reviews, I’m glad that I got the stronger flavouring. I’m mainly using the matcha mixed with other things, so I think a subtler flavour would get lost.
Drinking it, it’s very smooth and creamy. I don’t get a strong cheese taste (which is a good thing!). It’s a very nice dessert matcha. If it didn’t have caffeine in it, I could see drinking it after supper instead of dessert. As it is, I’ll just have to have it as part of my breakfast. Again, poor me.
