VariaTEA drank Belgium Chocolate Matcha by Matcha Outlet

5272 tasting notes

Another from Cavocorax and I am definitely glad I started with the Cookies and Cream because this was a bit of a let down. I had been thinking about it since I made my last cup of matcha – I figured since all the other flavors have been spot on, this would be a cup of creamy chocolate deliciousness.

Alas, I could not find any chocolate at all. This was a sweet and tasty matcha but I would never in a million years have guessed it was chocolate. I am still enjoying the cup but it was not what I was expecting. Thank you Cavocorax!

i only really like this one as an add in to other concoctions…otherwise there’s something about the taste i’m not fond of

I didn’t think it tasted bad, I just didn’t think it tasted like chocolate either which was quite the disappointment. In my mind I would be having a delicious hot chocolate-esque latte and instead I just got sweet matcha. Not bad, but also not what I was looking for – guess I should have just gone with Cocoa Canela.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
