drank Raspberry and Cream Matcha by Matcha Outlet
5272 tasting notes

After the success I had with the Belgium Chocolate matcha this morning, I decided to try some of this in cold milk as well. Though I personally prefer it as a hot latte, it was still creamy and delicious with a hint of raspberry to round it out. Now I am debating about placing an order with Red Leaf Tea since Cookies and Cream (which I really enjoyed) and Bavarian Cream (the one matcha I REALLY want to taste) are both on sale. Alas, I am getting close to maxing out my credit card and so I am wondering if I should take that as a sign that no more tea should be purchased. I have about 8.5 hours to decide. Anyways, thank you Sil for sending me a sample of this to taste.

I have both, if you want me to send you some? I thought I sent you some Bavarian Cream. Mind you, I did get a small package of it, which really is very small.

haha thank you for your offer but you have already sent me so much. I have never tried the Bavarian Cream but it does sound delicious and people seem to review it positively. It is on sale so perhaps I will order it and since I have an address in the US I can send it to, shipping is just under $3. I have bought so much tea this weekend already though and I am wondering if it is just overkill at this point haha.

Lol. We’re all addicted. I’m going to refrain telling you just how much tea I bought this weekend…. ;) If you’re enjoying it though, get it! It’s delicious.

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
