Sample sipdown…not sure where this came from or what flavour level it was, nor how old it is.

So keep those things in mind :)

It looked different from the other RL matchas I’ve tried, because it was brown instead if green. Is that because of the cocoa powder or could it be a different type of matcha?

Taking all this into consideration, I did enjoy this matcha. I made a hot latte out of it with normal milk, as per my usual. It was pretty chocolatey, however there was an odd aftertaste which was slightly chemical, but that may have just been the combo of the vegetal matcha taste with chocolate.

Overall, while I had a nice cup, I don’t think I would purchase this one. I’m glad I found an old sample to try because I was considering including this flavour in a future RL purchase.

I will stick to non chocolate flavours for my matcha! Or chocolate plus something else, because I think Tiramisu included chocolate and I enjoyed that one enough to buy.

I think they may be a different base. I ordered this one myself and I’m almost positive it was green haha.

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
