DAVIDsTEA Matcha Advent Calendar – Day 21
This smelled lovely when I pulled it out of its drawer this morning. Very candylike but I’m okay with candylike strawberry so was excited to try it. Prepared with 8 ounces of warm water and 4 ounces of warm milk.
Prepared this way, it tastes pretty much exactly like strawberry Pocky… Very creamy and decadent artificial candy strawberry. The flavoring rather overpowers the matcha here, which I can perhaps taste a hint of if I cross my eyes and concentrate. There is a touch of bitterness that pops up at the end of the sip.
I’m enjoying this cuppa this morning as a sort of “guilty pleasure” matcha due to it reminding me of Japanese strawberry sweets. :)
As for the jam, today’s selection is White Nectarine-Peach Spread. To be honest, I had no idea white nectarines were even a thing… But I love stonefruits, so this sounds delish to me! Yum, it has such a fresh nectarine and peach flavor. I will say there is little-to-no tartness here, and I feel like a little bit would really help punch up the crisp stonefruit flavors. Even so, this is scrumptious for an apricot jam lover like myself!

Have you ever gotten to sample white peaches? Hard to find in my part of the world, but firmer and milder than regular “squooshy” peaches.
Yes, I have tried white peaches! I remember them being more delicate, but not much else. :P
White nectarines taste like candy to me, so delicate and sweet.
I bet a Strawberry Pocky flavored matcha would make a delicious latte. Perhaps blending this with a straight matcha would balance out the flavoring.
