I really like this tea. You get a nice black tea base, but you get this sweet creaminess. I love that you can actually taste the strawberry’s. It reminds me a lot of DT strawberry shortcake. This is very yummy :)

I think this is my first white tea ever! I liked this tea quite a bit, I love the creaminess it has. Its sweet but not overly sweet. Very nice :)

Yum watermelon! When I opended the package of this all I could think was summer! And why didnt I get this before the summer eneded. You get this lucious sweet smell that just fills my house, its smells like joly ranchers! Everytime I open the container everyone in the house knows exactly what I’m doing. So what I got was Size: Small (30 grams), Quality: Basic Grade, Flavor: Delicate. I had to try this cold first. So I made myself a Iced latte, I can taste the earthiness of the matcha but there if this sweet juicy watermelon taste that is mouth watering. I have to say out of all the matchas I’ve tried so far, this is the one that I taste the matcha the most. I did get it in delicate I bet this would be amazing in robust!

I made my latte by adding 1 tsp of my watermelon matcha and put it through my sifter. Added 2 oz of hot water and started whisking away until its all was blended. Added ice to my glass, then mixed about half a cup of milk into my bowl with the matcha. After everything was mixed together I poured it into my glass with the ice. I did add a bit of sweetener to bring out more of the watermelon sweetness. Yum this is the perfect drink for a nice summer day. I only wish watermelons where still in season, after reading reviews of people putting in watermelon chunks I want to try it.

Its lucious, its sweet, its earthy, its great. Alot of the times with drinks that have watermelon flavor they just dont taste like watermelon at all. This is a very authentic watermelon flavor to me. Its crazy who would have thought watermelon and matcha would go together, but it does and its delicious. It amazes me how Red Leaf gets there flavors so spot on. Here is the link if anyone else wants to try this delicious flavor http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/watermelon-matcha.html

I don’t know if I got a bad batch of this but the first time I drank it it was a little spicy and creamy. The second and third time it tasted musty, it just didn’t taste right. It even smells musty. So I am lowering my rating for this. I ordered it online before it came out again in the stores, so maybe they gave me a old batch.

So this is my second matcha today. I probly wont sleep now, oh well totally worth it.

I am a lover of all things chocoalte. Now Ive never had a truffle so I guess I can’t say I’m a chocolate master, but when I saw this I thought of those little chocoalte boxes you get that always have the chocolates with the raspberry fillings. So I might not be the best at figuring out if this is a real authentic raspberry chocoalte truffle flavor. So this is my first raspberry flavor and first chocolate flavor from Red Leaf so I’m quite excited.

Now alot of choclate flavored drinks I’ve tried either taste way too overpowering or have this weird fake choclate taaste. So I was a little hesitent when I was thinking of purchasing this. But everything I’ve had from Red Leaf has been great, so I finally gave in and got it. The smell when you open the bag is just amazing. Who doesnt like the smell of choclate and raspberrys. So what I got was Size: Small (30 grams), Quality: Basic Grade, Flavor: Delicate. Ive been making all my matchas cold, so I decided to do this one cold aswell. So I made an Iced Latte with milk, and oh my gosh. Its sweet from the raspberrys and the chocolate, but its not overpowering with the choclate, I get the matcha but its not the primary flavor I get. Its got a nice creamy flavor to it. Guh its so good!

I bet this would be amazing as a hot latte. Even just thinking about it makes my mouth water, Raspberry Truffle Latte just sounds delicious. That is going to be my next drink with this. I usually add sugar with my lattes but this one didnt need it at all. Now I cant wait until tomorrow to try this as a hot latte, I’ve limited myself to 2 matcha a day so I dont drink it too fast. Come on tomorrow! For all you choclate lovers who want it, I got it here http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/raspberry-truffle-matcha.html

So its now officially fall, and when I think of fall I think of the beautiful senery from the autum leaves, halloween ( which is my favorite holiday), dressing up, pumpkin carvings and pumpkin pie of course.

My all time favorite fall drink is a pumpkin spice latte from starbucks, but its so expensive. So when I saw this i was like hummm I think I found a sustitute. I absolutly love pumpkin pie, its the one thing I will eat even though I know I will be feeling awful after (gluten allergie). I knew I needed to try this right away. So I finally got my package which took about 6 days to arrive. And as soon as I opened the package the most amazing sweet and spicy pie smell came out and filled the room. My friend came in and said it smelt like fall in my house, its smelt that amazing. I swear if I closed my eyes and smelt it I would think it was pie and not matcha.

So what I got was Size: Small (30 grams), Quality: Basic Grade, Flavor: Delicate. Which can be bought here http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/pumpkin-pie-matcha.html. So I made this into a hot latte by sifting 1 tsp of the matcha into a bowl and added 2oz of water and whisking away, I reall suck at getting a foam. And I added my matcha mixture to 6oz of steaped milk and viola Pumpkin Pie Latte. Okay so I couldn’t wait for it to cool down so I sipped it piping hot…. not the best idea, all I can taste is cloves. So wait made myself wait a bit so it would cool down, second sip, a little better added a half a teaspoon of sweeter. Amazing! Now I do get a lot more clove then anything else in this, but there is a pie sweetness in it.

Now don’t get me wrong this isn’t Starbucks but its just as good and easier on my pocket and I bet alot less sugar. I can see this becoming my new mid day drink. Its so weird you can taste everything that is in a pumpkin pie in a liquid that is green. Its kinda a mind trick to me. You look at this green liquid and think that isnt going to taste anything like pumpkin pie but it totally does. And you can still taste that matcha, its not BAM matcha but its there. Im definitly going to have to order a big order of this. So delicious! This is the perfect fall drink. Im going to have to make lattes for everyone at thanksgiving so they can all try this.

Just made a hot latte out of this. Gosh its so good! I think I like this better hot. The sweetness really comes out more I find when its hot.

So Red Leaf Tea posted that they were coming out with a whole bunch of new flavors. So everyone got to vote for which new matcha flavor would be first to come out and go on sale. The winner was Cookies and Cream. So when I saw this i was so excited and just had to pick some up to try for myself. How can anyone say no to cookies and cream. So this is the second matcha ive ever tried.

Now a little information before i review this. About 2 years ago I found out that I have a gluten allergie, so I cant eat cookies at all. So when I saw this flavor, I knew I needed it. I miss cookies so much! And gluten free cookies dont even begin to compare to regular cookies. I love when I see things like this, cause I can feel like I’m cheating on the no gluten diet and not get sick :)

So what I ordered was… Size: Small (30 grams), Quality: Basic Grade, Flavor: Delicate. This is where you can get it http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/cookies-and-cream-matcha.html . So this time I thoguht I’d try it as a iced latte first ( thanks to Azzrian for giving me her recipe, I tweeked it about but mostly its her recipe). So what I did was took 1 tsp of my cookies and cream matcha and put it through my sifter. Added 2 oz of hot water and started whisking away until its all was blended. Added ice to my glass, then mixed about half a cup of milk into my bowl with the matcha. After everything was mixed together I poured it into my glass with the ice. Mixed once more a viola! Iced Cookies and Cream latte. Its tastes as great as it sounds. I found it a little bit bitter so I added half a packet of splenda to see if that would help and yum! Yup defitly not as bitter now. I wouldnt say it taste exactly like cookies , but hey cookies dont have matcha in it, so for a matcha flavor definitly a great flavor! Its got a nice sweet creamy flavor. I find with this one I dont taste the matcha as strongly as I do in the caramel matcha, but im not complaining at all both are amazingly delicious. But I think I prefer this one over the caramel one.

For all you gluten allergie or sensitivite people, this didnt make me sick at all. On the ingredients list it just says cookies and cream flavor, so I wasnt to sure if any of the ingredients would have gluten in it. But so far so good.

Woke up this morning feeling absolutely awful. I’ve got my first cold of the season. And all I could think is I need this tea. The peppermint helps alot with the soar throat and the sweetness after is just right. This is the perfect drink when you have a cold tea.
