drank Caramel Matcha by Red Leaf Tea
15779 tasting notes

So I just have to say….Caramel Peach Smoothie for breakfast is awesome! I blended some caramel matcha this morning with some frozen peaches and milk for the perfect morning breakfast. yes, I know i should be eating a real meal but the other half didn’t get up early enough so we were both running super late. Normally we’re pretty good, but this morning we were not doing well.

This smoothy is delicious! It’s the perfect blend of caramel and peach. I can’t get over how much i love this matcha. I’m still not entirely on side with drinking it straight, but baby steps! Looking forward to trying my new flavours asap as well. Mostly so that I can justify ordering more haha

I love tea smoothies!! Can’t wait to try it with matcha though! I am still waiting for my first order to arrive!

If only I had read this before going to bed last night! It’s exactly what I’d be making right now! Tomorrow, I guess.

I wish my order would come already so I can try it!

Still not loving this tea to death…the chocolate is very muted to me, as is the spice. I know they rolled outa spicier blend so I’ll need to give that a try next. That being said, this is a nice tea, but it just doesn’t knock my socks off the way id hoped it would.

Course part of that might just be the no good, very bad day I’m having today. Getting my matcha ready for the morning so I can have a caramel, peach smoothie and tucking myself in to bed for an early night. Things always look better in the morning, and if they don’t it’s always good to have more sleep! :)

Oops another post … I need to learn to read the WHOLE thing then reply to ALL of it as opposed to letting each singular thought I have come into type!
SO ANYWAY … caramel peach huh … now that is intriguing!
I need to get some peach matcha!

Sil

That made me smile Azz…thanks :)

As for the caramel peach…it’s brought to you by a. Can. Of. Peaches. I’m not so fancy as the rest of you to be mixing all of them thar matcha flavours together! Lol sorry..getting a little loopy…but yeah I love peaches…and cherries…and well fruit. Fruit is good…caramel and fruit is better….chocolate and coffee and fruit and caramel is wonderful….

I may have steeped this too long, was a busy day at work butif that’s not the case, this just isn’t appealing to me. Will have to try again tomorrow. Idid notice more of an apple crisp type flavoring though… So that was good.

It’s much better over ice!

Sil

I’m thinking youre right and this just needs to be a cold tea. So far, not loving it hot. That’s ok though…not everything needs to be hot :)

Azzrian

I love Persimmon Tree but I did not care for this one either.

Meowkattack

The iced version really brings out the peachy notes which gives it a bit more character. Isn’t it funny how some teas just don’t do well hot?

drank Laoshan Village Chai by Verdant Tea
15779 tasting notes

Really quick note to make sure i don’t forget about this one. I’m trying to make sure i track what/when i’m drinking things so that when i finally figure out what teas will become staple in my cupboard it’ll be easier.

The mornings are a lot cooler here now, I almost have to wear a jacket in to work. however, trying hard not to do that because by the time i’m going home, its an exercising in having more crap to carry.

But for the cooler mornings, this chai is a wonderful way to start out. Warm, toasty, spicy drink to go with the cool morning.

Kittenna

Yeah, it’s kind of chilly today. Should be nice to run in later (that 7 miles hasn’t yet happened), but rather goosebump-inducing earlier in the day (or last night, when leaving the boy’s house around 11:15pm… brrr!)

drank Blueberry Zabaglione by 52teas
15779 tasting notes

mmmm so this tea… this tea makes up for my sad story with strawberry zabaglione :) in fact.. we were making chili and hamburgers in the kitchen and i opened the tea up…it cut through ALL of the smells and the other half who was in the other room holloared “woah..blueberry”

So that gives you a sense of the smell :) The taste is wonderful…it’s like a mouthful of blueberry goodness.

Azzrian

LOL thats funny because for me this falls short of the Strawberry.

drank Golden Yunnan (organic) by The Tea Haus
15779 tasting notes

This is a really weak tea, but it’s not bad. There was no bitterness in my steep which was nice. Overall it was a subtle malty, creamy kinda of tea.

ashmanra

I have a tea called Royal Yunnan Gold that I would also consider, but good. I think it tastes a bit like sweet potatoes!

Sil

oooh i’ll have to check it out

drank Caramel Cheesecake Black Tea by 52teas
15779 tasting notes

Mmmmmm this is much more caramel and cheesecake than the apricot cheesecake blend I previously picked up from frank. The smalle when you open the bag is amazing….caramel and cheesecakes goodness. Upon brewing the tea, there’s a slight bitterness that I’m not a fan of. I added some rock sugar to this and it turned into an amazing cheesecakes caramel delicious creamy tea of wonder.

drank Date Nut Muffin Rooibos by 52teas

I Feel like this would be a pretty good blend for those who enjoy dates. Frank has done a great job here of blending the flavours. This isn’t my favourite but I’m happy to cross another 52 tea off my list.

drank Sweet Temptation by Tsaa

mmm this IS a delicious tea! I, like Indigobloom, am not a huge fan of vanilla. This however, is a wonderful blend of creamy goodness. I can see where some would say that it tastes like toblerone. This is for sure a tea i’d keep in my cupboard for when i’m craving a creamy delicious bit of wonder. Also, what’s wodnerful is that I can buy it here in toronto! mmmm thank you indigobloom!

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 6 min, 15 sec

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
