Soooo i’m a little sad today. I finished off the last of my caramel matcha – the first matcha i ever tried from redleaf! The good news is that I should soon have another version of the caramel to try as long as the canada post cooperates with me. I blended this 2:1 ratio with the cheesecake matcha in my smothies this morning and my god it’s wonderful! I’m already considering ordering another large size of this same caramel in case i don’t like the base of the one coming. I kinda of wonder how long 30g should last if you’re using one teaspoon in a serving. Maybe i’ll be god and track the next one to see how long it takes me to go through :)
Either way, I am 100% satisfied with my matcha adventure with red leaf. Not sure how i’m goin to survive with no matcha for a week on vacation…hmmmm…

It needed a warm tea to end the night. I’ve been reacting strongly to cinnamon lately so I wanted to stay away from any tea with even a bit of it in it. I still enjoy this tea a bunch. It’s a really light, creamy green tea.

Trying this one again as I’m trying to narrow down the teas I want to try or purchase from Della Terra. While I love this one in theory, there’s a bit too much cinnamon. I love the chocolate and the richness of this tea and then the cinnamon hits. Now I really enjoy cinnamon but in this blend it interrupts the great blending that is going on. Still a decent tea but I’d love a version with a bit less cinnamon.

Pretty sure this as a sample from kittena? But might have been indigobloom. Either ay I’m happy to try this one even if it doesn’t knock my socks off like laoshan black does :) I did multiple short steeps and while I can appreciate the variety of flavours that came from the different steeps, it just wasn’t my favourite. It’s a lovely cup of tea, don’t get me wrong, I would recommend this to those who enjoy their oolongs.

So I think I have this figured out. The pear flavouring is too strong for me. I ordered the robust flavouring since that’s worked out well for me with cheesecake and caramel, but I think in the pear it’s too intense. I made a pear smoothie this morning and it was waaaaaay intense. I had to back it off with twice the amount of milk that I usually use and it was then that I got the hint of how amazing this would be with the delicate flavouring. I think this is also because pears in general don’t have a super intense smack you in the face taste. They’re delicious and wonderful but also subtle. Now, all that being said, I’m super happy that I think I’ve figured it out so my next reorder of pear will try the delicate flavouring. :) overall still love this matcha, just not quite as much as the cheesecake and caramel.

This might be my favorite Della terra tea at the moment…. Really nice fall tea for those colder evenings. Enjoying this one tonight while I relax. Rally exhausted from the gym today, think I may be fighting getting sick.

Home from working out and then going to idea and Canadian tire to look for various things as well as find possible ideas for storing tea in our little apartment. Exhausted from all that so I decided to treat myself with a pear latte, thought tossed in a dash of caramel matcha as well. I love how easily I can make a warm tasty beverage that’s has a little more to it than tea. Pear plus the creamy goodness of milk. Mmmmmm

It’s been a pretty Long week for me and my other half. We’re supposed to be getting up and going to the gym but it’s raining outside and he’s still asleep. I don’t get much weekend time with him but because it’s been such a crazy week for us, I decided to let him sleep in, brew myself a cup of tea and take some quiet time to read a book and decide on my tea purchases for this weekend :) listening to the rain and the cars rushing by outside, makes me appreciate the warmth and deliciousness of this tea. Warm malty tones that glide down my throat soothing my throat and making me smile. These are the moments to relish….the here and now because you never know what the next moments will bring. Mmmmm

This tea makes me happy. Sipping it while watching zombies eat people….life is good lol it’s a small bit of sunshine to end a wonderful Friday.

Sooo…. I can’t give this a rating because i pretty much screwed up brewing my sample a la not enough tea for the water i dumped it in. That being said, from what i can tell i probably would have really enjoyed this tea :) soooo yeah. that’s my story. I’m sticking to it. so there. neener neener neener!
