Sample from kittena or indigbloom. This is a nice. I was hoping for something a little stronger, but while it doesn’t satisfy that need, it still has a really nice blend of spices.

So this is a sample from Azzrian and I have to say, it’s pretty tasty. I totally don’t get pineapple when I drink it but what I do get is a nice tangy refreshing beverage. I think this would be pretty awesome cold so I’m going to use the last of my sample to give that a try tomorrow. This would be a really nice drink on a hot summer day…even hot :) it’s that right balance of sweet and tangy that throws a party in your mouth that your mind can dance to heh thanks Azz!

mmmm so i made this one cold today after last night’s latte. I have to say i think i prefer the latte, though the cold isn’t too shabby. I made this one a little on the strong side so the raspberry’s is a bit more intense and there’s a hint of artificial to it. Still a delicious concoction for this afternoon’s cleaning!

Sip down! Some day ill manage to get through all my little samples heh I still really like this tea and the apple spice flavour it has is really nicely blended.

Ew not a fan of this one. Too much astringency. Left a funny taste in my mouth as well. oh well another tea down off the 12938714876723642374734873248729387429837432877 types out there heh :)

So I’m fairly certain that this was from kittena judging by the tasting notes. While this tea isn’t bad, it goes into my “oolong” bucket. That is to say, the type of tea I just don’t often care for. There’s nothing wrong with this tea but it carries that distinctive taste that says OOOoOoOoOoOooooOoolong! To me ;) which means that’s all that I can focus on. That being said this tea has a beautiful golden colour when steeped and there’s a taste behind the oolong that is quite nice. I’ll withhold rating it though as my dislike of oolongs would bring it down.
Appreciate the chance to taste it though :)

Sp down!

Good thing I have other tea on its way to replace this one. I’ll likely reorder this at some point because its been a good solid black tea that I’ve really enjoyed.

So I have to say i was curious to try this in part because of how much I love the raspberry truffle from Butiki Teas. Matcha is a whole different ballgame but I was curious as to how they’d be different. This matcha smells HEAVENLY! It actually smells the way that raspberry truffles do when you buy them in shops that make them fresh.
I made this one as a hot Latte, though I’m curious as to how it will blend in a smoothie as well. This matcha is fabulous! I’m not sure whether i like this or the black cherry better – cheesecake and caramel are still my favourites. This though, is that raspberry that blends with the chocolate that isn’t the waxy type of chocolate that makes me hate chocolate. I’m really glad that i went with the robust in this matcha as it’s the kind of taste that says HEY! EAT ME! :)

I really do want to thank Red Leaf for their matcha program, even though it’s new incarnation will be a bit different. I don’t think i would have tried as many matchas if they hadn’t had a great program. I probably would have stuck to consistently ordering 2 of the same kind. It’s flavours like this that make me want to keep on trying all of the flavours until i’ve had them all.

Raspberry Truffle you make my heart happy for the delicious taste of raspberry and chocolate together!

Second Last Matcha review for today!
My matcha order was the following:
Size : Small
Matcha Quality: Starter (Basic Grade)
Flavor: Distinctive

I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. I am a big fan of Chai’s but i’m also very particular about the chai’s that I drink. Opening up this package was a weird experience. It first smelled strongly of cinnamon, then the hazelnut took over and then, vick’s vapo rub?!?! Yeah…don’t know what’s up with my nose but that’s what i’m smelling.
As always, I ignored what my nose was telling me and brewed this into a hot latte. I have to say, i don’t think i’d ever get this in a robust flavouring! This balance of spices when blended with the milk are as much as i’d need. I really like this blend of cinnamon and spice. It’s not quite what i expected but it’s still a wonderful warm treat that I will LOVE when winter finally gets here. I can imagine sipping this after cold evening walks in the snow with my other half. I really think he’d enjoy this one as well as it’s not too strange a chai blend and could replace the hot chocolate he usually wants. Another nice matcha from Red Leaf :)

Well it’s been a month since i last tried this one. Bumping the rating up a bit but this apparently is just not a tea for me. I get a lot of bitterness in this regardless of how hot/how long i seem to steep it. Not a lot of strawberry flavour either. I’ll stick with the blueberry version :)
