44 Tasting Notes
Hum. Nope. Way too artificial for my taste. I made me think I was drinking orange flavoured water with artificial sweetener (such as spenda) . Maybe I oversteeped it, but all the same, I don’t think I would like it better weaker. This is really disappointing because the dry leaves smelled soooooo good!
Flavors: Orange, Sweet
This one was weird! I can’t decide weither I like it or not. What I can say, however, is that I liked the second steep better than the first one. I liked the taste of the straight oolong, but soon I became overwhelmed by the buttery sweetness of ginseng. It lasted very long after swallowing and it kind of weirded me out a bit. The second steep was less sweet and I could taste more of the straight oolong, which was great.
Flavors: Butter, Sweet
Hum. I don’t really know what to make of this tea. I was really exited when David’sTea released a passionfruit tea, but this one tastes too artificial and sweetened. I was hoping the green base would be stronger. Drinking it without knowing, I would think it is a fruit infusion and not a flavoured green tea. It is okay iced for summer, but I would not repurchase.
Once, when it was my first matcha, I really enjoyed it. However, I’ve now had several others, of higher quality and I like this one the least. The powder is a little yellowish and the taste is not as smooth as my other matchas. It is less grassy and a lot more bitter. I would use this one for baking or blending in smoothies, but not really for sipping.
