I picked some of this up today (it is the only one of the ice cram shop ones I can do because there’s no stevia or blackberry leaves or anything else I am allergic to or dislike) along with Lemon Pound Cake and the new mw matchas (minus the genmaicha, since I can mix my own at home if I choose to).
In a word, this smells HEAVENLY. If you like sweet stuff. I brewed this up tonight and was surprised that I was able to drink this straight, with no additives. Though, the thought did cross my mind of making this into a latte with a little organic cane sugar for indulgence. But then I think, a green tea latte? Really? But then I think back to the white teas I have latted before, where it works (Buttercream and Gold Rush, both gone now, sadly). And then there is matcha. Soooo..I may give this a latte treatment in the future.
For starers, I really do love a good strawberry green tea. I don’t know what it is about the pairing, but it really suits me somehow. This one is creamy feeling, probably from the your chips, and the papaya adds a sweetness that I think pushes it into that milkshake territory. Under it all, there is the green base, not bitter or astringent, or missing. It is there.
Although this preparation was hot, I would like to see how it is iced. Perhaps with sweetened condensed milk, for a real milkshake feel. I will not cold brew, as I think the yogurt chips will go funny like with Raspberry Pie. I got 20g of this and feel like I will get more. Especially as the weather warms.
I dislike stevia in teas, too. No sugar please – let me add my own if I want lol. I loved the strawberry one too!!!!
