Thanks to Red Leaf for the monthly free sample! I’m thinking that I’m just not a fan of matcha. I’ve had matcha before, prepped hot and cold, with not so much success. Today, I took a jar and shook up some of this matcha with cold milk. I can kind of tell there is a cheesecake flavor there because it tastes more dairy than just regular milk. I just can’t get over the seaweed-y taste from the matcha base. It’s weird because I like “green tea” flavored foods that are essentially flavored with matcha. I just don’t like the tea itself I guess. It’s a real bummer because I always see these fun flavored matcha reviews and get really excited about it. Oh well, another lesson learned on this great tea journey of mine.

Have you tried caramel yet? That’s probably the best one to start with, if you’re not a fan of matcha taste. Or, order it with, “There’s matcha in here?” flavoring, which may help. I found the cheesecake I had just meh, and I think I needed it with a much stronger flavor level, plus a touch of added sweetener.
I tried the caramel matchaccino and did not care for it either. I have more of the cheesecake left, though, so maybe next time I will try adding sweetener. What do you usually add?
I usually add a little sweetener. I use either Stevia, Splenda, or I have a nice liquid vanilla/stevia blend I got at the health food store.
