Oh Courtney, oh Courtney, what a monster you have created. If I didn’t still have other matcha to try, I’d be on red leaf’s site right now placing an order for this.
I used this matcha as an opportunity to test out the magic bullet (you know, of the food processing variety, just to be clear) Mr. keychange got me for Christmas. What a handy and powerful little machine it is! Anyway, I used about 8 oz of milk, one matcha scoop of matcha, and set to work. When all was done, I had that familiar hesitation: what if I didn’t like it? what if it tasted like grass and everyone loved matcha except me and my underdeveloped palate? I turned to Mr. Keychange, resolver of many things.
“Here,” I encouraged, thrusting the glass towards him, “why don’t you take the first sip?”
“No way! First of all it smells like that nasty banana medicine from when we were kids, and secondly, this is your deal, not mine.”
“Please? Just let me know if it tastes weird.” I begged.
But he wouldn’t budge. So, and not without a wee bit of trepidation, I took my first sip.
Creamy banana milk. No grass to be found anywhere. No vegetation. No vegetables or foliage or underbrush. Just wonderful banana milk. Courtney is off soaking up the son at the moment, but I do wish I knew what the flavouring level of the matcha is, because hooooly shit it’s amazing.

I have been wavering back and forth on getting this one on my next matcha order!!! Now I am definitely intrigued!!
Oh, if you liked the taste of the banana medicine, and if you like banana flavouring at all, I think this one is a must-try. It’s just that delicious. And no grass!
I am glad Courtney shared this with you. It is certainly a matcha I thought you would enjoy so I am happy you got a chance to taste it.
It’s amazing!
I’m going to do the buy 3 get 1 free deal when I get paid again I think and that one might be in the line up!! It seems like we like some of the same teas, so maybe I will get lucky. I went to thier site to look around again after reading your review and they have caramel matcha on sale for $4.99! I ordered some, I couldn’t help myself! Lol! I love the taste of anything tropical, such as coconut, bananas etc so this one is probably going to be in my big order! I’m glad u posted this tasting note :)
Well, I’m really glad it nudged you in the direction of getting some! I’ve never ordered from RLT before, but think I may follow suit and do the buy three get one free deal also! I can’t wait to try more matcha. The caramel sounds wonderful-I think I have a sample of that to try soon too! and mmm coconut!
I like the coconut mixed with coconut milk! I think it would be even better with some of the banana mixed in! I have placed one order so far and it was just one small bag of coconut matcha, and so far I like it, but I can’t wait to try more variety!
That sounds divine. Can’t wait to place my first order also!
We will have to compare notes!! What else are you thinking about getting?
I totally agree! Hmmm, so I still have a sample of french vanilla, french butter cookie, cheesecake, and caramel to try. Aside from those, I’m thinking of: wintergreen (best mint flavor ever!), strawberries and cream, raspberries and cream, ameretto, orange and vanilla (I’m kind of looking for a creamcicle flavor, although I have my reservations), bubble gum, coconut, maybe pineapple, and cotton candy. haha obviously I’m going to narrow it down, but those are possibilities. How about you?
@Keychange – I’m mailing your matcha samples to you after payday this Thursday (likely on Friday), before then let me know which ones you have tried from what’s in my cupboard :)
roswell, you are an angel in matcha form…or….something. LOL
