Haha and again I haven’t had this tea in ages. I needed a matcha bowl after lunch and a really hard run this morning – it was way too hot than my body is used to for running haha so I burned a lot of energy in this beautiful weather. I also have to do a bunch of yard work today so I need a bit of an energy boost.

For this being 2 years old, it made a surprisingly wonderful froth in the bowl. I whisked it up straight just with water, no additions. I thought the bitterness at the start was from it being old but I see I noted it in the previous review, so might just be the matcha. It is getting creamier near the end of the bowl :) I have been storing this in the foil bag in the tin tightly that I got it in, and in the fridge, so I’m hoping it’s still pretty fresh! Feels good, tastes good. Now off to my flowerbeds. See previous notes on this tea.

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
