Sipdown!! (128)
Thank you Cavocorax for sharing this tea. It is certainly very interesting. It smells sweet so I was not expecting the little kick of spiciness I got in my first sip. However, when I took a second to think about it, “fireside” should probably have given that away. I don’t mind spice but I don’t particularly enjoy drinking it tbh so this tea is just not for me. It was fun to try though.
Preparation
Roswell Strange, you sent me SOO much of this tea! I made a mason jar full and I don’t even think I made a dent in the stash. On the plus side though, I am actually getting ice wine today which is making for a very light and fruity cup. It is quite enjoyable :)

Thank you Roswell Stange! I am always happy to try a genmaicha and this one is not bad. I am not running to stock up on it but it is easily accessible and if I am dying for a straight genmaicha, this is certainly not a bad option to have. The base is present and just a touch vegetal but mostly this is toasty rice. Yum!
Preparation
Thank you Sil! I am always quite impressed when you can taste something other than Frank’s black base and you certainly can with this tea. There is a hint of dark chocolate and caramel but what I really taste is the cashews…nutty, delicious cashews. I am glad I got to try this one, though I don’t think I would get more in the future as there are other teas I would reach for first.
Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Nuts
Preparation
I got a surprise package today from Sil. Surprise because (1) I did not know she sent me something (though she did hint at it) and (2) because I did not know I could receive mail on Sundays. Anyways, thank you Sil for the great surprise and the generous sample of this matcha (though most will be passed along to Roswell Strange as per your intentions).
This is yet another matcha I have wanted to try for a while. Unfortunately, the person I split orders with does not like banana or cherry so I was unable to order any of those flavors thus I am grateful for the opportunity to try this one. I think it is good but I am not sure it would be a restock or not. I get the creaminess first but there is definitely banana hiding under all the creaminess. It is quite delicious, there are just so many other matchas I want to try that I am not sure this would make the cut.
