I would describe this as being more glimmery than glittery, but it was fun nonetheless. I had this with almond milk, which was quite complementary to the flavor profile. The flavor was mild, but a little creamy and nice. It was desserty, and I’ll admit I was more wowed by the glitter than I expected. I’m not sure it’s great enough to buy it again, but now I sort of wish more of my matchas sparkled.
First tea of 2022! Bringing in the year with some sparkle!
I was expecting this to be tasteless based on Roswell Strange’s review but it was fairly nice and smooth vanilla flavour. Not in your face but definitely flavoured. I added a splash of eggnog to this because why not. The last sip was grassy but it’s matcha so that’s not completely surprising.
The glitter in this is just so much fun though that it could have tasted like crap and I still would have been fine with it.
Y’know, I’m not necessarily usually one to get excited about teas with fun sprinkles in them or that shimmer/glitter when steeped. However, this is one of the most fun teas I’ve gotten to work on developing and I feel like I now have a whole new appreciation for all the other tea companies out there with glittery sprinkle filled teas or the people who’s jaw hits the floor when they see those sparkles…
This tea came out late last week and I’m really excited that I get to talk about it now! It’s just sooooo incredibly fun looking. The visual of the dry matcha powder does have a bit of a sparkle to it but the magic reaaalllyyyy happens when you whisk it up because it is super glittery! If you’re familiar with luster dust or products that use luster dust, it’s the same idea – this is a gold glitter/luster that when stirred in the whisked tea creates these mesmerizing clouds and swirls. It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to physically play with my tea so much.
The flavour is sweet and a little bit creamy vanilla – similar to DT’s Vanilla Matcha but without the distinct taste of the coconut nectar used in that blend. It’s not bad tasting but if I’m being honest I could probably care less about the flavour because all I want to do when I drink this matcha is look at it! I’m glad we went with something sort of neutral though – it really allows the glitter to be the star and it also means you can cut/mix this with other flavoured matchas without drastically affecting their taste. There’s more than enough glitter in this matcha to go around, so I really encourage experimenting with using it alongside other matchas to get a really cool effect on top of the taste of your preference.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
