In honor of Deb’s grandma, I’ve been reaching for some Dessert by Deb blends this week. I really enjoy this one, especially as a latte. Plus I happen to have whipped cream, so I’ve added that to the mug a few times for some serious indulgence. It’s just sweet and lime-tart and hits that perfect key lime pie-filling note. Plus the coconut gives it a nice creaminess even before I pile on the add-ins like it’s a coffee shop specialty drink. I don’t know that I’m really getting a graham cracker/pie crust/pastry element but that’s nit-picking; I didn’t even notice it was missing until I really thought about it because I was so busy enjoying the last of this winning score from the TTB. Alas, it’s a sipdown. Counting this towards ashmanra’s sipdown challenge as a tea swap tea.

Preparation: Western with oatly
Tasting Note: I wanted to try this one as a latte as Deb notes her preferred brewing method for some of her teas. The first time around, I had it straight and I thought it was really nice like that.

So looking at the dry leaf of my current blend, the matcha looks a little dull (I may have waited on opening this bag a little long- about 4 months). The are slices of lime in the blend so that bodes well for the lime flavor. Coconut chips are large which I like.

Brewed as a latte. Matcha and sencha gives the tea a little grassy flavor. The lime is very much present as a flavor but I think that it is the lime flavoring that is giving it that sweet sort of taste as opposed to a pithy lime bitterness. The coconut feels a little lost this way as it competes with the oatly. I don’t know if I am getting key lime pie from this blend as there isn’t really a nutty pie crust element that I am getting with these flavors. I am definitely getting like a matcha key lime ice cream or yogurt though . I definitely prefer this tea brewed with out the oatly though.

This one reminded me more of some sort of lime Jello salad, the kind with Cool Whip added ha ha. Maybe toasted rice would’ve added that pastry element?

Yeah, the lime is definitely more of a jello lime. Oo, toasted rice would’ve helped get the pastry element.

A key lime pie genmaicha is sounding very interesting to me… :D

Truthfully I didn’t pay a ton of attention to this cup as I drank it because I was also playing a video game at the same time, but I remember thinking that I was yet again really impressed with another of Deb’s matcha dusted teas – they seem to catch me off guard each time I try them. In this case, it was the combination of the light and vegetal matcha with a very bright pop of lime. I liked the lime flavour a lot, though the overall cup was pretty light/mild. Is this the first time Deb has worked with lime!? I’m not sure.

Will have to try again with more attention given, and also think more about the “pie” aspect and if I feel like it’s been captured well in addition to just the taste of the lime…

I don’t usually care for Deb’s matcha green teas, but the lime really made this one for me.

Sipdown! (13 | 465)

I’m not generally the biggest fan of Deb’s matcha green teas, but I quite enjoyed this one. It has a fluffy lime marshmallow sort of flavor, it reminds me of those multicolored fruit-flavored mini marshmallows – the lime ones, of course. It’s a lime Jell-O sort of lime flavor with a nice creaminess to it.

Lime marshmallow tea! Not a flavor I can see myself craving though, so not a likely reorder for me. But fun to try!

I love lime teas, generally, but this one didn’t quite hit the spot. Maybe the matcha? I’m not entirely sure. Still did enjoy it, though, but not as much as I’ve enjoyed fluffy lime tea flavours in the past.

Today’s round in the tea tournament is this tea, Matcha Key Lime Pie vs Lemonberry Whip by 52 Teas aka Battle of the Citrus Dessert Teas. Check out the tasting note for Lemonberry Whip here: https://steepster.com/rachel12610/posts/423052

I purposely skipped over this battle yesterday so that this tea could do double duty and be both my tournament tea and my #MatchaMonday drink. And keeping on trend with my own Matcha Monday tradition, this got paired with this week’s read: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. Check out the pic of that here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVZeBhLZSJ/?utm_medium=copy_link

This tea is nicer than I expected. Sometimes I get nervous with matcha blends but this is both dessert-like without being overly sweet. I get more lime in the scent than the flavor but its there. What took me by surprise is the pie crust element that seems to be coming through. I think it is from the coconut which is buttery and creamy and thus helping convey both the crust and the filling simultaneously. It’s quite nice actually.

Actually both this tea and Lemonberry Whip are quite evenly matched – sweet but not overly so. Still feel like you are enjoying dessert. Bright citrus notes in both. I find there is a slightly umami/grassiness from the matcha that isn’t really my preference and for that reason, Lemonberry Whip just pushed ahead. Both are good options though.
