I have seen sooo many “Sparkling Teas” this summer, but I think this is the first Sparkling Matcha!? There are two other in the line up as well as a matcha latte, and I got a can of each one because I just have this compulsive need to try all the things…
I do typically have lower expectations for RTD beverages because I understand that there are limitations in the flavour you can deliver given the format and that convenience/lack of needing to prep the drink is worth some trade off of flavour versus making a fresh version. However, this was very off tasting to me. The matcha was kind of swampy and unappetizing tasting, with a bitter grassy note and almost a slimy quality that left a light film on my tongue. Conversly, the peach was CRAZY sweet and artificial and those two very different profiles were cacophonous with one another.
Holding my breath for the rest of the line up, now…
