780 Tasting Notes
Gosh my stash is a bit old, Actually it’s from when they switched from Red Leaf Tea to Matcha Outlet but I prefer to go back and call it Red Leaf Tea because I think it was better as a company before the switch. You definitely had a lot of flavours to choose from and I miss that.
Flavors: Caramel
Preparation
Okay this is super tasty. I’m getting better at making matcha or at least I like to think so! I still use a mechanical whisk though so not very traditional but dang if it doesn’t froth nicely. I decided to turn it into a latte since it’s my first time with this matcha. Super tasty and definitely recommend it!
Flavors: Green Beans, Vegetal
Preparation
Oh yes, as soon as I opened the package I was hit with a lovely rich smoky smell. Once brewed the taste was equally smoky. It put me in the mood of campfires and smoky bbq meat. I love smoked meat, and smoked cheese so it’s no wonder I love a good smoky tea!
Flavors: Smoked
Preparation
Somebody else mentioned cheese pairings today. LS and a good, grilled cheddar cheese on rye …. is making me hungry!
@gmathis I buy a a double smoked cheddar cheese from Costco that’s really yummy.
I’m in the wrong part of the world … I have never been in a Costco before! However, we’re a little weird … when we do go on vacation (rarely), we make it a point to stop in unfamiliar grocery stores to see how other people shop!
@gmathis Costco is basically Sam’s Club if you’ve ever been to one of those. It’s a warehouse style store where things are sold in bulk like sizes. It requires a membership to get in, but it’s usually worth it.
Yep. We’re in Sam’s territory—Walmart world HQ is in Bentonville, Arkansas—about an hour from my front door.
I was watching the Thai BL show Ingredients when the guy made a matcha latte, it reminded me that I haven’t had matcha in quite some time, so I went to make my own latte though not as good as looking as his because I can’t do latte art. Still I’m enjoying my latte but then I went on to the website to order more and it looks like they don’t make the flavours anymore. Sigh, I guess I need to find a new matcha place. I don’t like DT matcha though because their blends are much too sweet for me.
Flavors: Vanilla
Preparation
I got my first dose of the Covid 19 vaccine yesterday! So happy to get started on immunity. Today I’m still a bit tired, with a slight headache. It seemed like a perfect time to grab this tea as it’s my new favourite. Maybe I’ll go for the smoky LS next from Teavivre.
Flavors: Lemon, Pineapple
Preparation
Yes I’m having another cup of this delightful lemon and pineapple brew. It’s great right after a large yummy Chinese food order that was honestly the best Chinese I’ve ever had.
Flavors: Lemon, Pineapple
Preparation
There’s just something about a tea when you know Sir Patrick Stewart wanted it on Star Trek instead of Earl Grey that adds an extra bit of Geekiness to the whole affair. Seriously this is some great tea.
Preparation
I just ordered some of this one! Glad to hear it’s so beloved. :)
I loooooooove this tea.
To be fair, I would guess he meant the more common smoked version. ;)
I have the smoked version as well but I can only drink one tea at a time. I ordered a bunch from Teavivre so it’s only a matter of time before I get to them all.
I know just what you mean! I’m still working through some Teavivre samples that I ordered years ago… XD
This is a really nice Yerba Mate tea. It’s definitely got a tropical vibe going from the taste. I’m tasting the pineapple but it’s playing really nice with the lemon. I can’t quite taste the mate but I’ve never had straight mate so that’s on me. I’m also not as good at picking out flavours as others in Steepster so thee’s also that.
So this tea hasn’t been added to the database so I add it! Unfortunately I couldn’t get the picture to work for submission sorry!
Flavors: Lemon, Pineapple
Oh I didn’t realize these two were the same company! Good to know.
@Shae yeah they changed awhile back (I forget exactly when) but now you can barely recognize it. I miss the old Red Leaf Tea with their multitude of flavours and customization options.
