I sucked this down so fast its hard to even do a review on it because it is SOOOOOOO GOOD! You can get some here:

The smell of this one was absolutely spot on for Cookies and Cream.
There is a chocolate note that is so perfect and the creamy notes of cloyingly sweet cookie filling! And OH YES cloyingly sweet is GOOD in this case!
Obviously this is a dessert matcha! But if you are like me and don’t mind having your dessert for breakfast then its A okay!
Granted we still have this beautiful matcha base for our health kick and no guilt right!?
I am one happy camper slugging down my cookies and cream for breakfast!
My matcha from Red Leaf Tea is as follows:
Options:
Size : Small
Matcha Quality: Starter (Basic Grade)
Flavor: Robust
Storage: Add Small Metal Tin Container (Holds up to 45g)
As I always mention because you never know when a new steepster may be reading – remember to grab up one of the screw top tins when you place your order! Excellent tins – air tight and keep you from making a matcha mess when you scoop!
This is the first matcha that I got the larger 60 gram size of! I normally buy the small in 30 gram but when I saw this available on sale nonetheless I grabbed up a large! I have NO regrets!
I would have got the large tin but I wanted my growing matcha collection to be uniform so I put the overflow in another container I had and put it away for safe keeping. I am sure once I suck down all of this in light speed I will be glad I hid a little from myself!
When I was at the store the other day I grabbed some Sweet Cream creamer to use in my latte blends instead of the vanilla. Today I mixed up a latte with the sweet cream which complimented this matcha perfectly! I only use a dash though to give my latte a thicker consistency as I don’t want the creamer to overshadow or cover the true matcha flavor. It was divine! I don’t know how I will keep myself from making a second cup! I am sitting here sucking on the ice cubes that still have some matcha clinging to it and I just want to dive in and be one with the remaining goodness!
I love the grassy vegetal creamy flavor of matcha and I realize purists would cringe at all the flavors being added but life is too short not to enjoy everything Red Leaf has to offer! I have yet to try a straight matcha from Red Leaf and that is in the plans for the near future but for now I am going to keep indulging in all the flavors I have yet to try and the new ones that are being slowly (painfully) released! I want them all NOW!

you can just send your overflow to me… you know so everything looks the same in the cupboard lol I missed this sale…curse you for making me regret it!
Don’t worry THEY ARE ALL SOOOOOO GOOD! Tiramisu will be on sale this weekend which I can’t wait for! You should try to get in on that! :)
thank for the info i like tiramisu gonna be a good time to try if white matcha trigger allergy or not ( i hope not since they have so much flavor i want them all)
I pray for you that it does not trigger an allergy! I want you to be able to enjoy matcha with us! :)
well i still can drink green one since it take 5 to 10 minute to trigger so for 5 minute i’m like that was good i should take another cup then it’s trigger and become why the hell did i drink that ? i don’t want to learn i like matcha too much :P ( and it’s not like it is deadly ) but still if i can find one that i can drink without allergy i will be really happy :)
Yikes I mean at least you “can” drink them but still what a bad deal. Is there anything you can take before hand to help defray the symptoms?
well it is really seasonal allergy so i take the same thing i take all summer and the symptoms go away after some times ( any allergy treatment work ) people with bad summer allergy tend to get away from what give them reaction ( like i’m not gonna go roll in a flower field that would be real bad lol ) i just can’t do that with tea even if the matcha i have is probably far from the better it’s still tea
Aw Zoltar that sucks! Definitely try a different matcha base – the white and black bases should hopefully treat you well <3
“Dive in and be one with the remaining goodness!” LOL! Awesome!
