AJRimmer Advent Day 21

I don’t drink a lot of matcha, so my preparation could totally have been at fault here. But the latte I made with this blend was disappointingly grainy and bitter, totally lacking in the sweet, creamy “cake” flavor I was hoping for. I picked up on a bit of vanilla, but overall it was disappointing.

For some reason I’ve found this tea a little difficult to nail down the two times I’ve had it. At first, I mostly only tasted milk. Now I taste slightly bitter matcha with something like sprinkles flavor mixed in there. I didn’t enjoy this as much as the DavidsTEA ones I usually drink. I bought my friend the raspberry flavor for her birthday, and she loved that, but this one isn’t for me. It also stays clumpy and doesn’t mix well so you’re either drinking plain milk or bitter clumps. I know people love this brand, so I wish I’d enjoyed it more!

Cameron B.

I haven’t had the clumping problem, but I always sift matcha. I also find this one to be a bit on the lighter side, flavor-wise, compared to some of the others.

AJRimmer

Good, I still may try some others at some point!

Cameron B.

Let me know if you want some samples, I have a few flavors right now!

AJRimmer

Ha I may take you up on that! I know you’ve been into cold brewing lately, so perhaps I have some fruity herbals I could send you in return!

This made me harken back to days when I had a drawer absolutely full of flavored matcha from Red Leaf Tea. (Now called Matcha Outlet.)

This was delicious. The cake flavor is spot on and the matcha isvery nice with no bitterness. Good color and good froth. Would repurchase for sure.

Cameron B.

Awww I miss Red Leaf, they had so many interesting flavors… :’(

Courtney

They really did!

I think I had ten or fifteen flavors at a time back when you could earn points with reviews. It was soooo good. I still like their D25 matcha and my daughter drinks it. For a while they would occasionally offer one of their flavored teas in a limited edition. I don’t know if they still do.

Kaylee

Even their “basic” flavors like vanilla were delicious, and without having sugar in them!

ashmanra

Kaylee: you are right! We loved caramel, vanilla, bilberry, and there was some sort of custard dessert flavor that I can’t remember the name of that was sooo good. Really they were all good!

ashmanra

Just checked – they do have a pre-sweetened French Vanilla Matcha available now.

Cameron B.

I miss graham cracker! I’m definitely thankful for 3 Leaf, but I hope they continue to add new flavors. Why is there no vanilla or strawberry?!?! :(

beerandbeancurd

Had no idea flavored matcha was a thing! I really wanted to get into matcha, long ago, but never quite fell under its spell like I expected to. What would your first recommendation be for a flavored matcha?

Sipdown! (29 | 518)

I really don’t drink matcha often enough. So it feels really good to finish off one of my pouches from 3 Leaf!

I’ve been preparing these cold in oat milk, and it works really well for this flavor. So convenient in my milk frother as well. This is probably my least favorite of my current flavors, but only because I just tend to prefer fruit flavors in general. It does have a nice, rich cake flavor to it that’s not overpowering. The matcha itself is also quite smooth with only a touch of bitterness at the end of the sip. I also added a light drizzle of vanilla syrup to this glass, which gives it a nice subtle sweetness and enhances those yummy cakey notes.

Tasty! Not sure if I’ll order it again though since there are other flavors I like more. But variety is always nice too.

This past Sunday was my birthday and ff you’ve known or followed me for a while, than you may know that on my birthday I have a tradition where I drink as many teas from my tea stash with the word “cake” in their name as I can get through! This year that happens to be A LOT of teas – like, over twenty. I definitely did not make it through all of them – in fact, I barely scratched the surface due to some health funk I was feeling (and am still feeling). I’m glad I got n a few though, and missing the ones that literally have “Birthday Cake” in the name would have felt like a crime!

I’ve had this one as an oat milk latte quite a few times this week. I sweeten it with a bit of honey and it’s wonderful. 3 Leaf does flavored matches really well.
