drank Wild Honey Matcha by DAVIDsTEA
1195 tasting notes

Didn’t get much sleep after spending the night in the hospital because my SO has a kidney stone, so I just reached for something caffeinated that wouldn’t hurt my stomach.
I learned a while ago that the trick to enjoying DavidsTea’s flavored matchas is to set expectations. I initially expected them to be just flavored matcha with no additives, so the sugar would really throw me off. But once I started approaching them expecting something more like a chain-coffee-shop matcha latte drink, I found them much more enjoyable. With that in mind, this did the trick. It’s sweet, it tastes like honey with some lightly grassy matcha undertones, and I found that it was most enjoyable as a latte rather than with just water.

I hope SO is feeling better! Mine gets kidney stones too and they do not look fun.

Thanks Shae! He’s at least stable now and meds seem to be helping control the pain but I don’t think he’ll be better-better until the damn thing is finally out of him. I’m suddenly highly motivated to hydrate more though! Definitely not an experience I feel the need to share.

Oh sad! Ashman gets those, I have only ever had one. I hope it passes as quickly and painlessly as possible!
