Guess what arrived today! I was very surprised (happily so!) to receive my package from 52Teas!
The strawberry flavor is a bit tart. Or it could be that the slight bitterness from Matcha brings out the tart of the strawberry. The sweeter strawberry flavor arrives on the palate in the finish as sort of a low note. The strawberry flavor is a really nice addition to the flavor of the Matcha. I think I like the mandarin matcha a little better though. Overall a very pleasant Matcha.

you post made me go tearing out of the apartment to go check my mail, sadly nothing from 52teas, but at least a swap was there so it wasn’t a total let down. hopefully it gets here soon!
Mine arrived today too! I’m just staring lovely at it right now—I’m almost hesistant to disturb its vacuum-packed glory!
No fair! I want mine! What matcha/water ratio did you use?
Jealous!!! Mine won’t arrive till sometime next week!
I’m jealous too! Who knows when mine will arrive.
Maybe Chelsea likes me better than the rest of you. (evil grin)
FYI, all of the initial Strawberry Matcha orders went out the same day, so it’s all up to the post office now, but I would bet that everyone in the US should have theirs Monday.
Maybe the postal service likes me better than the rest of you. After all, my father is a retired postmaster. (giggle)
By the way, Frank… how about a peach flavored Matcha? Yum… or… maybe do a Chelsea special to the matcha and make it chocolate covered banana matcha! Chelsea’s rooibos is still my favorite from 52Teas!
I actually think the next one might be a tuna melt matcha. :)
oh… yummy! Can’t wait for it.
lol!! :)))
i vote for plain tuna salad actually, celery, tuna, mayo ;)
onion too, please… I love onion in my tuna salad.
While I totally believe that 52teas is capable of tuna melt or tuna salad matcha, cheese and mayo flavors scare me. Can they be done w/o needing to be refrigerated like the real thing?
@Cofftea – yes! well at least the tuna http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/product/dried-tuna-flakes-3-52-oz haven’t found a dry mayo yet
waiwait not what i wanted: http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/saladdressings/ss/mayonnaise.htm so mayo is eggs (comes dry powered) and oil….so i think it can be done flavor-wise
Man, I wish this was still on their site.
Yes, it’s sad it’s gone, but the other ones are equally as good!
I was eying the cranberry matcha.
Do it!
@Geoffrey – the cranberry is probably my favorite of the three most recently released flavored matchas from 52Teas – I really like this one. Although, the other 2 are very good also.
Peer pressure really works on here.
Haha! Ooooh yeah.
