15926 Tasting Notes
Really? No tasting notes for this? Man this is delicious! It smells heavenly and so very much like lychee.
Hard to believe this is a decaffeinated tea. It’s peachy and lychee and smooth and delicious! Yeah so my words are failing me this evening but I’m SUPER glad that I picked this up when I was in San Francisco :)
This is a delicious tea! While i really enjoy strong teas, I find that i prefer the flavours that are in the taiwanese assam from butiki. However, this is still a great assam. I’m going to have fun brewing this one at different times to see how the tea changes. It’s not as malty as other teas that i’ve had but there is a citrusy?? note that is quite enjoyable in this tea. hmmmm more to come as i try this one out
I am cold this morning…so very cold. It’s like i’m chilled and can’t seem to get warm…so what do i drink? A cold smoothie. yeah i know. But believe it or not it takes longer to make a hot latte and then it means i have one less travel mug full of tea to bring to work. heh Still loving this english tofee matcha, though i realised this morning I am starting to run low on a few of the matchas i “add” to my single flavours in order to spice them up. Here’s hoping it’ll give me a chance to run through some of the other flavours i have before i need to place an order. eesh!
(backlog)
Finally got a chance to crack open another of my teas from the Amoda box! This is a really interesting tea. I’ve never had green rooibos before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.
What i got was a unique blend of sweet. I don’t know that I’d agree with the apricot flavour but then I did drink this last night and forget to log it. I’m glad I’ll be able to have another go at this because I’d like to be able to get a better sense of what exactly i was tasting :)
oh. my. god.
So i made this into a smoothie with coffee matcha (2:1 Ratio) and oh.my.god is it amaaaazing. I may need to do this again!
I can’t seem to make it tasty enough for my Mom… (sigh)
Helena…well i’m a little heavy handed on the matcha lol I’m sure i use twice as much as the rest of the world in every smoothie and latte i make haha
Sil, how much do you use? I use alot more in my smoothies than I do in a cuppa
Uh..let’s just say for 2 cups of milk i’m usually rocking at least 1.5 teaspoons of matcha in whatever combination i’m trying…though i’d say that it’s usually more…heh
Hahaha, I think I outdo you, even. For my mid-sized Starbucks cup (presumably a grande?) I have used like 3-4 tsp of matcha… no wonder my tummy hurt so much that one time…
That makes me feel better. Reading everyone saying like 1/2tsp per 6oz….I was like mmmmm yeah….how about 1 or 2? Lol
I know…. hahahaha. I figured it was because I was making lattes and not having it straight. Can’t imagine making it that strong with water, but to get enough flavour I need multiple tsp!
and I thought I was going nuts all this time!! been adding about 1tsp to my smoothies, maybe 1.5 and it could still use more…
OK so I AM nuts, but not for that reason :P
I have yet to try anything from Lupicia, but it sounds tasty!
I had a really short amount of time to try and decide n a few things while I was there. They don’t ship to Canada or its really expensive.,..can’t remember now. Glad I managed to find one winner so far lol the lychee makes this pretty interesting too
