15938 Tasting Notes
So as I suspected, this is a brilliant cold brewed tea! Where it’s a nice tangy hot tea, it’s a fantastic cold tea! Tethered a nice berry taste, there’s a bit of tang and the colour is wonderful :) I don’t drink a lot of cold tea in winter but this is likely something to go on my shopping list for summer! Thanks azzrian
Let me just start by saying that If there’s anyone out there who bought this and doesn’t love it/want it – you just send it my way!
This tea has totally grown on me and now I’m dreading the thought that it will be gone soon. I would love to see this as a permanent tea with frank, though I suspect that is a long shot. Ah well, at least I can enjoy it while i have it.
Mmmmm i really like this! I haven’t had many (if any) Keemun’s so I opted to pick this up while I was in San Francisco. It has a really interesting taste. It’s a strong tea with a smokey chocolatey taste that hangs out in the background. I brewed this western style for what it’s worth :) Looking forward to trying out the other teas I picked up in San Fran, though i have a few more samples to sip down first heh
Preparation
Nothing says HELLO GOOD MORNING! than a matcha smoothie! (Unless you’re Helena) I tossed in some frozen mangos as well as the matcha into my smoothie this morning just to have a bit of extra kick. It was delicious! I really like the blending of actual fruit and matcha. I’ll have to try that with my berry matcha as well!
Soooo didn’t get much of a chance to drink tea this weekend. Without going in to details about work, we’re in the middle of migration hell so I’ve gotten to spend most of my weekend doing manual updates to 100’s of users. Talk about time consuming and painful! Did manage to get to the gym today to try and start that up again after our two week vacation hiatus. So opted for a delicious smoothie for my evening work – something to keep me going for a bit longer.
I reaaaaallly wanted a cheesecake smoothie but since its on back order and who knows when my order will be here, I opted to save that for Monday? Maybe and try to drink down some of the other matches I have. I’m suddenly over 10 flavours when I had at one point only intended to keep 5 at a time haha! Curse you red leaf for making such yummy matcha!
Again, the berry matcha really does give off that random berry flavour that you get when you miss a bunch of different kinds of berries together in a smoothie. I love it though. Was thinking that someday I should mix berry, pear, black cherry into one :)
that sounds yummy! the only time I’ve ever wanted to experiment with blending teas is with matcha… I think because it’s a powder (or I’m crafting too much in Guild Wars 2 and it’s unleashed my inner mixing monster) I haven’t mixed too much yet as I don’t have enough matcha (yet) to go crazy with… but soon… very soon…
So this is a sample from Azzrian and I have to say, it’s pretty tasty. I totally don’t get pineapple when I drink it but what I do get is a nice tangy refreshing beverage. I think this would be pretty awesome cold so I’m going to use the last of my sample to give that a try tomorrow. This would be a really nice drink on a hot summer day…even hot :) it’s that right balance of sweet and tangy that throws a party in your mouth that your mind can dance to heh thanks Azz!
