DavidsTEA Matcha Advent Calendar 2020 – Day 7

Taking Roswell ‘s lead on this again and logging the Day 7 honey infused matcha to this tea, as this tea was in the honey. I had high hopes for this and was going to put it on toast, but had a small taste on it’s own and…no. Lol not my favorite flavor. Now full disclaimer – we have our own bees in our yard so we get some pretty fine very local honey at my place lol. I think this has spoiled my perceptions of any other honey. And on top of that, the super grassy note of the matcha in the honey…it reminded me of dark seaweed with sweetness. Not my thing lol.

Couldn’t bring myself to put this on toast, but did whisk up some Pumpkin Pie matcha and added a bit in there, and it worked out okay as it was pretty masked! Will probably finish the little jar of it in that manner haha. Not sure if I will be brave enough to try it on toast…interesting for sure!

I mean it’s not awful, there’s just too much matcha in it to use that way IMO. Also the texture is really weird so I ended up warming mine to make it spreadable…

Haha, yeah I found with my small taste the matcha was way too overpowering…I imagine it would be worse on toast. Yeah it’s a bit gritty for texture!

Bio

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
