Bird & Blend Matcha Advent Calendar 2023 – Day 10
I’m surprised they put this one 10 days into the calendar. If it were me, I would’ve placed it very early since really it’s more of a fall flavor.
It’s quite a nice matcha though, and true to its name, it does taste like pumpkin pie. I prepared mine as an iced latte (as always) so I’m sure that helps to emulate the creamy texture. Tasting the allspice and nutmeg up front, backed by clove and cinnamon. (Actually, clove isn’t in the ingredients, so I guess that’s just the allspice still!) Ginger adds an earthiness which goes well with the already earthy matcha.
Speaking of which, I don’t taste a ton of matcha here, maybe because it’s a bit diluted by the ground spices. Still, it makes for a nice, creamy pumpkin pie sort of latte with a dash of matcha flavor.
Flavors: Allspice, Cinnamon, Clove, Earthy, Ginger, Grassy, Nutmeg, Spices, Sweet
I found myself overly exasperated by the Harney and Sons Twelve Days of Christmas advent for sale at Barnes and Noble. They didn’t add ANY of their holiday teas! They could have put Holiday, White Christmas, Nutcracker Blend, and things like their new Salted Caramel black. Everything was so….UN-holiday, winter, or celebration oriented! Hopefully next time, these folks will consult US, CameronB!
:D
So lame! Maybe they just did their bestsellers? Advents are so much more fun when the teas are festive IMO! :|
