Sipdown (1404)!
Thank you Cameron B. for passing along these matchas!! I was super curious about some of the more unique flavours they carried, so I appreciate getting to try a handful. Unfortunately, I brewed this up and I immediately see exactly what you meant by how intensity off putting the sweet stevia flavour is. I barely tasted anything that could reasonably be called “watermelon” flavoured – it was just an assault of sweetness. I have a pretty high “stevia tolerance” as well, so I can only imagine the shock someone else with a less favorable attitude towards stevia may have gotten…
Also – I noticed that “colour” was one of the ingredients and I just can’t help but wonder why a company would have a need to colour their matcha!?
(But regardless – I’m still super grateful to have gotten to try this one!)
Bleck, the stevia bomb! X(
