Preparation: Western with oatly
Tasting Note: I wanted to try this one as a latte as Deb notes her preferred brewing method for some of her teas. The first time around, I had it straight and I thought it was really nice like that.
So looking at the dry leaf of my current blend, the matcha looks a little dull (I may have waited on opening this bag a little long- about 4 months). The are slices of lime in the blend so that bodes well for the lime flavor. Coconut chips are large which I like.
Brewed as a latte. Matcha and sencha gives the tea a little grassy flavor. The lime is very much present as a flavor but I think that it is the lime flavoring that is giving it that sweet sort of taste as opposed to a pithy lime bitterness. The coconut feels a little lost this way as it competes with the oatly. I don’t know if I am getting key lime pie from this blend as there isn’t really a nutty pie crust element that I am getting with these flavors. I am definitely getting like a matcha key lime ice cream or yogurt though . I definitely prefer this tea brewed with out the oatly though.

This one reminded me more of some sort of lime Jello salad, the kind with Cool Whip added ha ha. Maybe toasted rice would’ve added that pastry element?
Yeah, the lime is definitely more of a jello lime. Oo, toasted rice would’ve helped get the pastry element.
A key lime pie genmaicha is sounding very interesting to me… :D
