15534 Tasting Notes
Today’s tasting note is brought to you by the flavors caramel and mango! Yeah that’s right, another smoothie morning for me. I have to say i am a HUGE fan of matcha smoothies. The caramel is just the right blend of sweet delicious goodness that always combines so very well with the fruit that i add. The more i drink this, the more i’m looking forward to trying every flavour that red leaf has to offer!
Another repeat of yesterday! Trying to make a final decision on which two teas get to travel with me on my upcoming cruise lol.
buy some good morning sunshine and take it with you!
only 2 teas? Choosing only 2 would be crazy talk for me! Last time I traveled I came with at least 8 teas, lol!
Yeah, I’m with Awkward Soul. It would be really hard to narrow it down to just 2. Maybe just 2 blacks (maybe…), but I’d aso have to have other stuff.
Helena – oh just stop! LOL And i can’t place another butiki order until stacy gets my grapefruit tea up! Sheesh!
AS and TH – no no no you see i’m bringing two…and buying a bunch while i’m travelling haha I just need 2 to get me through the first two days before we hit san fran and i can buy new teas!
Only 2?! no way. Noooo way lol
OH, well, if you’re planning on buying more tea on the trip…
oh wait… san fran, right! ok so that isn’t SO bad. Still, only 2… that is scary!
So another morning smoothie, this time to accompany my breakfast sandwich. The other half and i have found that in the morning it’s gotta be either Salsa eggs or breakfast sammiches (as he calls them) Whole grain english muffin, an egg, turkey bacon slice and a tiny slice of aged cheddar to bring it all together.
Add a caramel raspberry matcha smoothie to the mix and I am in heaven! mmmm
Sooo backlogging from yesterday as I also ended my day with a smoothie. This time, Caramel Peach banana grin I’m such a fan of matcha smoothies. Really need to get to trying my cheesecake and pear matcha heh
Mmmmmm love this tea. Today it’s like a smoothy chaser lol While i love Stacy for her flavoured teas, this black is amazing! It’s the right balance of black with a creamy, sweet taste that leaves me looking for more every time I finish a cup.
Preparation
So I just have to say….Caramel Peach Smoothie for breakfast is awesome! I blended some caramel matcha this morning with some frozen peaches and milk for the perfect morning breakfast. yes, I know i should be eating a real meal but the other half didn’t get up early enough so we were both running super late. Normally we’re pretty good, but this morning we were not doing well.
This smoothy is delicious! It’s the perfect blend of caramel and peach. I can’t get over how much i love this matcha. I’m still not entirely on side with drinking it straight, but baby steps! Looking forward to trying my new flavours asap as well. Mostly so that I can justify ordering more haha
I love tea smoothies!! Can’t wait to try it with matcha though! I am still waiting for my first order to arrive!
If only I had read this before going to bed last night! It’s exactly what I’d be making right now! Tomorrow, I guess.
I wish my order would come already so I can try it!
Still not loving this tea to death…the chocolate is very muted to me, as is the spice. I know they rolled outa spicier blend so I’ll need to give that a try next. That being said, this is a nice tea, but it just doesn’t knock my socks off the way id hoped it would.
Course part of that might just be the no good, very bad day I’m having today. Getting my matcha ready for the morning so I can have a caramel, peach smoothie and tucking myself in to bed for an early night. Things always look better in the morning, and if they don’t it’s always good to have more sleep! :)
Now Now Alexander … :)
I do however hope it gets better!
Oops another post … I need to learn to read the WHOLE thing then reply to ALL of it as opposed to letting each singular thought I have come into type!
SO ANYWAY … caramel peach huh … now that is intriguing!
I need to get some peach matcha!
That made me smile Azz…thanks :)
As for the caramel peach…it’s brought to you by a. Can. Of. Peaches. I’m not so fancy as the rest of you to be mixing all of them thar matcha flavours together! Lol sorry..getting a little loopy…but yeah I love peaches…and cherries…and well fruit. Fruit is good…caramel and fruit is better….chocolate and coffee and fruit and caramel is wonderful….
I may have steeped this too long, was a busy day at work butif that’s not the case, this just isn’t appealing to me. Will have to try again tomorrow. Idid notice more of an apple crisp type flavoring though… So that was good.
It’s much better over ice!
I’m thinking youre right and this just needs to be a cold tea. So far, not loving it hot. That’s ok though…not everything needs to be hot :)
I love Persimmon Tree but I did not care for this one either.
The iced version really brings out the peachy notes which gives it a bit more character. Isn’t it funny how some teas just don’t do well hot?
Really quick note to make sure i don’t forget about this one. I’m trying to make sure i track what/when i’m drinking things so that when i finally figure out what teas will become staple in my cupboard it’ll be easier.
The mornings are a lot cooler here now, I almost have to wear a jacket in to work. however, trying hard not to do that because by the time i’m going home, its an exercising in having more crap to carry.
But for the cooler mornings, this chai is a wonderful way to start out. Warm, toasty, spicy drink to go with the cool morning.
