drank Turmeric Latte by Nelson's Tea

Ha I don’t like this herbal matcha from my subscription box. The flavor is so strong and sharp and savory. I mixed it with milk and lots of sugar, but nothing could dilute it enough. The texture is super gritty, which isn’t fun to drink. It’s a little spicy and bitter. I just don’t understand the existence of this tea.

Thank you for the comments, we actually source our Matcha from its original location in China where it was first created. Budhist monks brought the matcha tradition to Japan from the region we source it from. The region is called Jingshan County, within the Yuhang District of Hangzhou, China. While we promote this Matcha as “Culinary”, it is actually a premium grade and in taste comparisons, we have found it to be higher quality than even some ceremonial grades. But it looks like what you drank was the Turmeric Latte and that is certainly spicy, think more Chai flavored.

Had to read what you wrote after reading your comment on mine XD If I went into this one thinking it was matcha I would be mad. I would call this a clove latte over a turmeric latte due to how strong the clove is. I can definitely see how that would be a turn off

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
