Bird & Blend Matcha Advent Calendar – Day 4
Another single-serve stick. Sigh…
I don’t know if I’m just being entitled, but these single serves in the matcha advent are really irritating me. At the price I paid (£65 + shipping) they really should have just made all of these mini tins. I’m four days in and so far, two of the days have been single servings…
Anyway, on to the matcha. Prepared the half-teaspoon serving with 4 ounces of plain soy milk.
I quite like this one. The lemon flavor reminds me of lemon drops without the sugar. It’s definitely not authentic lemon, more of a candy flavor. But I like it! It’s not overpoweringly flavored either. The matcha base is quite weak (as usual), but at least I can taste it a little under the lemon. I would consider buying this one (though in all likelihood, I’ll just order a lemon matcha from 3 Leaf, as I like their base much better).
From Bonne Maman, we have Orange-Cinnamon (Orange-Cannelle) spread. I’m not a huge fan of marmalade, but this smells delicious. The smell actually reminds me more of honey than jam. There are some orange rind pieces mixed in. The spread itself is a bit bitter (being a maramalade), but the cinnamon really helps to sweeten it and counteract the bitterness a bit. A delicious combination! :D
Flavors: Candy, Creamy, Grass, Lemon, Smooth, Sweet

Now I’m going to have to try Bird & Blend Tea Co., Cameron. My first Lupicia should be here any day now too.
I can send you a sampling of their teas! The matchas I only have a serving or two, so that’s a bit tougher.
Their shipping to the States is cray cray.
Awww that sucks. I’ve never traded tea before, but that sounds good. I will send you some What-Cha teas that I saw on your wishlist. :D
I’m new to all of this. ^^
Ya, they don’t make it easy for us international Teabirds. :-(
:( I know I had to order a LOT to get the VAT and free shipping from Theodor >.<. I’ll have enough of their milk oolong for an army lol.
If it works out any cheaper I’m happy to send stuff on to you. Not sure how much their international shipping is but it’s way cheaper to me for sure.
They just added a free shipping threshold for international orders! It is quite high though (£64) but I’m excited nonetheless. :D
Ooh awesome! (:
