Wow! First tasting note for this tea. I feel so powerful!

I bought this matcha when I bought my first batch from Red Leaf last week. It’s not the first one I’ve tried, but the first one I’m writing about as it needs a presence on the site. I bought this as I love to drink grapefruit juice and tea in the AM, but sometimes the drinks don’t mix so well, one hot, one cold, one bitter and sweet, one vegetal. I’m not sure what made me think two things that don’t taste all that great together in two separate glasses would taste very good together in one glass, but alas, they do! The grapefruit flavor is spot on perfect. Not the sugary sweet canned flavor of grapefruit, but the fresh squeezed fully pulpy flavor. I feel like I’m actually drinking a glass of grapefruit juice. I will be restocking and having this for breakfast every day. I’m so happy with it.

Robust Flavor

Made using cold method and only water. The little dude asked if I was having bug juice for breakfast. Of course I said yes. I’m keeping this yummy secret only for myself for a while. I can see my husband hoarding in on this one.

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.

I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.

I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.

Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.
