I’m slowly finishing off a lot of caffeinated teas this week. I will be buying more since I love this tea, but I don’t need this many blends in my cupboard.

Lots of dried apple and caramel notes, popcorn, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, coconut (toasted coconut). and butter. I don’t taste the green tea at all, but I’m fine with that. Ideally they would make this a herbal since the popcorn and apple take up most of the space anyway.

This was a great caffeine boost this morning to prepare for a tough and very long day. I mixed ~1 tsp into 200 mL cold vanilla soy milk and it was a very sweet, creamy, peachy breakfast drink. The matcha came through as fresh and flavourful but the milk totally covered any grassy bitterness.

I may have added too much vanilla soy milk to this one. The actual tea flavor doesn’t come through as much. However, it still has a lot of creamy white chocolate, toasted rice/genmaicha flavor action which is great. I have a very difficult exam today and I really needed something new and exciting (but also decadent) to keep me going.

The spearmint in this is quite good. You can taste the green tea when you brew it stronger. I enjoyed my coldbrewed. The spearmint provides enough sweetness that you don’t need any sugar.

A tasty sipdown for my morning cup. I made this with 500 mL very hot water + a bit of vanilla soy milk. This was the bottom of a small sample pack and it had lots of little crumbs that made for a strong (in a good way) cup of tea.

This is a generic black tea. A bit bitter and slightly acidic. Nothing remarkable to say. I had it with a splash of soy milk and that evened out the tannins a bit, but it was far from a remarkable cup.
