Wow well I am surprised.
Honestly.
I sort of held off reviewing this one as I thought for sure I would have to mix it with something like orange matcha for Mimosa or peach for a sweeter champagne flavor.
I love champagne so I don’t know why but I just expected this to be off somehow.
I should never have doubted Red Leaf Tea!!
This is extremely accurate to a good champagne flavor!
I mixed mine with a little warm water then added cold sparkling water for that champagne bubbly taste!
PERFECTION!
I tried it both with and without german rock sugar.
I liked it both ways!
This is going to be so much fun to mix with other flavors!
I will still do my mimosa as well as trying it with peach but the options are limitless!
I can’t believe I waited so long for this one and the other rating posted is a 100 as well so how can you go wrong unless you just hate champagne!
I can’t drink anymore due to health reasons and well I probably never should have been drinking to begin with but that is another story.

Mine was order in basic grade matcha with robust flavoring! I always go Robust unless it is a citrus flavor then I go distinctive.

Yeah I was not sure about Rum – I used to enjoy rum but always had to add sweet stuff to enjoy it – although spiced rum was really good. I just think it would be far too intense for me.
This was light – especially adding the sparkling water to give it that sparkling champagne flavor! YUM!
My issue was that it doesn’t smell/taste anything like rum, it’s more like bubble gum. LOL. It’s not a bad taste, per se, but it’s not rum like I was hoping.
Thats odd! Sounds like you wanted it more intense haha and you got bubblegum rum haha. Is it sweet?
I don’t think I would like anything bubblegum flavored very much.
It’s… not bad. I don’t know I can’t really put my finger on the smell. Maybe it’s just too chemical-y. Or maybe I’ve had different rum. LOL.
hope you are not disallowed to drink tea for health reasons. i hope this happens to no one, but especially you love you matcha reviews just have not had the nerve to try it yet( bad experience with sencha has made me leery of greens).
Oh thank you I hope I never have to stop drinking tea!!
I am so sorry you had a bad experience with sencha! :(
Glad you liked it! I tried the rum and I was … very disappointed :(
