This is the first time I’ve had matcha since I was always a little afraid to try something that looked so weird and had such non-tea type flavors. But I’ve read so many reviews that made it sound good so I look the plunge into the world of matcha. I got the sample from Red Leaf Tea. OMG this stuff is good! Mixed it with vanilla soy milk and a couple ice
cubes in blender. Makes a lovely bright green liquor. Smells so much like cheesecake that I can’t believe it. I’m going to have to be careful of this stuff because I could easily drink way too much of this. The vanilla soy milk is low fat but it still has calories. I am really trying to not start any bad habits with foods. It’s so easy to do! (I lost another pound this week!) I think I saw some descriptions where it was just mixed with water. I’ll have to cheek those out.
Well, remember what I said about easily getting addicted to this… well, it’s about ten minutes later and I’m having another glass. This time I made it with half soy milk and half water and less ice cubes. Still very good! OK, now I really can’t have more or the caffeine will take over and I’ll have the whole house cleaned, basement organized, laundry done and dinner cooked! Heavens, we wouldn’t want that to happen! My husband will think I should that everyday! ;-D

I haven’t tried matcha yet either.. tempted to order their sample this month though. Green tea isn’t my favorite so I’m a little nervous it will be too green and not enough flavor.. Looks like I will have to take the leap.
I get you on the doing too much in one day thing! It could come back to haunt you :)
Exactly! To me the Cheesecake matcha has no real green tea taste. Really only cheesecake come through.
You got me looking at their website, this one the caramel one are on sale today only. Soo soo tempting
I’m waiting for my sample to show up still. I keep reading people’s tasting notes for this one because it just sounds so good. Hopefully it shows up soon. Like maybe today.
Isn’t it terrible how much our life has become focused on the mail! Will it come to day? Will it come tomorrow? Oh no, no mail on Sunday!!! :D
Very true. I’ve got a few tea orders I’m waiting on, and a few tea ware orders I’m waiting on. I need something new to drink.
I was just on the Adagio site ordering some of the Doctor Who samplers. The order confirmation show a cute picture of a person waiting by the door… as in waiting for their tea to arrive. LOL Just what we were chatting about.
