1598 Tasting Notes
And that’s the last of this, as part of Operation: Oldest-Teas First. (118)
Wait, that’s a really crappy codename. Maybe Operation: Stale No More? Operation: Rotation Escalation? Operation: Drink More Tea To Boost My Creativity?
Gonna steep on it. (:P)
lol goofy!
Rotation escalation!
Rotation Escalation is PERFECTION.
Hahah – allllll riiight. Rotation escalation it is! :P
AKA RotEsc. If it gets really insane, (G)RotEsc.
I like the abbreviation, but what’s the G?
steep on it made me lol, ngl :P
Grotesque? G’rot’esc?? :P
Oh. Ohhhhh! (DUH). :D
Today I mixed Pumpkin Pie with Cheesecake, cold milk and frothed it right up. This was a pretty good combo, but not as satisfying as the Cheesecake/Belgium Chocolate.
YUM, you make me want to purchase more matcha so I can play around like this :)
I’m just so grateful I won the contest that Red Leaf put on. I never win anything, so 11 packs of matcha is just unbelievable! :O I was giddy for weeks! (And that was before the caffeine arrived! ha)
OH that explains it :D Congrats!!!
So I’m having this for breakfast. I’m bad at breakfasts when I’m not working. I just sorta get up at 10 and then eat at 1, and stay up until midnight or so – at least 1 hour after the baby goes to bed so I can FINALLY BE ALONE.
This makes a pretty damn good breakfast! And if I haven’t mentioned before,I really love the tins that Tea Spot uses. They have a metal insert under the lid so it’s double-sealed and I know my tea will stay fresh. Thank you, Tea Spot!
I love this tea too, AND their tea tins. :)
Also, Cavo, I have to say how much fun it was coordinating that crazy tea order with you & Sil. LOL
BTW, your current schedule sounds a lot like mine, minus the baby, of course.
I really appreciate you coordinating that order too! :P I would never have discovered Tea Spot without you – I think you send me the original sample that made me want more.
And it’s a pretty decent schedule! :P My only complaint is that when J comes back from university I feel like I haven’t done enough in the day, but that’s because I’m up later than I would be. It’s worth it though – I’d rather be up past midnight all by myself than wake up at 6.
I feel that!
I love working from home, LOL. Although Ms Theresa keeps reminding me that I need to spend a little more time doing actual ‘work’, whatever that is. ;)
Just a quick a note – Belgium Chocolate and Cheesecake matcha mixed together with warm milk is quite amazing!
Yep….helps takeaway the sharpness the chocolate one has
Yeah – it is sharp! But gosh, I don’t want to get rid of either of them now. The cheesecake on it’s own was a bit flat so I’ll have to remember that this one likes being mixed. (Also that means I’m getting 2 scoops of matcha so bonus energy!)
I really want more of this right now but it’s… 12:30? So #willpowersuccess, I won’t.
I’m nearly done this – it’s the perfect cup for a nice autumn afternoon. I love the Fall! I’m going to take the baby out tomorrow and dump leaves on her and take pictures. It’ll be great.
And I made an apple crumble today, with a recipe that is supposed to be better for you than normal so that’s also awesome! :D
Preparation
Oh, this matcha! :O It just makes the best cold lattes! It’d probably be great hot too and some day I’ll try it. Hopefully before I run out of this matcha.
This is the distinctive level.
Oh and I might try Sil’s suggestion and mix this with French Vanilla. That sounds like a great combo!
I love this Earl Grey. It’s so sweet and citrus-y and smooth. I’m just amazed by the freshness and depth of these Justea teas. The bergamot is a tad stronger than I personally prefer but there’s a richness/creaminess to it than I am really enjoying. It’s close to lemon custard as it cools! Close.
I just said that I won’t need any more EG’s now that I have TARDIS and Mount Grey, but maybe I need to take it back. I hope Justea’s crowdfunding efforts are a success because I foresee future orders!
Try it with maple syrup (or maple agave) a la Sil! :D It’s SO GOOD. Also whipped cream.
