Matcha Outlet

latte style this morning :D I just can’t seem to get enough pumpkin tea this month :D

Had a cup of this in my leakproof travel mug latte style. (I may have shaken it once or twice) still awesome :D

I had a 2 cups of this, earlier in the morning latte style. This means I put the matcha in a half a cup of water frothed and then added a half cup of milk to get one full cup latte. I am way to lazy to do the stovetop method :D (this is essentially the process to make Starbucks Chai Latte)

I had a cup or two of this latte style this morning. I keep meaning to try it straight but somehow the milk always ends up going in :D

Had another cup of this latte style first thing this morning absolutely yummy!

This is AWESOME!! I’m having it as a latte (I posted pics on google+ ) with my little Sylvester mug :D Who needs Starbucks when you could be enjoying this? I had starter grade (classic) with the strongest flavour setting, the small 30g with the small tin (yes I needed the tin) and oh my this is heaven :D I’m sorry DT’s pumpkin chai but you have to move out of favourite pumpkin spot :D

SIPDOWN! omg i can’t tell you how good that feels lol. Mostly because i think i have about 20 different kinds of matcha in my house sitting…waiting to be opened! Still enjoy this one quiet a bit but happy to take a break from it to try out all the new flavours i picked up.

Treated myself to a matcha smoothie this morning, largely in part from the fact that i just picked up 15 new matchas that i’m not allowed to open until i get through some of the ones i already have open….that’s in addition to the 5 or so that are already sitting there unopened…waiting for me from previous orders lol. At least i know that i can drink matcha all night long on satuday night if i so choose.

Still enjoying this one quite a bit, unlike other flavours that waned over time. :)

I have not been having my morning matcha smoothie lately. Not because i haven’t wanted to but because i just haven’t had time recently in the morning AND allergies are killing me, such that i want nothing to do with milk in the morning.

Today though? I felt better, so i made a quick latte this morning with this matcha to see if that helps with the serious sleepies that i’m feeling these days as a result of not sleeping well. See previous tasting notes, but this is still a really enjoyable matcha flavour for me :)

More of this in smoothie form today! Also had a mini sipdown of my friends french vanilla matcha though i still have an unopened bag in my cupboard. Sooo much matcha to go through.

heh missed my 1400 tasting note mark yesterday. I was soooo exausted. Today is a little better and so far no major issues so I might get work done. Lots of work to wrap up this week though given how behind i am. I’m greatful to be starting the day with this matcha and a couple of other teas :) YAY new work week!

mmmmm i had a matcha smoothie of this one today as well. We have a ton of yogurt in the house that needs to be eaten so i thought that the tangyness of the yogurt would go well with this matcha in particular. I am really digging this combo sans frozen banana. :)

woot woot! quick backlog. had this in the morning..forgot to log it… system exploded, two days in a row of this crap. meetings last night…meetings tonight… going home and having more damnit!

Morning smoothie today with a splash of vanilla matcha! I’ve got a long day today followed by a quick check in with the doctor to see how blind i’ve gotten this year lol. Someday my prescription will normalise and i’ll be able to buy multiple pairs of glasses to suit my every mood. someday lol

Kicked off my day with this and so far my mouth is behaving enough to let me have some tea. Here’s hoping that keeps up! Enjoying this one as i haven’t had it in a while. I’m doing my best not to open any new matchas just yet so that i force myself to finish up the older ones that i have on the go. Just a few more left to drink up, then i need to find out if i’m actually supposed to drink my friends matcha that’s staying at my house while she’s pregnant lol.

Super stupid busy today so my notes will likely be short. Had htis in the morning and it was fantastic. Still one of my happy teas. :)

Had this today…another indication that my taste buds are wonky, so no new teas for me today apart from the black i chose this morning. No point since everything is tasting strange.

So the only downside to a large bag of matcha from Red Leaf is when you only have the small tins lol. I finally was able to finish the last of this that was still hanging out in the bag that wouldn’t fit into the tin. I added a dash of vanilla matcha to this as well to blend the flavours together. The result – a wonderful matcha morning smoothie!

oh black cherry, how i’ve missed you :) Had my usual smoothie this morning and added a dash of vanilla matcha to this one, to smooth out the cherry taste. I’m thinking that maybe this weekend i’ll try going back to the pumpkin and chai matcha i bought and try them in hot latte form again to see if they’ve improved.

oh yeah baby! Delicious black cherry matcha to start the morning. I also brought a few teas in for one of my colleagues as he’s trying to quit drinking coffee but misses caffeine. So loashan black it is! I offered him some matcha but i think the green turned him off lol :)

sooo delicious! I really need to place another red leaf order soon. I’m gradually working my way through most of the flavours i have and I think? i’ve got my favs narrowed down. it’s so hard though when everything’s soooo delicious! :)

I really enjoy adding just a splash of cheesecake to the black cherry matcha – it seems to bring out the cherry just a bit to make it POP!

mmmm such a good morning for a black cherry matcha! I really am pleased with my experiences with red leaf. They have a great matcha review program and their quality has been wonderful. Now, i’m not the most experienced matcha person, but i like it and that’s what matters!

Black cherry…it’s delicious and full of cherry goodness. Just the right matcha to offset my darker teas this morning. :)

I totally woke up today convinced it was saturday…snuggled down into my blankets hearing my other half get up to go to work. 15 mins later my alarm went off. UGH. Only thing to really look forward to today is that i’m finally gett my haircut! It’s been about 8 months so it’s um a little worse for wear.

On that note i needed a good strong smoothie this morning. Doubled up on my matcha and made a black cherry caramel (50/50) smoothie with extra matcha. soooo good! It’s going nicely with my other tea as i try to focus on work today.
