Thanks to the wonderful Sil for providing me with a generous sample of this! This one’s distinctive, which I’m quite pleased about since up until now, I’ve always ordered my flavoured matchas in nothing weaker than robust. The matcha itself doesn’t have that much coffee scent, maybe a little of that quintessential bitterness you get from the beans. I prepared this hot with some half and half and brown sugar. Smoothed out the matcha and brought out the coffee a bit. You have to wait to get it in the aftertaste, however.
I’m going to withhold rating for the time being. Try it cold first!

I started with always robust…then found some of the flavours are truly awful and chemical like at robust. This + cheesecake + milk + frozen banana makes me happy lol
Ohh, I don’t have cheesecake but I should blend it with French Vanilla since I have so much of it anyway. I can see what you mean now with the fruit blends, and the nuts too. I can’t imagine ordering those in robust. That must be nasty.
Cheesecake is one of my favourites. Well, of the few I’ve tried. :)
Do you get actual cheese notes from it? I’ve read some people saying they get almost like a savoury cheese note. That’s kind of scared me.
Hmm. Eep. I don’t actually think I can answer that. I haven’t had it in an age, but I don’t recall mentioning anything in my notes about a savoury cheese note.
I have one serving left. Now you’ve piqued my curiosity.
Hmm, maybe you haven’t then? Because you’d think it would be something that would stand out in your memory.
I just finished off a warm latte with it, and I really concentrated on finding anything savoury. I really didn’t taste anything to that effect.
Wow, that was fast haha. Didn’t expect you to have it so soon. Seriously good to know! This one’s been on my list for a while. Seems like you can’t go wrong with it.
