Indigobloom drank Strawberry Matcha by Matcha Outlet

1759 tasting notes

Wowsa this is great! Hot, it tastes like strawberry candy, the creamy kind with swirls in in. What were they called again? I’ve forgotten! Sweet and jammy. I did need to add some agave though.
Cold, I get more fresh tart fruitiness. Lovely :)
Overall, I definitely prefer it shaken bottle method. The tartness has just enough zing that it reminds me of eating those wild baby strawberries, and thus it reminds me of my Aunt’s cottage, where I used to find them sprinkled alongside the path leading towards our lake. Honestly, they taste JUST like that, only better because they were often a little too sour! heh.
Next, I really wanna try this as a latte. I’m not one for soy milk, but I think the flavours would go really well together. In my head, it will be the perfect latte! Oh and with peppermint as well. That is the combo I look forward to trying out most :P
Oh yah, I did mix it with butterscotch at one point. It was ok but I think I prefer those two when made separately. Dunno why but I do!
Anyhow, in this order I got Basic grade, Robust level flavouring, small size. And a tin. Always go with a tin.

Campino candies! I wish I got the same taste from this as you did. Maybe I’ll try it shaken at some point. : )

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
