Matcha Latte Sipdown (265)
I used the recommended amount of matcha drink mix for this, which is 5 matcha spoons which is a bit nuts.
It’s good and a whole lot of blueberry flavor but it’s sweet. Very sweet! In fact, remember campino candies? The cream swirled ones? This is what I’d imagine a blueberry and cream one of those would taste like.
Iced Tea Sipdown (268)
I don’t like this one. I got it as part of the cocktail collection back in November and today I prepared it to go for a socially distant visit with a couple friend. This was just a super convenient single serving pack of tea with caffeine that could be nice iced while we sat outside.
It’s not bad but for my tastes it just a touch too sweet. Sweet and has that waxy apple/fruit flavor that some DAVIDsTEA blends get. It does have a sort of Bellini vibe to it so I could appreciate where this is going. It just didn’t take me there.
Iced Latte Sipdown (269)
I got this from the Dollar Tea Club subscription again and I debated about putting it straight into my swap box but instead decided to make an iced latte.
At first, it didn’t taste like much but after sitting for a little bit, it started to taste like sprinkles. Sprinkles and vanilla cake batter. I’m into it and while it’s not the best take on birthday cake I’ve ever had, it’s good. I wouldn’t be mad if it showed up again…and seems like it might be since Dollar Tea Club liked the picture of this iced latte on Instagram and has suggested sending me a full size bag in order to have me do a step-by-step photo guide.
Aww poop. This just reminded me I didn’t order from Adagio during my birth month so I missed a chance at their secret “Birthday” tea.
Do you know any good (and available) birthday cake teas? I’m a sucker for birthday cake flavor and I can’t seem to find a bunch.
This one isn’t bad though not my favourite since I find it can be a bit hot and miss. Otherwise it’s hard to say since my favourite Birthday Cake tea was made by Butiki which is obviously no longer available and I know 52 Teas had good ones but they’re not available either. If I think of one though, I’ll let you know.
I had never heard of the Adagio birthday thing! Too late for this year, but I will have to check it out.
