6444 Tasting Notes
When I first started getting into iced lattes, I asked Roswell Strange what tea I should use because she sometimes thinks of things I wouldn’t. I had recently just repurchased this and so when she suggested it, it seemed like such a great idea. Then I got distracted and never made it. So now, weeks later, I did it and it’s delicious!
First of all, I’m just really glad that I still enjoy this tea after so many years. And second of all, I really enjoy it as an iced latte. The black tea always gave the more sweet and almost tropical fruit flavours this heaviness, which I didn’t mind because I liked the raspberry coconut combo. However, having it as an iced latte, that heaviness works so well and makes this both fruity and fun while also really selling a dessert vibe. If you’re trying to cut snacking, this is a great way to feel satisfied but also get those typically lighter fruit flavours.
Good call, Roswell Strange!
Yeah, I’m trying to think of a dessert tea to dissuade my snacking RIGHT NOW because I already ate way too much today. This pandemic is not helping me not stress eat.
My sister and I got super into baking and she’s pregnant and not allowed carbs so guess who was eating all the baked goods…
Iced lattes have been great for “dessert” for me. I’ve been decadent with whipped cream and syrup though so I guess they kind of are dessert
Last night I went to bed around 2:30 am and then woke up less than 5 hours later. So this morning I put a lot of this in my mango banana smoothie. I didn’t taste it among the mango and banana flavours of the fruit. Here’s hoping the matcha helps keep me awake though.
