I was trying to place the generically fruity/berry/sweet/creamy flavour of this iced latte the whole time I drank it. I was like this reminds me of something but what? It’s definitely got a berry candy sweetness vibe but it’s also creamy so what is it? Then I read Roswell Strange’s tasting note and she hit the nail on the head when she said fruity cereal milk. Yep – like the greyish-blueish milk that’s left behind in a bowl of Trix. Nostalgic and fun and not expected. And it’s pretty.

Latte Sipdown (204)

Did this taste like pecans? Yeah. Was it delicious? Uhhh not really. It was quite sweet and nutty but in a weird, slight artificial way. It was fine but not one I need again.

I’m always surprised at how much I enjoy this one. It’s sweet and delightful each time. The green base is never very strong. The coconut comes through and while it shouldn’t be in a marshmallow crispy tea, it works here. The popped rice is the perfect counter foil to the sweet coconut.

Latte Sipdown (206)

Thank you Sil for sharing! I made a mini latte topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce and it was quite nice. Sometimes it’s more chocolate than strawberry so it’s always delightful when that strawberry note pops up. It’s a creamy/candy strawberry that is giving me strawberry milkshake vibes with chocolate undertones and it tends to pop up near the end of the sip. Leading up to the strawberry is all chocolate and while creamy, it’s not overly sweet. It’s nice and I might grab more if already placing a Tealish order, though I wouldn’t place one just for this.

Work got busy so I didn’t have my “matcha” until late and this seemed a way to have some matcha without it being crazy caffeine. Paired this with this week’s book: Lore Olympus, a popular webtoon about Hades and Persephone that was recently released in print. It’s so cute and the tea is delicious, as usual.

Bio

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
