drank Grand Cru Matcha (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
894 tasting notes

Oh a matcha latte is such a beautiful way to start the day, and this makes such a beautiful matcha latte. So quick and easy too, in the blender.

I have some kitchen grade matcha on the way to me, so that I can save this for drinking straight. I’m hoping that the kitchen grade stuff is as good as this for lattes, and I haven’t set my bar too high (not a lot of experience with matcha here.)

I still need to pick up a proper whisk and matcha bowl too. Soon.

I really want to. If they have a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale I will probably cave. :)

I like having a matcha bowl and chasen for drinking straight matcha. Somehow it just feels right ;)

Oh if you are considering cyber deals check out KaiMatcha. Best I’ve ever had. Don’t let the cheesy website fool you, it is amazing stuff. I got some a few years ago on a cyber deal, not sure if they’re doing it this yr though

Thanks for the tip! I have a bunch of kitchen grade matcha coming from Yunomi, so I’m hoping that will do me well for lattes and I can save the good stuff for drinking straight. If there’s a good sale on Kai Matcha I will probably pick some up.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
