Madagascar Vanilla Matcha from Red Leaf Tea

DaisyChubb drank Madagascar Vanilla Matcha by Red Leaf Tea

Made icing with this Matcha!
Madagascar Vanilla Buttercream. I almost wept!

There is no bitterness at all when you make this into an icing for a chocolate cupcake. Just saying – if you want to try it, I will high five you.

Here’s the recipe/pictures!!!

I’m super tempted by the flavored matchas from RLT…but the only matcha I’ve had was the stuff in a Starbucks green tea latte & I thought it was a bit too spinachy. Bad experience to gauge by?

So how do you feel about a guest????

DaisyChubb 2012-06-20 09:10:17 -0400

@Missy – anyone is welcome to my home for cupcakes – I just need a few hours notice if you do decide to visit ;D

DaisyChubb 2012-06-20 09:14:58 -0400

@Owen – that’s a very good question! I’ve had the starbucks latte you speak of, and to be honest, I also found it extremely spinachy in flavour (almost like a characture of a matcha) but I kind of enjoyed that!

I think RLT is more mellow in the flavours you’re describing – and their flavoured matcha is really delicious. The nice thing is, if you’re a bit wary, you can choose how strong you want the added flavour to be! I’m told the higher flavour levels hardly taste like matcha at all, so maybe you could give those a try and wean your way down if you do enjoy it!
Hope that’s helpful! :D

Thanks Daisy! I think I’ll give it a shot then.

Missy 2012-06-20 13:14:36 -0400

Aww you are so nice Miss DaisyChubb. :D

DaisyChubb 2012-06-20 14:18:14 -0400

Oh no, the pleasure would be all mine!

DaisyChubb 2012-06-20 14:18:30 -0400

Awesome Owen, I look forward to seeing your future tasting notes ;D

CHAroma 2012-06-27 15:01:53 -0400

OMG! How are you so amazing?!

Amy oh 2012-06-27 15:03:45 -0400

@DaisyChubb- have you ever tried adding your own flavoring to Matcha – for example vanilla extract?

DaisyChubb 2012-06-27 16:32:20 -0400

Oh no I haven’t Amy! I have some real vanilla extract from my last holiday so I should try that – I bet it would work

Bio

You can call me Daisy.

I’m a 24 year old (not so budding) thespian – just moved to the Maritimes from the Saskatchewan Prairies. I’m way too polite, aka Proud to be a Canadian. I love it here by the water – it must remind me of tea or something ;)

My favourite tea companies are DavidsTea and Verdant Tea. They please my palette in different ways – and I love them both for it.

My rating system is as follows:
95-100: I will stock it as soon as I can, if I haven’t already! Permanent collection worthy.

86-95: I would stock this tea if I could, but my collection is just too full to warrant it. But it is that good.

76-85: This is a tasty tea and I will have many cups and share with friends, but won’t go out of my way to keep it stocked.

50-75: It was alright! It was… alright! Not horrible, but I might not re-steep.

25-50: Ew. But I will finish the cup.

1-25: Please no, I want to dump it.

The Steepster community is my safe place. Thank you to all my tea friends!
