Finally did a sipdown of Red Leaf Tea’s French Vanilla Matcha. It’s years old, but I’ve been saving a bit of it in the freezer to enjoy judiciously because I loved it so much. This was one of the rare flavored matchas that tasted like its namesake and didn’t have sugar in it to carry the flavor. I’ll drink the sugared ones, but it’s not a formulation that I love. The flavor has faded a bit with age, so this last cup (made as a latte) was very umami-forward with the french vanilla flavor coming in at the end of the sip.
Our freezer broke, so I have to make a concerted effort to drink through the matchas I had in there. The fridge will only keep them fresh for so much longer, alas.
