Bavarian Cream Matcha (White Matcha Base) from Red Leaf Tea

Mercuryhime drank Bavarian Cream Matcha (White Matcha Base) by Red Leaf Tea

Breakfast smoothie! 2 frozen bananas, almond coconut milk, two large spoonfuls of Trader Joe’s honey Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons of this matcha. Blend.

SO delicious! It was literally like drinking a milkshake. The bavarian cream flavor really came out in the smoothie. SO sweet and a bit yolky and super creamy. Just like custard! And frozen custard is ice cream so that explains why my smoothie tasted like a milk shake. Mmm, yummy! I think the white matcha is growing on me. :)

I like how yogurt makes it more creamy. Try a bit next time! :) I only have time for breakfast smoothies on weekends so they are a real treat for me. :)

Man, what does white matcha taste like? I’m really uneducated in my matchas.

White matcha is not pretty to look at but the taste is good. It’s a bit floral and perfumey but not overwhelming. It’s more delicate and not grassy like green matcha.

And don’t worry about not knowing about matchas. I stool haven’t worked up the nerve to try oolong and puerh matcha. :)

Profile

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
