I was lucky enough to try some matcha for the first time due to a travelling tea box that made its way to me. I loved it and decided to make an order. I only ordered one flavour just in case I just really liked the flavour of the matcha I had and didn’t like matcha in general. I love all things pumpkin and so naturally, I chose to order the pumpkin pie matcha.
I was so excited to try this. The reviews were all so good! But when this came in the mail and I immediately opened it up to smell it, I was a little disappointed with the strong spicey smell. I couldn’t really detect any pumpkin creaminess. I made an iced latte out of this and was disappointed that the pumpkin didn’t come through in the taste either. It was still a tasty matcha latte, just not pumpkin pie for me. It could just be my batch, or it could be my tastebuds, i’m an fairly extreme non-taster. I would definitely order this again just to find out though, but would probably get distinctive flavour level rather than robust as I found the spices quite strong. I will try it hot to see if that makes a difference and update my review once I do.
I definitely recommend trying this matcha for yourself and you can purchase it here: http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/pumpkin-pie-matcha.html
