I really like matcha and I really like rooibos. Plus, I’m tickled pink to receive a tin of this from an angel named Charlotte I would never have been able to try this otherwise. Come to think of it, there are a ton of teas I would never have been able to try if not for my dear Steepster family! So thank you to Charlotte and everyone in Steepster. You make the tea experience so much more than I thought it could be :)

Now, on to the Red Matcha! Being a newbie, I clumsily opened the tin and dropped a bit more powder than I had planned into my (brother’s) shake bottle. Made a mental note of the need for a spoon. Next, I put it under the water dispenser and tiny clouds of powder flew. This helped me inhale the aroma, lol. Upon hindsight, I note: it is better to put in water first..or pour water oh so gently. Ah, matcha truly is an art requiring much grace!

So I shake it, and sip it, and oh, the water’s gone down…add some more water to make up for too much powder from earlier…and sip down some more, imagining the possibilities of mixing this with other things. I did like the teabag rooibos w/cinnamon and vanilla so I think I will try that for a start :)

rooibos w cinnamon & vanilla? the wissotzky teabag was good. Lariel liked it too.

i didnt get to try it yet..was too immersed getting the feel of it plain? haha. i think the powder tastes better with less water (i put a lot of water in).

Ahhhh! What did I just drink? I guess all I can say is that you should make sure you like rooibos before you buy this product. This pretty much tasted like sawdust to me (I will say that it tasted like the sweetest sawdust from the most delicious wood) but this drink just wasn’t for me. I will refrain from rating this one.

yssah

This is a good preparation for the experience of opening a tin of matcha….has to be done very, very carefully! :D

Thank you for sharing this with me, Charlotte! <3

I made a smoothie and added a teaspoon of this in there: banana, yogurt and frozen strawberries + Red Matcha. Pretty tasty! I like it much better like this than I did as a hot bowl of matcha.

Not my favorite, I must admit. I don’t really care much for rooibos that is unflavored, I guess. I think I might like this better if it were organic (yes, there is a difference in flavor between the organic vs. conventionally grown rooibos).

That being said, I prefer this matcha version of rooibos over a steeped unflavored rooibos. The consistency is nicer with this – thicker and I like that it isn’t chalky.

This isn’t bad … just not my favorite. I’m glad I got to try it though.

PS: forgot to say thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a bit of this. Thanks!!!

Try it cold-brewed with a dash of sweetener. Makes for a great refresher.

I get my Rooibos from Busch Tea personally.. it’s organic, and if you e-mail them and ask nicely they have an organic macha too! Shhh… it’s not listed on the site officially yet.

@Abaca88 – it doesn’t appear that they have a Rooibos matcha though, which is what this tasting note is for.

I am quite pleased with this Matcha, so I’d have to say this is my favorite so far. I was planning on trying DoMatcha as well, but I like this so much I don’t think I should bother just yet _

Definitely has a bittersweet earthy taste and goes down smooth. I like to make mine a little thicker than normal, and the color is vibrant and the aroma is fresh and lovely.
Best part is, I do not feel the crash from the caffeine as I do when I drink my macchiato. Usually an hour or so after my morning coffee I start to feel drained and tired again. I definitely feel better about drinking multiple bowls of this per day before/after work, than I do about drinking multiple cups of coffee.

I get my pure matcha on amazon, I think it is little cheaper on there…

This “black matcha” is touted as being made from the finest Darjeeling and Assam tea leaves, yet inexplicably I was hoping this would taste more like a pu’erh. (This may have been because of Pure Matcha’s mention of the powdered tea of the Song Dynasty, which I’m pretty sure was in cake form before being powdered.)

Anyhow, despite defying my expectations, I liked this pretty well. I first tried making this in the style of a thick matcha, because I like my black teas strong. Not bad. I went a little bit overboard with the amount of powder used, and suspect that I should have used a hotter water temperature than for standard matcha.

Later I added milk and sugar to this, and it made a really good black tea latte.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C
