Today's Red Leaf Tea Special

yay!

Did you get my e-mail?

yes. about to reply.

That is what I plan to do. I tested the white teas yesterday and had my daughter join me for a second opinion. We tried it hot and prepared in the traditional manner, then as a latte with milk and honey. I will try to do the black matcha today and the green matcha tomorrow, I think.

I tried the 3 greens today and depending on my schedule, will do the blacks next, then the whites. I wanted to do a side by side comparison of the greens, and like you, there is only so much matcha I can handle in one day!

ahh good, was wondering that as well

What TC said! ty for clarifying.

Non re-sealable packages. I really suggest getting at least a couple of tins then replacing the matcha with a new flavor when you drink one down. The tins not only house the matcha but have really nice screw top lids that keep you from spilling the matcha powder when opening them up.
There are other tins I have tried in the past but I always managed to spill the power before I tried these screw top tins.

Absolutely your very welcome and it is so cool you got resealable bags now! I would still recommend the tins though if you are totally messy like me lol. I can always manage to find a way to spill even whole leaf tea from bags :)
With powdered matcha – the tins are a MUST have for me.

I have to agree with Azzrian! The tins are great to have a few of. The only reason i’m excited for the re-sealable bags is when i purchase a large size, as my tins don’t hold that much matcha…so the resealable would make it easier to store the last little bit until the tin can hold the rest of it :)

I’m also a tin user…transfer my matcha over to the tins as soon as I get it in.

I re-use previous matcha tins myself. Have only 2 currently, placing more orders for matcha in tins next month at latest though. It is a small collection I am hoping to grow.

you can request new flavors of matcha??! I have soooo many ideas!

(though they are obscure and likely not going to have mass appeal potential)

Well its not like he asked recently or anything but awhile back he sure did and he got many of the flavors we asked for. :) I figured it could not hurt to try! If a flavor gets enough interest maybe it will happen! :)

cool!

i second marshmallow matcha! Mmmm.. smore matcha!!!!

Ok, here the story on the new flavors. A while back I requested some new flavors from our supplier since they owed me a favor and they agreed to make some. Unfortunately, after a few months of waiting and asking for updates, I decided to get my money back since I did not see much of a chance of getting them. Which is sad since I was looking forward to trying Fire Roasted Marshmallow flavor :-(
But I was able to get at least some new flavors. Next week I will have Apple Pie Matcha and Rich Berry Pie Matcha.
Panettone Matcha and Mandarin Matcha will be next.
I tried to get the flavors you requested but I could not make it happen. Sorry…

Awee its not your fault! No need to apologize. Fire roasted marshmallow would have been wonderful but these flavors sound great too! What is panettone anyway? I will google :)
Apple Pie and Berry Pie here I come!!!! :)

I just got mine a week ago and I’ve been away and really busy with midterms, I’ll hopefully have them all tried by mid-week.

I still have to pick mine up from the border store where I had it shipped. Waiting on one more package, which should arrive this weekend.

I think it’s a lot of matcha to try so quickly—I know I still have one left to try tonight! I’ve been trying to not rush through them so they don’t all run together.

I’m a little over half way through. I was trying to power through but then got serious caffeine overload and pulled back. I’ll have my survey thingy in sometime this week. I’m trying each one at least once straight up and once as a latte.

thank you for the update. I will wait…

Wish I had seen it in time. I would have had the things in the next day. Addicted to caffeine? Very much so.

I gotta do the green matchas this week – though I need lots of planning to ensure it be the right day to have that much matcha in me!

Just wanted to update you, I got my package from the border and I’ll start my tasting tomorrow! :)

MMmmmmmm

Is the 30% off just on those two?

I will have another promo available tomorrow -Friday, but on a different flavor.

Due to some technical problems earlier, we decided that the promo will be extended till midnight today, in case someone still wants to take advantage of it.
