Many thanks to VariaTEA for providing me with a sample of French Butter Cookie. The matcha itself smells like a smooth vanilla, more bakery-like than their French Vanilla.
I just prepared a matcha latte with 3/4 tsp matcha, some brown sugar, and 1% milk. The flavour of the matcha is definitely a more buttery version of French Vanilla. It’s also more delicate, but perhaps because I’m used to the robust-level French Vanilla I’ve been indulging in, and this may be distinctive or delicate? It definitely has a more bakery quality to it. I wish I didn’t put as much brown sugar as I did (plus I ought to start measuring instead of pouring out of the bag) so that I could truly judge the matcha itself. Next time, I won’t use any sugar at all, which is what I usually do with the French Vanilla, anyway.

It is delicate level. Also, I think I would order this again before I would order any of their vanilla matchas. It just seems to have a more prominent flavor than the others, especially at the delicate level.
I can see that, actually. I’ve never had French Vanilla anything less than robust so it would be hard for me to just, but this is definitely something I would order. :)
I have only had French Vanilla at the delicate level and Madagascar Vanilla at the distinctive. Of the ones I tried, this is my preference.
Ah, that’s great that you’ve tried all three, and at similar flavour levels. I’ve yet to try Madagascar Vanilla. I always wondered what it would be like in comparison. Maybe less creamy?
I wasn’t a lover of either vanilla flavors since I thought they didn’t have too much flavor. I know Sil prefers the French Vanilla to the Madagascar Vanilla.
Buttery goodness.
