Caramel Matcha from Red Leaf Tea
85

This is my morning birthday latte. Sorry I haven’t been around. Have been so busy, but hope everyone’s been doing well! Will need to catch up on reading everyone’s lovely reviews once the semester is done.

I ordered this in basic grade, robust. Definitely creamy caramel. Very sweet! I’m not going to lie though. I opened my white chocolate matcha just minutes before this one and I found that they both smell similar? And I’ve had them for a couple weeks now. Go figure.

But yes, I’ve enjoyed this as hot and cold lattes, as a smoothie with frozen strawberries, and with some biscotti-flavoured Bailey’s Irish Cream (droool). Of course it tasted amazing with the Irish cream, but overall, I like it best as a cold latte.

Blended with almond milk, the caramel swirls around the almond nuances and creates a guilt-free treat which perks you right up. Unsurprisingly, the caramel comes out more with milk. I should try it with the English Toffee sometime (which I haven’t even started yet) and maybe I’ll get a Caramilk feel out of it.

I’m bad. I slipped a little Galliano and Triple Sec into my latte. Not too much though! I’ll be perfectly fine at the seminar later haha.

I adore bailey’s Irish cream ! Caramel Matcha is a good flavour to begin with a birthday.

I need to try Red Leaf matchas, or any matcha, really. If it goes well with Bailey’s it must be good.
Happy Birthday! :)

Thanks, everyone! It was pretty good. The matcha made it better. :D

Since we’re in the same city, CrowKettle, I should give you some samples! I’m sure we’re on campus at the same time and don’t even know it.

It’s strange to think about it like that but we most likely are! I definitely have quite a few samples I could give you too :)

Bio

Tea pretty much pwns my soul.

Other than tea, my other favourite things in life include music, essential oils, cosmetics, movies, and, well, knowledge, I guess. Knowledge is power.

I study languages, primarily Germanic languages, and to narrow that down even more, Scandinavian languages. Biology was (is still?) another passion of mine but something in me wanted to go down the linguistics route instead.

I like my tea black just like my metal.
