drank Peach Matcha by DAVIDsTEA

Smoothie Sipdown (233)

For the first time in a long time we had a breakfast smoothie. My plan was to add today’s advent smoothie into it but that wasn’t really an option. So instead I tossed the last of the peach matcha from yesterday into my strawberry banana smoothie. It was good but the peach flavor was lost a fair bit among the other fruit flavors.

It did!!! It’s funny because every other day I was like I should make a smoothie for my matchas. And never have. Then today one was premade for me and waiting for matcha but nope…

At least it gave me an excuse to drink up some of my other matcha! :P

Was today one of the “non-matcha” days? I actually bought that calender, but prompty ripped it open, took out all the samplers to use in smoothies, and then just “recycled” the packaging by re-filling it with my old tea and sending it on to a friend as an advent calendar. I didn’t “do it” as an advent. (Did the same with the B&B matcha one… just wanted the matcha samplers for my smoothies, already nearly used all those ones up!)

Ya, those didn’t last long in my house after I ransacked the entire calendar, heh.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
