2170 Tasting Notes
ashmanra’s monthly sipdown challenge
February 2023 → National Latte Day
I missed National Latte Day yesterday, so I had to start this morning with a latte. I’d been looking forward to having this matcha again, using Half Baked Harvest’s recipe for an Iced Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte. It’s a new favorite treat!
Preparation
The flavor is very light. I think next time I’ll add another teaspoon of tea leaves to bump it up a bit. This is one of my sipdown goals for February so it’s an older one. Still tasty but probably losing its flavor by now.

A gift from Courtney! I’m not always a fan of hibiscus when it’s hot, but I was feeling a little excited about this one with its reference to mulled cider. It also smells very festive with the cinnamon and citrus. It tastes a bit dusty, that hibiscus dusty flavor (not sure how else to describe it really). I think I might enjoy this one better cold, but even if I don’t I know James will love it!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Dust, Hibiscus, Orange
Preparation
I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or if it’s just the flavor of the tea, but this smells and tastes very slightly sour. It’s almost like if the tea had lemon added to it, but I don’t know that this is supposed to have lemon. I do taste a condensed milk sort of flavor as well. I don’t know if I will finish this one because I can’t seem to get over that sour taste.
