Ginger Ale Matcha from Red Leaf Tea
84

I really only got this for nostalgia-factor! Canada Dry – all the way!

Yes…this smells and tastes like Ginger – the verdicts is still out on the “Ale” part tho…

BUT…it also has an aroma to it that resembles a “just vacuumed” type smell.

As it cools – the ginger taste grows even stronger. If I hold my breath, stand on one foot, and quack like a duck while crossing my eyes – perhaps I can get a little bit of that “ale” of the Ginger Ale type taste to it.

I won’t fault it for not being perfect – I can only image how hard the texture and flavor-pop “ale” would be to re-create…especially in a matcha!

Overall…this is darn good. Even with my goofy description. I’m pleased with this – it sure is an eye opener!

“If I hold my breath, stand on one foot, and quack like a duck while crossing my eyes…”

This image is now burned on my brain. I will forever imagine you reviewing every tea in this manner. :D

How about steeping it in minimal water, then mixing it with some sparkling water? :D

I’m so torn on this flavor. I WANT to get it, but I worry it won’t be as awesome as Cola.

Rachel…I would say it’s more of a Ginger Ale went flat taste…not carbonated-esque…hope that helps :)

I ended up getting it and I have to echo your sentiments. Definitely ginger, but not ale, and a tad disappointing :(

I might lower the rating a bit if I can’t ‘make it a bit better’
