Red Leaf Tea’s Caramel Matcha Tea (available at their website http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/caramel-matcha.html) is the best flavored matcha that the company has created. It has a wonderful flavor that is sweet and extremely enjoyable to sip in the early morning. It’s not overly sweet, so sugar and milk could be added to make this an after dinner treat to melt the worries of the day away. This is the tastiest and most versatile of their teas being appropriate to drink at almost any time of day. Red Leaf Tea provides a high quality and delicious matcha tea that comes in assorted flavors. The flavored teas provide an interesting experience for the taste buds by keeping me from getting bored while still getting a daily dose of antioxidants to keep my body healthy. I make my tea each morning by mixing the matcha with boiling water from my teapot in a thermos I bring to work and enjoy throughout the morning. Perhaps it is a limitation of how I make the tea, but by the end of the thermos, the last cup from the bottom is very dense with tea despite mixing between refills. I often mix this with some additional water to make the right consistency for my last cup.

Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Oh Em Gee. I MUST HAVE MORE OF THIS NOW!
Seriously, I have Read Leaf Teas open and am setting up an order because damn, this stuff is good!
I have never had matcha before and I LOVE IT. I wonder what the base matcha really tastes like since the caramel in this is AMAZING and powerful and the smell omg…

So yeah. I ADORE this tea. Cheri thank you so much for sending this sample.
The only problem is I drank like 16 ounces of it this evening and now I feel WIRED.
Uugh… I avoid caffeine before bed and I totally didn’t think of this as a caffeine thing but I definitely feel it haha. Now that I know, I will try to only drink it earlier in the day.

The flavor is a rich caramel flavor and something else I can’t describe that I imagine is just how Matcha tastes. I made it according to the included instructions for a hot latte. I made it with warm milk and added a tiny bit of sugar. It didn’t need much. It’s sweet as it is. I looooved it so much. :)

So! Yes. Will be buying more. Will be careful not to drink it before bed haha :D

I really like Red Leaf flavored matchas. I haven’t done a hot latte yet, but it’s on my list of things to do with my belgium chocolate matcha. I also want to try a matcha soda (matcha plus club soda) with my amaretto matcha.

Mandy

I got a sample from MissB and it’s the best. And oh wow I have a soda stream to make selzer water and never thought of using it that way! Brilliant idea!

Arshness

All those ideas sound delish. I’ve been on their site wishlisting so many Matchas. CHEESECAKE MATCHA?? I must try!

Cheri

Cheesecake is good, too. I’m all out right now. I keep hoping it’ll go on sale again.

Arshness

Haha.. I added like 20 teas to my wishlist on that site. >_<
I love their reviews thing tho. I will use it to get many teas. nodnod
First I’m stuck on their sales because they have a sample sale for $1.49 but I could get a large for only $2.49 but I could get TWO large and one FREE small for only 4.99 but I could get TWO large and a FREE large for only 7.48 omg I am in so much trouble.

Mandy

Have you ever heard of how blending a frozen banana makes almost like an ice cream? I like to blend some of this with a frozen banana and make a caramel ice cream like treat (:

Arshness

I have heard of that. I wonder how it would work hmm. :)

Cheri

A lot of people add banana and have matcha smoothies. There’s someone else on here (name escaping me at the moment) who does mango smoothies for most of her matcha smoothies.

Thanks Ost for sending me some more of this!
I have some apple that have lost their crispness, so I decided to make a caramel about shake for breakfast yesterday. 1 apple, 1/2 banana, 1 cup milk, 4 ice cubes, and a little over 1/2 tsp of this matcha.
Even with the added fruits, the caramel still came through. Definitely a keeper!

I’ve had this for quite a while, but just haven’t been bothering with matcha at all. Um, how long does matcha stay good?

So I don’t actually know exactly how lattes are made, but I did my best this morning. I combined 3/4 hot milk with 1/4 boiling water and 1.5 tsp of this matcha, and then used my little frother device to get it all mixed up. That’s probably completely wrong, but hey it tasted good and isn’t that what truly matters?

So this definitely has a sweetness, that with the milk is almost too much for me, but I don’t like my drinks to be overly sweet. There is also a bit of a buttery flavor that makes me think of popcorn. This isn’t bad, but isn’t my favorite. However, I don’t know enough about matcha to really say much about the quality

Flavors: Butter, Sweet

Stephanie

Do you keep it in the fridge?

Mookit

I read it’s good for about a year? I can’t imagine you’d need to absolutely throw it out at the 365 day mark, though.

Stephanie

Yeah I’m sure it’s fine :)

Emilie

Does keeping it in the fridge preserve it? And I really don’t remember when I got this, but it might be right around a year actually

Stephanie

I keep mine in the fridge. But I know there are conflicting schools of thought on matcha storage especially flavored matcha!

Dr Jim

The downside of refrigerator storage is that when you open the packet, the cold interior attracts water, which then remains with the tea. The water attracts oxygen and the tea can in theory go bad in ways it wouldn’t in the room.

On the other hand, the main way that a tea ages is via oxidation, a chemical process. One fact that has stuck with my from my physical chemistry class so many years ago is that the rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every 10 degree C increase in temperature. So going from room temperature (about 18 C) to abut 3-5 C in the refrigerator should reduce the aging to roughly 30-40% of what you’d get at room temperature.

I finally picked up some almond milk this morning so I could try my first Caramel Matcha Latte! Thank you to MissB for sending me this so I could give matcha a try.
I prepared 1/2 tsp of Matcha with 2oz of hot water and whisked it with my aerolatte frother. It worked great! Then I added warm almond milk and a little bit of Just Organic Tea’s sugar. I think this is my new addiction. IT IS SO GOOD. Perfect amount of caramel to matcha flavoring. It goes well with my Star Wars marathon. May the 4th be with you!

Mastress Alita’s January sipdown challenge Tea #10: A latte

Wanted to get this LAST prompt in before it turned February! I finished all ten prompts for January and 9/10 were actual sipdowns. Nice. I finished one package of this matcha in a latte, which… wasn’t that great. Very clumpy.. too much matcha, too little milk, entirely my fault, not the fault of the matcha.
2022 sipdowns: 13 (this + Souvia – peppermint)

After I tried the cheesecake matcha sample last month, I was totally obsessed with matcha. I really enjoyed the iced lattes I made, so I thought I’d order the steepster favorite, caramel matcha. I ordered it at full price like an hour before they put in on sale, and was pretty bummed, but I emailed Red Leaf about it, and they were super generous and sent me a free package of the special offer version. Pretty freaking awesome! Customer service like that makes me want to be customer for life!

So, this matcha is good, but I ordered the distinctive flavor level and now I think maybe I should have gone with robust. I can taste the caramel if I add a little sugar, but it mostly appears in the after taste and as the matcha gets cooler. I tried this both as an almond milk iced latte and straight. I thought the almond milk was hiding the flavor, but now that I tried it straight, I don’t really think it does. I think it’s just my lame tasting abilities. I did find, in drinking it straight, that it was not nearly as grassy as DavidsTea’s matcha matsu, which was a good thing in my eyes. It’d be interesting to see what it tastes like as a hot latte…I’ll have to try that. Overall, though, when the flavor comes through, it’s really delicious with a sweet gooey caramel flavor. I might just up my flavor level next time around.

ohfancythat

It’s my fave as a hot latte :)

Tealizzy

Awesome! I’ll make it that way next time!

ohfancythat

Hopefully you will enjoy it more that way!

Tealizzy

What’s your recipe? How much matcha vs. ounces of milk? I just made it this morning and I think it had too much matcha because it was nasty bitter. Smelled like delicious caramel though. :(

ohfancythat

Aw. I just do as Red Leaf recommends, about 1/2 tsp matcha to 6-8oz of milk, plus a bit of hot water at first to melt-mix the matcha into a liquid

If I use a bigger mug, I put more matcha and more milk but the same water, maybe half – a full shot glass worth (I’m not overly specific but have always enjoyed it!!)

Tealizzy

Thank you!!!! I was led astray by one of the pamphlets from Red Leaf, which recommends a tablespoon! I didn’t put that much because I thought that was ridiculous, but I did put in about a half tablespoon! Man, it was so icky! :P Another pamphlet from Red Leaf correctly recommends 1/2 tsp. I’ll try it again with 1/2 tsp. :)

ohfancythat

Sometimes I do 1tsp, which I still enjoy, but I’m sure 1tbsp would be extreme!! Hope you like it :)

This is a very flavorful matcha with lots of caramel along with a milder vegetal flavor (which you would expect from a matcha). The caramel is mellow and smooth and very satisfying. It is sweet but I should expect that from a caramel. Not much to say about my rating from the previous note (95). Still good. I have a ton of matcha here with both the Matcha TTB and my order from Red Leaf Tea. I’m in heaven! (In the good way…. not dead and sent to heaven. Instead, happy as all heck.) :D
