806 Tasting Notes
So this is not my favourite, I actually got it for Mom but she like me preferred the Madagascar Vanilla instead. So I got stuck with this one. This one is sweeter I think. It has more in common with DT Vanilla Matcha minus the sugar of course.
Preparation
I had this first thing this morning and it’s still my favourite vanilla from the now named Matcha Outlet. Curiously I couldn’t find the cinnamon matcha on there so I wonder if they got rid of it when they moved from Red Leaf Tea to Matcha Outlet. I don’t need to order more of this just yet but it’s always on my list of creamy vanilla yumminess.
Flavors: Vanilla
Preparation
This is deffo a good one. My favorite might be…almond? No, Bavarian Cream or Caramel? But the vanilla ones are soooo good, too. And for mixing with water I loved cherry and bilberry.
I prefer the Madagascar Vanilla to Caramel. I miss the Maple Syrup Matcha…
I preferred the vanilla ones to the caramel too.
I went for five minutes this time. Either I’m getting brave or a bit reckless with my steeping. I’m tasting fruitiness.. and burnt tongue. Oh wait the burnt tongue was all me because I was impatient to drink my tea so ignore that.(did not actually taste a burnt tongue) Yeah I can’t place the fruit taste but it’s definitely there.
Preparation
Right now this tastes like the good raspberry syrup that you would put on your ice cream. Or just raspberry ice cream itself…
Flavors: Raspberry
Preparation
Maple pumpkin? Yeah that’s definitely what I’m feeling from this tea right now. It makes me think of bobbing for apples actually… I’m not sure why but that’s the memory that pops up when drinking this right now… Halloween can’t come soon enough apparently.
Flavors: Maple, Pumpkin
Preparation
A very nice creamy lemon pie. You definitely get the lemony pound cake flavour out of this. It tastes like it just came out of the oven.
Flavors: Cake, Creamy, Lemon
Preparation
So after cycling to work today I needed a good rooibos blend so I picked this out of my work stash as it’s been a little while since I’ve logged it. Such a nice raspberry cream flavour. Turns out I’ve done approx. 21km (13 miles) today. Not bad but I might be pretty tired tomorrow :D
Flavors: Cream, Raspberry
Preparation
Way to be cycling to work! And what a distance you covered today too. Hope the DOMS doesn’t completely destroy you haha.
DOMS?
Never mind looked it up. It shouldn’t be an issue. I cycle lots when the weather permits. Any less than 30km and I barely notice. I usually walk 6km home if I’m not biking (except at night then I take a taxi for safety).
It’s great that you have incorporated so much acidity into your lifestyle. How long have you been cycling for? I’d get into it but try to walk everywhere, then bus if necessary.
Well when you don’t have a car it’s pretty much walk or bike. I don’t live far from my current work site so it’s pretty easy. I’ve cycled since I was a kid. I was running before that because I refused to learn to cycle. I was the only kid that could keep up with 5 speed mountain bike. I don’t run anymore but I should start again.
Very impressive, Helena.
I like how activity got autocorrected to acidity. Wow, I don’t know if I could ever be a good runner. I used to cycle a lot as a kid. Loved it, but since moving to a city, and then moving around a lot, I never got around to buying a bicycle, and the roads aren’t as cyclist-friendly here either.
A very nice vanilla lemony tea. Tastes exactly like a lemon cake. It’s also my last tea of the night/morning as I shall be getting off my midnight shift soon. Thank goodness I have so many teas to keep me company. :D
Flavors: Cake, Lemon
Preparation
Normally I do this for about a 1 minute steep. I also normally don’t experiment with tea steeps unless I have milk or something on hand to fix an overstep bitterness. Today I just decided to put being prepared aside and steeped this for close to 3 minutes. It reminds me of some oolongs I have tried but I can’t place the flavour exactly. Maybe next time if I steep it a bit longer I can make it out.
