Holy moley! Dinosara sent me a HUGE package! O.o Thank you SO much, that was entirely unexpected. I love the bags you packed everything in.

So because I still have a migraine and I need to head to work now, I thought I’d start with this. Hot, in almond milk, with a little honey.

Doesn’t smell as good as Redberry Tonic from DavidsTea, which is my other “Sea buckthorn” sniffing experience. It’s really green. Green grassy. I’m guessing some of that will be the matcha.

Whisking it into water, it didn’t froth nearly as much as other flavours have. In fact, it was difficult to get any froth. Interesting…

Actually, I don’t need the honey. This is a sweet, grassy, almond milk latte. I know that to some that sounds unappealing, but I’m quite enjoying it right now.

Thanks again!

This is one of the few matchas I Iike without milk (but I do sweeten it). Sea buckthorn is an odd one, it’s true. :)

OMGsrsly

Oh, I’ll have to try it plain then. I just automatically reach for the almond milk. :)

My only Sea Buckthorn experience is also Redberry Tonic – thought I have a Sea Buckthorn based fruit blend from RiverTea on the way which I’m excited about.

OMGsrsly

I look forward to a comparison, Roswell! :) I was hoping this would be a little more like the DavidsTea version.
