This tea is just too darn sweet for me. All candy like and super fragrant. Very cloying. It makes me want to sneeze.
I do enjoy the hibby, as it seems to try hard at balancing out the sweetness. Not hard enough. Yep, that is how naturally sweet this blend is… I’m calling on the powers of that hibby bully, and even that can’t do the job! eeesh.
Anyhow. I added some OJ and that seemed to help, making it into kindof a creamsicle feel. I’ll never finish the entire tin myself. A friend gifted me an entire DT tin of the stuff so I’ve got quite a bit! Maybe I’ll throw little baggies of it in people’s desk drawer’s for April fools day. That would be fun to watch, trying to find the source of the smell :P

weirdo..this one is GOOD! ;)
:)
Sil, you crack me up.
lol the first time I ever tried it in store, I though it was good! but with the new artificial ingredients… bleh. Not so much anymore. Weirdo… is I! :D
maybe i haven’t had it with the new ingredients. I’ve got free tea with davids that expires soon so i need to land on what i’m picking up…may just do vanilla matcha so i can throw it in smoothies
5g of sugar per serving in the vanilla matcha. I might try the kale
5 g sugar per serving! Barbarians.
lol not bad overall. But in a smoothie I tend to add tons of fruit… so it’s generally sweet already and I prefer tart :P
I find myself wondering whether they have bastardized this already perfectly fine blend with extra sugar or sweetener now. Argggh, why do they need to turn tea into soda?
I’ll have to see if the tin I have is identical in ingredients to the website. No “sugar” but plenty of artificial stuff. and beetroot
I’ll have to dig up my tin of this and revisit.
