Thanks, NayLynn, for sending me this sample in the gigantic package of tea you sent my way! Honestly folks, this woman is beyond generous.
I’m always excited to try new matcha, and I’d planned to try this today anyway. When I woke up feeling as though I was taking a bath with the devil in hell, I thought this was as good a time as any. I have no idea why our place was so hot last night, but at least I had a cold drink instead of a hot one. I had this in cold milk, and probably should have blended it for a bit longer, as there was still some powder floating around in the milk once I was done. I could drink most of it, though.
Had I not known this was bubblegum flavoured, I don’t know that I would have necessarily identified it as such, although it is certainly more of a candied sweet taste as opposed to a more generic sweet taste, so there’s that. And it was enjoyable and certainly not at all offensive or anything, but so far at least I don’t think I’ll be including it in my eventual RLT order. I’ve got enough to try again though, and so I’ll probably do just that. It made for a refreshing first glass of milk in the morning, and I’m so glad for the chance to try it. Thanks, Nay Lynn!
Also, let’s be honest: every time I drink matcha I’m inevitably comparing it to the bananas and cream flavour, and to date none has really lived up to that one quite yet.
Thanks again, Nay Lynn!

I always have to scratch my head when I see a Bubblegum flavored tea (of any variety), it’s a “flavor” that I would have never thought to put in a tea and I just can’t quite wrap my mind around it…
As for the heat, I’ll take it! We’ve got snow in the forecast for the weekend and as such I’ll take any warmth I can get!
You know, it’s a flavor that I bet could do remarkably well in tea, although this is my first experience with it. As for the heat, I’d take outdoor heat anyday—but this was just inside the house and it was at night which was awful. But yes—we’re hoping for warm weather here, too. The weather has just been so miserable.
