While I was away in Europe, we launched two brand new matcha flavours for the Summer! This is my personal favourite of the two, although I have to admit I am an EXTREMELY big fan of both and it has been very, very hard waiting for them to launch…
I’ve wanted to do a key lime pie inspired matcha for a really long time, and it took quite a while to get this one right. In fact, originally I’d been working on it with the hope it would launch with all the citrus teas last year, like Lemon Meringue. The tricker was that I wanted that bright, sweet taste of lime curd like in the pie filling but I also wasn’t willing to budge on this being a matcha that would be safe to make as a latte. So, no added acidity for that extra brightness!
I’m really happy with the final blend though! It’s fresh and fruity with that sweet lime note but also really rich and creamy tasting too, and I’m especially happy to report that it makes the most AMAZING matcha latte. Hot or iced, though I mostly drink it iced. For the last few weeks I’ve had a 500g bag of it by my desk that I’ve just been dipping into as my go-to 3PM matcha latte to push through the last little bit of the day. It’s the perfect little indulgent and energizing treat!
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
