Well this is not what I expected. Nope not one bit. It IS however… deeeeelisio!
Made cold, I like it best, as seems to be the case with all the matcha I make. Trouble is, I prefer hot drinks over cold.
I wonder what would happen if I made this via shaken bottle and then warmed it up? shrugs
In any case, I just had a cuppa this one with a dash of agave and milk. I quite like it! oh yes, it really hits the spot. Warm, it’s a simple caramel sweetness, but cold, it takes on a buttery fresh feel that makes me swoon.
I think it’d go really well as a latte, perhaps using almond milk? Hmmm yes that would be perfect. I think it would really pick up on the sugary note.
I mixed this with strawberry as well and it was ok, I just prefer them when made separately. Or atleast with the caramel. Waiting to see what this does with Cheesecake!
So for this one I got Basic grade, Robust flavouring, and a small package. Next time, I think I’ll go with Royal grade as the basic is a little musty for my liking. Still awesome of course!

I prefer hot drinks to cold especially with tea! although I only drink the cola matcha cold (preferably with ice) to get that Pop/Soda feeling :D (also great with pizza, hot dogs, etc..)
ohhh yah that sounds amazing.
Have you tried it with fizzy water?
Nope but then I’ve never tried fizzy water at all :D however if you drink it cold it tastes like the water has been carbonated (fizzified) even though it hasn’t don’t ask me how they do it but it’s cool :D No flat pop taste here which is more than I can say for other pop type teas :D
I’m SO into almond milk recently! I drink practically all my matcha now with almond milk, especially VANILLA almond! That allows me to get away with half the sweetener I would normally use, too!
I keep meaning to pick some up but keep forgetting!!
Helena, that sounds amazing. Ugh so many matchas to buy!!
I use almond milk too, but the unsweetened kind. It does work well. I also found some unsweetned coconut milk I’m going to try tomorrow.
I have to order an extra tin of this one. Hubby LOVES it!
I’ve been dreaming about it all weekend! I found a cheap frother in the cupboard and decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, 1% milk was too much and left barely any butterscotch flavour. Maybe I need to double the strength in a latte?
Ashmanra, it is SO good! next time, I m getting a large :P
