“I finished this off last night. I think it was one of the best cups of this tea I’ve had because a lot of the matcha had settled in the tin so I swirled a bit of water in the tin and poured the...” Read full tasting note

The Republic of Tea is a progressive and socially conscious business recognized for being the leading purveyor of more than 200 premium teas and herbs, ready-to-drink iced teas and more. Founded in 1992, The Republic of Tea sparked a tea revolution in America with the purpose of enriching people’s lives through the experience of premium teas and a Sip by Sip Rather Than Gulp by Gulp lifestyle.
As with others from Republic of Tea, this comes as a Pringles-like stack of small, round pouches. There’s just enough dusty fannings in there to make it through one steep, but I suppose that’s the idea.
I was altogether unimpressed. There’s little aroma and the flavor is extremely flat, just a vaguely green tea taste with a hint of umami. I got this as part of a 3 tea sampler and don’t plan to purchase any more.
Soo you know what’s lame?
On BF Cost Plus had an AWESOME sale on tea. And there was a RoT that was half off and I had been wanting, so ordered two of those, and figured since I got those, I’d also pick up this since it was so cheap. The only reason I got this was because I got the other teas.
Then like 2 weeks later they sent me this tea and said the other item was backordered. I was fine with that, because I’m cool for waiting for a good tea. But THEN I got an email a couple days ago saying that they couldn’t get their backorder items and that they canceled my order. It’s so frustrating!
I ordered this tea when it was in stock. I’d understand it more if it had been a tea from like a different country that they couldn’t get more of. But no! It was the freakin’ Republic of Tea! >< Like seriously. I’m never ordering from Cost Plus again. They suck >>
Anyway.
This tea.
It’s actually pretty good. I am too lazy to actually make legit matcha these days. But I’ve always liked the flavor of it. Steeped this for a little less than a minute and a half and it was perfect. It’s creamy and not too bitter or strong. A very nice matcha.
While I’m pretty upset about not getting the teas I mainly wanted, at least this one wasn’t a total waste of money. I wouldn’t buy more of this, but I’ll enjoy drinking the 49 tea bags I have left. xD
Flavors: Creamy
