I can't believe how much of diffrence I can tell in my energy just by having a cup of matcha. It's getting easier to drink too, not tasting so earthy now

Do you ever add any 'flavour' shots to minimize that 'earthy' flavour?

Sunrise at Midnight · 07-11-2018, 03:03 PM

No, nothing added. I'm trying to drink it in as natural state as possible and finding ways to add it in to other food items.

Sounds good! I like a green tea that is sold in bulk at Costco and it's really good!

You get used to the flavour of matcha after a while.

Mi||iê Måë · 07-11-2018, 06:39 PM

Yeah, I've found that, but I'm interested in the baking aspect of it, never knew you could do that!

**sunnykerr** · 07-12-2018, 05:41 PM

I think it operates as a flavouring agent, like ground almonds, etc.

Mi||iê Måë · 07-12-2018, 09:44 PM

Yeah, makes sense!

I've been having more chilled tea with the hot weather, but can't find that mango one I had seen a few months ago!

So I know of these websites/tea brands, let's share what we know so everyone is introduced to a brand new tea company!

Blend Bee
Republic of Tea
Tea Source

I clicked the first one, I love the symbol for the bees!

The second one intrigued me because I'd see listed a "Hibiscus Tea", which I've never had. Has anyone tried one like that?

The third has my interest the most for the Matcha and layout of the site in general!

Thanks for sharing those.

HIBISCUS Tea

Hibiscus tea is a herbal tea made as an infusion from crimson or deep magenta-coloured calyces of the roselle flower. It is consumed both hot and cold. It has a tart, cranberry-like flavour, and sugar or honey is often added to sweeten it.

^^ From Wikipedia.

I didn't know about that, I want to look into trying it now!

If you have any links to where we can get tea post, we'll add it to the OP for now on each Tea thread as a reference for people. I'll create something today for it.

I'm trying to put U.S.-friendly versions:

David's Tea
Caesar's Tea

**LLamacorn In Training** · 07-13-2018, 07:24 PM

Thanks Sunny!

No matter what, post away

I think it will give us more options. What is your current favorite at David's Tea?

**sunnykerr** · 07-14-2018, 06:15 AM

Having a favourite David's Tea tea is like having a favourite star in the sky.

I love their Peachy Lychee black tea, their Lemon Pound Cake oolong, their Mulled Wine oolong, the Apple Pie green tea, Lime Gelato green tea, Passion Fruit white tea, etc. And that's not even going into literally every herbal tea they have on offer.
