Tea Time: Matcha Green!

 Hi friends! <3

Trying out this one I got from the Daiso store in NYC last year.


$5- Ito En: Matcha Green- Japan



Opening it up...


Single sachet...



Little triangular shaped bag...


Got it steeped up...


Such a lovely color <3


Thoughts:

I really liked this one! It had a nice taste with nothing weird or artificial. I found it interesting that the tea bag contained both loose leaf and ground tea leaves. The steep time was super short too; only 30 seconds. The price is a bit higher than I would normally spend, but it is worth it and I would definitely get this again.

Stars: ***** (5 out of 5)

June Sip Down Progress & July Goals!

Hi friends! <3

Continuing on my sip downs...







In June, I had Organic Green and a few Bentley's Raspberry Green. Continued with Cookie Dough, Fireside Mocha, and snuck in some Glitter Chai. Started Cherry Almond. Am close to the end on a couple. The Organic Green was alright, but I would not purchase it.


I bought some more tea and tea ware. The travel mug has green glitter! The butterfly mug has an interesting shape along with beautiful and detailed butterflies. Not sure what I'm going to use the cherry print jar for, maybe to keep samples or my spoons in?


For July, I am going to finish Raspberry Green, Cookie Dough, and Cherry Almond. Continue with Fireside Mocha and Sweet Tart. Start Matcha Green, Peanut Butter, Belgian Chocolate, and Paris.
