Hey everyone! Today I'm talking to you about Eggnog Matcha! It's by Red Leaf Tea! You may remember that I blogged about a different one of their flavors the other day... their Caramel Matcha flavor! (Review here!)
Let's start by talking about what Matcha is:
Let's start by talking about what Matcha is:
What is Matcha? It’s a special green tea powder and the healthiest green tea on earth.
Why? Usually you steep green tea only to drink the water and throw away the leaves that carry the most nutrients. When drinking Matcha powder you drink the water AND the powdered green tea leaves.
Now let's look at what the company says about this particular flavor:
Despite its name, eggnog is a delicious and sweet drink which can be combined with other beverages to make it truly delicious and unforgettable. Combined with exotic Matcha, Eggnog Matcha can easily become a favorite especially at many social occasions where people want to appear trendy and adventurous at the same time. This interesting and sweetish vanilla-like drink is perfectly blended to suit many audiences both young and old and because of its lingering taste, can be very sumptuous on the palate. It can be taken both night or day depending on the audience and occasion.
Eggnog Matcha, despite its name, does not taste at all like eggs but borders more on the taste of vanilla or even custard. This taste is refined by the balancing effect of Matcha to make a mellow treat that is very pleasurable for the palate. Its thick creamy feel in the mouth makes it an easy favorite for those wanting to treat their palates to pure leisure and unforgettable pleasure. It can be an excellent companion to many snack alternatives because of its sweet base and sumptuous feel on the palate. Eggnog Matcha is a heavenly snack for those occasions where guests deserve to relax and enjoy a full bodied sensation on their palates.

The Review:
I am a huge eggnog drinker. Like as soon as the "season" starts there's a bottle or carton of it in the house and stays so until the end of the season (boo! It happens to be upon us!). When I saw this, I knew I HAD to try it. If I could get eggnog flavor throughout the year and it be healthier for me.... then where's the problem?!
My thoughts... There is the flavor of eggnog in it. It isn't strong. I personally LOVE the flavor so more flavoring would make me happier. I also have a sweet tooth and don't drink most warm beverages with sugar added to them. I didn't try it cold, although I might in the future!
I like it. It gives you the eggnog flavor, but also that green tea flavor. Sounds weird, right? Nope. It's still tasty. The first cup I did, I over-sweetened it. Although I did try it without any sugar, but I had to add it.
For those of you that like subtle flavors, this is defninitely the company for you! They add gentle flavoring. I hope they make an option to pick your own level of flavor- mine would be BURSTING! :)
