This nostalgic juicy blend will keep you feeling forever young. All the fond memories of snacking on bright strawberries and kiwi after a long day of playing in the sun.

Tea: 
DAVIDs Teas Loose Leaf Green Tea 'watermelon matcha'

Is it just us or does watermelon make you smile? Just one sip of Organic Watermelon Matcha will have you beaming. Bold statement, we know, but totally true. Especially when it’s in the form of this organic mix of juicy watermelon and energizing matcha. Oh, and did we mention this is our first-ever organic flavoured matcha? We can confirm that a combo this good has never been done before. Until now. It really is one of a melon.

What makes it great
A delightfully nostalgic watermelon flavour that’s perfect for matcha newbies and tea lovers with a sweet tooth.

Made with an organic & energizing matcha base to give you a delicious boost of energy.
Sip it on ice for a refreshing pick-me-up.

Ingredients
Organic cane sugar, Organic matcha green tea, Organic watermelon flavouring.

Steep: 
I use the tea cere
I tried two scoops three scoops and four scoops
I think three scoops is best

Tasting Notes: 
Matcha smell is almost candy watermelon with a bit of fresh vegetable

Tea smell hint of sweet with fresh vegetable

Taste is hint of sweet hint of watermelon and then mostly fresh vegetable

I like it
