The next thing turned out to be matcha. Also good for keeping me awake, or so I’ve come to realise. I picked out banana simply because it appealed to me the most, but it was a close-run thing between strawberry and cheesecake. I used 1/4 tsp for my cup, whisked into boiling water and topped off with hot milk as a latte. I think this is basically going to be my go-to method of matcha preparation, because there aren’t many other ways I can stomach it. I still find it a bit odd, because generally speaking hot milk isn’t my thing either. Still, what works works.
I’m pretty impressed with the flavour here. It’s candy banana rather than fresh, but that’s rather appealing in its own way. It reminds me of those foamy sweets I had as a child. The added bonus for me is that it covers up most of the green tea flavour, except a very little bit which actually works with the banana flavouring rather than against it. That slight “greenness” is a bit reminiscent of under-ripe banana, and that’s okay with me. It didn’t turn my stomach even at this early hour. This one’s a win with me.

Candy banana! Yum! are the foamy things a candy called Circus Peanuts? And why are they peanut shaped when they are clearly banana flavored? My mom loved them, and when she was sick (cancer) the last few years of her life, I would pick up a bag for her whenever they had them by the register in stores. They are not always easy to find!
As far as I can remember the ones I had were banana shaped, but then I live in the UK so maybe it’s different. I do remember raspberry/strawberry foam sweets shaped like shrimps, though!
