"Not as strong a spice flavour as carrot cake or cinnamon bun but does what is says on the tin and tastes like a hot cross bun! Would definitely buy again."

Possibly the Best b&b matcha!
"Tastes exactly like hot cross buns. The spices are perfectly balanced, with just a slight hint of orange. Loved it. Hopefully, it never gets discontinued."
Not their best
"I love bird and blend matcha, it gets me out of bed in the morning! I have to say I’m a little disappointment by this one though - the flavours come across as a little artificial and sickly."
Delicious!
"Its a hot cross bun in a cup! Love this! Get it while you can!"
Fairly subtle cinnamon flavour
"Very good quality matcha but as far as the cinnamon and other flavours go they're quite subtle but I don't mind it"
Not for me (got increasingly bitter)
"Love the other matcha Bird and blend have but unfortunately, this one wasn't for me! The matcha itself was slightly bitter to begin with, but has since got increasingly bitter in the last month and I don't think I'll be able to finish the tin! Such a shame, as I love the other flavours and was excited for something with a bit of cinnamon in it too."
Much prefer the carrot cake matcha!
"Wanted to try something new because I loveeee the carrot cake matcha, but the taste for this hot cross bun one is a bit too strong for me and tastes almost slightly bitter and astringent. Not entirely sure what it is but I wouldn't repurchase it, though I might have a cup or two in-stores. I bought two tins because it smells heavenly, but I much prefer the carrot cake matcha!"
Not for me sadly!
"I find this matcha very strange. It is not for me. I don’t think the taste is of hot cross buns. I wouldn’t buy this one again unfortunately."
Wow! Wish it was all year round!
"Recently tried the Banana matcha and was excited to see a new Easter flavour. I wish this could be available permanently! Have been drinking as a latte and really enjoy the uplifting orange notes as well as the lovely spicy warmth from the cinnamon. Like a chai-matcha combo! Nice to have when you want to feel cosy 😊"
IT'S SO GOOOD
"It's a perfect balance of warm spices without being overpowering. Def a new favourite"
