Sooooo what are you thinking for % on the FE Green Tea when mixed with another flavor?
The other day I did 0.8% FE Green Tea with 1% FA Pear. It's really good. The pear brings a juiciness to the green tea. Together they make an awesome vape and the green tea is still "right there" in the mix. FA pear gains a fine creamy note with steeping.

A few days ago I was looking up some real life green tea recipes. One that interests me is green tea, with either pear or apricot or both (or others), along with some white chocolate. For the white chocolate I will use VTA White Chocolate. It's not sweet compared to FW or FLV. White chocolate in green tea is more popular than I ever knew.

Using green tea with white chocolate along with lighter fruits that have some sweet, sour/tart is pretty popular. Together they balance each other nicely. I never knew there were true tea Masters before. :)

    What would you think in a base mix such as the ice cream that has more than a couple of flavors.

    FE green tea is a strong flavor. I'm thinking 0.8% would hold up well in your ice cream base. Heck, it could possibly even be pushed to 1% and do well.

    Also thinking, worst case, the %'s of the ice cream base might have to be tailored to best suit a matcha green tea ice cream mix.

    I am planning on adding 0.8% green tea to 10mls ic and seeing how that is. :)

    I learned which teas were good and bad years ago but was never really successful with tea recipes. My taste buds have had several changes over the years and I'm hoping for better luck with teas now.

    Funny the way taste buds change. It seems to happen the same way to everyone when they first quit smoking, you slowly get to be able to taste more clearly and don't need the same % of flavoring. Later on there isn't an obvious reason. You just stop liking certain flavors and enjoy others that didn't register before.

    Interested in what you think of the ice cream mix.

    Here are some green tea drink pairings I've looked up: pear and apricot, orange (regular or blood) and cranberry, mango and orange, lemon and mango, strawberry and peach, orange and mango, pineapple and mango, strawberry and pineapple, peach and orange, lemon and peach. Also a raspberry (very light hand) green tea.

    Some of those will mix well with a white chocolate. Any of those should do well with FA Milk or one of many creams.

    Well, tomorrow is mixing day if I have anything to mix. I was going to do 2-3 teas but now I really want to wait for the FE Green that's coming by turtle. Tracking still says the 3rd.
    Any of what I've posted will also work in your FW White Tea. :)

    @charlie1465, there are even real life green tea custards, matcha custards, people love. Use your googlefu and you'll find bunches.

    Kyoto Matcha Custard

    Probably wouldn't take much to make a green tea custard vape juice.
    Now you're talking....I may have to cave and get the FE tea then. I think I'll hang back and see what you think of your current testers first. I don't like fruit teas but used to drink nettle and mint tea all the time....25 years a vegetarian until I was around 43 :)

    Yeah, me too. What % are you thinking for the white chocolate?
    I'm going to start with 1% VTA white chocolate. That way I can add more if needed. It is less sweet, will bring the desired creaminess and its pleasing white chocolate flavor.

    I have it but haven't mixed with it in quite a while.
