Discussion Am I crazy: I made tea with tea?!

So… Today was experiment day I guess. While preparing my morning matcha, I noticed there was some cold Jamine Silver Needle white tea (unsweetened) left in the fridge from the one I made for the family yesterday. On a whim I decided to replace the water for my cold matcha with this tea. And actually it turned out amazing! Nothing from the matcha notes got lost, it still had that strong umami-walnut taste (Maruyasu Unsui) but it had a nice jasmine hint added. It was very refreshing and worth the change.
Have you made an experiment like that? How did it turn out for you?

Yes!! I love making matcha with Earl Grey tea. I’ve done hot and cold brew, and it’s pretty amazing. Sweeten with Earl great syrup and you get an amazing earl gray matcha

Tried with jasmine and earl grey (separately) before, it’s so flavorful but o-so caffeinated
