Taster’s Review:
This is such a beautiful Matcha. The color of the powder is so bright green and it produces a gorgeous jade colored liquid that is a bit of heaven in a chawan!
I can detect the notes of berry and chocolate in the aroma, which I find so intriguing. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced an unflavored Matcha with this sort of fragrance. It’s captivating.
The flavor and texture of this tea is very smooth. It coats the palate with its sweet, vegetative flavor. A hint of bitter reveals itself just before the end of the sip. This savory bitterness seems to arrive just in time to cut through the sweetness and provide a little dimension.
I must agree with the above product description: this Matcha does have an artichoke flavor. It is a very broth-y, satisfying Matcha. This is one of the best Matcha teas I’ve tasted, and I would recommend it to all the Matcha fans out there. This is superb!
