“What do you want for your birthday?”
“Matcha!”
“What?”
That’s right… Matcha. It’s perfect…. This Matcha Matsu isn’t a super high grade matcha, but it’s a heck of a lot better than anything you get at another coffee/tea shop (mostly because you can determine how sweet or unsweet you want this to be). It’s really too good to be true. I like it plain, I like it steamed, I like it mixed with ice and blended with almond or soy milk. You can’t go wrong. A little of this matcha goes a long way and it’s potency is incredible. I find myself more energized after drinking an 8 oz serving of matcha versus any of the mates I’ve had recently.
The first sip is…. earthy. I don’t know how to describe matcha… It’s earthy, yet nutty, sort of creamy in a weird way. It’s a unique flavor. I think pine is an interesting note — and it’s definitely in there, but I would just say “earthy” which encompasses moss, pine, seaweed, and fog. Everything. It’s really a blissful experience. Pouring, measuring, wisking. The key lime green color. This is the perfect birthday gift for me. Thanks mom!
