I enjoyed this much more than expected! Tea fest freebie?
The matcha dusted dry bag smelled sweet and dark with aromas that threw me off – cherry blossom, pine but not quite, floral, almond oil and the expected grassiness. A very pleasant full-bodied aroma wafted from the cup with notes of almond oil that faded away leaving a base of butter and grass. The liquor was of course cloudy from the matcha and almost neon green-yellow. It was gritty, so not recommended if you love a smooth body. Tasted very buttery with a little bitter-umami and a moderate lemongrass note, moreso than separate lemon and grass. It was mouth-watering and a little tart and drying with a surprising strong returning sweetness in the throat. A second steep was tasty, still quite buttery and grassy with a noticeable saltiness in the aftertaste.
Huh. Prittay good.
