In the Spotlight – Premium Organic Matcha 2010 – Tea Review
Posted in Matcha News, Matcha tea | 0 comments
Supplier’s description:
Just as with fine champagne, restrictions in geography and nutrient levels make it extraordinarily challenging to make a stellar organic matcha. Without fertilizer, tea plants often lack the nutrients (and particularly the nitrogen) they need to produce their best leaves. All too often, this results in a sub-par matcha. Thankfully, our Premium Organic Matcha is an exception to this rule. Handcrafted almost entirely from gyokuro leaves, this rare, organic matcha has a gorgeous chartreuse color with a profoundly sweet, fresh aroma and a light iodine note.
It readily froths into a full, pale green, foamy head with a deep green body. The liquid aroma is rich and intensely fresh, without the bitter tones of lesser matchas. Flavors of stewed collard greens, steamed spinach and kale are complemented by a thick, buttery sweetness and a delicate taste of mountain apple tree blossoms. The clean, creamy aftertaste is reminiscent of puréed cream of spinach soup and the delicate astringency of fresh-cut green leaves. This package of 30 grams Matcha is both IMO/Switzerland and USDA Certified Organic.

After initially using it only for making tea, I did more experiments with Matcha latte and Matcha milkshake and the result were just yummy!
