Got a “Modern Matcha Kit” with a teapot I got as a gift yesterday. Wasn’t thrilled about it because I tried matcha a couple of years ago and didn’t like it. “You were young and inexperienced,” I tell myself. “Give it another try.” Ok, Self :)
I followed all the steps. Pre-heat the cup, sift the powder, mix in just a little bit of water, add the rest of the water and whisk (with my electric frother that came in the kit—no instructions btw).
Strong. Bitter. Nasty.
Did I use too much powder? Maybe. Did I use water that was too hot? Probably.
One thing is for sure, I’m not trying this again till I go to the store and get that thermometer!

In my experience which is somewhat limited, I found that I mostly like it as a latte. I usually add something like French Vanilla Stevia drops. Most of the ones I’ve had are the yummy flavored ones from Red Leaf. I’ll be trying the hot matcha soon as I got a bunch (14) of plain samples from Red Leaf to review.
