Couldn’t find this one on the Ito En website so I can’t help but wonder if it’s only for Japanese commercial use or something to that effect. The powder is more like sugar crystals. The appereance is not desirable for a green tea. Especially after seeing the beautiful color of the matcha that Alba performed during the Omotesenke ceremony yesterday. There is a bit of astringency but not as harsh as expected. Same with the bitterness; it doesn’t start bitter but comes on slowly. The taste is decent. A mix of hay, slight overcooked veggies, and burnt end veggies. There is a bit of grass notes as well. Overall something to drink if nothing else is available but luckily they provided us with a kyusu and tea. Yatta! I’m going to bring it down to breakfast with me.
