After visiting Wazuka and seeing the Obubu Tea farm in action I am excited to give this one a try and also it makes me miss Wazuka. It’s a quaint little town that I highly suggest anyone to visit but more so to those who love tea. It is a deeply enriching experience. (Btw I helped fund a bus that now runs to Wazuka to make it a bit more convenient.)
This one says it will last till 2025, Dec 4th. Quite a while for matcha. If you can find expiration dates or ask when it was ground, do it.
The coloring on this one is nice. Bright green. Soft in texture. The aroma is full of umami and a slight hint of grass and veggies. Oh, and some cream.
The flavor is very rich. The mouth feel is filling and smooth. Slight silt but nothing annoying. If you are looking for a higher-grade matcha for lattes this would be a good one. It is fine to drink on its own but it doesn’t have some of the more nuanced notes that I look for.
Actually, I might come back and edit this in another session. As I sit here drinking this more other notes and starting to pop out. The umami is really making a show of its self.
