For a first tasting I probably should have just made this hot and plain, but instead I went with an iced prep and a pump of agave. It was super delicious, though! Even straight from the tin, the matcha has a light but very fresh tropical mango aroma. Whisked up, it’s really quite clear.
I know the agave was doing some serious heavy lifting in terms of making the mango sweeter and stronger tasting but the actual type of mango flavouring used was just delightful. Not candy-like, floral, or even the more resinous green mango notes – just pure, tropical and clean. Like, the most classic mango to mango. Very natural.
I think it’s probably the best mango matcha I’ve come across yet! I’d be very, very curious to see if it’s as impressive when just made plain.
