This Matcha, from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is the very embodiment of spring. Its coloring is a rich, pale green that transfers from the powder to the foaming cup full. The aroma is the epitome of spring, it has a clean dewy grass aroma with sweet notes of newly opened flowers and sweet hay. It very much so has that ‘new growth’ aroma you expect in early spring. Once the Matcha has been whisked, the aroma goes from early to late spring with clear notes of honeysuckle, fresh grass, and a touch of creaminess.
Summing this Matcha up in one word: refreshing, but who wants a one word description? It starts off with a very subtle sweetness before it transfers to a robust vegetal and grassy taste. There is very little bitterness, just clean, rich vegetation taste. At the finish of the sip there is a hint of nuttiness and sweetness that lingers as an aftertaste.
The company was formarly known as “Red Leaf Tea”, but is now known as “Matcha Outlet.”
