This Matcha starts out as a delightfully spring-green powder with delicate sweet, vibrantly green, and surprisingly floral notes to the aroma. The floral notes bring thoughts of spring-time no matter what time of year it is, and the color of the tea itself helps as well. Upon adding water and giving the Matcha a vigorous whisking, the color changes to a bright bamboo plant green and the floral aroma becomes stronger with an accompaniment of light green notes of broken grass and hay, with a touch of bamboo leaves.
Brewing this Matcha and the traditional style in a bowl gives you a tasting experience of transitions, it starts with a robust kale and cut grass taste, this moves on to sweet hay and bamboo leaves. The finish is a delicate floral note that lingers, truly this is a spring like Matcha.

I’ve never tasted another matcha quite like this one. Its distinct floral flavor easily gave it away as one of our first place winners from the last round of the Matcha Blind Taste Test, but it didn’t fair as well in round 2. It’s yellow-green coloring wasn’t nearly as brilliant as some of our other samples and it lacked the depth of flavor that our winner had.
