Sipdown! (24 | 513)
A swap sample from a sweet Instagram friend. I admit, I was all ready for this to be crappy brown matcha, and I was very surprised when I cut open the packet and saw how bright and green it was! Lovely fresh smell too. I will say, holy crap is this expensive on their website – $58 for 28 sticks?! I mean at least it’s good quality, but dayum!
I whizzed mine up in my milk frother with some extra creamy oat milk. Whizzed a bit too much I guess because there’s a thick layer of foam, heh heh… Taste is pleasantly umami with a rich grassiness and notes of creamy nuts. Very little noticeable bitterness, but the oat milk tends to smooth that out a bit anyway.
It’s a nice enough matcha, but very overpriced IMO! I guess that’s the cost of convenience, and over-the-top healthy lifestyle marketing. :P
Flavors: Bitter, Creamy, Grass, Nuts, Umami
