Have you ever bought a tea just because it looked too pretty to pass up? I’d like to think I’m above this kind of thing, but yesterday I bought this matcha on impulse because the tin is cute. And I didn’t have any matcha at home. But also, the tin is cute.
This is my first unflavored matcha in quite a while. David’s Tea’s wild honey matcha used to be a staple in my cupboard for matcha lattes, so that’s the “default” flavor in my mind when I whisk up matcha. I guess that’s probably why I instantly reached for the honey and milk and made a sweetened matcha latte as soon as I opened the tin. Shame on me. I usually taste teas straight before I try any additions.
That being said, it made a highly satisfying latte. It’s quite grassy without giving that dusty, pollen-y flavor that matcha sometimes gets, and it’s hardly bitter at all — but then again, that might be the milk and honey. All in all, the impulse buy paid off! I’ll write an update when I try it on its own.
I, too, am a sucker for cute/pretty packaging he he. :P
