WOW! The first Republic of Tea that rates a 100 score from me. I am surprised at how much I love this tea. Double Green Matcha Tea has the best of both worlds the grassy, vegetal taste of Matcha [which is an ingredient anyway] with the bright astringency of Chinese green tea which is also an ingredient. I have to say that the Matcha in this blend seems to taste a little fresher than the single batch of Matcha I purchased before.
The aroma consists of both types of tea, clean, fresh, grassy, vegetal and bright.
The color is not as bright as whisking up Matcha alone, it’s a little brownish-green, not too off-putting, it is more like a darker jade but not as green. To be honest, I think the coloring is due to the addition of the Chinese green tea, the cuppa is more of that color with the Matcha powder as a little enhancement…still drinkable.
The aftertaste is really nice. This tea taste lingers on the palate with the effect of wanting more.
This tea is quite delicious and I would highly recommend this one.
The whole idea of this is just beyond me. If I wanted something like this I think I’d just steep some green tea then add some matcha to it… I dunno… I just can’t get over it…
