They make matcha by grounding this tea…Funny that I absolutely love it but can’t appreciate a good matcha.
The leaves resemble green party confetti. The little flakes are so light, you need at least 3 tsp to make a flavourful cup. It’s worth brewing in a glass vessel, looks like a shaken magic crystal snowball!
It’s too expensive to make it an everyday green, too bad cause I could drink it a lot more often. I only buy it once in a while and try to drink it quickly cause the fresher the better.
I like that it’s so forgiving for a green tea, not finicky at all. It never goes bitter, it’s pretty neutral, the taste is not overly grassy or vegetal and it’s probably one of sweetest greens I have had.
A green for the non green lover (even Sil and Dexter liked it!!)
It seems hard to find, out of the vendors I purchase from, only a few carry it.
Well I’m all out now…It was a great afternoon tea.
i like tencha more than matcha usually too! you’re not alone. (:
