This may be horrific but I wanted a matcha latte so badly today and asked Ashman if he would like one, too. He rarely says “no” when I offer food and drink. This is the only matcha I have right now so even though it is the extra thick grade when culinary grade will do, I used it.
Good golly, it was refreshing. I have some stainless steel cups. Made a paste of matcha and cold water in a matcha bowl. Put that in a cup with sugar and milk and used an Aerolatte to froth it. So dang delicious. Now I am out of matcha oh no I hope there is some in my stocking. (There will be. I ordered it myself. I mean, I was buying some for Superanna so how could I not? Heehee.)
Smooth, sweet, green, fresh, frothy. I think this is my favorite matcha, although D25 from Matcha Outlet is very good, too. The Harney grade just below this one is also great, and a good price for the quality.

Lol extra thick grade, what a weird way to say that it’s matcha for koicha. Doesn’t sound very appetizing does it? Lol.
I have also been craving a matcha latte. I have the matcha and even something special for it. Now I just need to have the milk and the craving at the same time.

Tea gifts to yourself are the best gifts. :P
This is definitely going in my next H&S order!

Nothing like satisfying a craving. Especially a relatively harmless one.
Cameron B. – I guess they call it that because they have two koicha grades and the other is just called Thick Grade. It is very good also and I used to keep both on hand and use thick for lattes and this one for whisking in a bowl.
Ah yes, it was soooo good it was hard nit to gulp it all down!
