I used it for Matcha au Lait only (matcha with sugar/honey and milk/sweet condensed milk “lait concentre sucre” these will hide most of the smell).
I would say it tastes of grass, soapy taste, strong and bitter, if prepared just with hot water. The powder is not super fine so it does not mix well, texture of powder and lots of deposits on bottom.
Not so foamy, it is powdery, tastes soapy and smells like grass.
A little grave about color, smell, texture and taste.
One of my least favorites because of the bitterness.
Optional to use for cuisine, but still have doubt.
No repurchase.
