Definitely not great but, in all honestly, my expectations for this flavour in particular were very, very low – I firmly believe that there is not a “chocolate matcha” on the market that actually taste good that doesn’t rely heavily on the addition of cocoa powder to convey that flavour…
This is very waxy and, despite using natural flavoring, artificial tasting to me. The best I can compare it to is a very surface level or superficial version of really cheap Easter chocolate but without any of the sweetness. It’s not really bad bad but there’s something about it that is just very off.
Chocolate is just such an incredibly challenging taste to convey using only flavouring and this just classicly falls prey to not getting it right, imo.
I haven’t tried this one! I had the raspberry one today. I do like the chocolate hojicha they sell, so I will probably be ordering more from them when my present stash gets low.
I have to try Raspberry. I have not tried their hojicha yet. So many to try :)
Plain and banana hojicha have been my favorites so far, but honey lemon is good, too!
