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.
I am quite sure she would share with you! I agree, the thick grad dis really good and for the price consideration I wouldn’t be sad buying it. But if I have a coupon, I am probably going for this one. And guess what? Tea companies do GREAT Black Friday sales!
My wife just surveyed and commented on my growing tea stash. I didn’t realize (or was in denial) about how big it’s grown. In my defense – some of space is herbs for tisanes…and they’re bulky. Yeah. That’s it. Herbs. I’m gonna use that.
