Adventageddon Day 23
Turns out my DAVIDsTEA matcha wasn’t the only matcha in the cards for me because Inoki surprised me by including a matcha right at the end here when all of the other teas have been loose leaf. Not a complaint! It’s also fitting timing to get doubled up matchas because today is Matcha Monday.
I whisked this up a bit strong and thick, but it was very good. Smooth and deeply creamy in both taste and texture with really fresh, umami and sort of brothy notes to it. At times it made me think of split pea soup? A bit sweet and a bit savory. I paired it with a white peach mochi puff and though the fruit element was maybe a touch at odds with all the unctuousness of the matcha I thought the whipped, creamy filling played very well texturally and did a lot to elevate the more creamy and fresh feeling of the matcha.
