I love matcha, and I was happy to use a ton of built up points on this, since it is such an expensive tea. However, I was disappointed by how clumpy it turns out when steeping, and also that the flavour profile is not quite what i was expecting. If I had tasted it first I would have saved the points for something else.
I have tried it both hot and iced (as a latte), and I have used both traditional whisking and the davidstea matcha maker. I prefer it as a sweetened iced latte, personally, as without sweetener it is overwhelmingly earthy/grassy. Overall it is just lackluster for the price. If it were cheaper I would be much quicker to recommend it.
Also, the flavour is not as creamy as I was hoping for, and has a very unusual (but subtle) sour note to it.
Flavors: Earth, Grass, Mud, Sour

Hello! I recommend buying a fine sieve/sifter and sifting it before it goes into your mug! It takes away almost all the clumps. Also, 3 tsp seems like a lot for one cup, which is why you might find it overwhelming. :)
i really like strong matcha shots normally, and i also do sift my matcha before using it, but thank you for trying to help me enjoy it more.
i think that this matcha just isn’t my… cup of tea ;)
Was this matcha bought at a David’s store or ordered online?
They raised the price of their matcha as well.
Overall, I was happy with this matcha, when I was a beginner. I will have to try it agaun to see what my opinion of it is.
Ps Have you found a good culinary matcha for your lattes?
I really like the matcha on matchaoutlet for everyday lattes… they have like a million different flavours, and their pure is pretty good too. (i like mildly sweet, grassy matcha). Do you have a different recommendation? :)
No recommendation for culinary matcha, here yet. I drink one for lattes that is second picked tea. Mostly, because I want to drink milk.
I’m not really into flavoured matcha. The blueberry one from David’s Tea was amazing though.
