I grabbed a bunch of matcha samples from a recent tea box, and this week, I’ve taken the chance to try them. I don’t follow the DavidsTea matcha instructions. I just mix the powder with a bit of cold water and fake sugar, then I add a few ounces of milk. It makes a nice concentrated matcha so I can really get a sense of the flavor.
The flavor here is super floral and a little vegetal and savory. It’s a really strong flavor, so I don’t taste the matcha itself much. Nice aftertaste – I like it more the more sips I have. I wouldn’t want it again, but I was pleasantly surprised.
