I’m going to bump up my rating! I think the last time I had this tea; I scotched it with boiling water, and now I know that is a big no-no when making green tea. I recently got a temperature controlled water kettle for the holidays, which I am very excited about! So, I was looking forward to making this at the recommended green tea temperature, and it did wonders for this tea!
The first time I tasted this tea, it tasted oily, almost like coconut oil. But now, thanks to the correct water temperature, it tastes mostly like matcha – earthy, green, vegetal – and also subtly of coconut.
However, I am not sure I would describe this as a matcha cream puff per se, only because I think it needs more maple or sweet notes to elevate it to a matcha cream puff. But I still appreciate the energy this tea is giving me, and I look forward to trying this as a latte.
I think it smells more like a cream puff than tastes like a cream puff. But glad I got to try it properly now that I have a temperature controlled kettle! :)
Flavors: Coconut, Earth, Grass, Vegetal
