Wow, I can’t believe the flavor and perfection that this matcha holds. I bought it last December for Christmas and ever since then I had been dreaming about it since! I have tried MANY of the major brands (Marukyu, Rocky’s, Horii, Itoh, Yamamasa) but nothing quite compares to this for some spectacular reason.
If I had to describe the flavor, here’s my notes:
Koicha: sweet, nutty, umami with a lingering sweetness, no bitterness
Usucha: medium bodied, umami flavor, no depth
Latte: umami, nutty, sweet, no astringency, no bitter
It’s simply just the most perfect, satisfying everyday matcha. Love the little pictures and the adorable packaging! Makes it feel even more magical! I’ve already ordered 2 new tins for the new school year :))
Thanks, Kuru Matcha!
