Had this for the first time this morning. It’s my first time having and making matcha since leaving Japan. I think having it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach without having had it in a while was not the best idea, as I am feeling a bit of the nausea one can experience. Going to eat a persimmon in hopes to calm that down.
Anyhow, to the tea. I bought this when Yunomi advertised it for 50% off on reddit. It mixes up to a nice green. I made it a bit thinner than what I would like, as I was using a new chawan and was out of practice, so I didn’t get the best sense of the taste right off the bat. I can tell it’s green and vegetal, though, and it doesn’t seem particularly bitter or astringent. I also got a hint of creaminess that I’m sure will come out more when I get it to the right thickness.
All-in-all, this was a good deal, perfect for getting back into practice, and I look forward to drinking it again. I will select flavors for it when I’ve prepared it better.
