I nearly bought all three flavoured matchas the other day but they all smelled kind of weird in that top compartment of the tin that you can smell in the store. I could hardly detect any scent from the flavours in any of them, but I went with a bit of this one anyway since the sales associate said she liked it the best. Bringing it home now, I can smell a touch of sweetness in the pouch. Not an obvious mocha but maybe something vaguely desserty and cakey.
It’s pleasant with a bit of organic granulated sugar and 2% milk. I can’t taste any coffee note but only a touch of creaminess. Chocolate? Hmm, I’m trying to search for it but it’s not really there either. It kind of reminds me of some RLT flavours in the way that some of those also have a vague sweet dessert-like fragrance and taste. From memory, however, RLT’s Mocha matcha has a much more obvious mocha flavour. You can taste the coffee and chocolate in it.
