Matcha Uji

Matcha Tea by Camellia Sinensis

Matcha Uji is an excellent quality entry level matcha, perfect for daily use and for anyone wanting to discover this type of tea. Its emulsion is powerful and delicious. Its texture is velvety and bitter-sweet, marrying the vegetal notes of lush grass and snow peas to gently tickle the palate.

I tried Uji before I could stick it in the fridge, couldn’t help myself. Also, Camellia Sinensis offered me a generous 40g sample of their Sencha Haruno and I don’t think I can wait to review those shiny emerald leaves.

This matcha has such a vibrant, dark green color. It also has a thick cream, both characteristic of fairly good quality. This is one I’m gonna still put in my smoothies, and feel ridiculous each time.

On to the flavor, this is a matcha that is 50% sweet, 50% bitter. A nice balance and a remarquable sweet pea aroma and smell. If find it is extremely tasty, so you wouldn’t need to use a huge amount of product, either. It’s potent stuff.
