White Matcha Organic

My last matcha for today…will pick up again on Monday with the matcha…

BUT…

I have been WAITING for a white matcha!! I HAVE to try this NOW!!!!!

This is a light brown/grey in color powder-wise…once mixed with water it’s a murky brown in color.

DRY…this smells amazing! Pure! Once mixed with water it doesn’t really have a distinct aroma.

As I sip all I can think about is how pure this is and how mouth watering and true to the white tea this is…it’s amazing!

The flavor is wonderful! Since I haven’t seen other white matchas or tried them yet and because I am enjoying this one so much I am going to rate it at 100. That could change – but for now it sticks!

ATTN TEA WORLD – Bring out MORE White Matcha, will you!?

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this Matcha!

Yeah… it’s probably a bit too late to be sipping on Matcha. But… I thought… hey maybe I’ll be alright with it since its WHITE Matcha. But, I’m already feeling myself getting that burst of GO.

This is really good. I’ve tried a couple of white Matcha teas in the past, but this one is definitely the best that I’ve tried. The others all had the same problem … they tasted too bitter… but this one is delightful. It has a pleasant sweetness and really no bitterness to speak of. Smooth and creamy and rich. YUMMMMM!

This marks the second white matcha that has graced my miso soup bowl. Red Leaf’s smelled like…well…white tea – mildly nutty but floral. As for flavor, there really isn’t much to say beyond a simple word, “Awesome.” It was smooth from the start, never presenting a vegetal kick-back like some regular matchas do.

So I’m not quite sure why I bought this white matcha, unflavoured anyway. White tea and I do not have the best of relationships going and this is like super concentrated white tea.

The smell is quite like old grass and hay, like the hay bales we used to have in my backyard when I lived in Massachusetts and my Dad had our yard flattened so we could build a plastic and wood skating rink in the backyard. The hay bales held down the plastic around the edges. Mice also lived in them. Hay is not my favourite thing. Those skating rinks were awesome, pretty big too, like 90′ × 30′ in size. Fun in the winter.

This matcha I made up as a latte with a bit more sugar than normal because I’m kind of afraid to drink it. The smell is very bleh. The taste…isn’t as bad as I thought. Still very much ‘white tea’ and a tad astringent, but I put enough sugar in to compensate I think. It cooled down a lot while I was waffling about drinking it and futzing around on Kickstarter. I don’t know that I like this enough to drink this on its own so I’ll have to have a thought about what I can mix it with to still drink it. Or give it away, I guess. Thoughts?

You can find this matcha here if you so desire and like white tea better than I do: http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/white-matcha.html

Yum! Just got this today in a swap with Starfevre (thanks!!!) I made myself a mini serving just now with 1/4 tsp, around 2oz water and a half tsp of sugar. It’s good! I like white tea a lot. It will be interesting to try in lattes in the future, I can’t picture how it would taste with the milk or almond milk, but I like it by itself just fine! :D

Red Leaf Tea’s White Matcha is like drinking dirt mixed with water !!!!!!!!! YUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this one with the black matcha. And I like this one less than the black matcha. Straight, I find the white matcha far too astringent (I had an involuntary, physical pucker). Like the black matcha, it’s better in a latte, but the brighter taste of the black matcha works better against the milk.
