Matcha White Tea by The Tea Emporium
An unusual and delicious tea. Stone ground white tea from Kenya. Full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Tip: Use 1/4 tsp per 6oz cup; heat fresh water to 90C; mix well with water.
SIPDOWN!
Had a small cup of this in the morning with breakfast though i’m sorry to say it’s not up my alley. I appreciate Indigobloom passing along a small sample to try though. I’m pretty sure i’m a flavoured matcha kinda girl, though i might find straight green matcha to my liking if i ever get a whishk, et and learn to whisk it properly. lol
This was a tea making disaster! I had no whisk but desperately wanted to try some of this… as I LOVE green matcha but can’t handle the jitters that come with it, so had hoped to find an alternate.
This rating will likely get bumped up when I try it proper- or rather, I really hope it does.
I used nearly a whole teaspoon in one mug, and as expected it came out rather lumpy. and bitter!!! nearly two teaspoons of agave later, it was just barely palatable.
However, very satisfying! I had a few “ahhhh” moments here. Once it settled down into the bottom of course, it wasn’t so tasty anymore. I added more water to keep mixing it up (the fork failed at whisking) but eventually there was no helping it and I poured half a mug down the drain :(
I feel bad for having wasted so much of the precious powder. I know much better now… lesson learned.
