This is a damn good matcha. So far, this is the first I’ve been able to make a decent Unkaku with. The powder is vibrant, soft, and well grounded. The scent is enticing. Its a sweet and vegetable with light floral tones. Its almost like a carnation scent. I placed some in my chawan and whisked it up. The drink was thick, foamy, and bright. I blessed my cup and drank. The flavor is explosive. It starts bitter and sharp with a hair tingling sensation. This smooths out to a textured floral and vine flavor. The complex flavor ends with a smooth honey and cream after taste. This was a wonderful brew. The matcha didn’t clump and get gritty at the end. It was a consistent texture experience. I am so happy to have finally found a great matcha. This is just in time for the Green/matcha TTB as well ;)

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
