From Nio Teas

This ceremonial matcha has a fresh vegetal flavor you might typically associate with a matcha. It has less sweetness than the Sesui and more of a grassy flavor than the Washimine and the Koiai. If you like a strong matcha flavor, this matcha brings a lot of freshness, a lot of grassiness and a bit of astringency as well. This is a very high-quality organic matcha at a very affordable price. It is also a good matcha to mix in with almond milk to make a latte because the flavor is quite strong and you will still be able to get a good taste of the matcha.

This matcha comes to us from the mountains of Shizuoka, Japans largest tea growing region. The farmers of Osada source their tea leaves from small family farms in the organic village of Isagawa to ensure the tea is made with great attention to detail and absolutely no pesticides. We visited these tea farms in April 2019 to see the fields and factories where it was produced in person.

NIO Tea advent calendar and a freaking sinus infection.
Had to rest up stairs for a bit. Now that I;ve done that I’m going to punch this thing with some matcha. Some very nice vegetal notes. A bit of green beans, asparagus, and maybe some pepper but also hints of cream and oat milk. I feel like I shouldn’t be tasting as much as I am considering the current state of my sniffer. Speaking of which I’m sure there is a dry aroma but my nose doesn’t really want to comprehend it at the moment. Luckily the taste is quite good.

Nio Teas Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 21

Ooh, this is a nice one. It has a bright green color, much better than the matcha from a couple of days ago that was a bit oxidized.

This is a very fresh-tasting matcha, with a strong and bright grassy flavor alongside deep steamed vegetal notes and a nice nutty finish. There’s only a light touch of bitterness, just enough to balance the creamy richness of the vegetables.

I see in the description they actually recommend this one as being good for lattes, since it has such a strong flavor. I agree! I think it would probably be too much for me as usucha.
