I prepared this tea with a whisk and bowl as I had for my matcha from last week, but I used a different bowl with a designated face. I turned the bowl three times in my palm to admire it, and I was surprised by how much more enriching this made the experience. Really taking in the sight of the bowl and tea as one was picturesque and made me feel like time had slowed down just for me to enjoy my tea.
Unfortunately, this was where the pleasantness came to an end. The color of the tea was an army green with a gray undertone. I was excited to try a sweet matcha to compare with last week’s, and I am not I fan. It was overwhelmingly sweet with a synthetic earthy aftertaste. It didn’t have scent, and did not foam up as much as I would have liked.
