Prepared this as a shot, since I wasn’t entirely sure how else to approach it. It didn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d drink as a hot latte, and I can’t drink matcha in water, so…
I was a little worried about this one, since I expected it to be very “green”, and that’s not usually my bag. In actuality, though, it’s a lot more palatable than I expected. The main flavour is chili, and there’s quite a burn! Not one for the faint of heart, but if you like your chili, then you need to try this. The kale is a really nice counterpoint, and not overly vegetal. It actually works really well as a combination, toning down the spice just a little, and providing something else to focus on as the chili heat builds…
The milk worked better than I thought it might. Creamy seems at odds with the flavour in theory, but not so in practice. The cool smoothness was really welcome. This is one I’d happily drink first thing on a morning, to help set me up for the day, or maybe with lunch if I’m flagging in the afternoon. It’s nice to have a matcha that’s not sweet; a fairly rare thing in the UK at the moment.
I didn’t think I’d like this one, but it’s actually a matcha I can see myself coming back to. Definitely worth a try!
