I am currently drinking this matcha for the first time in a long while. This tea was the original reason we began working with this supplier…a unique matcha that is roasted ever so slightly to produce a sweet but full flavor…not exactly smoky, but if I were to dare say, it reminds me of the roasted quality of coffee. I do, much to chagrin of my tea master Haruna, also enjoy the taste of coffee though I am much less interested in the drink than I am in teas. (Ian, Yunomius Tea Merchant)
