Navitas

My mom bought this matcha. She doesn’t listen to me and store it properly. But according to the bag she is storing it properly. Granted even with proper storage this matcha wouldn’t be considered anything over lower grade. Culinary. Maybe slightly premium. If you are using western grading.
Color: muted green.
Aroma: metallic
Made for latte
The flavor is bad. Can’t do on its own. Metallic. Harsh winter veggies that have become bitter.

I was simply gnawing on goji berries like they are raisins all these years until someone reintroduced them to me last week as something that can be brewed as a tea (and eaten). Added to my pot w/ some fresh sliced ginger.

This is a baller winter beverage. After months of mostly drinking puer and some green and heicha to break up the monotony, ginger goji tea is a flavor party. All of my sessions for the next week will perhaps stink of ginger, but that is not necessarily a bad thing during flu season. Anything to ward off the sniffles.
