New flavored matcha! Yay!
I prepared this one straight and hot this morning, with a teaspoon of matcha for 8 ounces of warm water.
For me, the coconut flavor is too strong for this preparation. The matcha is fine, quite grassy with just a touch of bitterness. But the coconut flavor is like WHAM in your face! It’s a very creamy and rich coconut, and it lingers on my tongue for what seems like forever.
I added a glug of oat milk to the second half of the bowl, and like it much more. Can’t wait to try this one as a hot or cold latte! Which, to be fair, is how I would normally prepare a flavored matcha – I just wanted to try all of these plain first.
Flavors: Bitter, Coconut, Creamy, Grass, Sweet, Umami
That’s so interesting, I found this one to be crazy strong on the flavoring!
Haha! I’ve been trying to do Matcha Mondays to use up a bunch of older matcha in my collection and I think I’ve only managed to hit Monday maybe twice. I seem to have an “oh yeah, I was gonna drink matcha!” moment around Wednesday or Thursday. At least it still tastes good even if Matcha Thursday isn’t quite as catchy.
Very true! I so rarely reach for matcha, but today it was so tasty! Maybe matcha Thursday is the real winner. :)
Hmm, I think the purpose of matcha mondays is to remind you that you have matcha and to drink matcha sometime soon. #rebelchild
