Matcha, the focal point of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, is a fine powder made by grinding green tea leaves. Only the finest, young, shade-grown gyokuro tea leaves are used to create matcha. The leaves are plucked and laid out flat to dry. Veins are removed and the leaves, now called tencha, are carefully ground in granite mills until they become the precious powder. Easy preparation is achieved by placing 1 teaspoon of matcha per cup (or to taste) in a cup, adding a few drops of hot water (160-180F) and stirring with a spoon until a paste forms. Add the rest of the water and stir.

I’m not tasting chocolate at all, which makes me sad. The dry powder actually did smell somewhat chocolate-y. The matcha is grassy and sweet, and actually more bitter than the Adagio blueberry matcha I tried yesterday. I do taste a somewhat roasty flavor that somewhat reminds me of genmaicha.
So a bit disappointing. It’s not bad, by any means (although it is a bit too bitter), but it doesn’t taste like chocolate.
P.S. – Who are these people who review on Adagio? I feel like every single one of their teas has a score of 90 or higher…
