creamy, silky, graceful
This matcha is flawless.
It’s everything you want in a top-grade matcha: creamy, silky, graceful, not even a hint of bitterness. Wildly vibrant color looks photoshopped! Dominant aromas are raw sugar, rain-soaked young grass, and sweet peas. Umami on the back palate, almost meaty, grilled chanterelles. Such a long, sweet finish. You’ll want to lick every last drop.
Origin: Nishio, Aichi Prefecture (near Nagoya), Japan. Very pristine environment. The very best that Nishio produces.

The last of the Ethereal Flight from Breakaway Matcha.
It doesn’t make the biggest foam but dang does the rest of the cup make up for it. At first sip it’s floral and dark blue-green aquatic but then turns to bright and succulent young grass. As it passes over my palate, it becomes darker and tangy with salad greens, like a bit of sorrel has shown up. This is where I notice a soft siltiness to the texture mixed with a touch of creaminess, both of which provide some intrigue. And then the finish! All along the matcha tastes very clean but in the finish it’s even cleaner. That slight tang morphs between an indecipherable fruity sweetness and the lightest mushroom umami breaks through (I’m gonna have to agree with chanterelles).
This is probably my favorite of the sampler :) Blend Hikari is umami-rich, though while elegant in its expression, it has only called to me when I’ve had a craving for that hearty profile. Blend Daphne also is a really beautiful matcha but best kept for whimsical afternoons or meditation. Blend Jizo is more of a daily, anytime sipper. This one, Blend Satoshi, has a dynamic complexity that I really appreciate and its energy seems to suit both mornings and afternoons equally well.

I love Breakaway Matcha. I’ve been so spoiled by their matchas that I can’t really enjoy others anymore. I treated myself to the ethereal flight that they offer to try out some of their more luxurious offerings.
This is lovely and shares a lot of similarities with Blend Hikari (which was my favorite of the ethereal flight). Notes of dark chocolate and cooked greens. Not getting any grassiness. Not bright, but deep and rich.
Flavors: Dark Chocolate
