This isn’t your typical Matcha, it will leave you saying, “Wow, so this is what Matcha is supposed to taste like!” It is a single-estate Matcha, which is incredibly rare since there are very few factories in Japan that process tencha leaves to make Matcha. However the Hattori farm does their own processing with their own leaves and the results are outstanding to say the least. This Matcha is a blend of 7 types of the Camellia Sinensis plant, called cultivars, all of which are grown on the Hattori farm. They take a lot of care in growing and processing the tea leaves, they even have solar panels that power their factory that also shade some of their tea plants before they are harvested!
This Matcha has a deep, vibrant, forest green color and it froths easily. It has a grassy, seaweed, vegetable taste to it, as you would expect with a Matcha. Where it surprises you is in how well balanced this Matcha is, it’s extremely smooth, sweet, easy to drink, and it has very little bitterness to it. It will leave you with a giant smile on your face wanting more.
