Matcha Latte!
So the last time I was in Vancouver this shop didn’t exist, but I have had some of their powder products despite this being my first time going in person. They’re, uhh, interesting. The drink bar feels so different from the type of teas they’re producing in powder form. I’m not sure if that’s in a good or bad way.
This one was a limited edition flavour with a raspberry jam on the bottom, and I figured I’d try it out while I had the chance. I opted for almond milk as my dairy choice. It was stunning looking, but kind of just fine tasting. The raspberry jam?! Delicious. However the matcha itself was a little bitter and the umami forward taste of it almost didn’t click very well with the fresh, sweet raspberry. Not a bad drink by any stretch, but I had a lot stronger during the day from other places. But at least they didn’t skimp on the amount of matcha included!
