Okay… Many things to note with this one…

To start, I have a long recorded historical dislike of mint flavoured matchas in general so my expectations are low right out of the gate but also very informed by a personal distaste of this flavour combination. Thing two – the bag of this matcha came in my order with a hand written label, and the ingredients on the website/bag don’t seem to be accurate. They simply list peppermint. Clearly this isn’t just peppermint – there’s matcha in it too – but I wish I had more clarity on if it was ground peppermint mixed with the matcha or if it’s a peppermint flavouring…

The colour isn’t great on the matcha – definitely some of the yellowing/browning that note super fresh matcha has. This is where I wish the ingredients was more clear though, because if there’s actually ground up peppermint in the tea as well that would explain away some of that discoloration. It whisks okay – not a lot of clumping, but also not a lot of froth. The smell is… something. Definitely a cooked spinach kind of note…

I really didn’t love the taste of this one, but I think that’s largely personal preference. The matcha doesn’t seem to be great quality as it’s got a bit of a cooked spinach/briney note and some staleness – but most of what I disliked stemmed from the peppermint which I personally found both chalky in taste and a little muddy/herbal. Not as much menthol/crispness or sweetness as the peppermint profiles I do enjoy. I couldn’t tell, based on the taste and mouthfeel, whether it was just weird matcha and not great flavouring or if it was a mix of ground peppermint and matcha.

I would be SUPER curious to see someone else’s opinion on this one. Also, since T Kettle currently only carries one other matcha (a Ceremonial Matcha) I will be very much comparing this one to that matcha once I have a chance to try it.
