I consider Matcha "the espresso of tea". It's strong, has a distinct flavour and kicks your brain into high gear.
Used by most people for:
- Morning drink to replace coffee
- Cognitive boost (caffeine + l-theanine content)
Mentor's notes:
When I visited Japan I found a tea shop in Kyoto where I geeked out on green teas with the owner. He agreed to send his Matcha to Amsterdam 🎉
Highlights:
- Ceremonial Matcha
- Pouches (not tins) for less waste
Matcha hipster notes:
- The color is vibrant green with not a hint of brown or yellow
- I consider the flavour between Aiya's Akashi and Ten, which is ridiculously good for this price
- You could make Matcha latte's from this, but it feels like a waste because of the quality level. Then again who am I to tell you what to spend your money on.
