If you are a fan of matcha latte but doesn’t happy about the quality you are trying so far, you should definetely try this. When it says for latte, I was expecting this quality matcha to drink but it is very good.
10/10This matcha is amazing. The flavor is very strong and perfect for lattes :)
aroma: vegetal, earthy, toastylatte: very umami, sweet, bit toasty💚texture: very creamy, smooth, velvetyUmmon has always been my top matcha, but wow, this latte blend completely blew me away! I actually forgot about Ummon🫶🏻✨
Is this really a latte-grade powder? The bold, rich umami flavor and slight astringency make it taste like a premium blend! While it's not naturally creamy, adjusting the milk-to-powder ratio works wonders. It's surprisingly good for a latte-grade matcha and deserves all the hype!
The color is vibrant and deep green and the aroma is fresh and sweet. It has a bold, creamy, umami-rich, and nutty flavor profile. It tastes delicious even without sweetener, making me want to make another cup.No bitterness at all!I really love this!!
Farmer Mr. Shingo Wakasugi
Wakasugi-san preserves the traditional tana-style shaded cultivation method, now practiced by only a small number of tea farmers.
The leaves are carefully steamed and dried
in a Mikawa-style tencha furnace, preserving their color, aroma, and balance.
“As a producer in Nishio, I focus on making matcha I can be proud of, one cup at a time.”

"Nishio (西尾)" Matcha
Nishio (西尾), located in Aichi Prefecture in central Japan, is a traditional matcha-producing region known for tencha cultivation.
Shaded growing methods enhance umami, while traditional tencha processing, including Mikawa-style drying, helps preserve color and aroma.
These techniques continue today, defining Nishio for its quality and craft in matcha.
