Taster’s Review:

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

And what better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with a bowl of Matcha?  Well, I suppose since it IS an Irish holiday, a cup of Irish Breakfast might do nicely, or, perhaps a plate of corned beef and cabbage, but that is something I DO NOT eat for reasons that I do not wish to discuss.  (Horrifying memories from my childhood, let’s just leave it at that)

So, I guess there are really more appropriate ways to celebrate St. Patty’s Day, but, Matcha works for me.

This is really a beautiful Matcha.  It is bright green, and froths up nicely.  I like that the froth remains until I’ve finished the bowl … and I also like that the Matcha stays mixed until I reached the bottom of the bowl.

The flavor is outstanding.  With most Matcha teas, even the ones that I consider to be top-notch, I’ve experienced a hint of bitterness to the cup.  Usually this is just a savory bitterness that I find to be quite palatable and actually nice to help offset some of the sweetness.  But with this Matcha, I noticed no bitterness at all.  And I didn’t miss it – not at all.

This Matcha has such a pleasant sweetness – it isn’t overwhelming or cloyingly sweet, but it is mildly sweet with a mellow vegetal tone.  Delicious buttery taste to it with a smoothness to match.  It is rich and thick and very delicious.

If you’re a Matcha fan, you really MUST try Matcha from Pure Matcha.  It is certainly one of the best that I’ve tried.

Taster’s Review:

Having tried only red matcha (aka rooibos powder) in latte mix form, I was excited – and yet somewhat apprehensive – to try this matcha from Pure Matcha.  Excited because I hadn’t tried it.  Apprehensive because I have never been very fond of plain rooibos.

Generally, I like rooibos ok if it’s been flavored, but, unflavored rooibos isn’t my favorite thing to drink.  I worried that this might taste similar.  And, unfortunately, it does.  One redeeming factor, though, is that this has a much more enjoyable texture than the traditionally steeped unflavored rooibos.  It doesn’t taste or feel chalky, it is smooth and almost creamy on the tongue.

As I said, this tastes very much like unflavored rooibos.  It has that same nutty/woody taste and the same sweet note that I would expect from rooibos.  And even though I’m not particularly fond of drinking this prepared as I would normally prepare matcha, I do like it in smoothies or mixed into my favorite yogurt – it adds a very interesting dimension of flavor.

Tasters Review:

I’ve had 2 other Rooibos Based Matcha Powders and I have enjoyed both of them.  Red Matcha from Pure Matcha is just as good!   It’s a plain rooibos base into a powder so there is no flavoring to really comment on other than it DOES smell and taste exactly like  Rooibos and what you think it would and should smell and taste like.

The thing that really stands out here is the QUALITY.  It’s top-notch as far as Rooibos quality goes.

In matcha form the rooibos is very clean tasting but semi-murky in the water…it looks like a latte, however, and that makes sense!

It’s smooth and sweet and I think it’s very good!  I  can only assume that red matcha’s – among other matchas – will grow in popularity…I’m hoping for a WHITE MATCHA soon…if you know of one…let us know!!!

Red Matcha is a plain rooibos base made into a powder so there is no flavoring to really comment on other than it DOES smell and taste exactly like Rooibos and what you think it would and should smell and taste like.

Having said that…

The real notable thing to mention here is the QUALITY.  It’s top-notch as far as Rooibos quality goes…in matcha form the rooibos is very clean tasting but semi-murky in the water…it looks like a latte, however, and that makes sense!

It’s smooth and sweet and I think it’s very good as-is (plain) but I am sure you can get creative with it just as easy!  If you are into Matcha Powders – give this a whirl!

Tasters Review:

All Matcha’s are NOT created equal!  Pure Matcha’s Matcha stands out!

This certainly is another kind of green and I mean that in the most awesome way!

This is a plain green matcha powder but the flavor is amazing!   I used a bit more than suggested but I really like it!

It’s clean and slightly buttery.  It’s a great green. The aroma and taste are both wonderful.

Like I said…slightly buttery but also smooth…almost velvety…and this is without adding anything, folks!

I could only imagine what a Matcha Latte would taste like!!!  I might have to put that to the test and SOON!

Have I mentioned I really like this!?
