Well-balanced, smooth finish
This was my first time buying a ceremonial matcha, and I was delighted by the Matcha Okumidori. It has... a deep almost blue-green color and fine texture. The fragrance is very nice, with an almost salty, sea spray quality to it, along with the signature smell of matcha. It has a perfect balance between deep umami and slightly sweet, with a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste, which I appreciate. Even when not put in a latte it has an approachable, smooth texture and flavor that I enjoy greatly.
Wonderful sweet smell in the bag. Brewed product is sweet(in a natural sense), smooth and slightly oceanic.... Umami for sure. Brewed matcha also has this wonderful smell of oolong. Beautiful experience. No bitterness.
