Sakura has become my daily usucha. I enjoy seeing the thick froth it whisks into. Every bowl is smooth and refreshing, with sweet floral umami and no bitterness nor astringency. It's not gritty like some matcha that are not stone ground. It sounds like I'm taking the marketing blurb from Wabi's website, but no, it is actually my thoughts when sipping the usucha. On a warm day, I poured the warm whisked usucha into a glass of ice and loved it.
Already repurchased!
Great on its own as a strong tea, or poured over milk. Mild, but deep flavor. Love it!
I have been enjoying Haru and Eiko as latte and got curious what Tsubaki would be like. I find Tsubaki quite bold and fruity and great for latte. It had a bit of astringency at the end compared to Haru. I’m surprised at the quality I get for such a reasonable price!
Currently a favourite item of mine. It makes my work week easier to make matcha without depending on too many tools
