Such a unique tea! It’s surprisingly fruity, and reminds me of cooked apples or applesauce.

Not a favorite. A touch of bitterness in the aftertaste, and the flavor profile is pretty forgettable.

Trying to drink through green teas more quickly once I open them. This was really tasty and easy to finish.

Another delicious Tezumi matcha. Surprisingly good quality for the price point. Fresh, bright green. A bit of subtle astringency. Really easy to drink.

Also has a cat on the label, so an instant winner for me.

Flavors: Bright, Fresh, Freshly Cut Grass, Green

Finished off a bag. Another favorite and something I can drink every day. Perfect jasmine black tea.

Made hot, and it’s surprisingly delicious. Not a trace of bitterness, and a nice balance between the orange and vanilla.
