A polished and distinctive option from the Forthees catalogue – this tea is a second-harvest.
On the nose, it’s more vegetal: blue-green algae, chlorophyll, and hard sheep’s cheese.
Flavour-wise Matcha BLUE possesses a more pervasive bitterness which transforms and accentuates the high notes.
There is also a stimulating fuzzy astringency for the mouthfeel – we think these more contrasting qualities make a good match for a matcha latte.
Some of our flavour notes: nori seaweed, raw snow peas, and green apple sweetness.
The empty chawan (teabowl) smells of wet wood and cinnamon.
