What flavor notes does matcha have?

Feine Süße
Hints of sweet milk chocolate – soft, balanced and pleasantly natural.
-
Frisch & cremig
Fresh spring green meets an especially creamy, silky texture.
-
Sanftes Umami
Delicate umami with a long, velvety finish – harmonious right to the last sip.
Does Matcha Taste Bitter?
Not necessarily. High-quality matcha can taste mild, naturally sweet and creamy. A slight herbal note is part of green tea's character, but with a good matcha it shouldn't be unpleasantly bitter.
Warum schmeckt Matcha manchmal bitter?
Bitterkeit kann verschiedene Ursachen haben – etwa die Qualität und Ernte des Tees, aber auch die Zubereitung. Zu heißes Wasser kann die bitteren und herben Noten stärker hervorheben. Deshalb empfehlen wir, Matcha mit etwa 70–80 °C warmem Wasser zuzubereiten.
