Matcha Latte - 100g
Kagoshima, Japan
Kagoshima - the home of the purpose-grown and processed “latte-grade” matcha. Oh, but this is no ordinary latte-grade matcha either, it’s JAS certified organic, it carries milk just right and it stays colour-intense. It’s even suitable on its own.
Appearance: fine, bright green powder
Liquor: added to milk or milk alternative, green, frothy, creamy texture
Taste: with milk or milk alternative, baby spinach, green apple, double-cream
Process: steamed, lightly fired, machine-ground
*NB: Keep airtight and store in freezer to maintain freshness
