Black Matcha is created from the stone ground leaves of the popular Black Tea, giving you a lovely woody brown colored tea powder. The aroma is quite rich and sweet with notes of malt, pine, oak wood, and earthiness. Once you whisk the tea into a lovely taupe colored foam, the aroma becomes much woodier with strong notes of oak, pine, and bamboo. There is a sweetness like malt and molasses which blend spectacularly with the woody notes.
Drinking Black Matcha is quite the adventure! It starts out like oak wood and malt, this changes to vanilla and bamboo, and then out of the blue you are greeted with a honey sweet explosion. This fades to a delicate earthiness, but the memory of that honey sweetness will have you coming back for many more sips of this delightful Matcha.
