It’s an all around great matcha. But, it is a bitter matcha! Not for those who enjoy theirs on the sweeter side.

Love coffee on the high street.
Note: not your traditional matcha. You can, however, get matcha added to your hot chocolates. I went for the suggested white chocolate + matcha hot drink. It was very sweet, had some subtle matcha flavors. I wasn’t the biggest fan, but might be better for those more interested in sweeter treats.
