Kuradashi Matcha Pinnacle

I was very impressed with how this matcha was packed. It came
in golden box as you can see, and in a sealed tin with a tight rubber lid to
close the tin after you unsealed the tin. It came with a silica gel packet
which to help keep the moisture away. I have a very high expectation for this matcha.
Here came the most anticipated day to drink this matcha. As
I poured the hot water into the bowl with the matcha powder in it, I smelled unusual
aroma. Then when I tasted it I was shocked! What was that?! it
tasted...unpleasant. I felt icky after I drank it. I could not described it but it was nothing
like matcha!
Anyhow, I gave it another try on the next day and that unpleasant
taste has gone and it tasted more like how I know matcha should taste. I didn't
taste any sweetness as it claimed it has, which what I was looking for. It also had no astringent taste. What I appreciate from this matcha was that it did not have bitter taste at all and yes, I've also tried it as koicha and
it's fine. Will I be purchasing this type again? no, I won't. It's not worth the money.
I prefer Matcha Premium, Matcha Superior and House Matcha to this. Perhaps I
don't have that kind of sophisticated taste buds or that I happened to get a bad
batch :)
