LF Creamy floral but slightly bitte matcha recos for daily use
I tried a floral matcha when I was in Taiwan and recently hinahanaphanap ko yung lasa. medyo malapit sa Toti Shiro saika pero mas floral. I asked the shop before we left pero they don't sell the powder daw. so far I tried the following but failed to find a creamy and floral enough matcha na sulit pa din sa budget:
Adoleaf (white) (P459/30g)- meh for me yung taste. pairs well with oatmilk and osmathus syrup but you need to include more powder para di ma tabunan yung matcha. I ordered the black tin pero di pa dumadating.
superfood grocer premium matcha (P429/30g)- ok lang din for the price. more bitter than creamy. foams ok but not too well.
Toti Shiro (Saika)- really good and slightly floral. foams well. well balanced din and bitter and almost no umami notes for me. kaso di pa sila nag rerestock 🥲
Little retail ph Ceremonial grade (P174/50g) - nope. malangsa siya for me. di na ako ulit
Belle's pantry ceremonial (P190/50g) - ok lang. more bitter than any notes, medyo may onting langsa din. madaming powder needed for the taste to shine and it foams with a lot of effort tho.
UJINOTSUYU Hagoromo Matcha powder (P208/20g)- Best bang for the buck in my opinion kaso wala na akong makitang nag bebenta nito online. great foaming, good umami and bitter notes and blends well with oatside and osmanthus/jasmine syrup.
Moonbug Matcha (shizuoka blend) (P700 + SF / 30g) - great foam! medyo creamy and good clean taste. pairs well also with oatmilk. once ko pa lang na try so di pa ako decided if this is for me.
Gild kili instant matcha(P250+SF/ 25gx15sticks) - parang 3in1 na siya so you cannot alter the sweetness and cream. ok na pag in dire need for match ako but it is on the sweet side and medyo kulang yung caffeine puch for me.
Cafe D'Vita Matcha Green Tea (P796/907.2g)- too sweet and 3in1 na din to. It work for me kung dirty matcha ang gusto ko so I pair it with a really strong black espresso.
Please help me find my forever matcha <3
