I’d never heard of or tried CTF before, but decided to give it a try during their Christmas sale. The matcha was much higher quality than expected- thick, grassy and smooth! Will be back :)
I tried pure matcha tea for first time in Kyoto and I started to really like it. Tried out CTF ceremonial matcha today and it reminded me of the one I had in Kyoto. So aromatic… and I like how it is not powdery at all and no bitter aftertaste.
I was able to make Matcha lava cake thanks to the included recipe! But still room for improvement for sure.
Like the matcha milk tea and hojicha milk tea! The matcha powder is flavourful too!
For those hesitating to try the lattes due to the price, just go for it. These are much better for you than Koi or even Starbucks. These are artisanal. You’re getting a little piece of Japan with these drinks so yes, it is worth every bit of your coin. Try the Hojicha/Matcha in regular milk and then splurge for the Oat ones as well. I promise you won’t regret it. Oat milk elevates the roasted hojicha flavour so much! Rope in a friend and you’ll get free door step delivery. Drinks are safely packaged. Drink them first thing in the morning and start your day right. 😉
