European roasted matcha is a powdered tea with an unusually warm, expressive character. Thanks to its special processing (roasting), it gains a deeper aroma and a soft, full flavor with pleasant roasted notes. It is an interesting choice for anyone who wants to try matcha in an untypical form.
Unlike classic matcha, it has no pronounced grassiness: the flavor is intense, round and calm, with a nutty touch. The powder can be prepared traditionally by whisking in a bowl, or used for lattes, desserts and other drinks.
