(Rated out of 5 stars)
• Bitterness: ⭐⭐• Profile: Very minimal to mild. It leaves a gentle hint of bitterness right at the finish to give the cup structure, but it lacks any harsh or unpleasant astringency.
• Umami: ⭐⭐⭐⭐• Profile: Pronounced and bold. Thanks to the Okumidori cultivar and extended shading, it delivers a highly satisfying, savory, broth-like umami finish without being overwhelmingly seaweed-heavy.
• Body/Richness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Full-bodied and creamy. Rika leans heavily into deep, luxurious tasting notes of dark chocolate and subtle vanilla. It provides a thick, velvety texture that holds its weight beautifully in both water and oat milk lattes.
• Aroma: ⭐⭐⭐⭐• Profile: Creamy and sweet. When whisked, it gives off a prominent fragrance of rich dark chocolate, creaminess, and a deeply grounded earthiness.
• Color Intensity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profile: Vibrant Jade Green. As a spring first-harvest ceremonial matcha, the powder is finely milled and showcases an exceptionally bright, glowing green hue that remains vivid even when mixed into milk.
