Strong. Rich. Bold. Creamy and clean. The Secret is the delicious matcha you've been searching for. You can't get enough of it. Again, bravo to the farmers. She's a matcha for new and old. With a silky smooth quality perfect for any palate. It's a yummy matcha I reach for daily when deep concentration and focus is required. I am sure you will agree. 

How it tastes:

The Japanese standard, as matcha is supposed to be. The Secret is our prom queen. She is unapologetically bold, strong and rich with clean aftertastes. Addictive and unforgettable.

She's the one. The Secret is a potent matcha when embraced, engulfs your senses totally. Not shy to shine in lattes, and easily appreciated by herself in a cup — her strong vegetal flavours are friendly for beginners but pack a punch for pros.

With mild umami and lingering notes of sweetness that leaves you wanting, it's a deeply enriching matcha with depth that I find myself using too much of for work (she's so good). The flavours are fresh and clean, no bitter aftertastes or grassy notes — just a strong matcha that works in all applications.

Under natural sunlight, she's a brilliant electric green. Even her texture is silky and mossy. When poured over in lattes, you wont disagree with me that it's just the right intensity of green for what matcha lattes should be.

She defines what matcha is: full of complexity and nuance that make up the "Umami" experience. The Secret is your companion when you're having a hard day or getting started.

Best ways to enjoy:

The Secret is outstanding in thin teas (Usucha). When whisked traditionally, you'll find her to be creamy and frothy. My hands seem possessed of their own accord and reach for her when I need to command attention and energy.

She's a distinct & master-crafted ceremonial matcha ready to enjoy in your office or at home. In matcha lattes the Secret makes you wonder if cafes could do better than this. The answer? No. Her strong flavours make luxurious and smooth lattes easy for beginners to master. You won't have to spend a dollar or line up ever again. 

As an ice-cream topping when made in a Koicha (thick paste), the bold flavours of the Secret adds layers of depth, turning your ice cream into an indulgent green tea treat. 

Overall a creamy and rich matcha, quite strong but not overpowering on your palate. Recommended for strong matcha enjoyers.
