Midori Spring Ceremonial EMERALD Matcha

A few months back I did a review for Midori Spring's Ceremonial GOLD Matcha ... recently I was given the opportunity to review their newest addition to the line, Ceremonial EMERALD Matcha.

If you are on a budget, but you still want top quality drinking Matcha, this is a GREAT alternative. First, you get a 100g tin ... over 3x the amount in the Gold option. And while it's not quite as "clean" tasting, of all the Matcha's I've reviewed (and this is the 4th) this option is an admirable 2nd place to my favorite (the GOLD option here). This is NOT culinary grade (which is very different .. much "earthier" in flavor) ...the leaves are still the "first flush", but to clarify, this is what they say at the Midori Amazon Site

Gold Class is harvested from the purest, and darkest tencha leaves. Hence, this product is more expensive and rare. Emerald Class, is produced from 'good' to 'average' quality tencha leaves which are more abundant. Emerald class is still great quality matcha for first time drinkers, and chefs without the high cost.

I have to say, I'm not a Matcha Snob (YET) so this option is more than good enough for me... but who knows, as I keep drinking it, I may have to resort to buying another tin of the Gold tea for special occasions! :)
