My Meiko 100g tin review
(Shipping and Delivery)
* Shipping is excellent i had ordered this on November 4th and then received in the mail on November 6th. Upon delivery from fedex the tin inside the package arrived safely, wrapped in bubble wrap with no signs of damage or dents, which I’m so happy because I’m a sucker for such unique packaging to display or collect.
(Details in Packaging)
* The packaging of this brand is excellent I love how simple and niche it looks comes in a grey tin as advertised and also comes inside a silver light-proof bag. The tin is air-proof tight so you don’t have to worry about oxidation.
(Color & Fragrant Notes)
* First impressions I was shock the color is bright bold green as in fresh type vibrant shade of green and the smell is just as described with top notes of full bodied floral aromas with little to no vegetal middle notes and on top of that I can also smell hints of dark chocolate at the end.
(Taste & flavor profile)
* Meiko on its own is light not bold but creamy and mellow with no signs of bitterness or astringency, its not very “grassy” but it is naturally sweet almost dessert-like. I personally think that this matcha powder is perfect on its own & it’s great for beginner friendly since its not really umami or strong.
(Preparation)
* If you want to add sweetener i strongly suggest to combine “Meiko” with a floral sweetener such as rose syrup. When making my matcha I like to use 3 grams of matcha powder, 5 or 6 grams of syrup, 45ml of hot (not boiling water) with 100ml of vegan milk and it pairs beautifully with oat milk allowing the flavors of this delicacy to shine through enough without being overpowered.
(Satisfaction and Rating)
* The quality, fragrant Notes and flavor profile combined with the price point of 48$ for a 100g tin is a wow to me. I’m amazed ,satisfied and impressed. I would totally recommend this to people who drink matcha on the daily. Overall I rate this matcha a 9.5/10.
