finally reuniting with one of the good matchas. this matcha has been sitting in the freezer for quite a long time. after i first opened it and filmed some content with it, i put it straight back in the freezer, and it ended up staying there for months. today was finally the day i got to taste it again. 🤭 i made myself a matcha latte and topped it with honey-buttered cereal, and honestly, i enjoyed it so much. the matcha and the honey-buttered cereal complemented each other really well. also, i just wanted to say thank you to @hojimatcha.ph , for sending me these sifties. ⭐️🌙 a little backstory: i was filming some content before and used a sifter i bought from another brand. at some point, it suddenly bounced and disappeared. after filming and cleaning everything up, i went to bed to check the footage and start editing. around that same time, hoji had just released their “sifties”, and i thought the designs were so cute that i went to their tiktok shop and added a few of my favorites to my cart. little did i know, hoji had actually messaged me to send me two of their sifties. the timing was honestly perfect because i had just lost my old sifter. thank you so much, hoji!★彡 — matcha: yame, fukuoka matcha beads: star & moon chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop milk: @oatbedient.ph @oatbedient •• #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday [matcha • matcha lover • matcha latte • matcha of the day • recipe • home cafe] by @gelsmatcha

the aroma is sweet, creamy, and floral, with a soft fragrance that makes you want to give it a try. as usucha, it has a citrusy profile with a silky texture that feels smooth on the palate. the citrus notes add a refreshing brightness to the overall taste. as a latte, it brings out chocolatey and nutty flavors, complemented by a subtle hint of floral notes. everything comes together in a well-balanced cup with a creamy mouthfeel and no bitterness. both preparations have their own character, but the latte really highlights how beautifully these flavors work together. — matcha: shizen - @thematchacentral.ph chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop beads: @arayaclayandcraft sifter: @hikariandfoam — disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday [matcha • matcha lover • matcha latte • matcha of the day • recipe • home cafe] by @gelsmatcha

this matcha has been sitting in my the fridge for months now, and i’m finally giving it a try. the first thing i noticed when tasting it as usucha was the noticeable bitterness, followed by mild umami and vegetal notes. there were also hints of floral notes, with a soft nutty finish that stayed on the palate. as a latte, the flavor becomes lighter and more balanced. the bitterness is still present but less pronounced, with a touch of umami and vegetal notes coming through. the mouthfeel is creamy, although there’s a slight graininess and a bit of astringency but it’s not bothering. overall, i find the latte profile more mellow compared to usucha, with the milk softening some of the stronger notes while still allowing the matcha’s character to come through. i think it’s a good option for an everyday latte, especially if you enjoy a balanced matcha flavor with a bit of bitterness and vegetal notes without being too intense. — matcha: shizuku - @matchabear.ph chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop beads: @arayaclayandcraft ~•~ disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday [ matcha • matcha lover • matcha latte • matcha of the day • recipe • home cafe ] by @gelsmatcha

i didn’t expect to like this one because i’m not usually a fan of yabukita, but this one is different. the dry aroma is slightly vegetal with a hint of grassiness. while whisking, the vegetal notes become softer and i start getting subtle floral and creamy notes. as usucha, the bitterness becomes more noticeable, along with a light floral note. it also has a creamy mouthfeel. the bitterness is there, but it’s not too strong or bothersome for me. it actually becomes quite nice once you get used to the flavor. as a latte, it’s very creamy and smooth. the bitterness is still slightly present, but it’s well balanced with the milk and doesn’t come across as harsh. no astringency or drying aftertaste for me. overall, i find this pretty easy to drink, especially as a latte. if you’re new to matcha and prefer something smooth and creamy without too much astringency, i think this would be a good one to start with. —— matcha: yabukita - @focha.ph chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop beads: @its.aprilmay_ • @qingxi.matcha sifter: @hikariandfoam coaster: @homeguds ~•~ disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday [ matcha • yabukita • cultivar • matcha latte • recipe ] by @gelsmatcha

the dry aroma is slightly vegetal, but once whisked, it turns more nutty and creamy. as usucha, it has a light bitterness with a soft, delicate umami. it’s pretty light and easy to drink, but still has enough flavor to enjoy on its own. the aroma also becomes more noticeable after whisking, with the nutty and creamy notes coming through more than the initial vegetal scent. as a latte, the nutty and chocolatey notes really come through. it has a natural sweetness of its own, so i honestly didn’t feel the need to add any sweetener. it becomes very creamy and smooth, with no bitterness or astringency. overall, i enjoyed this one more as a latte. i think it works really well if you prefer a soft umami, creamy, naturally sweet matcha with nutty and slightly chocolatey notes. — matcha: okumidori - @matchakudasai_aus •use code “ GELSMATCHA “ for a discount! 😉💰• chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop sifter and spoon: @hikariandfoam sifting beads: @qingxi.matcha ** disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday by @gelsmatcha

the aroma is very roasted, creamy, and caramel-like, with a hint of cocoa. taste-wise, it’s chocolatey with little to no bitterness, and i’m getting this subtle peanut butter-like note that i really enjoyed. i kept it simple and just used full cream milk, and honestly, the hojicha really shines through this way. i also made a hojicha sesame cream to put on top, and the nutty sesame flavor complemented the hojicha so well. 🤎 such a simple hojicha latte, but the flavors work so nicely together. — hojicha: kuro - @juri.matcha chawan: @carlabrampottery sifting beads: @its.aprilmay_ sifter: @hikariandfoam syrup: @sunnyborisdaily #hojicha #recipe #homecafe #reels #drinks by @gelsmatcha

trying these three matchas from @naokimatcha each one has a really different profile. the barista pro blend is smooth with subtle sesame notes, the fragrant yame is deeper and more roasty with a nutty sweetness, while the chiran harvest is mellow, sweet-savory, and umami-forward with hazelnut notes. i honestly enjoyed all three, but the chiran harvest stood out to me the most. it has that smoothness and umami that i really like in matcha. — #matcha #matchalatte #matchalover #reels #matchaoftheday by @gelsmatcha

coconut jasmine tea matcha 🍵🥥🌸 for this one, i brewed jasmine tea first and let it cool, then mixed it with coconut and cold-whisked matcha with jasmine syrup for extra sweetness. the aroma is lightly floral. taste-wise, it’s smooth, slightly sweet, and floral, but the matcha still comes through. the jasmine and coconut together make it taste really light and refreshing. it’s surprisingly good! i honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this combo as much as i did, especially served with a lot of ice! 🤭 — matcha: aoarashi - @marukyu.koyamaen_official tea leaves: @silkleaftea chawan: @hario_official syrup: @_ofc.cafe sifter: @hikariandfoam #matchatea #matcha #coconutmatcha #reels #tea by @gelsmatcha

double hojicha latte 🤎 the hojicha has a roasted caramel aroma with hints of cocoa and nuttiness. taste-wise, it’s very roasty, chocolatey, and has a nice caramel note. there’s also a pleasant graininess that gives it a little more depth, but it’s not overpowering. overall, it’s super smooth, velvety and no bitterness. for the hojicha cream, i used all-purpose cream, tiramisu syrup, hojicha powder, and a little amount of milk. once combined with the latte, the roasted hojicha and creamy tiramisu flavors work so well together. honestly, this is one of my favorite hojicha recipes so far. definitely something i’d reach for when i’m craving something roasty, creamy, and sweet.. — you can use my code “ GELSMATCHA10 “ for you to get discount when you purchase! 😉 hojicha: kaho - @matchakudasai_aus chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop syrup: @sunnyborisdaily sifter: @hikariandfoam sifting beads: @its.aprilmay_ milk: @wantwantph ~ #hojicha #recipe #homecafe #reels #drinks by @gelsmatcha

when it’s okumidori, you already know it won’t disappoint. 🍵 upon opening, i immediately got a hint of cocoa in the aroma. then while whisking, the creamy aroma came out, with just a very slight hint of vegetal notes. i tried it as an usucha first and honestly, i was surprised. it’s very umami-forward, smooth, silky, and creamy, with a strong chocolatey taste and just a hint of nuttiness. the chocolatey taste really stood out for me, and there was no bitterness or astringency at all. then i tried it with full cream milk, and it became even creamier while still keeping those rich umami and chocolatey taste. definitely a matcha i’d enjoy both on its own and as a latte. the packaging also suggested 5g agave plus a pinch of salt, so i tried that too. it made the matcha bolder, richer, and brought out even more of that deep chocolatey flavor. ❤️🥰 — matcha: okumidori - @akamatcha_ chawan: @carlabrampottery @carlabrampotteryshop sifter: @hikariandfoam sifting beads: @its.aprilmay_ ~ • ratio • 3.5g matcha 15ml hot water 75°c for the paste 20ml hot water 75°c 100ml milk (optional) pinch of salt 5g agave or any sweetener ~ disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday by @gelsmatcha

the aroma is grassy and fresh. once whisked, it becomes more creamy and sweet, almost like sweet corn. i used almond milk for this one, which is actually my first time using almond milk with matcha, and i really liked how it turned out. it made the matcha really creamy and smooth, with a mild umami and a slightly grassy and vegetal aftertaste. no astringency at all. i first tried it with just the matcha and almond milk, and i already liked how it tasted. then i added 5g of agave, and i think it made the flavors more balanced and brought out the sweetness even more. — matcha: @nio_japanese_green_tea chawan: @carlabrampottery sifting beads: @its.aprilmay_ sifter: @hikariandfoam chasen charms: @her_matcha_ • @cups.by.chail milk: @glico_ph disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday by @gelsmatcha

upon opening, the aroma is fresh and grassy with a hint of nuttiness. it has that fresh green aroma that feels really clean and inviting. at first, the taste is just a mild umami, with a really smooth and silky texture. but as the ice melts down, the flavor becomes more noticeable and the umami starts to come through more. it develops into a more umami-forward profile with a really nice nuttiness. it’s still really, really smooth, with no bitterness and no astringency. it’s definitely on the lighter-bodied side, but i think it works really well as an everyday matcha, especially for lattes. light and easy to drink at first, but the flavor becomes more pronounced as it opens up. — matcha: mori - @adeamatcha chasen charms: @her_matcha_ • @cups.by.chail sifting beads: @its.aprilmay_ disclaimer: not a professional, just sharing my personal experience with this matcha. #matcha #matchalover #matchalatte #reels #matchaoftheday by @gelsmatcha
