This one was exciting for me, because I think it is the first matcha I have ever pre-ordered! General InfoAs you can already see with the packaging and name, this one is spring-themed! Harukasumi means "Spring Cloud". It was very limited and is only available for a month (probably each year?), and I got it in May. It's from Uji, and works for both usucha and koicha. I paid 57,50 Euro for it (I know...). Seems that right now, my usual supplier only has the 20g version left. Color and Smell The color is a beautiful, deep and vibrant green. The powder smells rather sweet and flowery, maybe a little bit of sweet corn notes, meanwhile the hot tea actually has more of an algae scent. TasteThis is one that gets away with using a little less to already get a good level of taste; don't make the mistake of making it too strong! While it has basically no bitterness at all, the flower-like, hay-like, algae taste can be pretty strong, though not bothersome or uncomfortable. I wouldn't describe it…
