The first we tried it at Sorate was delicious. It has peach scattered around the edge but this year it has raisin and almond and a bit sweeter . We loved the first version much better ;))
I truly enjoyed this little tea house. The ambience and decor are lovely. The products are high quality and the service was efficient and friendly.
My favorite hojicha for iced lattes. It has a bit of grainy texture but the flavor is nice and strong which is hard to find, and tastes almost like a smoky, dark chocolate. It forms a beautiful dark brown color, so it’s very pretty. My favorite brand!
I am enjoying my six month subscription of “Soku”. It’s my favorite! I love that I receive it in the mail every month.
Had it for the first time as a 12 hour cold brew in store. Delicious and a staple in my home now
My only complaint is that I sent a question to customer service and never received a response.
Great with or without sweetener. Nice taste and strong!
I had this matcha when I was in New York and it was so good I had to buy it
disappointed after trying this matcha directly after finishing my rockys osada tin. i was excited since this is supposed to be “the spot” to get matcha in nyc so i was expecting it to be good. its not bad its just average and honestly pretty chalky/grainy textured even afer fine sifting and whisking well. and theres an unpleasant bitter taste especially towards the bottom of my drink even after mixing and shaking it around to keep it from separating. i would definitely stick to ippodo and rockys in the future.
Delicious matcha powder, nutty and pairs well with whole milk for an iced latte
Love love love this hojicha. Tastes like chocolate milk when paired with milk, highly recommend
I like to claim that I am a matcha connoisseur and have tried many brands and blends in the past. After trying the Soku at the NYC tea room and taking some home with me to LA, I have repurchased it twice. It's not too umami and goes great in an iced latte. I loveee and will keep repurchasing.
