In Short
Almost everyone knows matcha by now. Usually as matcha latte in a café or perhaps as green powder for smoothies or cookies at home. But have you ever really tried matcha? I mean, several varieties side by side – from everyday matcha to particularly high-quality varieties? That’s exactly what the matcha tasting at Lowinsky’s in Hamburg is all about. Instead of just drinking matcha, you’ll learn how different this special green tea can actually taste. Many people think they don’t like matcha. In reality, they’ve often only tried very bitter or inferior matcha. At the matcha tasting at Lowinsky’s, you’ll quickly notice how big the differences really are.
