This is the 100g format in the “Full-bodied with subtle floral aromas” variant. It is currently available under SKU MA-MEIK100-01 and variant ID 32182501261. ### What does Meiko Ceremonial Matcha taste like? Meiko opens with sweet, mellow top notes before moving into savory flavors, including a salted caramel note. Floral aromas run through the profile, while delicate tannins complement the finish. Its refreshing ooika fragrance adds another distinct aromatic layer. The balance of sweetness, savory depth, floral notes, and tannins gives the prepared matcha a defined flavor progression rather than a single dominant note.
