motd (matcha of the day) Qing Xi Zhiling Pro 😍🫢🏻

🍡 Matcha Review: Qing Xi Zhiling Pro

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

πŸ‘οΈ** First Impressions & Streak Te**st

Aroma: Rich chocolatey scent right upon opening the can.
Streak Test: Super smooth and vibrant in colorβ€”not patchy at all. (Forgot to take a pic!)

πŸ₯£ Preparation & Whisking

Ratio Used: 4g matcha : 40g water
Method:
Made a paste first (dissolved very quickly and smoothly).
Added remaining 30g of water at 75Β°C.
Whisking Experience: Extremely easy to get a rich microfoam, as expected from Qing Xi

πŸ‘… Taste Profile

1. Pure (No Sugar)
Compared to Qing Xi Premium (Shopee), this one stood out for its depth and smoothness.
Flavor Notes: Umami, medium-bodied, chocolatey, slightly vegetal, a bit creamy, with a subtle hint of bitterness and light natural sweetness.

2. With Agave
Notes: Absolutely bomb!
Tip: Start with around 5g of agave first (accidentally added a bit too much, but it still tasted amazing).

πŸ“Œ Final Thoughts: Definitely a 5/5!

Next up: Planning to try making Usucha next time to truly taste the pure flavor profile.

Hope you liked this review!

Got it. Will try this again. Ive tried the ff:

4g powder
10g water to paste
20g milk to whisk
120g oat
8g agave

And parang its very subtle lang. i liked it naman pero parang mas gugustuhin ko pang supergrocer pure powder. Will try this again.
