Green Tea
Herbal & BotanicalSpringUsed in ~3 drinks
Vegetal, grassy, and gently astringent — green tea brings an umami-adjacent depth to cocktails that is subtler and more nuanced than its black tea cousin. Matcha preparations add a distinctive earthy richness and vivid color, while lighter green teas contribute a clean, oceanic quality. Green tea works especially well in Japanese-inspired cocktails and drinks featuring gin, sake, or shochu.
Aroma
The nose is grassy and marine — steamed vegetables, fresh seaweed, and a sweet, hay-like quality that in matcha preparations becomes dense, earthy, and almost chocolatey.
