Apple Cinnamon Toast Matcha

Tastes bitter and like bananas

Had this out as a sample at last market, raves all around. Even the younger ones told mom it tasted like cinnamon toast.

I had high hopes for this matcha, but after receiving 3 bags that all smell and taste like banana, with the 3rd bag only having a slight aftertaste of cinnamon and maybe apple, I'd say this matcha is a fail. Which is so sad, as I love the unsweetened matchas, but this should taste like the name, not like bananas. I even had other people try the matcha (without telling them what I taste) and every single one said a bitter banana. I was surprised at how bitter this matcha is as well, because the other premium ones (not sweetened) that I have from Sipology are not bitter at all.

I am so sad about this matcha, as it had really high hopes of being super tasty, and I am surprised at the lack of cinnamon in this, as normally cinnamon is really easy to get a strong flavour. It is wild how much this really smells like banana, though. Made Hot or Cold, it just is a plain bitter banana matcha.
