MATSUKAZE FLAVOUR PROFILE

Perfect for clearing the fog of early mornings. Matsukaze offers a bold and refreshing wake-up. Pea shoots and toasted sesame are what we notice first, followed by subtle dark chocolate notes and finishing with a hint of pleasant astringency. One of our favourite choices for a daily latte.
