SAMIDORI FLAVOUR PROFILE

A richly layered aroma greets you when you whisk, evoking cocoa and cherries. As usucha, gentle notes of baby spinach are balanced by toasted nuts, the finish velvety and lingering.

As a latte, you might notice more of its natural sweetness, roasted depth, and the crisp vegetal notes that emerge above the milk.
