``Costa coffee matcha espresso latte'' tasting review where you can taste the scent of matcha and the bitterness of espresso

Coca-Cola's cafe brand 'Costa Coffee' has released ' Costa Coffee Matcha Espresso Latte ', which is a cafe latte made with espresso and milk combined with matcha. It is said that it is an adult flavor latte where you can enjoy the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness, so I drank it immediately.

I poured it into a transparent glass to see the contents. It's a little hard to see in the image, but it seemed a little darker and slightly greener than a typical latte.

When I drank it, I felt the strong sweetness of sugar, but soon after that the bitterness of espresso and the scent of matcha spread in my mouth. Since the sweetness that spreads at the beginning is strong, the bitterness and the flavor of matcha that you feel afterwards are quite clear, so the impression that the matcha espresso latte itself has a solid taste. The latte with milk has a mellow taste, but not only the sweetness but also the bitterness remains strong as a lingering finish.

Costa Coffee Matcha Espresso Latte can be purchased at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide from May 22, 2023 (Monday). The suggested retail price is 177 yen excluding tax. It is also available on Amazon.co.jp, and you can purchase a set of 24 for 3786 yen including tax.
